2005-11-15Documentation: do not blindly run 'cat' .git/HEAD, or echo into it.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
Many places in the documentation we still talked about reading what commit is recorded in .git/HEAD or writing the new head information into it, both assuming .git/HEAD is a symlink. That is not necessarily so. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-11-11Change 'cache' to 'index' in the docsLibravatar Lukas_Sandström1-4/+4
This patch makes the documentation refer to the index as index instead of cache, but some references still remain. (e.g. git-update-index.txt) Signed-off-by: Lukas Sandström <lukass@etek.chalmers.se> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

Typos, light editing and clarifications. Signed-off-by: Christian Meder <chris@absolutegiganten.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-09-22Retire diff-helper.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+1
The textual diff generation with built-in '-p' in diff-* brothers has proven to be useful enough that git-diff-helper outlived its usefulness. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-09-07Big tool rename.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-5/+5
As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch. The primary differences since 0.99.6 are: (1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if something is implemented as a shell script or not. (2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with 'index' if that is what they mean. There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward compatibility support is expected to be removed in the near future.

2005-08-05[PATCH] Assorted documentation patchesLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-2/+2
[jc: Johannes spent time and effort to see how consistent our use of terminilogy is, and as a byproduct made these corrections not related to the terminology unification. I really appreciate it.] Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <Johannes.Schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-06-08[PATCH] Miniscule correction of diff-format.txtLibravatar Christian Meder1-6/+7
Add missing "space" element to the description of the diff-format. Signed-off-by: Christian Meder <chris@absolutegiganten.org> Acked-by: Petr Baudis <pasky@ucw.cz> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-06-05[PATCH] Documentation: describe git extended diff headers.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+35
The documentation failed to describe "diff --git" extended diff headers, so add some. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-05-30[PATCH] diff-helper: Fix R/C score parsing under -z flag.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
The score number that follow R/C status were parsed but the parse pointer was not updated, causing the entire line to become unrecognized. This patch fixes this problem. There was a test missing to catch this breakage, which this commit adds as t4009-diff-rename-4.sh. The diff-raw tests used in related t4005-diff-rename-2.sh (the same test without -z) and t4007-rename-3.sh were stricter than necessarily, despite that the comment for the tests said otherwise. This patch also corrects them. The documentation is updated to say that the status can optionally be followed by a number called "score"; it does not have to stay similarity index forever and there is no reason to limit it only to C and R.

2005-05-23[PATCH] diff-raw format update take #2.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-18/+24
This changes the diff-raw format again, following the mailing list discussion. The new format explicitly expresses which one is a rename and which one is a copy. The documentation and tests are updated to match this change. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-05-21[PATCH] The diff-raw format updates.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-12/+17
Update the diff-raw format as Linus and I discussed, except that it does not use sequence of underscore '_' letters to express nonexistence. All '0' mode is used for that purpose instead. The new diff-raw format can express rename/copy, and the earlier restriction that -M and -C _must_ be used with the patch format output is no longer necessary. The patch makes -M and -C flags independent of -p flag, so you need to say git-whatchanged -M -p to get the diff/patch format. Updated are both documentations and tests.

2005-05-15[PATCH 2/3] Rename git-diff-tree-helper to git-diff-helper.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
It used to be that diff-tree needed helper support to parse its raw output to generate diffs, but these days git-diff-* family produces the same output and the helper is not tied to diff-tree anymore. Drop "tree" from its name. This commit is done separately to record just the rename and no file content changes. The changes in the renamed files are recorded in the next commit. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> Bundled with the changes in the unrenamed files. Signed-off-by: Petr Baudis <pasky@ucw.cz>
