2008-09-05Mention the fact that 'git annotate' is only for backward compatibility.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+5
When somebody is reading git-blame.txt (or git-annotate.txt) for the first time, the message we would like to send is: (1) Here is why you would want to use this command, what it can do (perhaps more than what you would have expected from "$scm blame"), and how you tell it to do what it does. This is obvious. (2) You might have heard of the command with the other name. There is no difference between the two, except they differ in their default output formats. This is essential to answer: "git has both? how are they different?" (3) We tend to encourage blame over annotate for new scripts and new people, but there is no reason to choose one over the other. This is not as important as (2), but would be useful to avoid repeated questions about "when will we start deprecating this?" As long as we describe (2) on git-annotate page clearly enough, people who read git-blame page first and get curious can refer to git-annotate page. While at it, subtly hint (3) without being overly explicit. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-07-01Documentation formatting and cleanupLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-1/+1
Following what appears to be the predominant style, format names of commands and commandlines both as `teletype text`. While we're at it, add articles ("a" and "the") in some places, italicize the name of the command in the manual page synopsis line, and add a comma or two where it seems appropriate.

2008-07-01Documentation: be consistent about "git-" versus "git "Libravatar Jonathan Nieder1-1/+1
Since the git-* commands are not installed in $(bindir), using "git-command <parameters>" in examples in the documentation is not a good idea. On the other hand, it is nice to be able to refer to each command using one hyphenated word. (There is no escaping it, anyway: man page names cannot have spaces in them.) This patch retains the dash in naming an operation, command, program, process, or action. Complete command lines that can be entered at a shell (i.e., without options omitted) are made to use the dashless form. The changes consist only of replacing some spaces with hyphens and vice versa. After a "s/ /-/g", the unpatched and patched versions are identical. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@uchicago.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-06-06documentation: move git(7) to git(1)Libravatar Christian Couder1-1/+1
As the "git" man page describes the "git" command at the end-user level, it seems better to move it to man section 1. Signed-off-by: Christian Couder <chriscool@tuxfamily.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-01-06Documentation: rename gitlink macro to linkgitLibravatar Dan McGee1-2/+2
Between AsciiDoc 8.2.2 and 8.2.3, the following change was made to the stock Asciidoc configuration: @@ -149,7 +153,10 @@ # Inline macros. # Backslash prefix required for escape processing. # (?s) re flag for line spanning. -(?su)[\\]?(?P<name>\w(\w|-)*?):(?P<target>\S*?)(\[(?P<attrlist>.*?)\])= + +# Explicit so they can be nested. +(?su)[\\]?(?P<name>(http|https|ftp|file|mailto|callto|image|link)):(?P<target>\S*?)(\[(?P<attrlist>.*?)\])= + # Anchor: [[[id]]]. Bibliographic anchor. (?su)[\\]?\[\[\[(?P<attrlist>[\w][\w-]*?)\]\]\]=anchor3 # Anchor: [[id,xreflabel]] This default regex now matches explicit values, and unfortunately in this case gitlink was being matched by just 'link', causing the wrong inline macro template to be applied. By renaming the macro, we can avoid being matched by the wrong regex. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dpmcgee@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-04-16Update git-annotate/git-blame documentationLibravatar Andrew Ruder1-14/+1
Moved options that pertained to both git-blame and git-annotate to a common file blame-options.txt. builtin-blame.c: Removed --compatibility, --long, --time from the short usage as they are not handled in the code. Documentation/git-blame.txt: Removed common options to git-annotate. Added documentation for --score-debug. Removed --compatibility. Adjusted usage at top to not wrap on 80 columns. Documentation/git-annotate.txt: Using common options blame-options.txt. Documentation/blame-options.txt: Added -b note about associated config option, added --root note about associated config option, added documentation for --show-stats. Removed --long, --time, --rev-file as those options do not really exist. Added documentation for -M/-C taking an optional score argument for detection of moved lines.
