2006-05-01read-tree: --prefix=<path>/ option.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+10
With "--prefix=<path>/" option, read-tree keeps the current index contents, and reads the contents of named tree-ish under directory at `<prefix>`. The original index file cannot have anything at the path `<prefix>` itself, and have nothing in `<prefix>/` directory. This can be used to graft an independent tree into a subdirectory of the current index. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2005-12-05Documentaiton (read-tree): update description of 3-wayLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-12/+31
The merge-one-file used to leave the working tree intact, but it has long been changed to leave the merge result there since 2a68a8659f7dc55fd285d235ae2d19e7a8116c30 commit. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2005-11-15Documentation: do not blindly run 'cat' .git/HEAD, or echo into it.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
Many places in the documentation we still talked about reading what commit is recorded in .git/HEAD or writing the new head information into it, both assuming .git/HEAD is a symlink. That is not necessarily so. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-11-14Document a couple of missing command-line options.Libravatar Nikolai Weibull1-0/+4
This patch adds documentation to quite a few command-line options. Signed-off-by: Nikolai Weibull <nikolai@bitwi.se> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-11-11Change 'cache' to 'index' in the docsLibravatar Lukas_Sandström1-10/+10
This patch makes the documentation refer to the index as index instead of cache, but some references still remain. (e.g. git-update-index.txt) Signed-off-by: Lukas Sandström <lukass@etek.chalmers.se> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2005-10-03[PATCH] Random documentation fixesLibravatar Jonas Fonseca1-2/+2
The fixes focuses on improving the HTML output. Most noteworthy: - Fix the Makefile to also make various *.html files depend on included files. - Consistently use 'NOTE: ...' instead of '[ ... ]' for additional info. - Fix ending '::' for description lists in OPTION section etc. - Fix paragraphs in description lists ending up as preformated text. - Always use listingblocks (preformatted text wrapped in lines with -----) for examples that span empty lines, so they are put in only one HTML block. - Use '1.' instead of '(1)' for numbered lists. - Fix linking to other GIT docs. - git-rev-list.txt: put option descriptions in an OPTION section.

2005-09-20Document -i flag to git-read-treeLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+11
Somehow I missed it when we updated read-tree to support the recursive merge strategy. Also -i should require -m as well, which the command did not check. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-09-20[PATCH] Documentation: Update all files to use the new gitlink: macroLibravatar Sergey Vlasov1-2/+2
The replacement was performed automatically by these commands: perl -pi -e 's/link:(git.+)\.html\[\1\]/gitlink:$1\[1\]/g' \ README Documentation/*.txt perl -pi -e 's/link:git\.html\[git\]/gitlink:git\[7\]/g' \ README Documentation/*.txt Signed-off-by: Sergey Vlasov <vsu@altlinux.ru> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-09-07Big tool rename.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-12/+12
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.

2005-08-05[PATCH] Assorted documentation patchesLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-4/+4
[jc: Johannes spent time and effort to see how consistent our use of terminilogy is, and as a byproduct made these corrections not related to the terminology unification. I really appreciate it.] Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <Johannes.Schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-06-07[PATCH] read-tree: update documentation for 3-way merge.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-24/+66
This explains the new merge world order that formally assigns specific meaning to each of three tree-ish command line arguments. It also mentions -u option Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-06-07[PATCH] read-tree: save more user hassles during fast-forward.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+74
This implements the "never lose the current cache information or the work tree state, but favor a successful merge over merge failure" principle in the fast-forward two-tree merge operation. It comes with a set of tests to cover all the cases described in the case matrix found in the new documentation.
