2016-06-28doc: typeset long command-line options as literalLibravatar Matthieu Moy1-1/+1
Similarly to the previous commit, use backquotes instead of forward-quotes, for long options. This was obtained with: perl -pi -e "s/'(--[a-z][a-z=<>-]*)'/\`\$1\`/g" *.txt and manual tweak to remove false positive in ascii-art (o'--o'--o' to describe rewritten history).

2016-02-01transport: drop support for git-over-rsyncLibravatar Jeff King1-16/+2
The git-over-rsync protocol is inefficient and broken, and has been for a long time. It transfers way more objects than it needs (grabbing all of the remote's "objects/", regardless of which objects we need). It does its own ad-hoc parsing of loose and packed refs from the remote, but doesn't properly override packed refs with loose ones, leading to garbage results (e.g., expecting the other side to have an object pointed to by a stale packed-refs entry, or complaining that the other side has two copies of the refs[1]). This latter breakage means that nobody could have successfully pulled from a moderately active repository since cd547b4 (fetch/push: readd rsync support, 2007-10-01). We never made an official deprecation notice in the release notes for git's rsync protocol, but the tutorial has marked it as such since 914328a (Update tutorial., 2005-08-30). And on the mailing list as far back as Oct 2005, we can find Junio mentioning it as having "been deprecated for quite some time."[2,3,4]. So it was old news then; cogito had deprecated the transport in July of 2005[5] (though it did come back briefly when Linus broke git-http-pull!). Of course some people professed their love of rsync through 2006, but Linus clarified in his usual gentle manner[6]: > Thanks! This is why I still use rsync, even though > everybody and their mother tells me "Linus says rsync is > deprecated." No. You're using rsync because you're actively doing something _wrong_. The deprecation sentiment was reinforced in 2008, with a mention that cloning via rsync is broken (with no fix)[7]. Even the commit porting rsync over to C from shell (cd547b4) lists it as deprecated! So between the 10 years of informal warnings, and the fact that it has been severely broken since 2007, it's probably safe to simply remove it without further deprecation warnings.

2014-02-20Documentation: fix documentation AsciiDoc links for external urlsLibravatar Roberto Tyley1-1/+1
Turns out that putting 'link:' before the 'http' is actually superfluous in AsciiDoc, as there's already a predefined macro to handle it. "http, https, [etc] URLs are rendered using predefined inline macros." http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/userguide.html#_urls "Hypertext links to files on the local file system are specified using the link inline macro." http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/userguide.html#_linking_to_local_documents Despite being superfluous, the reference implementation of AsciiDoc tolerates the extra 'link:' and silently removes it, giving a functioning link in the generated HTML. However, AsciiDoctor (the Ruby implementation of AsciiDoc used to render the http://git-scm.com/ site) does /not/ have this behaviour, and so generates broken links, as can be seen here: http://git-scm.com/docs/git-cvsimport (links to cvs2git & parsecvs) http://git-scm.com/docs/git-filter-branch (link to The BFG) It's worth noting that after this change, the html generated by 'make html' in the git project is identical, and all links still work.

2013-08-13core-tutorial: trim the section on Inspecting ChangesLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-36/+3
Back when the core tutorial was written, `log` and `whatchanged` were scripted Porcelains. In the "Inspecting Changes" section that talks about the plumbing commands in the diff family, it made sense to use `log` and `whatchanged` as good examples of the use of these plumbing commands, and because even these scripted Porcelains were novelty (there wasn't the new end-user tutorial written), it made some sense to illustrate uses of the `git log` (and `git whatchanged`) scripted Porcelain commands. But we no longer have scripted `log` and `whatchanged` to serve as examples, and this document is not where the end users learn what `git log` command is about. Stop at briefly mentioning the possibility of combining rev-list with diff-tree to build your own log, and leave the end-user documentation of `log` to the new tutorial and the user manual. Also resurrect the last version of `git-log`, `git-whatchanged`, and `git-show` to serve as examples to contrib/examples/ directory. While at it, remove 'whatchanged' from a list of sample commands that are affected by GIT_FLUSH environment variable. This is not meant to be an exhaustive list but as a list of typical ones, and an old command that is kept primarily for backward compatibility does not belong to it.

Spend only minimum number of columns necessary to show the number of lines in the output from "diff --stat", instead of always allocating 4 columns even when showing changes that are much smaller than 1000 lines. By Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek * zj/diff-stat-smaller-num-columns: diff --stat: use less columns for change counts
2012-04-30diff --stat: use less columns for change countsLibravatar Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek1-2/+2
Number of columns required for change counts is now computed based on the maximum number of changed lines instead of being fixed. This means that usually a few more columns will be available for the filenames and the graph. The graph width logic is also modified to include enough space for "Bin XXX -> YYY bytes". If changes to binary files are mixed with changes to text files, change counts are padded to take at least three columns. And the other way around, if change counts require more than three columns, then "Bin"s are padded to align with the change count. This way, the +- part starts in the same column as "XXX -> YYY" part for binary files. This makes the graph easier to parse visually thanks to the empty column. This mimics the layout of diff --stat before this change. Tests and the tutorial are updated to reflect the new --stat output. This means either the removal of extra padding and/or the addition of up to three extra characters to truncated filenames. One test is added to check the graph alignment when a binary file change and text file change of more than 999 lines are committed together.

2012-04-26docs: stop using asciidoc no-inline-literalLibravatar Jeff King1-14/+14
In asciidoc 7, backticks like `foo` produced a typographic effect, but did not otherwise affect the syntax. In asciidoc 8, backticks introduce an "inline literal" inside which markup is not interpreted. To keep compatibility with existing documents, asciidoc 8 has a "no-inline-literal" attribute to keep the old behavior. We enabled this so that the documentation could be built on either version. It has been several years now, and asciidoc 7 is no longer in wide use. We can now decide whether or not we want inline literals on their own merits, which are: 1. The source is much easier to read when the literal contains punctuation. You can use `master~1` instead of `master{tilde}1`. 2. They are less error-prone. Because of point (1), we tend to make mistakes and forget the extra layer of quoting. This patch removes the no-inline-literal attribute from the Makefile and converts every use of backticks in the documentation to an inline literal (they must be cleaned up, or the example above would literally show "{tilde}" in the output). Problematic sites were found by grepping for '`.*[{\\]' and examined and fixed manually. The results were then verified by comparing the output of "html2text" on the set of generated html pages. Doing so revealed that in addition to making the source more readable, this patch fixes several formatting bugs: - HTML rendering used the ellipsis character instead of literal "..." in code examples (like "git log A...B") - some code examples used the right-arrow character instead of '->' because they failed to quote - api-config.txt did not quote tilde, and the resulting HTML contained a bogus snippet like: <tt><sub></tt> foo <tt></sub>bar</tt> which caused some parsers to choke and omit whole sections of the page. - git-commit.txt confused ``foo`` (backticks inside a literal) with ``foo'' (matched double-quotes) - mentions of `A U Thor <author@example.com>` used to erroneously auto-generate a mailto footnote for author@example.com - the description of --word-diff=plain incorrectly showed the output as "[-removed-] and {added}", not "{+added+}". - using "prime" notation like: commit `C` and its replacement `C'` confused asciidoc into thinking that everything between the first backtick and the final apostrophe were meant to be inside matched quotes - asciidoc got confused by the escaping of some of our asterisks. In particular, `credential.\*` and `credential.<url>.\*` properly escaped the asterisk in the first case, but literally passed through the backslash in the second case.

Replace 'git-cmd' with 'git cmd' throughout, except where git-shell, git-cvsserver, git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack, and git-upload-archive are concerned, because those really live in the $PATH.

Since the git-* commands are not installed in $(bindir), using "git-command <parameters>" in examples in the documentation is not a good idea. On the other hand, it is nice to be able to refer to each command using one hyphenated word. (There is no escaping it, anyway: man page names cannot have spaces in them.) This patch retains the dash in naming an operation, command, program, process, or action. Complete command lines that can be entered at a shell (i.e., without options omitted) are made to use the dashless form. The changes consist only of replacing some spaces with hyphens and vice versa.
