2011-06-23git.txt: de-emphasize the implementation detail of a refLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+3
It is an unimportant implementation detail that branches and tags are stored somewhere under $GIT_DIR/refs directory, or the name of the commit that will become the parent of the next commit is stored in $GIT_DIR/HEAD. What is more important is that branches live in refs/heads and tags live in refs/tags hierarchy in the ref namespace, and HEAD means the tip of the current branch.

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 For (1), they are out of date and incomplete.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.
