* maint-1.6.0: Documentation: git-archive: mark --format as optional in summary
2009-08-27Documentation: git-archive: mark --format as optional in summaryLibravatar Wesley J. Landaker1-1/+1
The --format option was made optional in 8ff21b1 (git-archive: make tar the default format, 2007-04-09), but it was not marked as optional in the summary. This trival patch just changes the summary to match the rest of the documentation. Signed-off-by: Wesley J. Landaker <wjl@icecavern.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2009-06-20git-show-ref.txt: remove word and make consistentLibravatar Stephen Boyd1-2/+2
Under is better than in because of the nested nature of the .git directory. "also using" sounds a little odd, plus we say combined with later on so just use that. Signed-off-by: Stephen Boyd <bebarino@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2009-06-13git-rerere.txt: grammatical fixups and cleanupsLibravatar Stephen Boyd1-33/+32
Rewrite the gc section using unresolved and resolved instead of "not recorded". Add plurals and missing articles. Make some sentences have consistent tense. Try and be more active by removing "that" and simplifying sentences. The terms "hand-resolve" and "hand resolve" were used, so just use "hand resolve" to be more consistent.

2009-03-27Documentation: format-patch --root clarificationsLibravatar Thomas Rast1-9/+12
Users were confused about the meaning and use of the --root option. Notably, since 68c2ec7 (format-patch: show patch text for the root commit, 2009-01-10), --root has nothing to do with showing the patch text for the root commit any more. Shorten and clarify the corresponding paragraph in the DESCRIPTION section, document --root under OPTIONS, and add an explicit note that root commits are formatted regardless.

2009-01-25Documentation: rework src/dst description in git pushLibravatar Anders Melchiorsen1-11/+12

2009-01-25Documentation: simplify refspec format descriptionLibravatar Junio C Hamano2-9/+9
The refspec format description was a mix of regexp and BNF, making it very difficult to read. The format was also wrong: it did not show that each part of a refspec is optional in different situations. Rather than having a confusing grammar, just present the format in informal prose.
