2013-08-05log doc: the argument to --encoding is not optionalLibravatar Jonathan Nieder2-2/+2
$ git log --encoding fatal: Option '--encoding' requires a value $ git rev-list --encoding fatal: Option '--encoding' requires a value The argument to --encoding has always been mandatory. Unfortunately manpages like git-rev-list(1), git-log(1), and git-show(1) have described the option's syntax as "--encoding[=<encoding>]" since it was first documented. Clarify by removing the extra brackets. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2013-06-26documentation: add git:// transport security noticeLibravatar Fraser Tweedale1-0/+3
The fact that the git:// transport does no authentication is easily overlooked. For example, DNS poisoning may result in fetching from somewhere that was not intended. Add a brief security notice to the "GIT URLS" section of the documentation stating that the git transport should be used with caution on unsecured networks.

The configuration option column.ui is very poorly documented, and it is unclear what the defaults are, and what option can be combined with what. Rewrite it by splitting up the options into three sections clearly showing how COL_ENABLED, COL_LAYOUT_MASK, and COL_DENSE work.

2013-06-23user-manual: Update download size for Git and the kernelLibravatar W. Trevor King1-3/+3
They've grown since d19fbc3 (Documentation: add git user's manual, 2007-01-07) when the stats were initially added. I've rounded download sizes up to the nearest multiple of ten MiB to decrease the precision and give a bit of growing room. Exact sizes: $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/git/.git/ remote: Counting objects: 156872, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (40826/40826), done. remote: Total 156872 (delta 115322), reused 155492 (delta 114094) Receiving objects: 100% (156872/156872), 37.29 MiB | 7.54 MiB/s, done.

2013-06-21web--browse: support /usr/bin/cygstart on CygwinLibravatar Yaakov Selkowitz1-0/+1
While both GUI and console Cygwin browsers do exist, anecdotal evidence suggests most users rely on their native Windows browser. cygstart, which is a long-standing part of the base Cygwin installation, will cause the page to be opened in the default Windows browser (the one registered to open .html files).

2013-06-18Documentation: Move "git diff <blob> <blob>"Libravatar Kevin Bracey1-7/+7
The section describing "git diff <blob> <blob>" had been placed in a position that disrupted the statement "This is synonymous to the previous form".

2013-06-18Documentation/git-merge.txt: weaken warning about uncommited changesLibravatar Matthieu Moy1-2/+2
Commit 35d2fffd introduced 'git merge --abort' as a synonym to 'git reset --merge', and added some failing tests in t7611-merge-abort.sh (search '###' in this file) showing that 'git merge --abort' could not always recover the pre-merge state. Still, in many cases, 'git merge --abort' just works, and it is usually considered that the ability to start a merge with uncommited changes is an important property of Git. Weaken the warning by discouraging only merge with /non-trivial/ uncommited changes. Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-06-18Documentation/git-push.txt: explain better cases where --force is dangerousLibravatar Matthieu Moy1-0/+9
The behavior of "git push --force" is rather clear when it updates only one remote ref, but running it when pushing several branches can really be dangerous.
