2008-01-09Change git-gc documentation to reflect gc.packrefs implementation.Libravatar Florian La Roche1-3/+3
56752391a8c0c591853b276e4fa0b45c34ced181 (Make "git gc" pack all refs by default) changed the default of gc.packrefs to true, to pack all refs by default in any repository. IOW, the users need to disable it explicitly if they want to by setting the config variable, since 1.5.3. However, we forgot to update the documentation. This fixes it.

2008-01-06Document the color.interactive semanticsLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+2
There are two possible confusions with the color.interactive description: 1. the short name "interactive" implies that it covers all interactive commands; let's explicitly make it so, even though there are no other interactive commands which currently use it 2. Not all parts of "git add --interactive" are controlled by color.interactive (specifically, the diffs require tweaking color.diff). So let's clarify that it applies only to displays and prompts.

2008-01-06Documentation: rename gitlink macro to linkgitLibravatar Dan McGee149-603/+603
Between AsciiDoc 8.2.2 and 8.2.3, the following change was made to the stock Asciidoc configuration: @@ -149,7 +153,10 @@ # Inline macros. # Backslash prefix required for escape processing. # (?s) re flag for line spanning. -(?su)[\\]?(?P<name>\w(\w|-)*?):(?P<target>\S*?)(\[(?P<attrlist>.*?)\])= + +# Explicit so they can be nested. +(?su)[\\]?(?P<name>(http|https|ftp|file|mailto|callto|image|link)):(?P<target>\S*?)(\[(?P<attrlist>.*?)\])= + # Anchor: [[[id]]].

2007-12-22Allow selection of different cleanup modes for commit messagesLibravatar Alex Riesen1-1/+11
Although we traditionally stripped away excess blank lines, trailing whitespaces and lines that begin with "#" from the commit log message, sometimes the message just has to be the way user wants it. For instance, a commit message template can contain lines that begin with "#", the message must be kept as close to its original source as possible if you are converting from a foreign SCM, or maybe the message has a shell script including its comments for future reference. The cleanup modes are default, verbatim, whitespace and strip. The default mode depends on if the message is being edited and will either strip whitespace and comments (if editor active) or just strip the whitespace (for where the message is given explicitely).

2007-12-14git-help: add "help.format" config variable.Libravatar Christian Couder1-2/+35
This config variable makes it possible to choose the default format used to display help. This format will be used only if no option like -a|--all|-i|--info|-m|--man|-w|--web is passed to "git-help". The following values are possible for this variable: - "man" --> "man" program is used - "info" --> "info" program is used - "web" --> "git-browse-help" is used By default we still show help using "man". This patch also adds -m|--man command line option to use "man" to allow overriding the "help.format" configuration variable. Note that this patch also revert some recent changes in "git-browse-help" because they prevented to look for config variables in the global configuration file.
