2013-01-11Merge branch 'jn/warn-on-inaccessible-loosen' into maintLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+8
When attempting to read the XDG-style $HOME/.config/git/config and finding that $HOME/.config/git is a file, we gave a wrong error message, instead of treating the case as "a custom config file does not exist there" and moving on. * jn/warn-on-inaccessible-loosen: config: exit on error accessing any config file doc: advertise GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM config: treat user and xdg config permission problems as errors config, gitignore: failure to access with ENOTDIR is ok

2012-12-27git(1): show link to contributor summary pageLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+4
We earlier removed a link to list of contributors that pointed to a defunct page; let's use a working one from Ohloh.net to replace it instead. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-12-13git.txt: add missing info about --git-dir command-line optionLibravatar Manlio Perillo1-0/+1
Unlike other environment variables (e.g. GIT_WORK_TREE, GIT_NAMESPACE), the Documentation/git.txt file did not mention that the GIT_DIR environment variable can also be set using the --git-dir command line option.

2012-10-14doc: advertise GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEMLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-0/+8
On a multiuser system where mortals do not have write access to /etc, the GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM variable is the best tool we have to keep getting work done when a syntax error or other problem renders /etc/gitconfig buggy, until the sysadmin sorts the problem out. Noticed while experimenting with teaching git to error out when /etc/gitconfig is unreadable.

The second paragraph in the git(1) description section were meant to guide people who are not ready to dive into this page away from here. Referring migrating CVS users to another page before they get acquainted with Git was somewhat out of place. Move the reference to the "FURTHER DOCUMENTATION" section and push that section down.

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.
