2017-09-25doc: camelCase the config variables to improve readabilityLibravatar Kaartic Sivaraam2-3/+3
References to multi-word configuration variable names in our documentation must consistently use camelCase to highlight where the word boundaries are, even though these are treated case insensitively. Fix a few places that spell them in all lowercase, which makes them harder to read.

2017-09-25merge-strategies: avoid implying that "-s theirs" existsLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+2
The description of `-Xours` merge option has a parenthetical note that tells the readers that it is very different from `-s ours`, which is correct, but the description of `-Xtheirs` that follows it carelessly says "this is the opposite of `ours`", giving a false impression that the readers also need to be warned that it is very different from `-s theirs`, which in reality does not even exist. Clarify it a bit to avoid misleading readers. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2017-09-24Documentation/config: clarify the meaning of submodule.<name>.updateLibravatar Stefan Beller1-4/+8
With more commands (that potentially change a submodule) paying attention to submodules as well as the recent discussion[1] on submodule.<name>.update, let's spell out that submodule.<name>.update is strictly to be used for configuring the "submodule update" command and not to be obeyed by other commands. These other commands usually have a strict meaning of what they should do (i.e. checkout, reset, rebase, merge) as well as have their name overlapping with the modes possible for submodule.<name>.update. [1] https://public-inbox.org/git/4283F0B0-BC1C-4ED1-8126-7E512D84484B@gmail.com/ submodule.<name>.update was set to "none", triggering unexpected behavior as the submodule was thought to never be touched. However a newer version of Git taught 'git pull --rebase' to also populate and rebase submodules if they were active. The newer options such as submodule.active and command specific flags would not have triggered unexpected behavior.

2017-09-24doc: put literal block delimiter around tableLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+2
The git-read-tree manpage has a table that is meant to be shown with its spacing exactly as it is in the source. We mark it as a "literal paragraph" by indenting each line by at least one space. This renders OK with asciidoc for both the HTML and manpage versions. But there are two problems when we render it with asciidoctor. The first is that some lines mix tabs and spaces. Even if asciidoctor is correctly configured for 8-space tabs, it seems to handle this case differently, soaking up some of the initial literal-paragraph spaces and mis-aligning the table text. The second problem is that the table uses blank lines to group rows. But as blank lines separate paragraphs in asciidoc, this actually means that each chunk of the table is rendered in its own pre-formatted <div> block. This happens even with vanilla asciidoc, but there's no visible result because the literal paragraphs aren't styled in any special way. But with asciidoctor (or at least the styles used on git-scm.com), literal paragraphs are styled with a different background. This breaks the table into a visually distracting sequence of chunks. We can fix both by adding a literal-paragraph block delimiter. That turns the whole table into a single block (for both implementations) and causes asciidoctor to render the indentation as it is in the source.

2017-09-20describe: teach --match to handle branches and remotesLibravatar Max Kirillov1-10/+14
When `git describe` uses `--match`, it matches only tags, basically ignoring the `--all` argument even when it is specified.

2017-09-12shell: drop git-cvsserver support by defaultLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+16
The git-cvsserver script is old and largely unmaintained these days. But git-shell allows untrusted users to run it out of the box, significantly increasing its attack surface. Let's drop it from git-shell's list of internal handlers so that it cannot be run by default. This is not backwards compatible. But given the age and development activity on CVS-related parts of Git, this is likely to impact very few users, while helping many more (i.e., anybody who runs git-shell and had no intention of supporting CVS). There's no configuration mechanism in git-shell for us to add a boolean and flip it to "off". But there is a mechanism for adding custom commands, and adding CVS support here is fairly trivial. Let's document it to give guidance to anybody who really is still running cvsserver. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
