2010-05-04shortlog: Document and test --format optionLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-0/+8
Do not document the --pretty synonym, since it takes too long to explain the name to people. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2010-05-04Documentation/shortlog: scripted users should not rely on implicit HEADLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-1/+6
When passed no revision arguments, ‘git shortlog’ reads a log from stdin if and only if stdin is not a tty. So scripts that need to function identically when standard input is a terminal (as when run interactively) and not (as when run through a cron job) should either supply a log themselves or specify the desired revisions explicitly.

2010-01-10Documentation: emphasise 'git shortlog' in its synopsisLibravatar Thomas Rast1-1/+1
The accepted style in the SYNOPSIS section is for a command to be 'emphasised'. Do so for the git-shortlog(1) manpage. Signed-off-by: Thomas Rast <trast@student.ethz.ch>
2010-01-10Documentation: spell 'git cmd' without dash throughoutLibravatar Thomas Rast1-2/+2
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.
2009-02-08Move mailmap documentation into separate fileLibravatar Marius Storm-Olsen1-80/+9
Include it directly from git-shortlog.txt, and refer to it from pretty-format.txt. Signed-off-by: Marius Storm-Olsen <marius@trolltech.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-02-08Add map_user() and clear_mailmap() to mailmapLibravatar Marius Storm-Olsen1-23/+64
map_user() allows to lookup and replace both email and name of a user, based on a new style mailmap file. The possible mailmap definitions are now: proper_name <commit_email> # Old style <proper_email> <commit_email> # New style proper_name <proper_email> <commit_email> # New style proper_name <proper_email> commit_name <commit_email> # New style map_email() operates the same as before, with the exception that it also will to try to match on a name passed in through the name return buffer. clear_mailmap() is needed to now clear the more complex mailmap structure.

2009-02-08Add mailmap.file as configurational option for mailmap locationLibravatar Marius Storm-Olsen1-1/+2
This allows us to augment the repo mailmap file, and to use mailmap files elsewhere than the repository root. Meaning that the entries in mailmap.file will override the entries in "./.mailmap", should they match.

2009-01-30git-shortlog.txt: fix example about .mailmapLibravatar Michele Ballabio1-1/+1
In the example, Joe Developer has <joe@example.com> as his email, but in the .mailmap is <joe@random.com>. Use example.com instead. Signed-off-by: Michele Ballabio <barra_cuda@katamail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-12-27git-shortlog.txt: improve documentation about .mailmap filesLibravatar Adeodato Simó1-7/+33
The description on .mailmap made it seem like they are only useful for commits with a wrong address for an author, but they are about fixing the real name. Explain this better in the text, and replace the existing example with a new one that hopefully makes things clearer.

2008-07-05manpages: italicize git command names (which were in teletype font)Libravatar Jonathan Nieder1-1/+1
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 .

2008-07-05Documentation: more "git-" versus "git " changesLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-1/+1
With git-commands moving out of $(bindir), it is useful to make a clearer distinction between the git subcommand 'git-whatever' and the command you type, `git whatever <options>`. So we use a dash after "git" when referring to the former and not the latter. I already sent a patch doing this same thing, but I missed some spots.

2008-07-01Documentation formatting and cleanupLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-1/+1
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 Nieder1-3/+3
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>
2008-06-08Docs: Use "-l::\n--long\n" format in OPTIONS sectionsLibravatar Stephan Beyer1-4/+8
The OPTIONS section of a documentation file contains a list of the options a git command accepts. Currently there are several variants to describe the case that different options (almost) do the same in the OPTIONS section. Some are: -f, --foo:: -f|--foo:: -f | --foo:: But AsciiDoc has the special form: -f:: --foo:: This patch applies this form to the documentation of the whole git suite, and removes useless em-dash prevention, so \--foo becomes --foo.

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>
2007-12-23shortlog manpage documentation: work around asciidoc markup issuesLibravatar Gustaf Hendeby1-9/+10
We wanted to have a list in which one (and the sole, as it happen to be) item in it is ".mailmap", but do not seem to be able to convince AsciiDoc to format it correctly for manpages. Reformat it into a paragraph that describes the said file to work around the issue.

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.

2007-04-18git-shortlog: Fix two formatting errors in asciidoc documentationLibravatar Frank Lichtenheld1-1/+3
First use [verse] in the SYNOPSIS so that the line break actually shows. Secondly drop the quotes around '.mailmap' since this exposes a bug in our toolchain (didn't bother enough yet to find out wether it is asciidoc's fault or that of the XSL templates) that leads to the dot not getting escaped correctly in the roff output and thereby swallowing the line.

2006-10-09add commit count options to git-shortlogLibravatar Nicolas Pitre1-2/+15
This patch does 3 things: 1) Output the number of commits along with the name for each author (nice to know for long lists spending more than a screen worth of commit lines). 2) Provide a switch (-n) to sort authors according to their number of commits instead of author alphabetic order. 3) Provide a switch (-s) to supress commit lines and only keep a summary of authors and the number of commits for each of them. And for good measure a short usage is displayed with -h. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
