2012-03-26Documentation: improve description of GIT_EDITOR and preference orderLibravatar Rodrigo Silva (MestreLion)1-0/+6
Previously GIT_EDITOR was not listed in git(1) "Environment Variables" section, which could be very confusing to users. Include it in "other" subsection along with a link to git-var(1), since that is the page that fully describes all places where editor can be set and also their preference order. Also, git-var(1) did not say that hardcoded fallback 'vi' may have been changed at build time. A user could be puzzled if 'nano' pops up even when none of the mentioned environment vars or config.editor are set. Clarify this. Ideally, the build system should be changed to reflect the chosen fallback editor when creating the man pages. Not sure if that is even possible though.

2011-06-23git.txt: de-emphasize the implementation detail of a refLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+3
It is an unimportant implementation detail that branches and tags are stored somewhere under $GIT_DIR/refs directory, or the name of the commit that will become the parent of the next commit is stored in $GIT_DIR/HEAD. What is more important is that branches live in refs/heads and tags live in refs/tags hierarchy in the ref namespace, and HEAD means the tip of the current branch.

2011-05-02Documentation: clarify meaning of --html-path, --man-path, and --info-pathLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-6/+6
These options tell UI programs where git put its documentation, so "Help" actions can show the documentation for *this* version of git without regard to how MANPATH and INFOPATH are set up. Details: . Each variable tells where documentation is expected to be. They do not indicate whether documentation was actually installed. . The output of "git --html-path" is an absolute path and can be used in "file://$(git --html-path)/git-add.html" to name the HTML file documenting a particular command. . --man-path names a manual page hierarchy (e.g., /home/user/share/man). Its output can be passed to "man -M" or put at the beginning of $MANPATH. . --info-path names a directory with info files (e.g., /home/user/share/info). Its output is suitable as an argument to "info -d" or for inclusion in $INFOPATH.
