2009-04-07Documentation: clarify .gitattributes searchLibravatar Jason Merrill2-5/+5
Use the term "toplevel of the work tree" in gitattributes.txt and gitignore.txt to define the limits of the search for those files. Signed-off-by: Jason Merrill <jason@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-04-07git-checkout.txt: clarify that <branch> applies when no path is given.Libravatar Matthieu Moy1-2/+6
Otherwise, the sentence "Defaults to HEAD." can be mis-read to mean that "git checkout -- hello.c" checks-out from HEAD. Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-04-07git-checkout.txt: fix incorrect statement about HEAD and indexLibravatar Matthieu Moy1-2/+2
The command "git checkout" checks out from the index by default, not HEAD (the introducing comment were correct, but the detailled explanation added below were not). Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2009-03-30git-tag(1): add hint about commit messagesLibravatar Nico -telmich- Schottelius1-0/+1
If a tag is not annotated, git tag displays the commit message instead. Add this hint to the manpage to unhide this secret. Signed-off-by: Nico Schottelius <nico@ikn.schottelius.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

As of commit 03300c0 the graph API uses '*' for all nodes including merges. This updates the example in the documentation to match. Signed-off-by: Allan Caffee <allan.caffee@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
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.

2009-01-25Documentation: rework src/dst description in git pushLibravatar Anders Melchiorsen1-11/+12
This tries to make the description of ref matching in git push easier to read. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, though. Signed-off-by: Anders Melchiorsen <mail@cup.kalibalik.dk> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-01-25Documentation: more git push examplesLibravatar Anders Melchiorsen1-3/+13
Include examples of using HEAD. The order of examples introduces new concepts one by one. This pushes the example of deleting a ref to the end of the list. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-01-25Documentation: simplify refspec format descriptionLibravatar Junio C Hamano2-9/+9
The refspec format description was a mix of regexp and BNF, making it very difficult to read. The format was also wrong: it did not show that each part of a refspec is optional in different situations. Rather than having a confusing grammar, just present the format in informal prose.

2009-01-23Fix Documentation for git-describeLibravatar Boyd Stephen Smith Jr1-1/+1
The documentation for git-describe says the default abbreviation is 8 hexadecimal digits while cache.c clearly shows DEFAULT_ABBREV set to 7. This patch corrects the documentation. Signed-off-by: Boyd Stephen Smith Jr <bss@iguanasuicide.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2009-01-18Documentation: mention branches rather than headsLibravatar Anders Melchiorsen1-2/+2
The "matching refs" semantics works only on matching branches these days. Instead of using "heads" which traditionally has been used more or less interchangeably with "refs", say "branch" explicitly here. Signed-off-by: Anders Melchiorsen <mail@cup.kalibalik.dk> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-01-18Documentation: remove a redundant elaborationLibravatar Anders Melchiorsen1-2/+1
The comment in parentheses is wrong, as one has to leave out both the colon and <dst>. This situation is covered by the section a few lines down: A parameter <ref> without a colon pushes the <ref> from the source repository to the destination repository under the same name. So, just remove the parentheses. Signed-off-by: Anders Melchiorsen <mail@cup.kalibalik.dk> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Command line options can share the same paragraph of description, if they are related or synonymous. In these cases they should be written among each other, so that asciidoc can format them itself.
