2010-01-07git-rm doc: Describe how to sync index & work treeLibravatar Björn Gustavsson1-1/+53
Newcomers to git that want to remove from the index only the files that have disappeared from the working tree will probably look for a way to do that in the documentation for 'git rm'. Therefore, describe how that can be done (even though it involves other commands than 'git rm'). Based on a suggestion by Junio, but re-arranged and rewritten to better fit into the style of command reference. While at it, change a single occurrence of "work tree" to "working tree" for consistency. Signed-off-by: Björn Gustavsson <bgustavsson@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2009-12-31fast-import: Document author/committer/tagger name is optionalLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-3/+3
The fast-import parser does not validate that the author, committer or tagger name component contains both a name and an email address. Therefore the name component has always been optional. Correct the documentation to match the implementation. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2009-12-29Documentation: always respect core.worktree if setLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-8/+15
The value of core.worktree in a ".git/config" is honored even when it differs from the directory that has the ".git" directory as its subdirectory. This is likely to be a misconfiguration, so warn users about it. Also, drop the part of the documentation that incorrectly claimed that we ignore such a misconfigured value.

2009-12-07Documentation: 'git add -A' can remove filesLibravatar Björn Gustavsson1-13/+20
The current documentation fails to mention that 'git add -A/--all' can remove files as well as add them, and it also does not say anything about filepatterns (whether they are allowed, mandatory, or optional). It is also not clear what the similarities and differences to the -u option are. Update the intro paragraph (as suggested by Junio, with some minor edits) to make it clear that 'git add' is able to delete and to also cover the -p option. Reword the description of -u to make it clearer (based on Björn Steinbrink's suggestion). Simplify the description of -A by saying "Like -u" and then describe the differences (based on the suggestions by Björn Steinbrink and Junio).

2009-12-03Documentation: xmlto 0.0.18 does not know --stringparamLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+7
Newer DocBook stylesheets want man.base.url.for.relative.links parameter set when formatting manpages with external references to turn them into full URLs, and leave a helpful "you should set this parameter" message in the output. Earlier we added the MAN_BASE_URL make variable to specify the value for it. When MAN_BASE_URL is not given, it ought to be safe to set the parameter to empty; it would result in an empty leading path for older stylesheets that ignore the parameter, and newer ones would produce the same "relative URL" without the message. Unfortunately, older xmlto (at least version 0.0.18 released in early 2004 that comes with RHEL/CentOS 5) does not understand the --stringparam command line option, so we cannot add the parameter definition unconditionally to the command line. Work it around by passing the parameter only when set. If you do not have a suitable URL prefix, you can pass a quoted empty string to it, like so: $ make MAN_BASE_URL='""' Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
