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.

2011-05-01git: add --info-path and --man-path optionsLibravatar Jon Seymour1-1/+9
Similar to the way the --html-path option lets UI programs learn where git has its HTML documentation pages, expose the other two paths used to store the documentation pages of these two types. Signed-off-by: Jon Seymour <jon.seymour@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2011-03-12docs: point git.txt author credits to git-scm.comLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+4
There is a nice shortlog-ish output of the authors there. We also point people directly to shortlog, but of course they might be reading the documentation online or from a binary package of git.
2011-03-11doc: drop author/documentation sections from most pagesLibravatar Jeff King1-10/+4
The point of these sections is generally to: 1. Give credit where it is due. 2. Give the reader an idea of where to ask questions or file bug reports. But they don't do a good job of either case. For (1), they are out of date and incomplete. A much more accurate answer can be gotten through shortlog or blame. For (2), the correct contact point is generally git@vger, and even if you wanted to cc the contact point, the out-of-date and incomplete fields mean you're likely sending to somebody useless. So let's drop the fields entirely from all manpages except git(1) itself. We already point people to the mailing list for bug reports there, and we can update the Authors section to give credit to the major contributors and point to shortlog and blame for more information. Each page has a "This is part of git" footer, so people can follow that to the main git manpage.

2010-07-05Documentation: link to gitrevisions rather than git-rev-parseLibravatar Michael J Gruber1-1/+1
Currently, whenever we need documentation for revisions and ranges, we link to the git-rev-parse man page, i.e. a plumbing man page, which has this along with the documentation of all rev-parse modes. Link to the new gitrevisions man page instead in all cases except - when the actual git-rev-parse command is referred to or - in very technical context (git-send-pack).

2010-04-04Rename ONE_FILESYSTEM to DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEMLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-5/+5
If a missing ONE_FILESYSTEM defaults to true, the only users who set this variable set it to false to tell git not to limit the discovery to one filesystem; there are too many negations in one sentence to make a simple panda brain dizzy. Use the variable GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM that changes the behaviour from the default "limit to one filesystem" to "cross the boundary as I ask you to"; makes the semantics much more straight forward. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2010-04-04GIT_ONE_FILESYSTEM: flip the default to stop at filesystem boundariesLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+8
Regarding the new environment variable, Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> writes on Tue, 30 Mar 2010 in <alpine.LFD.2.00.1003301537150.3707@i5.linux-foundation.org>: I suspect that it is _very_ unusual to have a source repo that crosses multiple filesystems, and the original reason for this patch-series seems to me to be likely to be more common than that multi-fs case. So having the logic go the other way would seem to match the common case, no? The "crossing filesystem boundary" condition is checked by comparing st_dev field in the result from stat(2). This is slightly worrysome if non-POSIX ports return different values in the field even for directories in the same work tree extracted to the same "filesystem". Erik Faye-Lund confirms that in the msysgit port st_dev is 0, so this should be safe, as "even Windows is safe" ;-) This will affect those who use /.git to cram /etc and /home/me in the same repostiory, /home is mounted from non-root filesystem, and a git operation is done from inside /home/me/src. But that is such a corner case we don't want to give preference over helping people who will benefit from having this default so that they do not have to suffer from slow automounters.
