2010-12-18fsck docs: remove outdated and useless diagnosticLibravatar Mark Lodato1-3/+0
In git-fsck(1), there was a reference to the warning "<tree> has full pathnames in it". This exact wording has not been used since 2005 (commit f1f0d0889e55), when the wording was changed slightly. More importantly, the description of that warning was useless, and there were many other similar warning messages which were not document at all. Since all these warnings are fairly obvious, there is no need for them to be in the man page. Signed-off-by: Mark Lodato <lodatom@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2010-12-16difftool: provide basename to external toolsLibravatar Michael J Gruber1-0/+1
Currently, only configured diff helpers get the basename of the file being compared. Tools specified with "git difftool -x" only get the names of temporary files for the different versions. Export BASE so that an external tool can read the name from the environment. Rather than using a third argument, this avoids breaking existing scripts which may somewhat carelessly be using "$@" rather than "$1" "$2".

2010-12-07git-rm.txt: Fix quotingLibravatar Michael J Gruber1-6/+6
Literal " produces typographically incorrect quotations, but "works" in most circumstances. In the subheadings of git-rm.txt, it "works" for the html backend but not for the docbook conversion to nroff: double "" and spurious double spaces appear in the output. Replace "incorrect" quotations by ``correct'' ones, and fix other "quotations" which are really `code fragments`. This should make git-rm.txt "-clean.

2010-12-02Documentation: Fix mark-up of lines with more than one tildeLibravatar Junio C Hamano2-2/+2
The manual pages of cherry-pick and revert had examples with two revisions on the same line in the examples section, that looked like this: git cherry-pick master~4 master~2:: Unfortunately, this is taken as a mark-up to make the part between two tildes, "4 master", subscript. Use {tilde} to make it explicit that we do want ~ characters in these places (backslash does not help).

2010-12-01add: introduce add.ignoreerrors synonym for add.ignore-errorsLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-1/+5
The "[add] ignore-errors" tweakable introduced by v1.5.6-rc0~30^2 (Add a config option to ignore errors for git-add, 2008-05-12) does not follow the usual convention for naming values in the git configuration file. What convention? Glad you asked. The section name indicates the affected subsystem. The subsection name, if any, indicates which of an unbound set of things to set the value for. The variable name describes the effect of tweaking this knob. The section and variable names can be broken into words using bumpyCaps in documentation as a hint to the reader. These word breaks are not significant at the level of code, since the section and variable names are not case sensitive. The name "add.ignore-errors" includes a dash, meaning a naive configuration file like [add] ignoreErrors does not have any effect. Avoid such confusion by renaming to the more consistent add.ignoreErrors, but keep the old version for backwards compatibility.

2010-11-11Documentation: point to related commands from gitignoreLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-5/+19
A frequently asked question on #git is how to stop tracking a file that is mistakenly tracked by git. A frequently attempted strategy is to add such files to .gitignore. Thus one might imagine that the gitignore documentation could be a good entry point for 'git rm' documentation. Add some cross-references in this vein. While at it, move a reference to update-index --assume-unchanged from the DESCRIPTION to lower down on the page. This way, the methodical reader can benefit from first learning what excludes files do, then how they relate to other git facilities.

2010-11-09docs: give more hints about how "add -e" worksLibravatar Jeff King1-28/+76
The previous text was not exactly accurate; it is OK to change space and minus lines, but only in certain ways. This patch takes a whole new approach, which is to describe the sorts of conceptual operations you might want to perform. It also includes a healthy dose of warnings about how things can go wrong. Since the size of the text is getting quite long, it also splits this out into an "editing patches" section. This makes more sense with the current structure, anyway, which already splits out the interactive mode description.

2010-11-09Documentation: document show -sLibravatar Jonathan Nieder2-0/+7
Git's diff machinery has supported a -s (silence diff output) option as far back as v0.99~900 (Silent flag for show-diff, 2005-04-13), but the option is only advertised in an odd corner of the git diff-tree manual. The main use is to retrieve basic metadata about a commit: git show -s rev Explain this in the 'git log' manual and provide an example in the 'git show' examples section. This is kind of a cop-out, since it would be more useful to explain it in the 'git show' manual proper, which says: The command takes options applicable to the git diff-tree command to control how the changes the commit introduces are shown. This manual page describes only the most frequently used options. Fixing that is a larger task for another day.
