2012-01-03docs: describe behavior of relative submodule URLsLibravatar Jens Lehmann1-1/+6
Since the relative submodule URLs have been introduced in f31a522a2d, they do not conform to the rules for resolving relative URIs but rather to those of relative directories. Document that behavior. Signed-off-by: Jens Lehmann <Jens.Lehmann@web.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Since 34110cd4 (Make 'unpack_trees()' have a separate source and destination index) it is no longer true that a subdirectory with the same prefix must not exist. Signed-off-by: Clemens Buchacher <drizzd@aon.at> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2011-12-18advice: Document that they all default to trueLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-11/+8
By definition, the default value of "advice.*" variables must be true and they all control various additional help messages that are designed to aid new users. Setting one to false is to tell Git that the user understands the nature of the error and does not need the additional verbose help message. Also fix the asciidoc markup for linkgit:git-checkout[1] in the description of the detachedHead advice by removing an excess colon. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2011-12-16docs: brush up obsolete bits of git-fsck manpageLibravatar Jeff King1-18/+8
After the description and options, the fsck manpage contains some discussion about what it does. Over time, this discussion has become somewhat obsolete, both in content and formatting. In particular: 1. There are many options now, so starting the discussion with "It tests..." makes it unclear whether we are talking about the last option, or about the tool in general. Let's start a new "discussion" section and make our antecedent more clear. 2. It gave an example for --unreachable using for-each-ref to mention all of the heads, saying that it will do "a _lot_ of verification". This is hopelessly out-of-date, as giving no arguments will check much more (reflogs, the index, non-head refs). 3. It goes on to mention tests "to be added" (like tree object sorting). We now have these tests. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2011-11-22revert: introduce --abort to cancel a failed cherry-pickLibravatar Jonathan Nieder3-0/+5
After running some ill-advised command like "git cherry-pick HEAD..linux-next", the bewildered novice may want to return to more familiar territory. Introduce a "git cherry-pick --abort" command that rolls back the entire cherry-pick sequence and places the repository back on solid ground. Just like "git merge --abort", this internally uses "git reset --merge", so local changes not involved in the conflict resolution are preserved.

2011-11-22revert: rename --reset option to --quitLibravatar Jonathan Nieder3-7/+7
The option to "git cherry-pick" and "git revert" to discard the sequencer state introduced by v1.7.8-rc0~141^2~6 (revert: Introduce --reset to remove sequencer state, 2011-08-04) has a confusing name. Change it now, while we still have the time. The new name for "cherry-pick, please get out of my way, since I've long forgotten about the sequence of commits I was cherry-picking when you wrote that old .git/sequencer directory" is --quit. Mnemonic: this is analagous to quiting a program the user is no longer using --- we just want to get out of the multiple-command cherry-pick procedure and not to reset HEAD or rewind any other old state. The "--reset" option is kept as a synonym to minimize the impact. We might consider dropping it for simplicity in a separate patch, though. Adjust documentation and tests to use the newly preferred name (--quit) instead of --reset. While at it, let's clarify the short descriptions of these operations in "-h" output. Before: --reset forget the current operation --continue continue the current operation After: --quit end revert or cherry-pick sequence --continue resume revert or cherry-pick sequence Noticed-by: Phil Hord <phil.hord@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
