2019-08-21userdiff: add a builtin pattern for dts filesLibravatar Stephen Boyd1-0/+2
The Linux kernel receives many patches to the devicetree files each release. The hunk header for those patches typically show nothing, making it difficult to figure out what node is being modified without applying the patch or opening the file and seeking to the context. Let's add a builtin 'dts' pattern to git so that users can get better diff output on dts files when they use the diff=dts driver. The regex has been constructed based on the spec at devicetree.org[1] and with some help from Johannes Sixt.

2019-08-11doc: fix repeated wordsLibravatar Mark Rushakoff9-9/+9
Inspired by 21416f0a07 ("restore: fix typo in docs", 2019-08-03), I ran "git grep -E '(\b[a-zA-Z]+) \1\b' -- Documentation/" to find other cases where words were duplicated, e.g. "the the", and in most cases removed one of the repeated words. There were many false positives by this grep command, including deliberate repeated words like "really really" or valid uses of "that that" which I left alone, of course. I also did not correct any of the legitimate, accidentally repeated words in old RelNotes.

2019-08-05doc: typo: s/can not/cannot/ and s/is does/does/Libravatar Mark Rushakoff6-7/+7
"Can not" suggests one has the option to not do something, whereas "cannot" more strongly suggests something is disallowed or impossible. Noticed "can not", mistakenly used instead of "cannot" in git help glossary, then ran git grep 'can not' and found many other instances. Only files in the Documentation folder were modified. 'Can not' also occurs in some source code comments and some test assertion messages, and there is an error message and translation "can not move directory into itself" which I may fix and submit separately from the documentation change. Also noticed and fixed "is does" in git help fetch, but there are no other occurrences of that typo according to git grep.

2019-08-01log: flip the --mailmap default unconditionallyLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-5/+3
It turns out that being cautious to warn against upcoming default change was an unpopular behaviour, and such a care can easily be defeated by distro packagers to render it ineffective anyway. Just flip the default, with only a mention in the release notes. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
