2018-02-22Documentation/gitsubmodules.txt: avoid non-ASCII apostrophesLibravatar Motoki Seki1-7/+7
In gitsubmodules.txt, a few non-ASCII apostrophes are used to spell possessive, e.g. "submodule's". These unfortunately are not rendered at https://git-scm.com/docs/gitsubmodules correctly by the renderer used there. Use ASCII apostrophes instead to work around the problem. It also is good to be consistent, as there are possessives spelled with ASCII apostrophes.

2017-06-22submodules: overhaul documentationLibravatar Stefan Beller1-0/+221
This patch aims to detangle (a) the usage of `git-submodule` from (b) the concept of submodules and (c) how the actual implementation looks like, such as where they are configured and (d) what the best practices are. To do so, move the conceptual parts of the 'git-submodule' man page to a new man page gitsubmodules(7). This new page is just like gitmodules(5), gitattributes(5), gitcredentials(7), gitnamespaces(7), gittutorial(7), which introduce a concept rather than explaining a specific command.
