2011-07-06Documentation: use [verse] for SYNOPSIS sectionsLibravatar Martin von Zweigbergk1-0/+1
The SYNOPSIS sections of most commands that span several lines already use [verse] to retain line breaks. Most commands that don't span several lines seem not to use [verse]. In the HTML output, [verse] does not only preserve line breaks, but also makes the section indented, which causes a slight inconsistency between commands that use [verse] and those that don't. Use [verse] in all SYNOPSIS sections for consistency. Also remove the blank lines from git-fetch.txt and git-rebase.txt to align with the other man pages. In the case of git-rebase.txt, which already uses [verse], the blank line makes the [verse] not apply to the last line, so removing the blank line also makes the formatting within the document more consistent. While at it, add single quotes to 'git cvsimport' for consistency with other commands.

2010-01-10Documentation: spell 'git cmd' without dash throughoutLibravatar Thomas Rast1-3/+3
The documentation was quite inconsistent when spelling 'git cmd' if it only refers to the program, not to some specific invocation syntax: both 'git-cmd' and 'git cmd' spellings exist. The current trend goes towards dashless forms, and there is precedent in 647ac70 (git-svn.txt: stop using dash-form of commands., 2009-07-07) to actively eliminate the dashed variants. 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.

2009-11-20Add branch management for releases to gitworkflowsLibravatar Raman Gupta1-0/+115
The current man page does a reasonable job at describing branch management during the development process, but it does not contain any guidance as to how the branches are affected by releases. Add a basic introduction to the branch management undertaken during a git.git release, so that a reader may gain some insight into how the integration, maintenance, and topic branches are affected during the release transition, and is thus able to better design the process for their own project. Other release activities such as reviews, testing, and creating distributions are currently out of scope.

2008-10-19Documentation: add manpage about workflowsLibravatar Thomas Rast1-0/+364
This attempts to make a manpage about workflows that is both handy to point people at it and as a beginner's introduction. Signed-off-by: Thomas Rast <trast@student.ethz.ch> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
