2009-07-08Documentation: update description of shell aliasesLibravatar Sitaram Chamarty1-1/+3
Aliases that invoke shell commands start from the top-level directory, but this was not documented. Signed-off-by: Sitaram Chamarty <sitaramc@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-06-30Makes some cleanup/review in gittutorialLibravatar Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo1-12/+12
There are some different but little cleanup changes to fix some missing quotes, to fix what seemed to be an unended sentence, to reident a little paragraph with too large a sentence and fix a branch name that was referred to twice later by another name.

2009-06-20git-show-ref.txt: remove word and make consistentLibravatar Stephen Boyd1-2/+2
Under is better than in because of the nested nature of the .git directory. "also using" sounds a little odd, plus we say combined with later on so just use that. Signed-off-by: Stephen Boyd <bebarino@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2009-06-13git-rerere.txt: grammatical fixups and cleanupsLibravatar Stephen Boyd1-33/+32
Rewrite the gc section using unresolved and resolved instead of "not recorded". Add plurals and missing articles. Make some sentences have consistent tense. Try and be more active by removing "that" and simplifying sentences. The terms "hand-resolve" and "hand resolve" were used, so just use "hand resolve" to be more consistent.

2009-06-11Documentation: git-send-mail can take rev-list arg to drive format-patchLibravatar Paolo Bonzini1-0/+4
The git-send-email docs do not mention except in the usage lines the combined patch formatting/sending ability of git-send-email. This patch expands on the possible arguments to git-send-email and explains the meaning of the rev-list argument.

Add references to the gitworkflows(7) manpage added in f948dd8 (Documentation: add manpage about workflows, 2008-10-19) to both gittutorial(1) and git(1), so that new users might actually discover and read it.

2009-05-25fix cat-file usage message and documentationLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+2
cat-file with an object on the command line requires an option to tell it what to output (type, size, pretty-print, etc). However, the square brackets in the usage imply that those options are not required. This patch switches them to parentheses to indicate "required but grouped-OR" (curly braces might also work, but this follows the convention used already by "git stash"). While we're at it, let's change the <sha1> specifier in the usage to <object>. That's what the documentation uses, and it does actually use the regular object lookup.

2009-05-25merge-options.txt: Clarify merge --squashLibravatar Michael J Gruber1-1/+2
With the --squash option, merge sets up the index just like for a real merge, but without the merge info (stages). Say so. Signed-off-by: Michael J Gruber <git@drmicha.warpmail.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
