The hook was added in a86ed83cce (Merge branch 'tr/notes-display' -
2010-03-24), which updated githooks.txt but not git-commit.txt.
git-commit.txt was later updated in e858af6d50 (commit: document a
couple of options - 2012-06-08). Since this commit focused on command
line options, this section was probably forgotten.

"git commit --allow-empty --only" (no pathspec) with dirty index
ought to be an acceptable way to create a new commit that does not
change any paths, but it was forbidden, perhaps because nobody
needed it so far.
* ak/commit-only-allow-empty:
commit: remove 'Clever' message for --only --amend
commit: make --only --allow-empty work without paths
|
|
--only is implied when paths are present, and required
them unless --amend. But with --allow-empty it should
be allowed as well - it is the only way to create an
empty commit in the presence of staged changes.

Documentation for "git commit" was updated to clarify that "commit
-p <paths>" adds to the current contents of the index to come up
with what to commit.
* nd/commit-p-doc:
git-commit.txt: clarify --patch mode with pathspec
|
|
How pathspec is used, with and without --interactive/--patch, is
different. But this is not clear from the document. These changes hint
the user to keep reading (to option #5) instead of stopping at #2 and
assuming --patch/--interactive behaves the same way.
And since all the options listed here always mention how the index is
involved (or not) in the final commit, add that bit for #5 as well. This
"on top of the index" is implied when you head over git-add(1), but if
you just go straight to the "Interactive mode" and not read what git-add
is for, you may miss it.

Similarly to the previous commit, use backquotes instead of
forward-quotes, for long options.
This was obtained with:
perl -pi -e "s/'(--[a-z][a-z=<>-]*)'/\`\$1\`/g" *.txt
and manual tweak to remove false positive in ascii-art (o'--o'--o' to
describe rewritten history).

It was common in our documentation to surround short option names with
forward quotes, which renders as italic in HTML. Instead, use backquotes
which renders as monospace. This is one more step toward conformance to
Documentation/CodingGuidelines.
This was obtained with:
perl -pi -e "s/'(-[a-z])'/\`\$1\`/g" *.txt

Wrap with backticks (monospaced font) unwrapped or single-quotes wrapped
(italic type) environment variables which are followed by the word
"environment". It was obtained with:
perl -pi -e "s/\'?(\\\$?[0-9A-Z\_]+)\'?(?= environment ?)/\`\1\`/g" *.txt
One of the main purposes is to stick to the CodingGuidelines as possible so
that people writting new documentation by mimicking the existing are more likely
to have it right (even if they didn't read the CodingGuidelines).

Modify various document (man page) files to explain
in more detail what --signoff means.
This was inspired by https://lwn.net/Articles/669976/ where
paulj noted, "adding [the] '-s' argument to [a] git commit
doesn't really mean you have even heard of the DCO...".
Extending git's documentation will make it easier to argue
that developers understood --signoff when they use it.

Improve the documentation of commands taking optional arguments in two
ways:
* Documents the behavior of '-O' (for grep) and '-S' (for commands
creating commits) when used without the optional argument.
* Document the syntax of these options.
For the second point, the behavior is documented in gitcli(7), but it is
easy for users to miss, and hard for the same user to understand why e.g.
"git status -u no" does not work.
Document this explicitly in the documentation of each short option having
an optional argument: they are the most error prone since there is no '='
sign between the option and its argument.

The `-v` shows a unified diff in the editor to edit the commit
message to help the user to describe the change. The diff is
stripped and will not become a part of the commit message.

the description for the default `--cleanup` mode.

git commit and git status in long format show the diff between HEAD
and the index when given -v. This allows previewing a commit to be made.
They also list tracked files with unstaged changes, but without a diff.
Introduce '-v -v' which shows the diff between the index and the
worktree in addition to the HEAD index diff. This allows a review of unstaged
changes which might be missing from the commit.
In the case of '-v -v', additonal header lines
Changes to be committed:
and
Changes not staged for commit:
are inserted before the diffs, which are equal to those in the status
part; the latter preceded by 50*"-" to make it stick out more.

"When you need to use space, use dash" is a strange way to say that
you must not use a space. Because it is more common for the command
line descriptions to use dashed-multi-words, you do not even want to
use spaces in these places. Rephrase the documentation to avoid
this strangeness.
Fix a few existing multi-word argument help strings, i.e.
- GPG key-ids given to -S/--gpg-sign are "key-id";
- Refs used for storing notes are "notes-ref"; and
- Expiry timestamps given to --expire are "expiry-date".
and update the corresponding documentation pages.

Since 1a72cfd (commit -v: strip diffs and submodule shortlogs from the
commit message - 2013-12-05) we have a less fragile way to cut out
"git status" at the end of a commit message but it's only enabled for
stripping submodule shortlogs.
Add new cleanup option that reuses the same mechanism for the entire
"git status" without accidentally removing lines starting with '#'.

You can currently set the output format to --short or
--porcelain. There is no --long, because we default to it
already. However, you may want to override an alias that
uses "--short" to get back to the default.
This requires a little bit of refactoring, because currently
we use STATUS_FORMAT_LONG internally to mean the same as
"the user did not specify anything". By expanding the enum
to include STATUS_FORMAT_NONE, we can distinguish between
the implicit and explicit cases. This effects these
conditions:
1. The user has asked for NUL termination. With NONE, we
currently default to turning on the porcelain mode.
With an explicit --long, we would in theory use NUL
termination with the long mode, but it does not support
it. So we can just complain and die.
2. When an output format is given to "git commit", we
default to "--dry-run". This behavior would now kick in
when "--long" is given, too.
