2008-05-08Documentation: bisect: add a few "git bisect run" examplesLibravatar Christian Couder1-0/+49
Before this patch, there were no "git bisect run" example. Signed-off-by: Christian Couder <chriscool@tuxfamily.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-04-11bisect: add "git bisect help" subcommand to get a long usage stringLibravatar Christian Couder1-0/+7
Users are not often aware of the fact that "git bisect -h" can give them a long usage description, as "git bisect" seems to accept only dashless subcommands like "start", "good", ... That's why this patch adds a "git bisect help" subcommand that just calls "git bisect -h". This new subcommand is also fully documented in the short usage string (that "git bisect" gives), in the long usage string and in the man page (that "git help bisect" gives).

2008-01-06Documentation: rename gitlink macro to linkgitLibravatar Dan McGee1-1/+1
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>
2007-12-08git-bisect visualize: work in non-windowed environments betterLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+10
This teaches "git bisect visualize" to be more useful in non-windowed environments. (1) When no option is given, and $DISPLAY is set, it continues to spawn gitk as before; (2) When no option is given, and $DISPLAY is unset, "git log" is run to show the range of commits between the bad one and the good ones; (3) If only "-flag" options are given, "git log <options>" is run. E.g. "git bisect visualize --stat" (4) Otherwise, all of the given options are taken as the initial part of the command line and the commit range expression is given to that command. E.g. "git bisect visualize tig" will run "tig" history viewer to show between the bad one and the good ones. As "visualize" is a bit too long to type, we also give it a shorter synonym "view".

2007-10-26Bisect run: "skip" current commit if script exit code is 125.Libravatar Christian Couder1-3/+7
This is incompatible with previous versions because an exit code of 125 used to mark current commit as "bad". But hopefully this exit code is not much used by test scripts or other programs. (126 and 127 are used by POSIX compliant shells to mean "found but not executable" and "command not found", respectively.)

2007-06-07War on whitespaceLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+1
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.

2007-03-23Bisect: implement "git bisect run <cmd>..." to automatically bisect.Libravatar Christian Couder1-0/+30
This idea was suggested by Bill Lear (Message-ID: <17920.38942.364466.642979@lisa.zopyra.com>) and I think it is a very good one. This patch adds a new test file for "git bisect run", but there is currently only one basic test.

Use the same trick Josef used to introduce line breaks for git-mv documentation for now, to help HTML rendering. This breaks manpages and we need to come up with a better solution. Noticed by linux@horizon.com (No Name). Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2005-10-03[PATCH] Random documentation fixesLibravatar Jonas Fonseca1-1/+1
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.

2005-09-07Big tool rename.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+90
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.
