2008-07-05manpages: italicize git command names (which were in teletype font)Libravatar Jonathan Nieder1-7/+7
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 Nieder1-8/+8
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 Nieder1-1/+1
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>
2008-06-08Docs: Use "-l::\n--long\n" format in OPTIONS sectionsLibravatar Stephan Beyer1-10/+12
The OPTIONS section of a documentation file contains a list of the options a git command accepts. Currently there are several variants to describe the case that different options (almost) do the same in the OPTIONS section. Some are: -f, --foo:: -f|--foo:: -f | --foo:: But AsciiDoc has the special form: -f:: --foo:: This patch applies this form to the documentation of the whole git suite, and removes useless em-dash prevention, so \--foo becomes --foo.

2008-06-06documentation: move git(7) to git(1)Libravatar Christian Couder1-1/+1
As the "git" man page describes the "git" command at the end-user level, it seems better to move it to man section 1. Signed-off-by: Christian Couder <chriscool@tuxfamily.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-03-04Teach fetch-pack/upload-pack about --include-tagLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-1/+7
The new protocol extension "include-tag" allows the client side of the connection (fetch-pack) to request that the server side of the native git protocol (upload-pack / pack-objects) use --include-tag as it prepares the packfile, thus ensuring that an annotated tag object will be included in the resulting packfile if the object it refers to was also included into the packfile.

2008-01-06Documentation: rename gitlink macro to linkgitLibravatar Dan McGee1-2/+2
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>
2007-02-19fetch & clone: do not output progress when not on a ttyLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+4
This adds the option "--no-progress" to fetch-pack and upload-pack, and makes fetch and clone pass this option when stdout is not a tty. While at documenting that option, also document --strict and --timeout options for upload-pack.

2007-01-24rename --exec to --upload-pack for fetch-pack and peek-remoteLibravatar Uwe Kleine-König1-2/+5
Just some option name disambiguation. This is the counter part to commit d23842fd which made a similar change for push and send-pack. --exec continues to work. Signed-off-by: Uwe Kleine-König <ukleinek@informatik.uni-freiburg.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2007-01-17Documentation: suggest corresponding Porcelain-level in plumbing docs.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+3

2006-11-03improve fetch-pack's handling of kept packsLibravatar Nicolas Pitre1-1/+2
Since functions in fetch-clone.c were only used from fetch-pack.c, its content has been merged with fetch-pack.c. This allows for better coupling of features with much simpler implementations. One new thing is that the (abscence of) --thin also enforce it on index-pack now, such that index-pack will abort if a thin pack was _not_ asked for. The -k or --keep, when provided twice, now causes the fetched pack to be left as a kept pack just like receive-pack currently does. Eventually this will be used to close a race against concurrent repacking. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2005-12-17fetch-pack: -k option to keep downloaded pack.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+6
Split out the functions that deal with the socketpair after finishing git protocol handshake to receive the packed data into a separate file, and use it in fetch-pack to keep/explode the received pack data. We earlier had something like that on clone-pack side once, but the list discussion resulted in the decision that it makes sense to always keep the pack for clone-pack, so unpacking option is not enabled on the clone-pack side, but we later still could do so easily if we wanted to with this change.

2005-08-12fetch-pack: start multi-head pulling.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-11/+7
This is a beginning of resurrecting the multi-head pulling support for git-fetch-pack command. The git-fetch-script wrapper still only knows about fetching a single head, without renaming, so it is not very useful unless you directly call git-fetch-pack itself yet. It also fixes a longstanding obsolete description of how the command discovers the list of local commits.
