2007-07-05Add urls.txt to git-clone man pageLibravatar Andrew Ruder1-1/+1
Since git-clone is one of the many commands taking URLs to remote repositories as an argument, it should include the URL-types list from urls.txt. Split up urls.txt into urls.txt and urls-remotes.txt. The latter should be used by anything besides git-clone where a discussion of using .git/config and .git/remotes/ to name URLs just doesn't make as much sense.

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.

2007-01-18Documentation: sync git.txt command list and manual page titleLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
Also reorders a handful entries to make each list sorted alphabetically. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2007-01-14some doc updatesLibravatar Nicolas Pitre1-1/+2
1) talk about "git merge" instead of "git pull ." 2) suggest "git repo-config" instead of directly editing config files 3) echo "URL: blah" > .git/remotes/foo is obsolete and should be "git repo-config remote.foo.url blah" 4) support for partial URL prefix has been removed (see commit ea560e6d64374ec1f6c163c276319a3da21a1345) so drop mention of it.

2007-01-01Documentation: update git-pull.txt for new clone behaviorLibravatar J. Bruce Fields1-44/+25
Update examples, stop using branch named "origin" as an example. Remove large example of use of remotes; that particular case is nicely automated by default, so it's not so pressing to explain, and we can refer to git-repo-config for the details.

2006-02-06Docs: move git url and remotes text to separate sectionsLibravatar J. Bruce Fields1-1/+2
The sections on git urls and remotes files in the git-fetch, git-pull, and git-push manpages seem long enough to be worth a manpage section of their own. Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-12-16Examples of resetting.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+5
Morten Welinder says examples of resetting is really about recovering from botched commit/pulls. I agree that pointers from commands that cause a reset to be needed in the first place would be very helpful. Also reset examples did not mention "pull/merge" cases.

2005-11-06Refactored merge options into separate merge-options.txt.Libravatar Jon Loeliger1-10/+7
Refactored fetch options into separate fetch-options.txt. Made git-merge use merge-options. Made git-fetch use fetch-options. Made git-pull use merge-options and fetch-options. Added --help option to git-pull and git-format-patch scripts. Rewrote Documentation/Makefile to dynamically determine include dependencies.

2005-11-05Documentation: git-fetch/pull updates.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+5
We do not accept multiple <refspecs> on one Pull:/Push: line right now (we could lift this tentative workaround for the broken refnames), but we have always accepted multiple such lines, so use that form in the examples and discussion. Also explicitly mention that Octopus is made only with an explicit command line request and never from Pull: lines. Add a couple of cross references. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-11-04Added a few examples to git-pull man page.Libravatar Jon Loeliger1-9/+54
Clarified and added notes for pull/push refspecs. Converted to back-ticks for literal text examples. [jc: Also fixed git-pull description that still talked about its calling git-resolve or git-octopus (we do not anymore; instead we just call git-merge). BTW, I am reasonably impressed by how well "git-am -3" applied this patch, which had some conflicts because I've updated the documentation somewhat.] Signed-off-by: Jon Loeliger <jdl@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2005-11-01Document the use of "current directory" as pull source.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+3
The repository to pull from can be a local repository, and as a special case the current directory can be specified to perform merges across local branches. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-10-19git-fetch/push/pull: documentation.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+4
The documentation was lazily sharing the argument description across these commands. Lazy may be a way of life, but that does not justify confusing others ;-). Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2005-09-07Big tool rename.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+41
As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch. The primary differences since 0.99.6 are: (1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if something is implemented as a shell script or not. (2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with 'index' if that is what they mean. There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward compatibility support is expected to be removed in the near future.
