2009-04-01Documentation: git-svn: fix trunk/fetch svn-remote key typoLibravatar Wesley J. Landaker1-1/+1
Fix the git-svn documentation svn-remote example section talking about tags and branches by using the proper key "fetch" instead of "trunk". Using "trunk" actually might be nice, but it doesn't currently work. The fetch line for the trunk was also reordered to be at the top of the list, since most people think about the trunk/tags/branches trio in that logical order. Signed-off-by: Wesley J.

2009-04-01Documentation: use "spurious .sp" XSLT if DOCBOOK_SUPPRESS_SP is setLibravatar Chris Johnsen4-14/+32
With this change, the "spurious .sp" suppression XSLT code is disabled by default. It can be enabled by defining DOCBOOK_SUPPRESS_SP. The "spurious .sp" XSLT fragment was used to work around a bug first released in docbook-xsl 1.69.1. Modern versions of docbook-xsl are negatively affected by the code (some empty lines are omitted from manpage output; see <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/115302>). The key revisions in the docbook SVN repo seem to be 5144 (before docbook-xsl 1.69.1) and 6359 (before docbook-xsl 1.71.1). Testing done with asciidoc 8.3.1 and docbook-xsl 1.74.0.

2009-03-27format-patch: add arbitrary email headersLibravatar Michael Hendricks1-0/+5
format-patch supports the format.headers configuration for adding arbitrary email headers to the patches it outputs. This patch adds support for an --add-header argument which makes the same feature available from the command line. This is useful when the content of custom email headers must change from branch to branch.

2009-03-27Documentation: format-patch --root clarificationsLibravatar Thomas Rast1-9/+12
Users were confused about the meaning and use of the --root option. Notably, since 68c2ec7 (format-patch: show patch text for the root commit, 2009-01-10), --root has nothing to do with showing the patch text for the root commit any more. Shorten and clarify the corresponding paragraph in the DESCRIPTION section, document --root under OPTIONS, and add an explicit note that root commits are formatted regardless.

2009-03-27Documentation: option to render literal text as bold for manpagesLibravatar Chris Johnsen2-1/+22
This allows manpages viewed on a tty to render inline literal text in a manner that is distinct from the surrounding text. The initial implementation (pre-mailing-list) of this patch included a conditional variant of the XSLT code in manpage-base.xsl and use xmlto's --stringparam option to optionally enable the functionality. It turns out that --stringparam is broken in all versions of xmlto except for the pre-release, SVN version. Since xmlto is a shell script the patch to fix it is simple enough, but I instead opted to use xmlto's "module" functionality. Testing done with asciidoc 8.3.1 and docbook-xsl 1.74.0.

2009-03-27Documentation: asciidoc.conf: fix verse block with block titlesLibravatar Chris Johnsen1-1/+2
No files use the variant of block-title with verse-block, but such a case would have generated broken docbook XML (<simpara> is not allowed inside <para>). This fixes the potential deviation from valid docbook XML. Testing done with asciidoc 8.3.1 and docbook-xsl 1.74.0.
