2007-03-05Fix diff-options references in git-diff and git-format-patchLibravatar Brian Gernhardt1-1/+1
Most of the git-diff-* documentation used [<common diff options>] instead of [--diff-options], so make that change in git-diff and git-format-patch. In addition, git-format-patch didn't include the meanings of the diff options. Signed-off-by: Brian Gernhardt <benji@silverinsanity.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2007-01-17Refer users to git-rev-parse for revision specification syntax.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+3
The revision specification syntax (sometimes referred to as SHA1-expressions) is accepted almost everywhere in Git by almost every tool. Unfortunately it is only documented in git-rev-parse.txt, and most users don't know to look there. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-12-20diff documentation: mostly talk about <commit>Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+2
This corrects minor remaining bits that still talked about <tree-ish>; the Porcelain users (as opposed to plumbers) are mostly interested in commits so use <commit> consistently and keep a sentence that mentions that <tree-ish> can be used in place of them.
2006-12-15Make git-diff documentation use [--] when it should.Libravatar Brian Gernhardt1-3/+3
Two of the cases has "[--] [<path>...]" and two had "-- [<path>...]". Not terribly consistent and potentially confusing. Also add "[--]" to the synopsis so that it's obvious you can use it from the very beginning. Signed-off-by: Brian Gernhardt <benji@silverinsanity.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-12-14Update git-diff documentationLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-17/+35
Porcelain documentation should talk in terms of end-user workflow, not in terms of implementation details. Do not suggest update-index, but git-add instead. Explain differences among 0-, 1- and 2-tree cases not as differences of number of trees given to the command, but say why user would want to give these number of trees to the command in what situation.

2006-12-13Revert "git-diff: Introduce --index and deprecate --cached."Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+2
This reverts commit 4c81c213a479e4aae0653a56ad6e8db5c31f019c. Although --cached and --index are confusing wording, the use of word --cached for git-diff is consistent with git-apply. It means "work with index without looking at the working tree". We should probably come up with better wording for --cached, if somebody wants to deprecate it. But making --index and --cached synonyms for diff while leaving them mean different things for apply is no good.
2006-12-01git-diff: Introduce --index and deprecate --cached.Libravatar Andreas Ericsson1-2/+4
'git diff --cached' still works, but its use is discouraged in the documentation. 'git diff --index' does the same thing and is consistent with how 'git apply --index' works. Signed-off-by: Andreas Ericsson <ae@op5.se> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-04-28Fix up remaining man pages that use asciidoc "callouts".Libravatar Sean Estabrooks1-19/+19
Unfortunately docbook does not allow a callout to be referenced from inside a callout list description. Rewrite one paragraph in git-reset man page to work around this limitation. Signed-off-by: Sean Estabrooks <seanlkml@sympatico.ca>

The table facility was nice in rendering HTML but was disastrous for man page. Reword the text and do not use table for now. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2005-09-07Big tool rename.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+38
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.
