2009-04-18imap-send: use correct configuration variable in documentationLibravatar Paul Bolle1-1/+1

2009-04-17doc/gitattributes: clarify location of config textLibravatar Jeff King1-3/+6
The gitattributes documentation has a section on the "diff" attribute, with subsections for each of the things you might want to configure in your diff config section (external diff, hunk headers, etc). The first such subsection specifically notes that the definition of the diff driver should go into $GIT_DIR/config, but subsequent sections do not. This location is implied if you are reading the documentation sequentially, but it is not uncommon for a new user to jump to (or be referred to) a specific section. For a new user who does not know git well enough to recognize the config syntax, it is not clear that those directives don't also go into the gitattributes file. This patch just mentions the config file in each subsection, similar to the way it is mentioned in the first.

2009-03-27Documentation: format-patch --root clarificationsLibravatar Thomas Rast1-9/+12
Users were confused about the meaning and use of the --root option. Notably, since 68c2ec7 (format-patch: show patch text for the root commit, 2009-01-10), --root has nothing to do with showing the patch text for the root commit any more. Shorten and clarify the corresponding paragraph in the DESCRIPTION section, document --root under OPTIONS, and add an explicit note that root commits are formatted regardless.

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.

2009-03-21format-patch: --numbered-files and --stdout aren't mutually exclusiveLibravatar Stephen Boyd1-1/+0
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.

2009-03-19doc: clarify how -S worksLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+4
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>
