2013-02-19user-manual: Flesh out uncommitted changes and submodule updatesLibravatar W. Trevor King1-1/+3
If you try and update a submodule with a dirty working directory, you get an error message like: $ git submodule update error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by checkout: ... Please, commit your changes or stash them before you can switch branches. Aborting ... Mention this in the submodule notes. The previous phrase was short enough that I originally thought it might have been referring to the reflog note (obviously, uncommitted changes will not show up in the reflog either ;).

2013-02-19user-manual: Use request-pull to generate "please pull" textLibravatar W. Trevor King1-9/+5
Less work and more error checking (e.g. does a merge base exist?). Add an explicit push before request-pull to satisfy request-pull, which checks to make sure the references are publically available. Signed-off-by: W. Trevor King <wking@tremily.us> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-02-19user-manual: Reorganize the reroll sections, adding 'git rebase -i'Libravatar W. Trevor King1-46/+69
I think this interface is often more convenient than extended cherry picking or using 'git format-patch'. In fact, I removed the cherry-pick section entirely. The entry-level suggestions for rerolling are now: 1. git commit --amend 2. git format-patch origin git reset --hard origin ...edit and reorder patches... git am *.patch 3. git rebase -i origin Signed-off-by: W.

2013-02-18user-manual: use -o latest.tar.gz to create a gzipped tarballLibravatar W. Trevor King1-3/+12
This functionality was introduced by 0e804e09 (archive: provide builtin .tar.gz filter, 2011-07-21) for v1.7.7. Signed-off-by: W. Trevor King <wking@tremily.us> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-02-18user-manual: use 'git config --global user.*' for setupLibravatar W. Trevor King1-5/+13
A simple command line call is easier than spawning an editor, especially for folks new to ideas like the "command line" and "text editors". This is also the approach suggested by 'git commit' if you try and commit without having configured user.name or user.email. Signed-off-by: W.

2013-02-18user-manual: mention 'git remote add' for remote branch configLibravatar W. Trevor King1-27/+13
I hardly ever setup remote.<name>.url using 'git config'. While it may be instructive to do so, we should also point out 'git remote add'. Signed-off-by: W. Trevor King <wking@tremily.us> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2013-02-18user-manual: use 'remote add' to setup push URLsLibravatar W. Trevor King1-5/+10
There is no need to use here documents to setup this configuration. It is easier, less confusing, and more robust to use `git remote add` directly. Signed-off-by: W. Trevor King <wking@tremily.us> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2013-02-15git.txt: update description of the configuration mechanismLibravatar Matthieu Moy1-6/+5
The old Git version where it appeared is now useful only to historians, not to normal users. Also, the text was mentioning only the per-repo config file, but this is a good place to teach that customization can also be made per-user. While at it, remove a now-defunct e-mail from an example.

2013-02-12Replace filepattern with pathspec for consistencyLibravatar Matthieu Moy1-5/+5
pathspec is the most widely used term, and is the one defined in gitglossary.txt. <filepattern> was used only in the synopsys for git-add and git-commit, and in git-add.txt. Get rid of it. This patch is obtained with by running: perl -pi -e 's/filepattern/pathspec/' `git grep -l filepattern` Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-02-11git-bisect.txt: clarify that reset quits bisectLibravatar Michael J Gruber1-1/+6
"reset" can be easily misunderstood as resetting a bisect session to its start without finishing it. Clarify that it actually quits the bisect session.

2013-02-10user-manual: Fix 'http' -> 'HTTP' typosLibravatar W. Trevor King1-3/+3
HTTP is an acronym which has not (yet) made the transition to word status (unlike "laser", probably because lasers are inherently cooler than HTTP ;). Signed-off-by: W. Trevor King <wking@tremily.us> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-02-10user-manual: Fix 'both: so' -> 'both; so' typoLibravatar W. Trevor King1-1/+1
The clause "so `git log ...` will return no commits..." is independent, not a description of "both", so a semicolon is more appropriate. Signed-off-by: W. Trevor King <wking@tremily.us> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
