2013-01-02Merge branch 'mh/ceiling'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-8/+0

2013-01-02SubmittingPatches: give list and maintainer addressesLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+6
We told readers to "send it to the list" (or the maintainer) without telling what addresses are to be used. Correct this. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-01-02SubmittingPatches: remove overlong checklistLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-76/+61
The section is no longer a concise checklist. It also talks about things that are not covered in the "Long version" text, which means people need to read both, covering more or less the same thing in different phrasing. Fold the details into the main text and remove the section. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-01-01Documentation: full-ness of a bundle is significant for cloningLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+3
Not necessarily every bundle file can be cloned from. Only the ones that do not need prerequisites can. When 1d52b02 (Documentation: minor grammatical fixes and rewording in git-bundle.txt, 2009-03-22) reworded this paragraph, it lost a critical hint to tell readers why this particular bundle can be cloned from. Resurrect it. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-01-01SubmittingPatches: mention subsystems with dedicated repositoriesLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+24
These were only mentioned in periodical "A note from the maintainer" posting and not in the documentation suite. SubmittingPatches has a section to help contributors decide on what commit to base their changes, which is the most suitable place for this information. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-01-01SubmittingPatches: who am I and who cares?Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-8/+2
The introductory text in the "long version" talks about the origin of this document with "I started ...", but it is unclear who that I is, and more importantly, it is not interesting how it was started. Just state the purpose of the document to help readers decide if it is releavant to them. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-01-01Documentation: correct example restore from bundleLibravatar Kirill Brilliantov1-1/+1
Because the bundle created in the example does not record HEAD, "git clone" will not check out the files to the working tree: $ git clone pr.bundle q/ Cloning into 'q'... Receiving objects: 100% (619/619), 13.52 MiB | 18.74 MiB/s, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (413/413), done. warning: remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout. Avoid alarming the readers by adding "-b master" to the example. A better fix may be to arrange the bundle created in the earlier step to record HEAD, so that it can be cloned without this workaround.

2012-12-28Remove the suggestion to use parsecvs, which is currently broken.Libravatar Eric S. Raymond1-4/+2
The parsecvs code has been neglected for a long time, and the only public version does not even build correctly. I have been handed control of the project and intend to fix this, but until I do it cannot be recommended. Also, the project URL given for Subversion needed to be updated to follow their site move.

2012-12-27git-svn: Recommend use of structure options.Libravatar Sebastian Leske1-3/+21
Document that when using git svn, one should usually either use the directory structure options to import branches as branches, or only import one subdirectory. The default behaviour of cloning all branches and tags as subdirectories in the working copy is usually not what the user wants.

2012-12-27git-svn: Document branches with at-sign(@).Libravatar Sebastian Leske1-0/+46
git svn sometimes creates branches with an at-sign in the name (branchname@revision). These branches confuse many users and it is a FAQ why they are created. Document when git svn creates them.

2012-12-27git-remote-helpers.txt: document invocation before input formatLibravatar Max Horn1-31/+31
In the distant past, the order things were documented was 'Invocation', 'Commands', 'Capabilities', ... Then it was decided that before giving a list of Commands, there should be an overall description of the 'Input format', which was a wise decision. However, this description was put as the very first thing, with the rationale that any implementor would want to know that first. However, it seems an implementor would actually first need to know how the remote helper will be invoked, so moving 'Invocation' to the front again seems logical. Moreover, we now don't switch from discussing the input format to the invocation style and then back to input related stuff.

19299a8 (Documentation: Move diff.<driver>.* from config.txt to diff-config.txt, 2011-04-07) moved the diff configuration options to diff-config.txt, but forgot about diff.wordRegex, which was left behind in config.txt.
