2011-03-11doc: drop author/documentation sections from most pagesLibravatar Jeff King1-10/+0
The point of these sections is generally to: 1. Give credit where it is due. 2. Give the reader an idea of where to ask questions or file bug reports. But they don't do a good job of either case. For (1), they are out of date and incomplete. A much more accurate answer can be gotten through shortlog or blame. For (2), the correct contact point is generally git@vger, and even if you wanted to cc the contact point, the out-of-date and incomplete fields mean you're likely sending to somebody useless. So let's drop the fields entirely from all manpages except git(1) itself. We already point people to the mailing list for bug reports there, and we can update the Authors section to give credit to the major contributors and point to shortlog and blame for more information. Each page has a "This is part of git" footer, so people can follow that to the main git manpage.

2010-08-09Documentation: cite git-am from git-applyLibravatar Brad King1-0/+10
Users reading git-apply documentation may also be interested in git-am, especially after receiving an email created with git-format-patch. The documentation for git-am already references git-apply. Add the reverse. Signed-off-by: Brad King <brad.king@kitware.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2010-01-10Documentation: spell 'git cmd' without dash throughoutLibravatar Thomas Rast1-5/+5
The documentation was quite inconsistent when spelling 'git cmd' if it only refers to the program, not to some specific invocation syntax: both 'git-cmd' and 'git cmd' spellings exist. The current trend goes towards dashless forms, and there is precedent in 647ac70 (git-svn.txt: stop using dash-form of commands., 2009-07-07) to actively eliminate the dashed variants. Replace 'git-cmd' with 'git cmd' throughout, except where git-shell, git-cvsserver, git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack, and git-upload-archive are concerned, because those really live in the $PATH.
2009-11-22apply: Use the term "working tree" consistentlyLibravatar Björn Gustavsson1-2/+2
The documentation for 'git apply' uses both the terms "work tree" and "working tree". Since the glossary uses the term "working tree", change all occurrences of "work tree" to "working tree". Signed-off-by: Björn Gustavsson <bgustavsson@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2009-11-22apply: apply works outside a repositoryLibravatar Björn Gustavsson1-3/+6
The documentation for 'git apply' talks about applying a patch/diff to the index and to the working tree, which seems to imply that it will not work outside a git repository. Actually 'git patch' works outside a repository (which can be useful especially for applying binary or rename patches that the standard "patch" utility cannot handle), so the documentation should mention it. Thanks to Junio for suggesting better wording. Signed-off-by: Björn Gustavsson <bgustavsson@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-11-22Clarify and correct -zLibravatar Björn Gustavsson1-5/+7
The description for -z is too vague and general for the apply, diff*, and log commands. Change the description of -z for 'git log' to note that commits will be separated by NULs. Change the description of -z for 'git diff*' and 'git apply' to note that it applies to the --numstat option, and for 'git diff*' also for --raw option. Also correct the description of the "munging" of pathanmes that takes place in the absence of -z for the 'git diff*' and 'git apply' commands, namely that apart from the characters mentioned, double quotes will also be escaped and that the pathname will be enclosed in double quotes if any characters are escaped.

2009-08-05git apply: option to ignore whitespace differencesLibravatar Giuseppe Bilotta1-0/+13
Introduce --ignore-whitespace option and corresponding config bool to ignore whitespace differences while applying patches, akin to the 'patch' program.

2009-05-31git-apply(1): Clarify that one can select where to apply the patchLibravatar Björn Steinbrink1-1/+1

2008-12-30parse-opt: migrate builtin-apply.Libravatar Miklos Vajna1-2/+2
The only incompatible change is that the user how have to use '--' before a patch file if it is named "--build-fake-ancestor=something". Signed-off-by: Miklos Vajna <vmiklos@frugalware.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-09-06git-apply:--include=pathspecLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+13
This allows --include=pathspec, similar to --exclude=pathspec. The rule when one or both of these are used is that the include/exclude patterns are examined in the order they are given on the command line, and the first match determines if a patch to each path is used or not. Hence: $ git apply --include='specific.h' --exclude='*.h' <diff would apply the patch to specific.h header file, but all other patches in the input file to other header files are ignored. A patch to a path that does not match any include/exclude pattern is used by default if there is no include pattern on the command line, and ignored if there is any include pattern. This originally came from Joe Perches, but both the design of the semantics and the implementation have been redone complately. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-07-09Merge branch 'js/apply-root'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+9
* js/apply-root: git-apply --directory: make --root more similar to GNU diff apply --root: thinkofix. Teach "git apply" to prepend a prefix with "--root=<root>"
2008-07-06git-apply --directory: make --root more similar to GNU diffLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+6
Applying a patch in the directory that is different from what the patch records is done with --directory option in GNU diff. The --root option we introduced previously does the same, and we can call it the same way to give users more familiar feel. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-07-05manpages: italicize nongit command names (if they are in teletype font)Libravatar Jonathan Nieder1-1/+1
Some manual pages use teletype font to set command names. We change them to use italics, instead. This creates a visual distinction between names of commands and command lines that can be typed at the command line. It is also more consistent with other man pages outside Git. In this patch, the commands named are non-git commands like bash. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@uchicago.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-07-05manpages: italicize git command names (which were in teletype font)Libravatar Jonathan Nieder1-5/+5
The names of git commands are not meant to be entered at the commandline; they are just names. So we render them in italics, as is usual for command names in manpages. Using doit () { perl -e 'for (<>) { s/\`(git-[^\`.]*)\`/'\''\1'\''/g; print }' } for i in git*.txt config.txt diff*.txt blame*.txt fetch*.txt i18n.txt \ merge*.txt pretty*.txt pull*.txt rev*.txt urls*.txt do doit <"$i" >"$i+" && mv "$i+" "$i" done git diff .

2008-07-01Teach "git apply" to prepend a prefix with "--root=<root>"Libravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+5
With "git apply --root=<root>", all file names in the patch are prepended with <root>. If a "-p" value was given, the paths are stripped _before_ prepending <root>. Wished for by HPA. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-07-01Documentation formatting and cleanupLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-6/+6
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>
2008-06-28Allow git-apply to recount the lines in a hunk (AKA recountdiff)Libravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+6
Sometimes, the easiest way to fix up a patch is to edit it directly, even adding or deleting lines. Now, many people are not as divine as certain benevolent dictators as to update the hunk headers correctly at the first try. So teach the tool to do it for us.

2008-06-08Docs: Use "-l::\n--long\n" format in OPTIONS sectionsLibravatar Stephan Beyer1-3/+6
The OPTIONS section of a documentation file contains a list of the options a git command accepts. Currently there are several variants to describe the case that different options (almost) do the same in the OPTIONS section. Some are: -f, --foo:: -f|--foo:: -f | --foo:: But AsciiDoc has the special form: -f:: --foo:: This patch applies this form to the documentation of the whole git suite, and removes useless em-dash prevention, so \--foo becomes --foo.

2008-06-06documentation: move git(7) to git(1)Libravatar Christian Couder1-1/+1

2007-11-24core.whitespace: documentation updates.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-14/+21
This adds description of core.whitespace to the manual page of git-config, and updates the stale description of whitespace handling in the manual page of git-apply. Also demote "strip" to a synonym status for "fix" as the value of --whitespace option given to git-apply. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-09-18apply: get rid of --index-info in favor of --build-fake-ancestorLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-4/+7
git-am used "git apply -z --index-info" to find the original versions of the files touched by the diff, to be able to do an inexpensive three-way merge. This operation makes only sense in a repository, since the index information in the diff refers to blobs, which have to be present in the current repository. Therefore, teach "git apply" a mode to write out the result as an index file to begin with, obviating the need for scripts to do it themselves. The sole user for --index-info is "git am" is converted to use --build-fake-ancestor in this patch.

Apply "Subproject commit HEX" changes produced by git-diff. As usual in the current git, only the superproject itself is actually modified (possibly creating empty directories for new submodules). Any checked-out submodule is left untouched and is not required to be up-to-date. With clean-ups from Junio C Hamano.

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.

Historically we did not allow binary patch applied without an explicit permission from the user, and this flag was the way to do so. This makes the flag a no-op by always allowing binary patch application. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-08-27git-apply --reject: finishing touches.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+2
After a failed "git am" attempt: git apply --reject --verbose .dotest/patch applies hunks that are applicable and leaves *.rej files the rejected hunks, and it reports what it is doing. With --index, files with a rejected hunk do not get their index entries updated at all, so "git diff" will show the hunks that successfully got applied. Without --verbose to remind the user that the patch updated some other paths cleanly, it is very easy to lose track of the status of the working tree, so --reject implies --verbose.
