2007-08-28git-add: Make the filename globbing note a bit clearerLibravatar Petr Baudis1-3/+3
I think the trick with Git-side filename globbing is important and perhaps not that well known. Clarify a bit in git-add documentation what it means. Signed-off-by: Petr Baudis <pasky@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-08-25Make usage documentation for git-add consistent.Libravatar Brian Hetro1-2/+4
The usage string for the executable was missing --refresh. In addition, the documentation referred to "file", but the usage string referred to "filepattern". Updated the documentation to "filepattern", as git-add does handle patterns. Signed-off-by: Brian Hetro <whee@smaertness.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2007-08-05documentation: use the word "index" in the git-add manual pageLibravatar J. Bruce Fields1-19/+22
It was a neat trick to show that you could introduce the git-add manual page without using the word "index", and it was certainly an improvement over the previous man page (which started out "A simple wrapper for git-update-index to add files to the index..."). But it's possible to use the standard terminology without sacrificing user-friendliness. So, rewrite to use the word "index" when appropriate. Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu>
2007-06-07War on whitespaceLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+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.

2006-12-25git-add -f: allow adding otherwise ignored files.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+6
Instead of just warning, refuse to add otherwise ignored files by default, and allow it with an -f option. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-12-25git-add: add ignored files when asked explicitly.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+8
One thing many people found confusing about git-add was that a file whose name matches an ignored pattern could not be added to the index. With this, such a file can be added by explicitly spelling its name to git-add. Fileglobs and recursive behaviour do not add ignored files to the index. That is, if a pattern '*.o' is in .gitignore, and two files foo.o, bar/baz.o are in the working tree: $ git add foo.o $ git add '*.o' $ git add bar Only the first form adds foo.o to the index.

2006-12-04make 'git add' a first class user friendly interface to the indexLibravatar Nicolas Pitre1-25/+28
This brings the power of the index up front using a proper mental model without talking about the index at all. See for example how all the technical discussion has been evacuated from the git-add man page. Any content to be committed must be added together. Whether that content comes from new files or modified files doesn't matter. You just need to "add" it, either with git-add, or by providing git-commit with -a (for already known files only of course). No need for a separate command to distinguish new vs modified files please. That would only screw the mental model everybody should have when using GIT.

A bare "--" doesn't show up in man or html pages correctly as two individual dashes unless backslashed as \-- in the asciidoc source. Note, no backslash is needed inside a literal block. Signed-off-by: Sean Estabrooks <seanlkml@sympatico.ca> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

Pair up git-add and git-rm by adding a 'see also' section that references the opposite command to each of their documentation files. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-02-21git-add: Add support for --, documentation, and test.Libravatar Carl Worth1-1/+6
This adds support to git-add to allow the common -- to separate command-line options and file names. It adds documentation and a new git-add test case as well. [jc: this should apply to 1.2.X maintenance series, so I reworked git-ls-files --error-unmatch test. ] Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

Its use of git-ls-files --others is very nice, but sometimes gives surprising results, so we'd better talk about it. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2005-09-07Big tool rename.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+33
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.
