2008-08-16git-stash: improve synopsis in help and manual pageLibravatar Stephan Beyer1-3/+10
"git stash -h" showed some incomplete and ugly usage information. For example, the useful "--keep-index" option for "save" or the "--index" option for "apply" were not shown. Also in the documentation synopsis they were not shown, so that there is no incentive to scroll down and even see that such options exist. This patch improves the git-stash synopsis in the documentation by mentioning that further options to the stash commands and then copies this synopsis to the usage information string of git-stash.sh. For the latter, the dashless git command string has to be inserted on the second and the following usage lines. The code of this is taken from git-sh-setup so that all lines will show the command string. Note that the "create" command is not advertised at all now, because it was not mentioned in git-stash.txt.

* sg/stash-k-i: Documentation: tweak use case in "git stash save --keep-index" stash: introduce 'stash save --keep-index' option
2008-07-08Documentation: tweak use case in "git stash save --keep-index"Libravatar Eric Raible1-7/+8
The documentation suggests using "git stash apply" in the --keep-index workflow even though doing so will lead to clutter in the stash. And given that the changes are about to be committed anyway "git stash pop" is more sensible. Additionally the text preceeding the example claims that it works for "two or more commits", but the example itself is really tailored for just two. Expanding it just a little makes it clear how the procedure generalizes to N commits. Finally the example is annotated with some commentary to explain things on a line-by-line basis.
2008-07-05manpages: italicize git command names (which were in teletype font)Libravatar Jonathan Nieder1-3/+3
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 .

2008-07-05stash: introduce 'stash save --keep-index' optionLibravatar SZEDER Gábor1-1/+21
'git stash save' saves local modifications to a new stash, and runs 'git reset --hard' to revert them to a clean index and work tree. When the '--keep-index' option is specified, after that 'git reset --hard' the previous contents of the index is restored and the work tree is updated to match the index. This option is useful if the user wants to commit only parts of his local modifications, but wants to test those parts before committing. Also add support for the completion of the new option, and add an example use case to the documentation.

2008-07-05Implement "git stash branch <newbranch> <stash>"Libravatar Abhijit Menon-Sen1-1/+18

2008-07-01Documentation formatting and cleanupLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-6/+6
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 Nieder1-6/+6
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>

2008-01-06Documentation: rename gitlink macro to linkgitLibravatar Dan McGee1-5/+5

2007-07-01Documentation: quote {non-attributes} for asciidocLibravatar Jeff King1-4/+4
Asciidoc treats {foo} as an attribute to be substituted; if 'foo' doesn't exist as an attribute, then the entire line gets dropped. When the literal {foo} is desired, \{foo} is required. The exceptions to this rule are: - inside literal blocks - if the 'foo' contains non-alphanumeric characters (e.g., {foo|bar} is assumed not to be an attribute) Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
