2012-08-08Documentation: list git-credential in plumbing commandsLibravatar Matthieu Moy1-1/+1
Commit e30b2feb1b (Jun 24 2012, add 'git credential' plumbing command) forgot to add git-credential to command-list.txt, hence the command was not appearing in the documentation, making it hard for users to discover it. While we're there, capitalize the description line for git-crendential for consistency with other commands.

2012-07-24Enumerate revision range specifiers in the documentationLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+31
It was a bit hard to learn how <rev>^@, <rev>^! and various other forms of range specifiers are used, because they were discussed mostly in the prose part of the documentation, unlike various forms of extended SHA-1 expressions that are listed in an enumerated list. Also add a few more examples showing use of <rev>, <rev>..<rev> and <rev>^! forms, stolen from a patch by Max Horn. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2012-07-23commit: document the temporary commit message fileLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+9
We do not document COMMIT_EDITMSG at all, but users may want to know about it for two reasons: 1. They may want to tell their editor to configure itself for formatting a commit message. 2. If a commit is aborted by an error, the user may want to recover the commit message they typed. Let's put a note in git-commit(1).

2012-07-23mergetool: support --tool-help option like difftool doesLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+3
This way we do not have to risk the list of tools going out of sync between the implementation and the documentation. In the same spirit as bf73fc2 (difftool: print list of valid tools with '--tool-help', 2012-03-29), trim the list of merge backends in the documentation. We do not want to have a complete list of valid tools; we only want a list to help people guess what kind of things the tools do to be specified there, and refer them to --tool-help for a complete list.

2012-07-18credential: convert "url" attribute into its parsed subpartsLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+12
The git-credential command requires that you feed it a broken-down credential, which means that the client needs to parse a URL itself. Since we have our own URL-parsing routines, we can easily allow the caller to just give us the URL as-is, saving them some code.

2012-07-18docs/credential: minor clarity fixupsLibravatar Jeff King1-6/+4
The text in git-credential(1) was copied from technical/api-credentials, so it still talks about the input/output format as coming from git to the helper. Since the surrounding text already indicates that this format is used for reading and writing with git credential, we can just remove the extraneous confusing bits.

2012-07-13am: indicate where a failed patch is to be foundLibravatar Paul Gortmaker1-0/+3
If "git am" fails to apply something, the end user may need to know where to find the patch that failed to apply, so that the user can do other things (e.g. trying "GNU patch" on it, running "diffstat" to see what it tried to change, etc.) The input to "am" may have contained more than one patch, or the message may have been MIME encoded, and knowing what the user fed to "am" does not help very much for this purpose. Also introduce advice.amworkdir configuration to allow people who learned where to look to squelch this message.
