2008-03-05log/show/whatchanged: introduce format.pretty configurationLibravatar Denis Cheng1-0/+3
When running log/show/whatchanged from the command line, the user may want to use a preferred format without having to pass --pretty=<fmt> option every time from the command line. This teaches these three commands to honor a new configuration variable, format.pretty. The --pretty option given from the command line will override the configured format. The earlier patch fixed the in-tree callers that run these commands for purposes other than showing the output directly to the end user (the only other in-tree caller is "git bisect visualize", whose output directly goes to the end user and should be affected by this patch). Similar fixes will be needed for end-user scripts that parse the output from these commands and expect them to be in the default pretty format.

2007-06-16Document git log --abbrev-commit, as a kind of pretty optionLibravatar Jakub Narebski1-0/+9
Documentation taken from paraphrased description of "--abbrev[=<n>]" diff option, and from description of commit 5c51c985 introducing this option. Note that to change number of digits one must use "--abbrev=<n>", which affects [also] diff output. Signed-off-by: Jakub Narebski <jnareb@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-06-07War on whitespaceLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+0
This uses "git-apply --whitespace=strip" to fix whitespace errors that have crept in to our source files over time. There are a few files that need to have trailing whitespaces (most notably, test vectors). The results still passes the test, and build result in Documentation/ area is unchanged.

2007-05-13Documentation: Split description of pretty formats of commit logLibravatar Jakub Narebski1-0/+14
Split description of pretty formats into list of pretty options (--pretty and --encoding) in new file Documentation/pretty-options.txt and description of formats itself as a separate "PRETTY FORMATS" section in pretty-formats.txt While at it correct formatting a bit, to be better laid out in the resulting manpages: git-rev-list(1), git-show(1), git-log(1) and git-diff-tree(1). Those manpages now include pretty options in the same place as it was before, and description of formats just after all options.
