2010-01-10Documentation: spell 'git cmd' without dash throughoutLibravatar Thomas Rast1-2/+2
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.

2009-07-29mailinfo: -b option keeps [bracketed] strings that is not a [PATCH] markerLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+6
By default, we remove leading [bracketed] [strings] from the Subject: header when coming up with the summary of the patch. This is because there are mailing lists etc that add their own headers to the subject, and they know they can add things in brackets. The most obvious example is the Linux kernel security list. Their emails look like Subject: [Security] [patch] random: make get_random_int() more random and other people mangle Subject: themselves in a similar way, e.g.: Subject: [PATCH -rc] [BUGFIX] x86: fix kernel_trap_sp() Subject: [BUGFIX][PATCH] fix bad page removal from LRU (Was Re: [RFC][PATCH] .. even though "fix" is more than enough cue to mark it as a [BUGFIX]. Some projects however want to keep these bracketed strings. With this option, we remove only [bracketed strings that contain word PATCH], so we will turn things like these [PATCH] [mailinfo] -b ... [PATCH v2] [mailinfo] -b ... [PATCH (v2) 1/4] [mailinfo] -b ... into [mailinfo] -b ... This lacks tests and integration to the "git am" toolchain to be useful, but it is a start.

2008-07-05manpages: italicize git command names (which were in teletype font)Libravatar Jonathan Nieder1-2/+2
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 Nieder1-2/+2
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>
2008-07-01Documentation: prepare to be consistent about "git-" versus "git "Libravatar Jonathan Nieder1-2/+2
With the dashed forms of git commands not in $(bindir), we have to change many instances of "git-command" to "git command". Also, for consistency it is at times appropriate to make the opposite change. In some cases, the change is not so simple as changing one character. This patch gets rid of some of those cases by rewrapping lines. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@uchicago.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

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.

2007-05-14Documentation: format-patch has no --mbox optionLibravatar Frank Lichtenheld1-1/+1
git-applymbox and git-mailinfo refer to a --mbox option of git-format-patch when talking about their -k options. But there is no such option. What -k does to the former two commands is to keep the Subject: lines unmunged, meant to be used on output generated with format-patch -k.

Specifying the value for a single letter, single dash option parameter with equal sign looked funny, and more importantly calling the flag to override encoding from utf-8 to something else "-u" (obviously abbreviated from "utf-8") did not make any sense.
