* maint-1.8.5: Documentation: fix missing text for rev-parse --verify
2014-07-22Documentation: fix missing text for rev-parse --verifyLibravatar brian m. carlson1-1/+1
The caret (^) is used as a markup symbol in AsciiDoc. Due to the inability of AsciiDoc to parse a line containing an unmatched caret, it omitted the line from the output, resulting in the man page missing the end of a sentence. Escape this caret so that the man page ends up with the complete text. Signed-off-by: brian m. carlson <sandals@crustytoothpaste.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2014-05-08shell doc: remove stray "+" in exampleLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-1/+1
The git-shell(1) manpage says EXAMPLE To disable interactive logins, displaying a greeting instead: + $ chsh -s /usr/bin/git-shell $ mkdir $HOME/git-shell-commands [...] The stray "+" has been there ever since the example was added in v1.8.3-rc0~210^2 (shell: new no-interactive-login command to print a custom message, 2013-03-09). The "+" sign between paragraphs is needed in asciidoc to attach extra paragraphs to a list item but here it is not needed and ends up rendered as a literal "+". Remove it. A quick search with "grep -e '<p>+' /usr/share/doc/git/html/*.html" doesn't find any other instances of this problem.

The version numbering scheme has changed since Git 1.9 and we dropped the third dewey-decimal from the traditional numbering (e.g. both 1.8.4 and 1.8.5 were major feature releases). This release 1.9.1 is the first maintenance relase for Git 1.9. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

We wanted to call the upcoming release "Git 1.9", with its maintenance track being "Git 1.9.1", "Git 1.9.2", etc., but various third-party tools are reported to assume that there are at least three dewey-decimal components in our version number.
