2008-06-06documentation: convert "diffcore" and "repository-layout" to man pagesLibravatar Christian Couder8-20/+68
This patch renames the following documents and at the same time converts them to the man format: diffcore.txt -> gitdiffcore.txt (man section 7) repository-layout.txt -> gitrepository-layout.txt (man section 5) Other documents that reference the above ones are changed accordingly.

2008-06-06git-for-each-ref.txt: minor improvementsLibravatar Lea Wiemann1-8/+9
Rewrapped synopsis and removed wrong asterisk behind --count option; clarified --sort=<key> description for multiple keys; documented that for-each-ref supports not only glob patterns but also prefixes like "refs/heads" as patterns, and that multiple patterns can be given.

2008-06-03Documentation: git-log cannot use rev-list specific optionsLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+6
The log family and git-rev-list share the same set of options that come from revision walking machinery, but they both have options unique to them. Notably, --header, --timestamp, --stdin and --quiet apply only to rev-list. Exclude them from the git-log documentation. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2008-06-02Documentation/git-filter-branch.txt: Fix description of --commit-filterLibravatar Kevin Ballard1-1/+1
The old description was misleading and logically impossible. It claimed that the ancestors of the original commit would be re-written to have the multiple emitted ids as parents. Not only would this modify existing objects, but it would create a cycle. What this actually does is pass the multiple emitted ids to the newly-created children to use as parents.

2008-06-01Documentation: convert "glossary" and "core-tutorial" to man pagesLibravatar Christian Couder9-20/+75
This patch renames the following documents and at the same time converts them to the man format: core-tutorial.txt -> gitcore-tutorial.txt glossary.txt -> gitglossary.txt But as the glossary is included in the user manual and as the new gitglossary man page cannot be included as a whole in the user manual, the actual glossary content is now in its own "glossary-content.txt" new file. And this file is included by both the user manual and the gitglossary man page. Other documents that reference the above ones are changed accordingly and sometimes improved a little too.

2008-05-28git-init: accept --bare optionLibravatar Luciano Rocha1-1/+6
It is unfortunate that "git init --bare" does not work and the only reason why "init" did not learn its own "--bare" option is because "git --bare init" already does the job (and as an option to the git 'potty', it is more generic solution). This teaches "git init" its own "--bare" option, so that both "git --bare init" and "git init --bare" works mostly the same way.

Preformatted html and man pages show a mangled graph, caused by a backslash. Commit f1ec6b22a8c1ab1cca0f1875f85aea5d2434e5a6 fixed this same issue, but it seems that new versions of the Asciidoc toolchain changed their behaviour.

2008-05-25log --graph --left-right: show left/right information in place of '*'Libravatar Adam Simpkins1-1/+1
With the --graph option, the graph already outputs 'o' instead of '*' for boundary commits. Make it emit '<' or '>' when --left-right is specified. (This change also disables the '^' prefix for UNINTERESTING commits. The graph code currently doesn't print anything special for these commits, since it assumes no UNINTERESTING, non-BOUNDARY commits are displayed. This is potentially a bug if UNINTERESTING non-BOUNDARY commits can actually be displayed via some code path.)

Being able to say "git diff A B" outside a git repository and getting a colourful version of "diff -u A B" may be nice, but such a cute hack should not give bogus results to scripts that want to give two paths, either or both of which happen to have been removed from the work tree, to "git diff-files".
