2008-04-18Document that WebDAV doesn't need git on the server, and works over SSLLibravatar Matthieu Moy1-12/+33
I managed to set up a Git repository on a preconfigured WebDAV server, and using HTTPS, without installing Git on it or changing the server configuration. This works through a proxy too. This patch reflects this (it previously stated that Git was _necessary_ on the server, which isn't true). Also give a few hints to troubleshoting.

2008-04-15Clarify documentation of git-cvsserver, particularly in relation to git-shellLibravatar Scott Collins1-11/+17
For SSH clients restricted to git-shell, CVS_SERVER does not have to be specified, because git-shell understands the default value of 'cvs' to mean git-cvsserver'. This makes it totally transparent to CVS users, but the instruction to set up CVS access for people with real shell access does not apply. Previous wording mentioning GIT_AUTHOR, GIT_COMMITTER variables was unclear that we really meant GIT_AUTHOR_(NAME|EMAIL), etc. Note that the .ssh/environment file is a good place to set these, and that the .bashrc is shell-specific. Add a bit of text to differentiate cvs -d (setting CVSROOT) from cvs co -d (setting the name of the newly checked out directory). Removed an extra 'Example:' string.

2008-04-10core-tutorial.txt: Fix showing the current behaviour.Libravatar Carlos Rica1-6/+6
The --root option from "git diff-tree" won't do nothing when is given to commands like git-whatchanged or git-log, because those always print the initial commit by default.

2008-04-10Fix documentation syntax of optional arguments in short options.Libravatar Carlos Rica1-2/+2
When an argument for an option is optional, like in -n from git-tag, puting a space between the option and the argument is interpreted as a missing argument for the option plus an isolated argument. Documentation now reflects the need to write the parameter following the option -n, as in "git tag -nARG", for instance.

2008-03-22fast-import: Document the effect of "merge" with no "from" in a commitLibravatar Eyvind Bernhardsen1-3/+8
The fast-import documentation currently does not document the behaviour of "merge" when there is no "from" in a commit. This patch adds a description of what happens: the commit is created with a parent, but no files. This behaviour is equivalent to "from" followed by "filedeleteall".
