2008-06-08Docs: Use "-l::\n--long\n" format in OPTIONS sectionsLibravatar Stephan Beyer1-1/+2
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 Couder1-2/+2
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>
2008-06-06documentation: convert "diffcore" and "repository-layout" to man pagesLibravatar Christian Couder1-1/+2
This patch renames the following documents and at the same time converts them to the man format: diffcore.txt -> gitdiffcore.txt (man section 7) repository-layout.txt -> gitrepository-layout.txt (man section 5) Other documents that reference the above ones are changed accordingly.

2008-06-01Documentation: convert "glossary" and "core-tutorial" to man pagesLibravatar Christian Couder1-3/+10
This patch renames the following documents and at the same time converts them to the man format: core-tutorial.txt -> gitcore-tutorial.txt glossary.txt -> gitglossary.txt But as the glossary is included in the user manual and as the new gitglossary man page cannot be included as a whole in the user manual, the actual glossary content is now in its own "glossary-content.txt" new file. And this file is included by both the user manual and the gitglossary man page. Other documents that reference the above ones are changed accordingly and sometimes improved a little too.

2007-09-15documentation: replace Discussion section by link to user-manual chapterLibravatar J. Bruce Fields1-4/+53
The "Discussion" section has a lot of useful information, but is a little wordy, especially for an already-long man page, and is designed for an audience more of potential git hackers than users, which probably doesn't make as much sense as git matures. Also, I (perhaps foolishly) forked a version in the user manual, which has been significantly rewritten in an attempt to address some of the above problems. So, remove this section and replace it by a (very terse) summary of the original material--my attempt at the World's Shortest Git Overview--and a reference to the appropriate chapter of the user manual. It's unfortunate to remove something that's been in this place for a long time, as some people may still depend on finding it there. But I think we'll want to do this some day anyway.

2007-09-03GIT 1.5.3.1: obsolete git-p4 in RPM spec file.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+4
HPA noticed that yum does not like the newer git RPM set; it turns out that we do not ship git-p4 anymore but existing installations do not realize the package is gone if we do not tell anything about it. David Kastrup suggests using Obsoletes in the spec file of the new RPM to replace the old package, so here is a try. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2007-08-27git --bare cmd: do not unconditionally nuke GIT_DIRLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+4
"GIT_DIR=some.where git --bare cmd" and worse yet "git --git-dir=some.where --bare cmd" were very confusing. They both ignored git-dir specified, and instead made $cwd as GIT_DIR. This changes --bare not to override existing GIT_DIR. This has been like this for a long time. Let's hope nobody sane relied on this insane behaviour.

The GIT_SSH environment variable has survived for quite a while without being documented, but has been mentioned on list and on my day-job repositories can only be accessed via magic supplied through the wonderous hack that is GIT_SSH. Advertising it alongside other "low level magic" such as GIT_PAGER and GIT_MERGE_VERBOSITY will certainly help others who need to spread their own pixie dust to make things work.

Also describe GIT_MERGE_VERBOSITY environment. The configuration variable merge.verbosity and environment variable GIT_MERGE_VERBOSITY were introduced in commit 8c3275ab, which also documented configuration variable but not environment variable.

2007-06-30Don't fflush(stdout) when it's not helpfulLibravatar Theodore Ts'o1-0/+10
This patch arose from a discussion started by Jim Meyering's patch whose intention was to provide better diagnostics for failed writes. Linus proposed a better way to do things, which also had the added benefit that adding a fflush() to git-log-* operations and incremental git-blame operations could improve interactive respose time feel, at the cost of making things a bit slower when we aren't piping the output to a downstream program. This patch skips the fflush() calls when stdout is a regular file, or if the environment variable GIT_FLUSH is set to "0". This latter can speed up a command such as: GIT_FLUSH=0 strace -c -f -e write time git-rev-list HEAD | wc -l a tiny amount.
