2010-08-20Documentation: remove backslashes in manpage synopsesLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-3/+3
For some reason, various manual pages have an asterisk escaped with \ in the synopsis. Since there is no other asterisk to pair it with, Asciidoc does not consider this asterisk escapable, so it passes the backslash through. Each page either uses [verse] or has only one asterisk, so it is safe to drop the backslashes (checked with asciidoc 8.5.2).

2010-07-28Document ls-files -t as semi-obsolete.Libravatar Matthieu Moy1-2/+10
The behavior of "git ls-files -t" is very misleading (see http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/126516 and http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/144394/focus=144397 for examples of mislead users) and badly documented, hence we point the users to superior alternatives. The feature is marked as "semi-obsolete" but not "scheduled for removal" since it's a plumbing command, scripts might use it, and Git testsuite already uses it to test the state of the index.

2010-01-10Documentation: show-files is now called git-ls-filesLibravatar Thomas Rast1-1/+1
Amazingly, a reference to 'show files' survived from the core command documentation introduced in c64b9b8 (Reference documentation for the core git commands., 2005-05-05)! However, the tool is now called git-ls-files. Signed-off-by: Thomas Rast <trast@student.ethz.ch>
2010-01-10Documentation: spell 'git cmd' without dash throughoutLibravatar Thomas Rast1-3/+3
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.

2009-10-30ls-files: unbreak "ls-files -i"Libravatar Jeff King1-2/+4
Commit b5227d8 changed the behavior of "ls-files" with respect to includes, but accidentally broke the "-i" option The original behavior was: 1. if no "-i" is given, cull all results according to --exclude* 2. if "-i" is given, show the inverse of (1) The broken behavior was: 1. if no "-i" is given: a. for "-o", cull results according to --exclude* b. for index files, always show all 2. if "-i" is given: a. for "-o", shows the inverse of (1a) b. for index files, always show all The fixed behavior keeps the new (1b) behavior introduced by b5227d8, but fixes the (2b) behavior to show only ignored files, not all files. This patch also tweaks the documentation. The original text was somewhat obscure in the first place, but it is also now inaccurate (the relationship between (1b) and (2b) is not quite a "reverse").

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/+20
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.

2007-06-02Create a new manpage for the gitignore format, and reference it elsewhereLibravatar Josh Triplett1-85/+14
Only git-ls-files(1) describes the gitignore format in detail, and it does so with reference to git-ls-files options. Most users don't use the plumbing command git-ls-files directly, and shouldn't have to look in its manpage for information on the gitignore format. Create a new manpage gitignore(5) (Documentation/gitignore.txt), and factor out the gitignore documentation into that file, changing it to refer to .gitignore and $GIT_DIR/info/exclude as used by porcelain commands. Reference gitignore(5) from other relevant manpages and documentation. Remove now-redundant information on exclude patterns from git-ls-files(1), leaving only information on how git-ls-files options specify exclude patterns and what precedence they have.

* master: Optionally do not list empty directories in git-ls-files --others Document git-rebase behavior on conflicts. Fix error handling for nonexistent names
2006-03-26Optionally do not list empty directories in git-ls-files --othersLibravatar Petr Baudis1-0/+3
Without the --directory flag, git-ls-files wouldn't ever list directories, producing no output for empty directories, which is good since they cannot be added and they bear no content, even untracked one (if Git ever starts tracking directories on their own, this should obviously change since the content notion will change). With the --directory flag however, git-ls-files would list even empty directories. This may be good in some situations but sometimes you want to prevent that. This patch adds a --no-empty-directory option which makes git-ls-files omit empty directories. Signed-off-by: Petr Baudis <pasky@suse.cz>
