2007-11-08SubmittingPatches: improve the 'Patch:' section of the checklistLibravatar Sergei Organov1-5/+4
There were 2 items "send patch to..." but having different set of addresses to send patch to. Merge them together and move the resulting item to the end of checklist. Signed-off-by: Sergei Organov <osv@javad.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-11-07Add Documentation/CodingGuidelinesLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+112
Even if our code is quite a good documentation for our coding style, some people seem to prefer a document describing it. The part about the shell scripts is clearly just copied from one of Junio's helpful mails, and some parts were added from comments by Junio, Andreas Ericsson and Robin Rosenberg.

2007-11-02Documentation: quote commit messages consistently.Libravatar Sergei Organov3-7/+7
Documentation quotes commit messages 14 times with double-quotes, and 7 times with single-quotes. The patch turns everything to double-quotes. A nice side effect is that documentation becomes more Windoze-friendly as AFAIK single quotes won't work there.

2007-11-01git-diff.txt: add section "output format" describing the diff formatsLibravatar Gerrit Pape2-9/+13
git-diff.txt includes diff-options.txt which for the -p option refers to a section "generating patches.." which is missing from the git-diff documentation. This patch adapts diff-format.txt to additionally mention the git-diff program, and includes diff-format.txt into git-diff.txt. Tino Keitel noticed this problem.

"git-merge <msg> HEAD <other branches>" is still supported but we shouldn't encourage its use. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-10-30git-merge: document but discourage the historical syntaxLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-5/+6
Historically "git merge" took its command line arguments in a rather strange order. Document the historical syntax, and also document clearly that it is not encouraged in new scripts. There is no reason to deprecate the historical syntax, as the current code can sanely tell which syntax the caller is using, and existing scripts by people do use the historical syntax.

2007-09-26apply: get rid of --index-info in favor of --build-fake-ancestorLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-4/+7
git-am used "git apply -z --index-info" to find the original versions of the files touched by the diff, to be able to do an inexpensive three-way merge. This operation makes only sense in a repository, since the index information in the diff refers to blobs, which have to be present in the current repository. Therefore, teach "git apply" a mode to write out the result as an index file to begin with, obviating the need for scripts to do it themselves. The sole user for --index-info is "git am" is converted to use --build-fake-ancestor in this patch.

2007-09-25core-tutorial: correct URLLibravatar Randy Dunlap1-1/+2
The tinyurl is incorrect -- it attempts to go to groups.osdl.org, which is gone. Either use the full URL (in patch) or create a new tinyurl for this URL. Is the web page (where I first saw this problem) generated from this txt file? http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/core-tutorial.html If not, it needs to be updated also.
