2011-08-09bisect: add support for bisecting bare repositoriesLibravatar Jon Seymour1-0/+2
This enhances the support for bisecting history in bare repositories. The "git bisect" command no longer needs to be run inside a repository with a working tree; it defaults to --no-checkout when run in a bare repository. Two tests are included to demonstrate this behaviour.

2011-08-04git-check-attr: Fix command-line handling to match docsLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-2/+5
According to the git-check-attr synopsis, if the '--stdin' option is used then no pathnames are expected on the command line. Change the behavior to match this description; namely, if '--stdin' is used but not '--', then treat all command-line arguments as attribute names.

2011-08-04docs: put listed example commands in backticksLibravatar Jeff King13-66/+66
Many examples of git command invocation are given in asciidoc listing blocks, which makes them monospaced and avoids further interpretation of special characters. Some manpages make a list of examples, like: git foo:: Run git foo. git foo -q:: Use the "-q" option. to quickly show many variants. However, they can sometimes be hard to read, because they are shown in a proportional-width font (so, for example, seeing the difference between "-- foo" and "--foo" can be difficult). This patch puts all such examples into backticks, which gives the equivalent formatting to a listing block (i.e., monospaced and without character interpretation). As a bonus, this also fixes an example in the git-push manpage, in which "git push origin :::" was accidentally considered a newly-indented list, and not a list item with "git push origin :" in it.

2011-08-01grep: add option to show whole function as contextLibravatar René Scharfe1-0/+6
Add a new option, -W, to show the whole surrounding function of a match. It uses the same regular expressions as -p and diff to find the beginning of sections. Currently it will not display comments in front of a function, but those that are following one. Despite this shortcoming it is already useful, e.g. to simply see a more complete applicable context or to extract whole functions.

2011-08-01Documentation/submodule: add command references and update optionsLibravatar Jens Lehmann1-12/+26
Reference the "git diff" and "git status" commands where they learned functionality that in earlier git versions was only available through the 'summary' and 'status' subcommands of "git submodule". The short option '-n' for '--summary-limit' was missing from the synopsis and the --init option was missing from the "options" section, add those there. And while at it, quote all options in backticks so they are decorated properly in the output formats which support that.
