| * Let git-help prefer man-pages installed with this version of gitSergei Organov2007-12-081-0/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Prepend $(prefix)/share/man to the MANPATH environment variable before invoking 'man' from help.c:show_man_page(). There may be other git documentation in the user's MANPATH but the user is asking a specific instance of git about its own documentation, so we'd better show the documentation for _that_ instance of git.

* | git-help: add -w|--web option to display html man page in a browser.Christian Couder2007-12-091-15/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now when using "git help -w cmd", we will try to show the HTML man page "git-cmd.html" in your prefered web browser. To do that "help.c" code will call a new shell script "git-browse-help". This currently works only if the HTML versions of the man page have been installed in $(htmldir) (typically "/usr/share/doc/git-doc"), so new target to do that is added to "Documentation/Makefile". The browser to use can be configured using the "web.browser" config variable. We try to open a new tab in an existing web browser, if possible. The code in "git-browse-help" is heavily stolen from "git-mergetool" by Theodore Y. Ts'o. Thanks.

* include $PATH in generating list of commands for "help -a"Scott R Parish2007-10-291-37/+120
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Git had previously been using the $PATH for scripts--a previous patch moved exec'ed commands to also use the $PATH. For consistency "help -a" should also list commands in the $PATH. The main commands are still listed from the git_exec_path(), but the $PATH is walked and other git commands (probably extensions) are listed.

* list_commands(): simplify code by using chdir()Scott R Parish2007-10-291-15/+3
| | | | | | | | The current code builds absolute path strings for each file to stat(), this can easily be avoided by chdir()ing into the directory. Signed-off-by: Scott R Parish <srp@srparish.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* remove unused/unneeded "pattern" argument of list_commandsScott R Parish2007-10-291-6/+8
| | | | | | | | | | list_commands() currently accepts and ignores a "pattern" argument, and then hard codes a prefix as well as some magic numbers. This hardcodes the prefix inside of the function and removes the magic numbers. Signed-off-by: Scott R Parish <srp@srparish.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

| | | | | | | | The double LF were there only because we gave a list of common commands. WIth the list gone, there is no reason to have the extra blank line. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

* War on whitespaceJunio C Hamano2007-06-071-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | This uses "git-apply --whitespace=strip" to fix whitespace errors that have crept in to our source files over time. There are a few files that need to have trailing whitespaces (most notably, test vectors). The results still passes the test, and build result in Documentation/ area is unchanged.

* Mechanical conversion to use prefixcmp()Junio C Hamano2007-02-201-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This mechanically converts strncmp() to use prefixcmp(), but only when the parameters match specific patterns, so that they can be verified easily. Leftover from this will be fixed in a separate step, including idiotic conversions like if (!strncmp("foo", arg, 3)) => if (!(-prefixcmp(arg, "foo"))) This was done by using this script in px.perl #!/usr/bin/perl -i.bak -p if (/strncmp\(([^,]+), "([^\\"]*)", (\d+)\)/ && (length($2) == $3)) { s|strncmp\(([^,]+), "([^\\"]*)", (\d+)\)|prefixcmp($1, "$2")|; } if (/strncmp\("([^\\"]*)", ([^,]+), (\d+)\)/ && (length($1) == $3)) { s|strncmp\("([^\\"]*)", ([^,]+), (\d+)\)|(-prefixcmp($2, "$1"))|; } and running: $ git grep -l strncmp -- '*.c' | xargs perl px.perl Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Avoid ugly linewrap in git helpRen,bi(B Scharfe2007-02-111-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | Some of the short help texts that are shown e.g. when running 'git' without any parameters wrap on a 80-column terminal. They are just one character over the line. This patch avoids it by decreasing the number of spaces around the preceding command name from four to three (on both sides for symmetry).

* simplify inclusion of system header files.Junio C Hamano2006-12-201-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a mechanical clean-up of the way *.c files include system header files. (1) sources under compat/, platform sha-1 implementations, and xdelta code are exempt from the following rules; (2) the first #include must be "git-compat-util.h" or one of our own header file that includes it first (e.g. config.h, builtin.h, pkt-line.h); (3) system headers that are included in "git-compat-util.h" need not be included in individual C source files. (4) "git-compat-util.h" does not have to include subsystem specific header files (e.g. expat.h). Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

* builtins: Makefile clean-upJunio C Hamano2006-08-041-0/+234
This cleans up the build procedure for built-in commands by: - generating mostly redundant definition of BUILT_INS from BUILTIN_OBJS in the Makefile, - renaming a few files to make the above possible, and - sorting the built-in command table in git.c. It might be a good idea to binary search (or perfect hash) the built-in command table, but that can be done later when somebody feels like. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
