2009-03-22Documentation: minor grammatical fixes and rewording in git-bundle.txtLibravatar David J. Mellor1-43/+43
This commit also converts all reference specifications to a monospaced font, as the embedded ~ character used in some of the references sometimes causes the text up to the next ~ to be displayed incorrectly as a subscript when the HTML pages are generated. This was tested with asciidoc 8.2.5. Signed-off-by: David J. Mellor <dmellor@whistlingcat.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

For example: git format-patch --numbered-files --stdout --attach HEAD~~ will create two messages with files 1 and 2 attached respectively. Without --attach/--inline but with --stdout, --numbered-files option can be simply ignored, because we are not creating any file ourselves.

The existing text was very vague about what exactly it means for difference to "contain" a change. This seems to cause confusion on the mailing list every month or two. To fix it we: 1. use "introduce or remove an instance of" instead of "contain" 2. point the user to gitdiffcore(7), which contains a more complete explanation Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2009-03-17Display warning for default git push with no push.default configLibravatar Finn Arne Gangstad1-0/+7
If a git push without any refspecs is attempted, display a warning. The current default behavior is to push all matching refspecs, which may come as a surprise to new users, so the warning shows how push.default can be configured and what the possible values are. Traditionalists who wish to keep the current behaviour are also told how to configure this once and never see the warning again.

2009-03-17New config push.default to decide default behavior for pushLibravatar Finn Arne Gangstad1-0/+18
When "git push" is not told what refspecs to push, it pushes all matching branches to the current remote. For some workflows this default is not useful, and surprises new users. Some have even found that this default behaviour is too easy to trigger by accident with unwanted consequences. Introduce a new configuration variable "push.default" that decides what action git push should take if no refspecs are given or implied by the command line arguments or the current remote configuration. Possible values are: 'nothing' : Push nothing; 'matching' : Current default behaviour, push all branches that already exist in the current remote; 'tracking' : Push the current branch to whatever it is tracking; 'current' : Push the current branch to a branch of the same name, i.e. HEAD.

2009-03-17Documentation: remove extra quoting/emphasis around literal textsLibravatar Chris Johnsen7-37/+37
If literal text (asciidoc `...`) can be rendered in a differently from normal text for each output format (man, HTML), then we do not need extra quotes or other wrapping around inline literal text segments. config.txt Change '`...`' to `...`. In asciidoc, the single quotes provide emphasis, literal text should be distintive enough. Change "`...`" to `...`. These double quotes do not work if present in the described config value, so drop them. git-checkout.txt Change "`...`" to `...` or `"..."`. All instances are command line argument examples. One "`-`" becomes `-`. Two others are involve curly braces, so move the double quotes inside the literal region to indicate that they might need to be quoted on the command line of certain shells (tcsh). git-merge.txt Change "`...`" to `...`. All instances are used to describe merge conflict markers. The quotes should are not important. git-rev-parse.txt Change "`...`" to `...`. All instances are around command line arguments where no in-shell quoting should be necessary. gitcli.txt Change `"..."` to `...`. All instances are around command line examples or single command arguments. They do not semanticly belong inside the literal text, and they are not needed outside it. glossary-content.txt user-manual.txt Change "`...`" to `...`. All instances were around command lines.
