Unlike other environment variables (e.g. GIT_WORK_TREE, GIT_NAMESPACE), the Documentation/git.txt file did not mention that the GIT_DIR environment variable can also be set using the --git-dir command line option.

2012-12-07git-remote-helpers.txt: clarify options & ref list attributesLibravatar Max Horn1-5/+12
The documentation was misleading in that it gave the impression that 'for-push' could be used as a ref attribute in the output of the 'list' command. That is wrong. Also, explicitly point out the connection between the commands 'list' and 'options' on the one hand, and the sections 'REF LIST ATTRIBUTES' and 'OPTIONS' on the other hand.

2012-12-07git-remote-helpers.txt: clarify command <-> capability correspondencesLibravatar Max Horn1-5/+16
In particular, document 'list for-push' separately from 'list', as the former needs only be supported for the push/export capabilities, and the latter only for fetch/import. Indeed, a hypothetically 'push-only' helper would only need to support the former, not the latter.

2012-12-07git-remote-helpers.txt: document invocation before input formatLibravatar Max Horn1-31/+31
In the distant past, the order things were documented was 'Invocation', 'Commands', 'Capabilities', ... Then it was decided that before giving a list of Commands, there should be an overall description of the 'Input format', which was a wise decision. However, this description was put as the very first thing, with the rationale that any implementor would want to know that first. However, it seems an implementor would actually first need to know how the remote helper will be invoked, so moving 'Invocation' to the front again seems logical. Moreover, we now don't switch from discussing the input format to the invocation style and then back to input related stuff.

2012-11-29git-fast-import.txt: improve documentation for quoted pathsLibravatar Matthieu Moy1-2/+6
The documentation mentioned only newlines and double quotes as characters needing escaping, but the backslash also needs it. Also, the documentation was not clearly saying that double quotes around the file name were required (double quotes in the examples could be interpreted as part of the sentence, not part of the actual string).
