2017-02-15Merge branch 'tg/stash-doc-cleanup'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+3
The documentation explained what "git stash" does to the working tree (after stashing away the local changes) in terms of "reset --hard", which was exposing an unnecessary implementation detail. * tg/stash-doc-cleanup: Documentation/stash: remove mention of git reset --hard

2017-02-13Documentation/stash: remove mention of git reset --hardLibravatar Thomas Gummerer1-2/+3
Don't mention git reset --hard in the documentation for git stash save. It's an implementation detail that doesn't matter to the end user and thus shouldn't be exposed to them. In addition it's not quite true for git stash -p, and will not be true when a filename argument to limit the stash to a few files is introduced.

2017-02-13docs/git-submodule: fix unbalanced quoteLibravatar Jeff King1-3/+6
The documentation gives an example of the submodule foreach command that uses both backticks and single-quotes. We stick the whole thing inside "+" markers to make it monospace, but the inside punctuation still needs escaping. We handle the backticks with "{backtick}", and use backslash-escaping for the single-quotes. But we missed the escaping on the second quote. Fortunately, asciidoc renders this unbalanced quote as we want (showing the quote), but asciidoctor does not. We could fix it by adding the missing backslash. However, let's take a step back. Even when rendered correctly, it's hard to read a long command stuck into the middle of a paragraph, and the important punctuation is hard to notice. Let's instead bump it into its own single-line code block. That makes both the source and the rendered result more readable, and as a bonus we don't have to worry about quoting at all.

2017-02-13docs/gitremote-helpers: fix unbalanced quotesLibravatar Jeff King1-3/+3
Each of these options is missing the closing single-quote on the option name. This understandably confuses asciidoc, which ends up rendering a stray quote, like: option cloning {'true|false} Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

We currently have 168 man pages that mention they are part of Git, you can check yourself easily via: $ git grep "Part of the linkgit:git\[1\] suite" |wc -l 168 However some have a trailing period, i.e. $ git grep "Part of the linkgit:git\[1\] suite." |wc -l 8 Unify the bottom line in all man pages to not end with a period.

2017-02-08push options: pass push options to the transport helperLibravatar Stefan Beller1-0/+4
When using non-builtin protocols relying on a transport helper (such as http), push options are not propagated to the helper. The user could ask for push options and a push would seemingly succeed, but the push options would never be transported to the server, misleading the users expectation. Fix this by propagating the push options to the transport helper. This is only addressing the first issue of (1) the helper protocol does not propagate push-option (2) the http helper is not prepared to handle push-option Once we fix (2), the http transport helper can make use of push options as well, but that happens as a follow up. (1) is a bug fix, whereas (2) is a feature, which is why we only do (1) here. Signed-off-by: Stefan Beller <sbeller@google.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2017-02-08rev-list-options.txt: update --all about HEADLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-2/+2
This is the document patch for f0298cf1c6 (revision walker: include a detached HEAD in --all - 2009-01-16). Even though that commit is about detached HEAD, as Jeff pointed out, always adding HEAD in that case may have subtle differences with --source or --exclude.

2017-02-03reset: add an example of how to split a commit into twoLibravatar Jacob Keller1-0/+38
It is often useful to break a commit into multiple parts that are more logical separations. This can be tricky to learn how to do without the brute-force method if re-writing code or commit messages from scratch. Add a section to the git-reset documentation which shows an example process for how to use git add -p and git commit -c HEAD@{1} to interactively break a commit apart and re-use the original commit message as a starting point when making the new commit message.

2017-02-02document behavior of empty color nameLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+3
Commit 55cccf4bb (color_parse_mem: allow empty color spec, 2017-02-01) clearly defined the behavior of an empty color config variable. Let's document that, and give a hint about why it might be useful. It's important not to say that it makes the item uncolored, because it doesn't. It just sets no attributes, which means that any previous attributes continue to take effect. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2017-02-01doc: add note about ignoring '--no-create-reflog'Libravatar Cornelius Weig2-0/+6
The commands git-branch and git-tag accept the '--create-reflog' option, and create reflog even when core.logallrefupdates configuration is explicitly set not to. On the other hand, the negated form '--no-create-reflog' is accepted as a valid option but has no effect (other than overriding an earlier '--create-reflog' on the command line). This silent noop may puzzle users. To communicate that this is a known limitation, add a short note in the manuals for git-branch and git-tag.

2017-01-31refs: add option core.logAllRefUpdates = alwaysLibravatar Cornelius Weig2-1/+4
When core.logallrefupdates is true, we only create a new reflog for refs that are under certain well-known hierarchies. The reason is that we know that some hierarchies (like refs/tags) are not meant to change, and that unknown hierarchies might not want reflogs at all (e.g., a hypothetical refs/foo might be meant to change often and drop old history immediately). However, sometimes it is useful to override this decision and simply log for all refs, because the safety and audit trail is more important than the performance implications of keeping the log around. This patch introduces a new "always" mode for the core.logallrefupdates option which will log updates to everything under refs/, regardless where in the hierarchy it is (we still will not log things like ORIG_HEAD and FETCH_HEAD, which are known to be transient).

2017-01-27doc: clarify distinction between sign-off and pgp-signingLibravatar Cornelius Weig1-7/+6
The documentation for submission discourages pgp-signing, but demands a proper sign-off by contributors. However, when skimming the headings, the wording of the section for sign-off could mistakenly be understood as concerning pgp-signing. Thus, new contributors could oversee the necessary sign-off. This commit improves the wording such that the section about sign-off cannot be misunderstood as pgp-signing. In addition, the paragraph about pgp-signing is changed such that it avoids the impression that pgp-signing could be relevant at later stages of the submission.

2017-01-23log --graph: customize the graph lines with config log.graphColorsLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+4
If you have a 256 colors terminal (or one with true color support), then the predefined 12 colors seem limited. On the other hand, you don't want to draw graph lines with every single color in this mode because the two colors could look extremely similar. This option allows you to hand pick the colors you want. Even with standard terminal, if your background color is neither black or white, then the graph line may match your background and become hidden. You can exclude your background color (or simply the colors you hate) with this. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
