2008-03-07config.txt: refer to --upload-pack and --receive-pack instead of --execLibravatar Uwe Kleine-König1-4/+4
The options --upload-pack (of git-fetch-pack) and --receive-pack (of git-push) do the same as --exec (for both commands). But the former options have the more descriptive name. Signed-off-by: Uwe Kleine-König <Uwe.Kleine-Koenig@digi.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-03-03Fix incorrect wording in git-merge.txt.Libravatar Matthieu Moy1-1/+2
A merge is not necessarily with a remote branch, it can be with any commit. Thanks to Paolo Ciarrocchi for pointing out the problem, and to Nicolas Pitre for pointing out the fact that a merge is not necessarily with a branch head.

2008-02-25filter-branch documentation: non-zero exit status in command abort the filterLibravatar Caio Marcelo de Oliveira Filho1-2/+4
Since commit 8c1ce0f46b85d40f215084eed7313896300082df filter-branch fails when a <command> has a non-zero exit status. This commit makes it clear in the documentation and also fixes the parent-filter example, that was incorrectly returning non-zero when the commit being tested wasn't the one to be rewritten.

2008-02-19push: document the status outputLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+49

2008-02-19Documentation/push: clarify matching refspec behaviorLibravatar Jeff King1-3/+3
The previous text was correct, but it was easy to miss the fact that we are talking about "matching" refs. That is, the text can be parsed as "we push the union of the sets of remote and local heads" and not "we push the intersection of the sets of remote and local heads". (The former actually doesn't make sense if you think about it, since we don't even _have_ some of those heads). A careful reading would reveal the correct meaning, but it makes sense to be as explicit as possible in documentation. We also explicitly use and introduce the term "matching"; this is a term discussed on the list, and it seems useful to for users to be able to refer to this behavior by name.

The option is accepted, but that is the only form selected-paths variant of the reset command takes, so there is no point mentioning it. And while we're at it, use the dashless git call. Signed-off-by: Pieter de Bie <pdebie@ai.rug.nl> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

I was able to solve this problem with this patch, which adds a XSL file used specifically for DOCBOOK_XSL_172=YesPlease and where dots and backslashes are escaped properly so they won't be substituted to the wrong thing further down the "DocBook XSL pipeline". Doing the escaping in the existing callout.xsl breaks v1.70.1. Hopefully v1.73 will end this part of the manpage nightmare. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
