2010-08-18merge-base --independent to print reduced parent list in a mergeLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-0/+9
While show-branch --independent does not support more than MAX_REVS revs, git internally supports more with a different algorithm. Expose that functionality as "git merge-base --independent". This should help scripts to catch up with builtin merge in supporting dodecapus. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2010-08-18merge-base --octopus to mimic show-branch --merge-baseLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-7/+12
While show-branch --merge-base does not support more than MAX_REVS revs, git supports more with a different algorithm (v1.6.0-rc0~51^2~13, Introduce get_octopus_merge_bases() in commit.c, 2008-06-27). Expose that functionality. This should help scripts to catch up with builtin merge in supporting dodecapus.

2010-08-18Documentation: add a SEE ALSO section for merge-baseLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-0/+6
For example, a person reading the merge-base man page might wonder about the fastest way to check if one commit is an ancestor of another (which would require rev-list). Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-08-05git-merge-base/git-show-branch --merge-base: Documentation and testLibravatar Michael J Gruber1-0/+4
Currently, the documentation suggests that 'git merge-base -a' and 'git show-branch --merge-base' are equivalent (in fact it claims that the former cannot handle more than two revs). Alas, the handling of more than two revs is very different. Document this by tests and correct the documentation to reflect this.

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 Nieder1-4/+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 McGee1-1/+1
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>
2007-06-07War 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.
