2013-03-21Documentation: merging a tag is a special caseLibravatar Junio C Hamano2-1/+26
When asking Git to merge a tag (such as a signed tag or annotated tag), it will always create a merge commit even if fast-forward was possible. It's like having --no-ff present on the command line. It's a difference from the default behavior described in git-merge.txt. It should be documented as an exception of "FAST-FORWARD MERGE" section and "--ff" option description.

2013-03-17rev-parse: clarify documentation of $name@{upstream} syntaxLibravatar Kacper Kornet1-4/+4
"git rev-parse" interprets string in string@{upstream} as a name of a branch not a ref. For example, refs/heads/master@{upstream} looks for an upstream branch that is merged by git-pull to ref refs/heads/refs/heads/master not to refs/heads/master. However the documentation could mislead a user to believe that the string is interpreted as ref. Signed-off-by: Kacper Kornet <draenog@pld-linux.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2013-03-15git status: document trade-offs in choosing parameters to the -u optionLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+10
In some repostories users experience that "git status" command takes long time. The command spends some time searching the file system for untracked files. Explain the trade-off struck by the default choice of `normal` to help users make an appropriate choice better, before talking about the configuration variable. Inspired by Torsten Bögershausen.

2013-03-08Documentation/git-push: clarify the description of defaultsLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-9/+14
We describe what gets pushed by default when the command line does not give any <refspec> under the bullet point of <refspec>. It is a bit unfriendly to expect users to read on <refspec> when they are not giving any in the first place. "What gets pushed" is determined by taking many factors (<refspec> argument being only one of them) into account, and is a property of the entire command, not an individual argument. Also we do not describe "Where the push goes" when the command line does not say. Give the description on "what gets pushed to where" upfront before explaining individual arguments and options. Also update the description of <refspec> to say what it is, what it is used for, before explaining what shape it takes. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

The documentation of '-A' and '-u' is very confusing for someone who doesn't already know what they do. Describe them with fewer words and clearer parallelism to each other and to the behavior of plain 'add'. Also mention the default <pathspec> for '-A' as well as '-u', because it applies to both.
