2010-04-08docs: clarify "branch -l"Libravatar Jeff King1-0/+2

2010-03-21Documentation/git-clone: Transform description list into item listLibravatar Michael J Gruber1-5/+5
so that the list of examples is formatted in the same way as for git-fetch, and, more importantly, the different identation for the code blocks in the examples (compared to the immediately preceding code blocks from url.txt) doesn't look like misformatted, but is clarified by the items' bullets.

2010-03-21Documentation/urls: Remove spurious example markersLibravatar Michael J Gruber1-6/+0
In urls.txt (which is included from git-{clone,fetch,push}.txt) several item lists are surrounded by example block markers. This is problematic for two reasons: - None of these lists are example lists, so they should not be marked as such semantically. - The html output looks weird (bulleted list with left sidebar). Therefore, remove the example block markers. Output by the man backend is unaffected. Signed-off-by: Michael J Gruber <git@drmicha.warpmail.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2010-03-21Documentation/gitdiffcore: Remove misleading date in headingLibravatar Michael J Gruber1-1/+1
Ever since the automatic conversion into man form, the heading contained a misidentified subheading reading "June 2005".

2010-02-19Documentation: Fix indentation problem in git-commit(1)Libravatar Jacob Helwig1-3/+3
Ever since the "See linkgit:git-config[1]..." paragraph was added to the description for --untracked-files (d6293d1), the paragraphs for the following options were indented at the same level as the "See linkgit:git-config[1]" paragraph. This problem showed up in the manpages, but not in the HTML documentation. While this does fix the alignment of the options following --untracked-files in the manpage, the "See linkgit..." portion of the description does not retain its previous indentation level in the manpages, or HTML documentation.

2010-02-17docs: don't talk about $GIT_DIR/refs/ everywhereLibravatar Jeff King10-36/+39
It is misleading to say that we pull refs from $GIT_DIR/refs/*, because we may also consult the packed refs mechanism. These days we tend to treat the "refs hierarchy" as more of an abstract namespace that happens to be represented as $GIT_DIR/refs. At best, this is a minor inaccuracy, but at worst it can confuse users who then look in $GIT_DIR/refs and find that it is missing some of the refs they expected to see. This patch drops most uses of "$GIT_DIR/refs/*", changing them into just "refs/*", under the assumption that users can handle the concept of an abstract refs namespace. There are a few things to note: - most cases just dropped the $GIT_DIR/ portion. But for cases where that left _just_ the word "refs", I changed it to "refs/" to help indicate that it was a hierarchy. I didn't do the same for longer paths (e.g., "refs/heads" remained, instead of becoming "refs/heads/"). - in some cases, no change was made, as the text was explicitly about unpacked refs (e.g., the discussion in git-pack-refs). - In some cases it made sense instead to note the existence of packed refs (e.g., in check-ref-format and rev-parse).

2010-02-17fast-import: make default pack size unlimitedLibravatar Nicolas Pitre1-4/+1
Now that fast-import is creating packs with index version 2, there is no point limiting the pack size by default. A pack split will still happen if off_t is not sufficiently large to hold large offsets. While updating the doc, let's remove the "packfiles fit on CDs" suggestion. Pack files created by fast-import are still suboptimal and a 'git repack -a -f -d' or even 'git gc --aggressive' would be a pretty good idea before considering storage on CDs.
