2005-09-04[PATCH] Doc: replace read-cache with git-read-tree.Libravatar Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso1-2/+2
Replace references to "read-cache" with references to git-read-tree in the documentation. I chose that because reference say "see read-cache about stages", and stages are explained in git-read-tree.

2005-08-22Clean-up output from "git show-branch" and document it.Libravatar Junio C Hamano3-72/+108
When showing only one branch a lot of default output becomes redundant, so clean it up a bit, and document what is shown. Retire the earlier implementation "git-show-branches-script". Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2005-08-17[PATCH] Assorted changes to glossaryLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-43/+61
Based on the discussion on the git list, here are some important changes to the glossary. (There is no cache, but an index. Use "object name" rather than "SHA1". Reorder. Clarify.) Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <Johannes.Schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-08-17[PATCH] Add merge detection to git-cvsimportLibravatar Martin Langhoff1-1/+11
Added -m and -M flags for git-cvsimport to detect merge commits in cvs. While this trusts the commit message, in repositories where merge commits indicate 'merged from FOOBRANCH' the import works surprisingly well. Even if some merges from CVS are bogus or incomplete, the resulting branches are in better state to go forward (and merge) than without any merge detection.

2005-08-17[PATCH] Add GIT glossaryLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+198
[jc: This is the version without asciidoc cross references; Johannes says that the cross referenced one is generated from this file using a Perl script, so I am placing this as the source, and expecting to later receive the script and a Makefile entry or two to massage this file into the final HTML or whatever form.] Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <Johannes.Schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-08-17[PATCH] use it's and its correctly in documentationLibravatar Greg Louis1-1/+1
At one place in Documentation/tutorial.txt and several in the base README, its was wrongly used in place of it's or vice versa. One instance remains somewhere in Documentation/howto/, which I didn't correct because it's in a quotation. Signed-off-by: Greg Louis <glouis@dynamicro.ca> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-08-17[PATCH] Also handle CVS branches with a '/' in their nameLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+5
I track a CVS project which has a branch with a '/' in the branch name. Since git wants the branch name to be a file name at the same time, substitute that character to a '-' by default (override with "-s <subst>"). This should work well, despite the fact that a division and a difference are completely different :-) Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <Johannes.Schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-08-16[PATCH] Add a bit more links to the commands to the main git(7) page.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+24
There are many programs like git-add not described at all, and the organization of the list of commands may be suboptimal, but we have to start somewhere. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
