Preformatted html and man pages show a mangled graph, caused by a backslash.

2008-05-22Clarify repack -n documentationLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-2/+5
While repacking a local repository a coworker thought the -n option was necessary to git-repack to keep it from updating some unknown file on the central server we all share. Explaining further what the option is (not) doing helps to make it clear the option does not impact any remote repositories the user may have configured. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2008-05-05git-bisect.sh: don't accidentally override existing branch "bisect"Libravatar Gerrit Pape1-1/+1
If a branch named "bisect" or "new-bisect" already was created in the repo by other means than git bisect, doing a git bisect used to override the branch without a warning. Now if the branch "bisect" or "new-bisect" already exists, and it was not created by git bisect itself, git bisect start fails with an appropriate error message. Additionally, if checking out a new bisect state fails due to a merge problem, git bisect cleans up the temporary branch "new-bisect".

Coming from CVS, I found the git glossary vital to learning git and learning how terms in git correlate to the cvs terminology with which I am familiar.

I managed to set up a Git repository on a preconfigured WebDAV server, and using HTTPS, without installing Git on it or changing the server configuration. This works through a proxy too. This patch reflects this (it previously stated that Git was _necessary_ on the server, which isn't true). Also give a few hints to troubleshoting.

2008-04-15Clarify documentation of git-cvsserver, particularly in relation to git-shellLibravatar Scott Collins1-11/+17
For SSH clients restricted to git-shell, CVS_SERVER does not have to be specified, because git-shell understands the default value of 'cvs' to mean git-cvsserver'. This makes it totally transparent to CVS users, but the instruction to set up CVS access for people with real shell access does not apply. Previous wording mentioning GIT_AUTHOR, GIT_COMMITTER variables was unclear that we really meant GIT_AUTHOR_(NAME|EMAIL), etc. Note that the .ssh/environment file is a good place to set these, and that the .bashrc is shell-specific. Add a bit of text to differentiate cvs -d (setting CVSROOT) from cvs co -d (setting the name of the newly checked out directory). Removed an extra 'Example:' string.

When an argument for an option is optional, like in -n from git-tag, puting a space between the option and the argument is interpreted as a missing argument for the option plus an isolated argument. Documentation now reflects the need to write the parameter following the option -n, as in "git tag -nARG", for instance.
