2010-01-10Documentation: spell 'git cmd' without dash throughoutLibravatar Thomas Rast1-1/+1
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.
2009-06-18Add -k option to cvsexportcommit to revert expanded CVS keywords in CVS ↵Libravatar Alex Bennée1-0/+4
working tree before applying commit patch Depending on how your CVS->GIT conversion went you will have some unexpanded CVS keywords in your GIT repo. If any of your git commits touch these lines then the patch application will fail. This patch addresses that by adding an option that will revert and expanded CVS keywords to files in the working CVS directory that are affected by the commit being applied.

2008-07-05manpages: italicize git command names (which were in teletype font)Libravatar Jonathan Nieder1-1/+1
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 .

2008-07-01Documentation formatting and cleanupLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-3/+4
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 Nieder1-4/+4
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

2008-05-15cvsexportcommit: introduce -W for shared working trees (between Git and CVS)Libravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+6
If you have a CVS checkout, it is easy to import the CVS history by calling "git cvsimport". However, interacting with the CVS repository using "git cvsexportcommit" was cumbersome, since that script assumes separate working directories for Git and CVS. Now, you can call cvsexportcommit with the -W option. This will automatically discover the GIT_DIR, and it will check out the parent commit before exporting the commit. The intended workflow is this: $ CVSROOT=$URL cvs co module $ cd module $ git cvsimport hack, hack, hack, making two commits, cleaning them up using rebase -i. $ git cvsexportcommit -W -c -p -u HEAD^ $ git cvsexportcommit -W -c -p -u HEAD Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2007-06-16Documentation: adjust to AsciiDoc 8Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
It turns out that the attribute definition we have had for a long time to hide "^" character from AsciiDoc 7 was not honored by AsciiDoc 8 even under "-a asciidoc7compatible" mode. There is a similar breakage with the "compatible" mode with + characters. The double colon at the end of definition list term needs to be attached to the term, without a whitespace. After this minimum fixups, AsciiDoc 8 (I used 8.2.1 on Debian) with compatibility mode seems to produce reasonably good results. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-06-07War on whitespaceLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-8/+7
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.

2005-11-07Introducing: git-cvsexportcommitLibravatar Martin Langhoff1-0/+56
A script that can replay commits git into a CVS checkout. Tries to ensure the sanity of the operation and supports mainly manual usage. If you are reckless enough, you can ask it to autocommit when everything has applied cleanly. Combined with a couple more scripts could become part of a git2cvs gateway. Should support adds/removes and binary files. Signed-off-by: Martin Langhoff <martin@catalyst.net.nz> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
