Since commit 00b347d (git-config: do not complain about duplicate entries, 2012-10-23), "git config --get" does not exit with an error if there are multiple values for the specified key but instead returns the last value.

2013-06-26column doc: rewrite documentation for column.uiLibravatar Ramkumar Ramachandra1-3/+17
The configuration option column.ui is very poorly documented, and it is unclear what the defaults are, and what option can be combined with what. Rewrite it by splitting up the options into three sections clearly showing how COL_ENABLED, COL_LAYOUT_MASK, and COL_DENSE work.

2013-06-23user-manual: Update download size for Git and the kernelLibravatar W. Trevor King1-3/+3
They've grown since d19fbc3 (Documentation: add git user's manual, 2007-01-07) when the stats were initially added. I've rounded download sizes up to the nearest multiple of ten MiB to decrease the precision and give a bit of growing room. Exact sizes: $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/git/.git/ remote: Counting objects: 156872, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (40826/40826), done. remote: Total 156872 (delta 115322), reused 155492 (delta 114094) Receiving objects: 100% (156872/156872), 37.29 MiB | 7.54 MiB/s, done.

2013-06-21web--browse: support /usr/bin/cygstart on CygwinLibravatar Yaakov Selkowitz1-0/+1
While both GUI and console Cygwin browsers do exist, anecdotal evidence suggests most users rely on their native Windows browser. cygstart, which is a long-standing part of the base Cygwin installation, will cause the page to be opened in the default Windows browser (the one registered to open .html files).

2013-06-18Documentation/git-push.txt: explain better cases where --force is dangerousLibravatar Matthieu Moy1-0/+9
The behavior of "git push --force" is rather clear when it updates only one remote ref, but running it when pushing several branches can really be dangerous. Warn the users a bit more and give them the alternative to push only one branch. Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-06-10Git 1.8.3.1Libravatar Junio C Hamano2-0/+20

2013-05-20Documentation/diff-index: mention two modes of operationLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-6/+6
"diff-index" can be used to compare a tree with the tracked working tree files (when used without the --index option), or with the index (when used with the --index option). The text however did not say anything about the comparison with the working tree at all. Fix this.

2013-05-20git-svn: clarify explanation of --destination argumentLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-5/+14
The existing documentation for "-d" does not make it obvious whether its argument is supposed to be a full svn path, a partial svn path, the glob from the config file, or what.

2013-05-20git-svn: multiple fetch/branches/tags keys are supportedLibravatar Nathan Gray1-0/+12
"git svn" can be configured to use multiple fetch, branches, and tags refspecs by passing multiple --branches or --tags options at init time or editing the configuration file later, which can be handy when working with messy Subversion repositories.
