2010-06-13grep -O: allow optional argument specifying the pager (or editor)Libravatar Johannes Schindelin1-3/+3
Suppose you want to edit all files that contain a specific search term. Of course, you can do something totally trivial such as git grep -z -e <term> | xargs -0r vi +/<term> but maybe you are happy that the same will be achieved by git grep -Ovi <term> now.

2010-06-13grep: Add the option '--open-files-in-pager'Libravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+8
This adds an option to open the matching files in the pager, and if the pager happens to be "less" (or "vi") and there is only one grep pattern, it also jumps to the first match right away. The short option was chose as '-O' to avoid clashes with GNU grep's options (as suggested by Junio). So, 'git grep -O abc' is a short form for 'less +/abc $(grep -l abc)' except that it works also with spaces in file names, and it does not start the pager if there was no matching file.

2010-06-02Documentation/pretty-{formats,options}: better reference for "format:<string>"Libravatar Nazri Ramliy2-4/+5
In "git help log" (and friends) it's not easy to find the possible placeholder for <string> for the "--pretty=format:<string>" option to git log. This patch makes the placeholder easier to find by adding a reference to the "PRETTY FORMATS" section and repeating the "format:<string>" phrase.

2010-05-04Documentation/shortlog: scripted users should not rely on implicit HEADLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-1/+6
When passed no revision arguments, ‘git shortlog’ reads a log from stdin if and only if stdin is not a tty. So scripts that need to function identically when standard input is a terminal (as when run interactively) and not (as when run through a cron job) should either supply a log themselves or specify the desired revisions explicitly.
