2009-01-05Be consistent in switch usage for tarLibravatar Henrik Austad1-1/+1
tar handles switches with and witout preceding '-', but the documentation should be consistent nonetheless. Signed-off-by: Henrik Austad <henrik@austad.us> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2008-12-29Documentation/diff-options.txt: unify optionsLibravatar jidanni@jidanni.org1-14/+4
Instead of listing short option (e.g. "-U<n>") as a shorthand for its longer counterpart (e.g. "--unified=<n>"), list the synonyms together. It saves one indirection to find what the reader wants. Signed-off-by: jidanni <jidanni@jidanni.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-12-27git-send-email.txt: move --format-patch paragraph to a proper locationLibravatar Adeodato Simó1-6/+6
When introducing --format-patch, its documentation was accidentally inserted in the middle of documentation for --validate. Signed-off-by: Adeodato Simó <dato@net.com.org.es> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-12-27git-shortlog.txt: improve documentation about .mailmap filesLibravatar Adeodato Simó1-7/+33
The description on .mailmap made it seem like they are only useful for commits with a wrong address for an author, but they are about fixing the real name. Explain this better in the text, and replace the existing example with a new one that hopefully makes things clearer.

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. So let's use git-for-each-ref for getting the heads' SHA1s in this example. Signed-off-by: Markus Heidelberg <markus.heidelberg@web.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-12-21Documentation/git-show-branch: work around "single quote" typesetting glitchLibravatar Markus Heidelberg1-1/+1
The displayed example is typeset with acute accents around the string that should be surrounded by a pair of single quotes in manpage. Replace them with double quotes (the semantics of the example does not change). Signed-off-by: Markus Heidelberg <markus.heidelberg@web.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

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.

2008-12-17Clarify documentation of "git checkout <tree-ish> paths" syntaxLibravatar Nanako Shiraishi1-1/+1
The SYNOPSIS section of the manual writes: git checkout [options] [<tree-ish>] [--] <paths>... but the DESCRIPTION says that this form checks the paths out "from the index, or from a named commit." A later sentence refers to the same argument as "<tree-ish> argument", but it is not clear that these two sentences are talking about the same command line argument for first-time readers.

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.

2008-12-08Define linkgit macro in [macros] sectionLibravatar Alexey Borzenkov1-0/+3
Starting with asciidoc 8.3.0 linkgit macro is no longer recognized by asciidoc and user guide suggests (http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/userguide.html#_macro_definitions) that macros are supposed to be defined in [macros] section. I'm not sure whether undefined linkgit macro was working by pure chance or it is a regression in asciidoc 8.3.0, but this patch adds proper definition for the linkgit macro, allowing it to work on 8.3.0.

2008-12-02Add a built-in alias for 'stage' to the 'add' commandLibravatar Scott Chacon1-0/+19
This comes from conversation at the GitTogether where we thought it would be helpful to be able to teach people to 'stage' files because it tends to cause confusion when told that they have to keep 'add'ing them. This continues the movement to start referring to the index as a staging area (eg: the --staged alias to 'git diff'). Also adds a doc file for 'git stage' that basically points to the docs for 'git add'. Signed-off-by: Scott Chacon <schacon@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
