2010-10-13CodingGuidelines: reword parameter expansion sectionLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-12/+15
Group entries related to parameter substitutions together and avoid using the word "regexp" to refer to the ${parameter/pattern/string} substitution (banned), as the pattern there is a shell glob and not a regular expression. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2010-10-06Documentation/git-clone: describe --mirror more verboselyLibravatar Uwe Kleine-König1-1/+6
Some people in #linux-rt noticed that describing what "--mirror" option does with "it mirrors" is way insufficient.

2010-09-30rev-list-options: clarify --parents and --childrenLibravatar Michael J Gruber1-4/+4
Make it clearer that --parents resp. --children list the parent resp. child commits next to each commit, so that I understand next time. Signed-off-by: Michael J Gruber <git@drmicha.warpmail.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2010-09-29user-manual: be consistent in illustrations to 'git rebase'Libravatar Kirill Smelkov1-2/+2

2010-09-27Documentation: Refer to git-commit-tree in git-filter-branch helpLibravatar Wesley J. Landaker1-1/+1
Currently, the help for git filter-branch refers users of --env-filter to git-commit for information about environment variables affecting commits. However, this information is not contained in the git-commit help, but is very explicitly detailed in git-commit-tree. Signed-off-by: Wesley J.

2010-09-27CodingGuidelines: spell Arithmetic Expansion with $(($var))Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+4
POSIX wants shells to support both "N" and "$N" and requires them to yield the same answer to $((N)) and $(($N)), but we should aim for portability in a case like this, especially when the price we pay to do so is so small, i.e. a few extra dollars. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2010-09-24Documentation/git-svn: discourage "noMetadata"Libravatar Eric Wong1-3/+14

2010-09-15git-ls-files.txt: clarify -x/--exclude optionLibravatar Jay Soffian1-2/+3
Since b5227d8, -x/--exclude does not apply to cached files. This is easy to miss unless you read the discussion in the EXCLUDE PATTERNS section.

2010-09-10config.txt: fix placement of diff.noprefixLibravatar Mark Lodato1-2/+3
In git-config(1), diff.noprefix was placed in between diff.mnemonicprefix and the list of mnemonic prefixes, which is obviously incorrect and very confusing to readers. Now, it is located after the end of the explanation of mnemonicprefix, which makes much more sense. Signed-off-by: Mark Lodato <lodatom@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2010-09-01install-webdoc: filter timestamp-only changes correctlyLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
The timestamp that follows "Last updated " is formatted differently depending on the version of AsciiDoc. Looking at 4604fe56 on "html" branch, you can see that AsciiDoc 7.0.2 used to give "02-Jul-2008 03:02:14 UTC" but AsciiDoc 8.2.5 gave "2008-09-19 06:33:25 UTC". We haven't been correctly filtering out phantom changes that result from only the build date for some time now, it seems. Just filter lines that begin with "Last updated ".
