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>

2009-01-23Fix 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>

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.

2008-12-21doc/git-fsck: change the way for getting heads' SHA1sLibravatar Markus Heidelberg1-1/+2
The straightforward way with using 'cat .git/refs/heads/*' doesn't work with packed refs as well as branches of the form topic/topic1.

2008-12-19fast-export: deal with tag objects that do not have a taggerLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+6
When no tagger was found (old Git produced tags like this), no "tagger" line is printed (but this is incompatible with the current git fast-import). Alternatively, you can pass the option --fake-missing-tagger, forcing fast-export to fake a tagger Unspecified Tagger <no-tagger> with a tag date of the beginning of (Unix) time in the case of a missing tagger, so that fast-import is still able to import the result.

2008-12-09work around Python warnings from AsciiDocLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-9/+9
It appears that a reference to an anchor defined as [[anchor-name]] from another place using <<anchor-name>> syntax, when the anchor name contains a string "-with-" in its name, triggers these warnings from Python interpreter. asciidoc -b docbook -d book user-manual.txt <string>:1: Warning: 'with' will become a reserved keyword in Python 2.6 <string>:1: Warning: 'with' will become a reserved keyword in Python 2.6 <string>:1: Warning: 'with' will become a reserved keyword in Python 2.6 <string>:1: Warning: 'with' will become a reserved keyword in Python 2.6 There currently is no reference to "Finding comments with given content", but for consistency and for futureproofing, the anchor is also updated as the other ones that are actually used and trigger these warnings.

2008-11-14Documentation: git-svn: fix example for centralized SVN cloneLibravatar Jan Krüger1-0/+2
The example that tells users how to centralize the effort of the initial git svn clone operation doesn't work properly. It uses rebase but that only works if HEAD exists. This adds one extra command to create a somewhat sensible HEAD that should work in all cases.

2008-11-14repack: only unpack-unreachable if we are deleting redundant packsLibravatar Brandon Casey1-6/+5
The -A option calls pack-objects with the --unpack-unreachable option so that the unreachable objects in local packs are left in the local object store loose. But if the -d option to repack was _not_ used, then these unpacked loose objects are redundant and unnecessary. Update tests in t7701.

2008-11-12pack-objects: extend --local to mean ignore non-local loose objects tooLibravatar Brandon Casey1-1/+1
With this patch, --local means pack only local objects that are not already packed. Additionally, this fixes t7700 testing whether loose objects in an alternate object database are repacked. Signed-off-by: Brandon Casey <drafnel@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-11-12pack-objects: new option --honor-pack-keepLibravatar Brandon Casey1-0/+5
This adds a new option to pack-objects which will cause it to ignore an object which appears in a local pack which has a .keep file, even if it was specified for packing. This option will be used by the porcelain repack. Signed-off-by: Brandon Casey <casey@nrlssc.navy.mil> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-11-11git push: Interpret $GIT_DIR/branches in a Cogito compatible wayLibravatar Martin Koegler1-5/+14
Current git versions ignore everything after # (called <head> in the following) when pushing. Older versions (before cf818348f1ab57), interpret #<head> as part of the URL, which make git bail out. As branches origin from Cogito, it is the best to correct this by using the behaviour of cg-push, that is to push HEAD to remote refs/heads/<head>.

Even long timers seem to have missed that "format-patch -1 $commit" is a much simpler and more obvious way to say "format-patch $commit^..$commit" from the current documentation (and an example "format-patch -3 $commit" to get three patches). Add an explicit instruction in a much earlier part of the documentation to make it easier to find. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
