2008-06-08Docs: Use "-l::\n--long\n" format in OPTIONS sectionsLibravatar Stephan Beyer56-210/+394
The OPTIONS section of a documentation file contains a list of the options a git command accepts. Currently there are several variants to describe the case that different options (almost) do the same in the OPTIONS section. Some are: -f, --foo:: -f|--foo:: -f | --foo:: But AsciiDoc has the special form: -f:: --foo:: This patch applies this form to the documentation of the whole git suite, and removes useless em-dash prevention, so \--foo becomes --foo.

2008-06-08git-commit.txt: Correct option alternativesLibravatar Stephan Beyer1-4/+4
This patch fixes the SYNOPSIS in git-commit.txt: * --amend could be used in conjunction with -c/-C/-F/-m; it is not mutually exclusive with them. * -m and -F are not alternative options to -c/-C; you can reuse authorship from a commit (-c/-C) but change the message (-m/-F). Furthermore, for long-option consistency --author <author> is changed to --author=<author>. Signed-off-by: Stephan Beyer <s-beyer@gmx.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2008-06-06documentation: move git(7) to git(1)Libravatar Christian Couder140-146/+144

2008-06-03Documentation: git-log cannot use rev-list specific optionsLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+6
The log family and git-rev-list share the same set of options that come from revision walking machinery, but they both have options unique to them. Notably, --header, --timestamp, --stdin and --quiet apply only to rev-list. Exclude them from the git-log documentation. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2008-06-02Documentation/git-filter-branch.txt: Fix description of --commit-filterLibravatar Kevin Ballard1-1/+1
The old description was misleading and logically impossible. It claimed that the ancestors of the original commit would be re-written to have the multiple emitted ids as parents. Not only would this modify existing objects, but it would create a cycle. What this actually does is pass the multiple emitted ids to the newly-created children to use as parents.

This patch renames the following documents and at the same time converts them to the man format: core-tutorial.txt -> gitcore-tutorial.txt glossary.txt -> gitglossary.txt But as the glossary is included in the user manual and as the new gitglossary man page cannot be included as a whole in the user manual, the actual glossary content is now in its own "glossary-content.txt" new file. And this file is included by both the user manual and the gitglossary man page. Other documents that reference the above ones are changed accordingly and sometimes improved a little too.

2008-05-28git-init: accept --bare optionLibravatar Luciano Rocha1-1/+6
It is unfortunate that "git init --bare" does not work and the only reason why "init" did not learn its own "--bare" option is because "git --bare init" already does the job (and as an option to the git 'potty', it is more generic solution). This teaches "git init" its own "--bare" option, so that both "git --bare init" and "git init --bare" works mostly the same way.

Preformatted html and man pages show a mangled graph, caused by a backslash.

2008-05-25log --graph --left-right: show left/right information in place of '*'Libravatar Adam Simpkins1-1/+1
With the --graph option, the graph already outputs 'o' instead of '*' for boundary commits. Make it emit '<' or '>' when --left-right is specified. (This change also disables the '^' prefix for UNINTERESTING commits. The graph code currently doesn't print anything special for these commits, since it assumes no UNINTERESTING, non-BOUNDARY commits are displayed. This is potentially a bug if UNINTERESTING non-BOUNDARY commits can actually be displayed via some code path.)
