2010-04-21Documentation/Makefile: fix interrupted builds of user-manual.xmlLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-2/+6
Unlike gcc, asciidoc does not atomically write its output file or delete it when interrupted. If it is interrupted in the middle of writing an XML file, the result will be truncated input for xsltproc. XSLTPROC user-manual.html user-manual.xml:998: parser error : Premature end of data in t Take care of this case by writing to a temporary and renaming it when finished.

2010-04-17documentation: clarify direction of core.autocrlfLibravatar Will Palmer1-4/+4
The description for core.autocrlf refers to reads from / writes to "the filesystem", the only use of this rather ambiguous term, which technically could be referring to the git object database. (All other mentions are part of phrases such as "..filesystems (like NFS).."). Other sections, including the section on core.safecrlf, use the term "work tree" for the same purpose as the term "the filesystem" is used in the core.autocrlf section, so that seems like a good alternative, which makes it clearer what direction the addition/removal of CR characters occurs in.

2010-04-15Document new "already-merged" rule for branch -dLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-1/+3
v1.7.0-rc0~18^2 (branch -d: base the "already-merged" safety on the branch it merges with, 2009-12-29) taught ‘git branch’ a new heuristic for when it is safe to delete a branch without forcing the issue. It is safe to delete a branch "topic" without second thought if: - the branch "topic" is set up to pull from a (remote-tracking, usually) branch and is fully merged in that "upstream" branch, or - there is no branch.topic.merge configuration and branch "topic" is fully merged in the current HEAD. Update the man page to acknowledge the new rules. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2010-04-09fetch/push: fix usage stringsLibravatar Tay Ray Chuan2-5/+5
- use "<options>" instead of just "options". - use "[<repository> [<refspec>...]]" to indicate that <repository> and <refspec> are optional, and that <refspec> cannot be specified without specifying <repository>. Note that when called without specifying <repository> (eg. "git fetch -f"), it is accurate to say that the "git fetch [<options>] [<repository> ...]" case takes precedence over "git fetch [<options>] <group>".

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
