2012-08-24Merge branch 'jc/maint-abbrev-option-cli' into maint-1.7.11Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+8
We did not document that many commands take unique prefix abbreviations of long options (e.g. "--option" may be the only flag that the command accepts that begin with "--opt", in which case you can give "--opt") anywhere easy to find for new people. * jc/maint-abbrev-option-cli: gitcli: describe abbreviation of long options
2012-08-24Merge branch 'jc/maint-rev-list-topo-doc' into maint-1.7.11Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-7/+24
It was unclear what "--topo-order" was really about in the documentation. It is not just about "children before parent", but also about "don't mix lineages". * jc/maint-rev-list-topo-doc: rev-list docs: clarify --topo-order description
2012-08-24Merge branch 'hv/coding-guidelines' into maint-1.7.11Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+8
In earlier days, "imitate the style in the neibouring code" was sufficient to keep the coherent style, but over time some parts of the codebase have drifted enough to make it ineffective. * hv/coding-guidelines: Documentation/CodingGuidelines: spell out more shell guidelines

Our documentation used to assume having files in .git/refs/* directories was the only to have branches and tags, but that is not true for quite some time. * jc/tag-doc: Documentation: do not mention .git/refs/* directories

2012-08-17man: git pull -r is a short for --rebaseLibravatar Miklos Vajna1-0/+1
Letting the "--rebase" option squat on the short-and-sweet single letter option "-r" was an unintended accident and was not even documented, but the short option seems to be already used in the wild. Let's document it so that other options that begin with "r" would not be tempted to steal it. Signed-off-by: Miklos Vajna <vmiklos@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

It was unclear what "--topo-order" was really about in the documentation. It is not just about "children before parent", but also about "don't mix lineages".

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.

2012-08-06Documentation: do not mention .git/refs/* directoriesLibravatar Junio C Hamano7-16/+27
It is an implementation detail that a new tag is created by adding a file in the .git/refs/tags directory. The only thing the user needs to know is that a "git tag" creates a ref in the refs/tags namespace, and without "-f", it does not overwrite an existing tag. Inspired by a report from 乙酸鋰 <ch3cooli@gmail.com>; I think I caught all the existing mention in Documentation/ directory in the tip of 1.7.9.X maintenance track, but we may have added new ones since then.

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.
