2010-02-13Builtin-ify git-notesLibravatar Johan Herland1-4/+2
The builtin-ification includes some minor behavioural changes to the command-line interface: It is no longer allowed to mix the -m and -F arguments, and it is not allowed to use multiple -F options. As part of the builtin-ification, we add the commit_notes() function to the builtin API. This function (together with the notes.h API) can be easily used from other builtins to manipulate the notes tree. Also includes needed changes to t3301.

2010-01-10Documentation: spell 'git cmd' without dash throughoutLibravatar Thomas Rast1-1/+1
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.
2009-10-19Teach "-m <msg>" and "-F <file>" to "git notes edit"Libravatar Johan Herland1-1/+15
The "-m" and "-F" options are already the established method (in both git-commit and git-tag) to specify a commit/tag message without invoking the editor. This patch teaches "git notes edit" to respect the same options for specifying a notes message without invoking the editor. Multiple "-m" and/or "-F" options are concatenated as separate paragraphs. The patch also updates the "git notes" documentation and adds selftests for the new functionality. Unfortunately, the added selftests include a couple of lines with trailing whitespace (without these the test will fail). This may cause git to warn about "whitespace errors".
