2010-02-18Documentation: describe --thin more accuratelyLibravatar Stephen Boyd1-8/+4
The description for --thin was misleading and downright wrong. Correct it with some inspiration from the description of index-pack's --fix-thin and some background information from Nicolas Pitre <nico@fluxnic.net>.

2010-01-10Documentation: spell 'git cmd' without dash throughoutLibravatar Thomas Rast1-4/+4
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 $PATH.
2008-07-05manpages: italicize git command names (which were in teletype font)Libravatar Jonathan Nieder1-4/+4
The names of git commands are not meant to be entered at the commandline; they are just names. So we render them in italics, as is usual for command names in manpages. Using doit () { perl -e 'for (<>) { s/\`(git-[^\`.]*)\`/'\''\1'\''/g; print }' } for i in git*.txt config.txt diff*.txt blame*.txt fetch*.txt i18n.txt \ merge*.txt pretty*.txt pull*.txt rev*.txt urls*.txt do doit <"$i" >"$i+" && mv "$i+" "$i" done git diff .

2008-07-01Documentation formatting and cleanupLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-4/+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 Nieder1-2/+2
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
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>

2008-01-06Documentation: rename gitlink macro to linkgitLibravatar Dan McGee1-5/+5
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]]].

2007-06-07War on whitespaceLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+0
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.

2006-11-03remove .keep pack lock files when done with refs updateLibravatar Nicolas Pitre1-0/+11
This makes both git-fetch and git-push (fetch-pack and receive-pack) safe against a possible race with aparallel git-repack -a -d that could prune the new pack while it is not yet referenced, and remove the .keep file after refs have been updated.

2006-10-29Teach git-index-pack how to keep a pack file.Libravatar Shawn Pearce1-3/+21
To prevent a race condition between `index-pack --stdin` and `repack -a -d` where the repack deletes the newly created pack file before any refs are updated to reference objects contained within it we mark the pack file as one that should be kept. This removes it from the list of packs that `repack -a -d` will consider for removal. Callers such as `receive-pack` which want to invoke `index-pack` should use this new --keep option to prevent the newly created pack and index file pair from being deleted before they have finished any related ref updates. Only after all ref updates have been finished should the associated .keep file be removed. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-10-26make index-pack able to complete thin packs.Libravatar Nicolas Pitre1-1/+13
A new flag, --fix-thin, instructs git-index-pack to append any missing objects to a thin pack to make it self contained and indexable. Of course objects missing from the pack must be present elsewhere in the local repository. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-10-25enable index-pack streaming capabilityLibravatar Nicolas Pitre1-1/+7
A new flag, --stdin, allows for a pack to be received over a stream. When this flag is provided, the pack content is written to either the named pack file or directly to the object repository under the same name as produced by git-repack. The pack index is written as well with the corresponding base name, unless the index name is overriden with -o. With this patch, git-index-pack could be used instead of git-unpack-objects when fetching remote objects but only with non "thin" packs for now.
