2007-05-25Documentation: Clean up links in GIT GlossaryLibravatar Jakub Narebski1-29/+29
Ensure that the same link is not repeated in single glossary entry, and that there is no self-link i.e. link to current entry. Add links to other definitions in git glossary. Remove inappropriate (nonsense) links, or change link to link to correct definition (to correct term). Signed-off-by: Jakub Narebski <jnareb@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2007-05-17glossary: expand and clarify some definitions, prune cross-referencesLibravatar J. Bruce Fields1-94/+134
Revise and expand some of the definitions in the glossary, based in part on a recent thread started by a user looking for help with some of the jargon. I've borrowed some of the language from Linus's email on that thread. (I'm assuming standing permission to plagiarize Linus's email....) Also start making a few changes to mitigate the appearance of "circularity" mentioned in that thread: - feel free to use somewhat longer definitions and to explain some things more than once instead of relying purely on cross-references - don't use cross-references when they're redundant: eliminate self-references and repeated references to the same entry.

2007-03-18glossary: clean up cross-referencesLibravatar J. Bruce Fields1-29/+29
Manual clean-up of cross-references, and also clean up a few definitions (e.g. git-rebase). Signed-off-by: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@citi.umich.edu>
2007-03-18glossary: stop generating automaticallyLibravatar J. Bruce Fields1-350/+390
The sort_glossary.pl script sorts the glossary, checks for duplicates, and automatically adds cross-references. But it's not so hard to do all that by hand, and sometimes the automatic cross-references are a little wrong; so let's run the script one last time and check in its output. Note: to make the output fit better into the user manual I also deleted the acknowledgements at the end, which was maybe a little rude; feel free to object and I can find a different solution.

2006-12-31Documentation: update glossary entry for "origin"Libravatar J. Bruce Fields1-3/+4
Update glossary entry for "origin" to reflect fact that it normally now refers to a remote repository, not a branch. Also, warning not to work on remote-tracking branches is no longer necessary since git doesn't allow that. Signed-off-by: J.
