2013-10-31doc/pull: clarify the illustrationsLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+3
The second illustration that shows the history after "git pull" spelled the remote-tracking branch with "remotes/" prefix, which is not necessary. Drop it. To match the assumption that a remote-tracking branch is used to keep track of the advancement of the master at the origin, update the first illustration that shows the history before "git pull" to show the distinction between the master currently at origin and the stale origin/master remote-tracking branch.

2013-09-04pull: allow pull to preserve merges when rebasingLibravatar Stephen Haberman1-6/+12
If a user is working on master, and has merged in their feature branch, but now has to "git pull" because master moved, with pull.rebase their feature branch will be flattened into master. This is because "git pull" currently does not know about rebase's preserve merges flag, which would avoid this behavior, as it would instead replay just the merge commit of the feature branch onto the new master, and not replay each individual commit in the feature branch. Add a --rebase=preserve option, which will pass along --preserve-merges to rebase. Also add 'preserve' to the allowed values for the pull.rebase config setting.

2012-08-17man: git pull -r is a short for --rebaseLibravatar Miklos Vajna1-0/+1
Letting the "--rebase" option squat on the short-and-sweet single letter option "-r" was an unintended accident and was not even documented, but the short option seems to be already used in the wild.

2012-04-26docs: stop using asciidoc no-inline-literalLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
In asciidoc 7, backticks like `foo` produced a typographic effect, but did not otherwise affect the syntax. In asciidoc 8, backticks introduce an "inline literal" inside which markup is not interpreted. To keep compatibility with existing documents, asciidoc 8 has a "no-inline-literal" attribute to keep the old behavior. We enabled this so that the documentation could be built on either version. It has been several years now, and asciidoc 7 is no longer in wide use. We can now decide whether or not we want inline literals on their own merits, which are: 1. The source is much easier to read when the literal contains punctuation. You can use `master~1` instead of `master{tilde}1`. 2. They are less error-prone. Because of point (1), we tend to make mistakes and forget the extra layer of quoting. This patch removes the no-inline-literal attribute from the Makefile and converts every use of backticks in the documentation to an inline literal (they must be cleaned up, or the example above would literally show "{tilde}" in the output). Problematic sites were found by grepping for '`.*[{\\]' and examined and fixed manually. The results were then verified by comparing the output of "html2text" on the set of generated html pages. Doing so revealed that in addition to making the source more readable, this patch fixes several formatting bugs: - HTML rendering used the ellipsis character instead of literal "..." in code examples (like "git log A...B") - some code examples used the right-arrow character instead of '->' because they failed to quote - api-config.txt did not quote tilde, and the resulting HTML contained a bogus snippet like: <tt><sub></tt> foo <tt></sub>bar</tt> which caused some parsers to choke and omit whole sections of the page. - git-commit.txt confused ``foo`` (backticks inside a literal) with ``foo'' (matched double-quotes) - mentions of `A U Thor <author@example.com>` used to erroneously auto-generate a mailto footnote for author@example.com - the description of --word-diff=plain incorrectly showed the output as "[-removed-] and {added}", not "{+added+}". - using "prime" notation like: commit `C` and its replacement `C'` confused asciidoc into thinking that everything between the first backtick and the final apostrophe were meant to be inside matched quotes - asciidoc got confused by the escaping of some of our asterisks. In particular, `credential.\*` and `credential.<url>.\*` properly escaped the asterisk in the first case, but literally passed through the backslash in the second case.

2011-11-07pull: introduce a pull.rebase option to enable --rebaseLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-1/+1
Currently we either need to set branch.<name>.rebase for existing branches if we'd like "git pull" to mean "git pull --rebase", or have the forethought of setting "branch.autosetuprebase" before we create the branch. Introduce a "pull.rebase" option to globally configure "git pull" to mean "git pull --rebase" for any branch. This option will be considered at a lower priority than branch.<name>.rebase, i.e. we could set pull.rebase=true and branch.<name>.rebase=false and the latter configuration option would win.

2011-07-06Documentation: use [verse] for SYNOPSIS sectionsLibravatar Martin von Zweigbergk1-0/+1
The SYNOPSIS sections of most commands that span several lines already use [verse] to retain line breaks. Most commands that don't span several lines seem not to use [verse]. In the HTML output, [verse] does not only preserve line breaks, but also makes the section indented, which causes a slight inconsistency between commands that use [verse] and those that don't. Use [verse] in all SYNOPSIS sections for consistency. Also remove the blank lines from git-fetch.txt and git-rebase.txt to align with the other man pages. In the case of git-rebase.txt, which already uses [verse], the blank line makes the [verse] not apply to the last line, so removing the blank line also makes the formatting within the document more consistent. While at it, add single quotes to 'git cvsimport' for consistency with other commands.

2011-03-11doc: drop author/documentation sections from most pagesLibravatar Jeff King1-12/+0
The point of these sections is generally to: 1. Give credit where it is due. 2. Give the reader an idea of where to ask questions or file bug reports. But they don't do a good job of either case. For (1), they are out of date and incomplete. A much more accurate answer can be gotten through shortlog or blame. For (2), the correct contact point is generally git@vger, and even if you wanted to cc the contact point, the out-of-date and incomplete fields mean you're likely sending to somebody useless. So let's drop the fields entirely from all manpages except git(1) itself. We already point people to the mailing list for bug reports there, and we can update the Authors section to give credit to the major contributors and point to shortlog and blame for more information. Each page has a "This is part of git" footer, so people can follow that to the main git manpage.

2010-08-02Documentation: flesh out “git pull” descriptionLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-11/+54
The current description in the pull man page does not say much more than that “git pull” is fetch + merge. Though that is all a person needs to know in the end, it would be useful to summarize a bit about what those commands do for new readers. Most of this description is taken from the “git merge” docs. Now that we explain how to back out of a failed merge (reset --merge), we can tone down the warning against that a bit. Except, as Thomas noticed, there’s a risk with that because people might read this version of the manpage online and then conclude that it is safe to try a merge with uncommitted changes, only to find that their “git reset” doesn't support --merge yet. Or worse, verify that their git-reset has --merge by a quick test (1b5b465 is in 1.6.2) but then find that it does not help with backing out of a merge (e11d7b5 is only in 1.7.0!). So keep the warning. With clarifications from Ævar, Thomas, and Junio.

2010-01-10Documentation: spell 'git cmd' without dash throughoutLibravatar Thomas Rast1-6/+6
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.

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.

2007-11-28Teach 'git pull' about --rebaseLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+10
When calling 'git pull' with the '--rebase' option, it performs a fetch + rebase instead of a fetch + merge. This behavior is more desirable than fetch + pull when a topic branch is ready to be submitted and needs to be update. fetch + rebase might also be considered a better workflow with shared repositories in any case, or for contributors to a centrally managed repository, such as WINE's. As a convenience, you can set the default behavior for a branch by defining the config variable branch.<name>.rebase, which is interpreted as a bool. This setting can be overridden on the command line by --rebase and --no-rebase. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
