As with git-add, I think previous updates to the git-commit man page did
indeed help make it more user-friendly. But I think the banishment of
the word "index" from the description goes too far; reinstate its use,
to simplify some of the language slightly and smooth the transition to
other documentation.

Add it to the list in config.txt and explicitly say that the
--template option to git-commit overrides the configuration variable.

These are useful in organizations that enforce particular formats
for commit messages, e.g., to specify bug IDs or test plans.
Use of the template is not enforced; it is simply used as the
initial content when the editor is invoked.

These variables let you specify an editor that will be launched in
preference to the EDITOR and VISUAL environment variables. The order
of preference is GIT_EDITOR, core.editor, EDITOR, VISUAL.

Documentation based on description of commit 443f8338 which added
'-u'|'--untracked-files' option to git-status, and on git-runstatus(1)
man page.
Note that those options apply also to git-status.

The --interactive option behaves like "git commit", except that
"git add --interactive" is executed before committing. It is
incompatible with -a and -i.

We used to get the following confusing error message:
$ git commit --amend -a -m foo
Option -m cannot be combined with -c/-C/-F
This is because --amend cannot be combined with -c/-C/-F, which makes
sense, because they try to handle the same log message in different ways.
So update the documentation to reflect this.

Despite what the documentation claims, git-commit does not check commit
for suspicious lines: all hooks are disabled by default,
and the pre-comit hook could be changed to do something else.

It is nicer to let the user know when a commit succeeded all the time,
not only the first time. Also the commit sha1 is much more useful than
the tree sha1 in this case.
This patch also introduces a -q switch to supress this message as well
as the summary of created/deleted files.

The "--amend" option is used to amend the tip of the current branch. This
documentation text was copied straight from the commit that implemented it.
Some minor format tweaks for asciidoc were taken from work by Francis Daly
in commit b0d08a5.. It looks good now also in the html page.
[jc: amended further to follow the recommendation by Francis in
commit 3070b60].

This changes the "git commit paths..." to default to --only
semantics from traditional --include semantics, as agreed on the
list.
Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

- "git commit" without _any_ parameter keeps the traditional
behaviour. It commits the current index.
We commit the whole index even when this form is run from a
subdirectory.
- "git commit --include paths..." (or "git commit -i paths...")
is equivalent to:
git update-index --remove paths...
git commit
- "git commit paths..." acquires a new semantics. This is an
incompatible change that needs user training, which I am
still a bit reluctant to swallow, but enough people seem to
have complained that it is confusing to them. It
1. refuses to run if $GIT_DIR/MERGE_HEAD exists, and reminds
trained git users that the traditional semantics now needs
-i flag.
2. refuses to run if named paths... are different in HEAD and
the index (ditto about reminding). Added paths are OK.
3. reads HEAD commit into a temporary index file.
4. updates named paths... from the working tree in this
temporary index.
5. does the same updates of the paths... from the working
tree to the real index.
6. makes a commit using the temporary index that has the
current HEAD as the parent, and updates the HEAD with this
new commit.
- "git commit --all" can run from a subdirectory, but it updates
the index with all the modified files and does a whole tree
commit.
- In all cases, when the command decides not to create a new
commit, the index is left as it was before the command is
run. This means that the two "git diff" in the following
sequence:
$ git diff
$ git commit -a
$ git diff
would show the same diff if you abort the commit process by
making the commit log message empty.
This commit also introduces much requested --author option.
$ git commit --author 'A U Thor <author@example.com>'

Morten Welinder says examples of resetting is really about
recovering from botched commit/pulls. I agree that pointers
from commands that cause a reset to be needed in the first place
would be very helpful.
Also reset examples did not mention "pull/merge" cases.

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.
