2009-04-01Documentation: git-svn: fix trunk/fetch svn-remote key typoLibravatar Wesley J. Landaker1-1/+1
Fix the git-svn documentation svn-remote example section talking about tags and branches by using the proper key "fetch" instead of "trunk". Using "trunk" actually might be nice, but it doesn't currently work. The fetch line for the trunk was also reordered to be at the top of the list, since most people think about the trunk/tags/branches trio in that logical order. Signed-off-by: Wesley J.

2009-04-01Documentation: use "spurious .sp" XSLT if DOCBOOK_SUPPRESS_SP is setLibravatar Chris Johnsen4-14/+32
With this change, the "spurious .sp" suppression XSLT code is disabled by default. It can be enabled by defining DOCBOOK_SUPPRESS_SP. The "spurious .sp" XSLT fragment was used to work around a bug first released in docbook-xsl 1.69.1. Modern versions of docbook-xsl are negatively affected by the code (some empty lines are omitted from manpage output; see <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/115302>). The key revisions in the docbook SVN repo seem to be 5144 (before docbook-xsl 1.69.1) and 6359 (before docbook-xsl 1.71.1). Testing done with asciidoc 8.3.1 and docbook-xsl 1.74.0.

2009-03-27format-patch: add arbitrary email headersLibravatar Michael Hendricks1-0/+5
format-patch supports the format.headers configuration for adding arbitrary email headers to the patches it outputs. This patch adds support for an --add-header argument which makes the same feature available from the command line. This is useful when the content of custom email headers must change from branch to branch.

2009-03-27Documentation: format-patch --root clarificationsLibravatar Thomas Rast1-9/+12
Users were confused about the meaning and use of the --root option. Notably, since 68c2ec7 (format-patch: show patch text for the root commit, 2009-01-10), --root has nothing to do with showing the patch text for the root commit any more. Shorten and clarify the corresponding paragraph in the DESCRIPTION section, document --root under OPTIONS, and add an explicit note that root commits are formatted regardless.

2009-03-27Documentation: option to render literal text as bold for manpagesLibravatar Chris Johnsen2-1/+22
This allows manpages viewed on a tty to render inline literal text in a manner that is distinct from the surrounding text. The initial implementation (pre-mailing-list) of this patch included a conditional variant of the XSLT code in manpage-base.xsl and use xmlto's --stringparam option to optionally enable the functionality. It turns out that --stringparam is broken in all versions of xmlto except for the pre-release, SVN version. Since xmlto is a shell script the patch to fix it is simple enough, but I instead opted to use xmlto's "module" functionality. Testing done with asciidoc 8.3.1 and docbook-xsl 1.74.0.

2009-03-27Documentation: asciidoc.conf: fix verse block with block titlesLibravatar Chris Johnsen1-1/+2
No files use the variant of block-title with verse-block, but such a case would have generated broken docbook XML (<simpara> is not allowed inside <para>). This fixes the potential deviation from valid docbook XML. Testing done with asciidoc 8.3.1 and docbook-xsl 1.74.0. Signed-off-by: Chris Johnsen <chris_johnsen@pobox.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-03-27Documentation: asciidoc.conf: always use <literallayout> for [blocktext]Libravatar Chris Johnsen1-2/+2
Make the docbook-xsl-no-raw-roff variant match the no-docbook-xsl-no-raw-roff variant in terms of which XML tag is used to wrap listing block text (delimited with lines of dashes). e920b56 (Tweak asciidoc output to work with broken docbook-xsl, 2006-03-05) says docbook-xsl 1.68 needs <literallayout>. This <screen> usages was in the old, 1.72-only section. But since it is now the "roff-less" section, it probably makes sense to make it symmetric with the "roff-ful" section. Testing done with asciidoc 8.3.1 and docbook-xsl 1.74.0. Signed-off-by: Chris Johnsen <chris_johnsen@pobox.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-03-27Documentation: move "spurious .sp" code into manpage-base.xslLibravatar Chris Johnsen2-13/+13
The "spurious .sp" code should be independent of docbook-xsl versions. Testing done with asciidoc 8.3.1 and docbook-xsl 1.74.0. Signed-off-by: Chris Johnsen <chris_johnsen@pobox.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-03-27Documentation: move quieting params into manpage-base.xslLibravatar Chris Johnsen2-4/+4
Move a couple of XSL parameters that act to silence informational/warning messages generated when running xmlto from manpage-1.72.xsl to manpage-base.xsl. Since unused parameters are silently ignored, there is no problem if some version of docbook-xsl does not know about these parameters. The only problem might be if a version of docbook-xsl uses the parameters for alternate functionality. Since both parameters have fairly specific names such a situation is unlikely. Testing done with asciidoc 8.3.1 and docbook-xsl 1.74.0. Signed-off-by: Chris Johnsen <chris_johnsen@pobox.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-03-27Documentation: rename docbook-xsl-172 attribute to git-asciidoc-no-roffLibravatar Chris Johnsen2-5/+32
It seems that the ability to use raw roff codes in asciidoc.conf was eliminated by docbook-xsl 1.72.0 _and later_. Unlike the 1.72.0-specific XSLT problem, this behavior was not reverted in later releases. This patch aims to make it clear that the affected asciidoc attribute (flag) can be reasonably used with docbook-xsl versions other than 1.72.0. Also, document which make variables should be set for various versions of asciidoc and docbook-xsl. Testing done with asciidoc 8.3.1 and docbook-xsl 1.74.0.

2009-03-27Documentation: move callouts.xsl to manpage-{base,normal}.xslLibravatar Chris Johnsen3-1/+31
Each of manpage-base.xsl and manpage-normal.xsl gets a copy of the contents of callouts.xsl and the original is removed. The Makefile is adjusted to refer to manpage-normal.xsl instead of callouts.xsl. manpage-base.xsl will be later made into a common base for -normal and -1.72. Testing done with asciidoc 8.3.1 and docbook-xsl 1.74.0. Signed-off-by: Chris Johnsen <chris_johnsen@pobox.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-03-27Documentation/Makefile: break up texi pipelineLibravatar Chris Johnsen1-4/+7
Most shells define the exit value of a pipeline as the exit value of the last process. For each texi rule, run the DOCBOOK2X_TEXI tool and the "fixup" script in their own non-pipeline commands so that make will notice an error exit code.
