2007-03-04Documentation: mention module option to git-cvsimportLibravatar J. Bruce Fields1-1/+1
The git-cvsimport argument that specifies a cvs module to import should probably be included in the default example. Signed-off-by: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@citi.umich.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2007-01-28[PATCH] Rename git-repo-config to git-config.Libravatar Tom Prince1-1/+1

2007-01-12use 'init' instead of 'init-db' for shipped docs and toolsLibravatar Nicolas Pitre1-1/+1
While 'init-db' still is and probably will always remain a valid git command for obvious backward compatibility reasons, it would be a good idea to move shipped tools and docs to using 'init' instead. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-12-31Docs: update cvs-migration.txt to reflect clone's new default behaviorLibravatar J. Bruce Fields1-7/+4
I couldn't think of a really quick way to give all the details, so just refer readers to the git-repo-config man page instead. I haven't tested recent cvs import behavior--some time presumably it should be updated to do something more similar to clone. Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-12-08Documentation: simpler shared repository creationLibravatar J. Bruce Fields1-13/+14
Take Johannes Schindelin's suggestions for a further simplification of the shared repository creation using git --bare init-db --shared, and for a simplified cvsimport using an existing CVS working directory. Also insert more man page references. Signed-off-by: J.

2006-12-06Documentation: reorganize cvs-migration.txtLibravatar J. Bruce Fields1-245/+104
Modify cvs-migration.txt so it explains first how to develop against a shared repository, then how to set up a shared repository, then how to import a repository from cvs. Though this seems chronologically backwards, it's still readable in this order, and it puts the more commonly needed material closer to the front. Remove the annotate/pickaxe section; perhaps it can find a place elsewhere in the future. Remove most of the "why git is better than cvs" stuff from the introduction. Add some minor clarifications, including two that have come up several times on the mailing list: 1. Recommend committing any changes before running pull. 2. Note that changes must be commited before they can be pushed. Update the clone discussion to reflect the new --use-separate-remotes default, and add a brief mention of git-cvsserver.

2006-12-06cvs-migration: improved section titles, better push/commit explanationLibravatar J. Bruce Fields1-7/+12
Rename the section titles to make the "how-to" content of the section obvious. Also clarify that changes have to be commited before they can be pushed. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-12-06cvs-migration document: make the need for "push" more obviousLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+5
It really is an important concept to grasp for people coming from CVS. Even if it is briefly mentioned, it is not obvious enough to sink in. [jc: with wording updates from J. Bruce Fields] Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <Johannes.Schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-06-07Some doc typo fixesLibravatar Francis Daly1-1/+1
All should be clear enough, except perhaps committish / commitish. I just kept the more-used one within the current docs. [jc: with rephrasing of check-ref-format description later discussed on the list] Signed-off-by: Francis Daly <francis@daoine.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-01-30cvs-migration documentation updateLibravatar J. Bruce Fields1-106/+162
Here's some changes to the cvs-migration.txt. As usual, in my attempt to make things clearer someone may have found I've made them less so, or I may have just gotten something wrong; so any review is welcomed. I can break up this sort of thing into smaller steps if preferred, the monolothic patch is just a bit simpler for me for this sort of thing. I moved the material describing shared repository management from core-tutorial.txt to cvs-migration.txt, where it seems more appropriate, and combined two sections to eliminate some redundancy. I also revised the earlier sections of cvs-migration.txt, mainly trying to make it more concise. I've left the last section of cvs-migration.txt (on CVS annotate alternatives) alone for now.

2005-10-03[PATCH] Random documentation fixesLibravatar Jonas Fonseca1-4/+4
The fixes focuses on improving the HTML output. Most noteworthy: - Fix the Makefile to also make various *.html files depend on included files. - Consistently use 'NOTE: ...' instead of '[ ... ]' for additional info. - Fix ending '::' for description lists in OPTION section etc. - Fix paragraphs in description lists ending up as preformated text. - Always use listingblocks (preformatted text wrapped in lines with -----) for examples that span empty lines, so they are put in only one HTML block. - Use '1.' instead of '(1)' for numbered lists. - Fix linking to other GIT docs. - git-rev-list.txt: put option descriptions in an OPTION section.

2005-09-11[PATCH] Escape asciidoc's built-in em-dash replacementLibravatar Yasushi SHOJI1-1/+1
AsciiDoc replace '--' with em-dash (&#8212) by default. em-dash looks a lot like a single long dash and it's very confusing when we are talking about command options. Section 21.2.8 'Replacements' of AsciiDoc's User Guide says that a backslash in front of double dash prevent the replacement. This patch does just that.

2005-08-01CVS-like push-pull description update.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-6/+4
- Yes, push does not lock, but that does not mean it is not meant for multi-user repository. It just ought to perform correctly without using locks. - Let's not pretend we know _the_ right way. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2005-06-12[PATCH] cvs-migration.txtLibravatar Tommy M. McGuire1-5/+7
Slightly expand the cvsimport description, and make a couple of syntax edits. The way I figure it, telling someone why cvsimport is taking so long will improve their overall user experience. :-) Signed-off-by: Tommy McGuire <mcguire@crsr.net> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

We should add a lot more information about how you copy repositories, pulling and pushing, merging etc. Oh, well. I'm not exactly known for my documentation skills. Maybe somebody else will help me..
