2005-12-13Documentation: not learning core git commands.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-21/+30
The initial section of tutorial was too heavy on internal workings for the first-time readers, so rewrite the introductory section of git(7) to start with "not learning core git commands" section and refer them to README to grasp the basic concepts, then Everyday to give overview with task/role oriented examples for minimum set of commands, and finally the tutorial. Also add to existing note in the tutorial that many too technical descriptions can be skipped by a casual reader. I initially started to review the tutorial, with the objective of ripping out the detailed technical information altogether, but I found that the level of details in the initial couple of sections that talk about refs and the object database in a hands-on fashion was about rigth, and left all of them there. I feel that reading about fsck-index and repack is too abstract without being aware of these directories and files. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2005-11-15git --help COMMAND brings up the git-COMMAND man-page.Libravatar Andreas Ericsson1-0/+2
It's by design a bit stupid (matching ^git rather than ^git-), so as to work with 'gitk' and 'git' as well. Signed-off-by: Andreas Ericsson <ae@op5.se> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-11-15Update git(7) man-page for the C wrapper.Libravatar Andreas Ericsson1-7/+28
The program 'git' now has --exec-path which needs explaining. Renamed old "DESCRIPTION" to "CORE GIT COMMANDS" to make room for "OPTIONS" while following follow some sort of convention. Also updated AUTHORS section to pat my own back a bit. Signed-off-by: Andreas Ericsson <ae@op5.se> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2005-11-13Rename lost+found to lost-found.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
Because we use "lost-found" as the directory name to hold dangling object names, it is confusing to call the command git-lost+found, although it makes sense and is even cute ;-). Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-11-11git-lost+foundLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+3

2005-11-11Change 'cache' to 'index' in the docsLibravatar Lukas_Sandström1-9/+9
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>
2005-11-01Remove 'Previously this command was known as ...' messages.Libravatar Jon Loeliger1-44/+0
For a 1.0 release, there is no need to maintain the historical "Previously this command was known as..." information on the doc splash page. It is noise; command names should stand on their own now. Signed-off-by: Jon Loeliger <jdl@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2005-09-22Retire diff-helper.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+0
The textual diff generation with built-in '-p' in diff-* brothers has proven to be useful enough that git-diff-helper outlived its usefulness. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-09-22Retire rev-tree.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+0
Some old scripts might still use git-rev-tree, but it really is clearly inferior in every way to git-rev-list that such scripts should be fixed anyway. Fixing them should be pretty easy. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-09-22Retire git-export.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+0
git-export was done as a concept example on how easy it is to export the git data to something else. It's much less powerful than any number of trivial one-liner scripts now, and real exporters would not ever use git-export. It's obviously much less powerful than "git-whatchanged", or just about any combination of git-rev-list + git-diff-tree. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2005-09-07Big tool rename.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-51/+95
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.

Often I find myself wanting to do quick branches check when I am not in the windowing environment and cannot run gitk. This stupid script shows commits leading to the heads of interesting branches with indication which ones belong to which branches, so that fork point is somewhat discernible without using gitk.
