2007-05-07user-manual: stop deprecating the manualLibravatar J. Bruce Fields1-4/+3
It's just as much a work-in-progress, but at least now it's gotten enough technical review to shake out most of the really bad lies, so hopefully it doesn't do any actual damage. And if we encourage people to read it, they'll be more likely to whine about it, which will help get it fixed faster. Signed-off-by: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@citi.umich.edu>

2007-01-19Documentation/git.txt: command re-classificationLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+34
This adds two new classes (pure-helpers and "Interacting with Others") to the command list in the main manual page. The latter class is primarily about foreign SCM interface and is placed before low-level (plumbing) commands. Also it promotes a handful commands to mainporcelain category while demoting some others.

2007-01-18Documentation: move command list in git.txt into separate files.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-387/+6
Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2007-01-17sanitize content of README fileLibravatar Nicolas Pitre1-1/+1
Current README content is way too esoteric for someone looking at GIT for the first time. Instead it should provide a quick summary of what GIT is with a few pointers to other resources. The bulk of the previous README content is moved to Documentation/core-intro.txt. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2007-01-12use 'init' instead of 'init-db' for shipped docs and toolsLibravatar Nicolas Pitre1-2/+1
While 'init-db' still is and probably will always remain a valid git command for obvious backward compatibility reasons, it would be a good idea to move shipped tools and docs to using 'init' instead. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2007-01-07"init-db" can really be just "init"Libravatar Nicolas Pitre1-0/+1
Make "init" the equivalent of "init-db". This should make first GIT impression a little more friendly. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-12-27Create 'git gc' to perform common maintenance operations.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+3
Junio asked for a 'git gc' utility which users can execute on a regular basis to perform basic repository actions such as: * pack-refs --prune * reflog expire * repack -a -d * prune * rerere gc So here is a command which does exactly that. The parameters fed to reflog's expire subcommand can be chosen by the user by setting configuration options in .git/config (or ~/.gitconfig), as users may want different expiration windows for each repository but shouldn't be bothered to remember what they are all of the time.

2006-11-27Update documentation to remove incorrect GIT_DIFF_OPTS example.Libravatar Sean1-4/+28
Git no longer calls an external diff program to generate patches. Remove the documentation which suggests that you can pass arbitrary diff options via the GIT_DIFF_OPTS environment variable. Signed-off-by: Sean Estabrooks <seanlkml@sympatico.ca> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-11-08git-pickaxe: retire pickaxeLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+0
Just make it take over blame's place. Documentation and command have all stopped mentioning "git-pickaxe". The built-in synonym is left in the command table, so you can still say "git pickaxe", but it probably is a good idea to retire it as well. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

Two asterisks the SYNOPSIS section were mistaken as emphasis, and the latter backtick in "`<key>`s" were not recognized as closing backtick. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-10-25Refer to git-rev-parse:Specifying Revisions from git.txtLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+3

2006-10-19git-pickaxe: blame rewritten.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+3
Currently it does what git-blame does, but only faster. More importantly, its internal structure is designed to support content movement (aka cut-and-paste) more easily by allowing more than one paths to be taken from the same commit. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-09-24Remove upload-tar and make git-tar-tree a thin wrapper to git-archiveLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+0
The command now issues a big deprecation warning message and runs git-archive command with appropriate arguments. git-tar-tree $tree_ish $base always forces $base to be the leading directory name, so the --prefix parameter passed internally to git-archive is a slash appended to it, i.e. "--prefix=$base/".
