2008-07-05attribute documentation: keep EXAMPLE at endLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-16/+17
The document gives overall definition of states in DESCRIPTION, describes various aspects of git operations that can be influenced in EFFECTS, and finally gives examples in the EXAMPLE section. Archive creation however was somehow documented after the EXAMPLE section, not insode EFFECTS. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-07-05Documentation cvs: Clarify when a bare repository is neededLibravatar Matthew Ogilvie3-0/+14
New users sometimes import a project and then immediately try to use the imported repository as a central shared repository. This provides pointers about setting up a bare repository for that in the parts of the documentation dealing with CVS migration.

2008-07-05manpages: italicize nongit command names (if they are in teletype font)Libravatar Jonathan Nieder12-24/+24
Some manual pages use teletype font to set command names. We change them to use italics, instead. This creates a visual distinction between names of commands and command lines that can be typed at the command line. It is also more consistent with other man pages outside Git. In this patch, the commands named are non-git commands like bash. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@uchicago.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-07-05manpages: italicize gitk's name (where it was in teletype font)Libravatar Jonathan Nieder4-5/+5
The name `gitk` is sometimes meant to be entered at the command prompt, but most uses are just referring to the program with that name (not the incantation to start it). Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@uchicago.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-07-05manpages: italicize git command names (which were in teletype font)Libravatar Jonathan Nieder117-712/+712
The names of git commands are not meant to be entered at the commandline; they are just names. So we render them in italics, as is usual for command names in manpages.

2008-07-05Documentation: more "git-" versus "git " changesLibravatar Jonathan Nieder13-71/+71
With git-commands moving out of $(bindir), it is useful to make a clearer distinction between the git subcommand 'git-whatever' and the command you type, `git whatever <options>`. So we use a dash after "git" when referring to the former and not the latter. I already sent a patch doing this same thing, but I missed some spots.

2008-07-05git-format-patch(1): fix stray \ in outputLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-1/+1
In listing blocks (set off by rows of dashes), the usual formatting characters of asciidoc are instead rendered verbatim. When the escaped double-hyphen of olden days is moved into such a block along with other formatting improvements, it becomes backslash-dash-dash. So we remove the backslash.

2008-07-01Documentation formatting and cleanupLibravatar Jonathan Nieder103-509/+510
Following what appears to be the predominant style, format names of commands and commandlines both as `teletype text`. While we're at it, add articles ("a" and "the") in some places, italicize the name of the command in the manual page synopsis line, and add a comma or two where it seems appropriate.

2008-07-01Documentation: be consistent about "git-" versus "git "Libravatar Jonathan Nieder131-462/+462
Since the git-* commands are not installed in $(bindir), using "git-command <parameters>" in examples in the documentation is not a good idea. On the other hand, it is nice to be able to refer to each command using one hyphenated word. (There is no escaping it, anyway: man page names cannot have spaces in them.) This patch retains the dash in naming an operation, command, program, process, or action. Complete command lines that can be entered at a shell (i.e., without options omitted) are made to use the dashless form. The changes consist only of replacing some spaces with hyphens and vice versa. After a "s/ /-/g", the unpatched and patched versions are identical. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@uchicago.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-07-01Documentation: prepare to be consistent about "git-" versus "git "Libravatar Jonathan Nieder4-10/+10
With the dashed forms of git commands not in $(bindir), we have to change many instances of "git-command" to "git command". Also, for consistency it is at times appropriate to make the opposite change. In some cases, the change is not so simple as changing one character. This patch gets rid of some of those cases by rewrapping lines. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@uchicago.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-07-01git-daemon(1): don't assume git-daemon is in /usr/binLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-5/+5
In the example inetd.conf lines in git-daemon(1), it was assumed that `git-daemon` resides in the user's /usr/bin. With this patch, we only assume `git` is in /usr/bin. The stronger assumption fails in the default installation nowadays. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@uchicago.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-07-01Documentation: complicate example of "man git-command"Libravatar Jonathan Nieder2-3/+3
The manual page for the command invoked as "git clone" is named git-clone(1), and similarly for the rest of the git commands. Make sure our first example of this in tutorials makes it clear that it is the first two words of a command line that make up the command's name (that is: for example, the effect of "git svn dcommit" is described in git-svn(1)).

2008-07-01Only use GIT_CONFIG in "git config", not other programsLibravatar Daniel Barkalow2-9/+5
For everything other than using "git config" to read or write a git-style config file that isn't the current repo's config file, GIT_CONFIG was actively detrimental. Rather than argue over which programs are important enough to have work anyway, just fix all of them at the root. Also removes GIT_LOCAL_CONFIG, which would only be useful for programs that do want to use global git-specific config, but not the repo's own git-specific config, and want to use some other, presumably git-specific config. Despite being documented, I can't find any sign that it was ever used. Signed-off-by: Daniel Barkalow <barkalow@iabervon.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
