2008-08-12Do not talk about "diff" in rev-list documentation.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+2
Since 8c02eee (git-rev-list(1): group options; reformat; document more options, 2006-09-01), git-rev-list documentation talks as if it supports any kind of diff output. It doesn't. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-08-11Re-fix rev-list-options documentationLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+1
18a2197 (Documentation: rev-list-options: Fix -g paragraph formatting, 2008-08-10) introduced the third paragraph that is continued, but it seems to confuse docbook toolchain on FC9 machines. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2008-08-10Documentation: rev-list-options: Fix -g paragraph formattingLibravatar Thomas Rast1-2/+2
- Add an escape to @{now}. Without the escape, the brace does something magic and eats half the sentence up to the closing brace at 'timestamp}'. - Join the last paragraph with a '+'. Signed-off-by: Thomas Rast <trast@student.ethz.ch> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-08-07asciidoc markup fixesLibravatar Junio C Hamano3-5/+5
I see quite a few pages on k.org site, e.g. http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-rerere.html (scroll down to find "After this test merge") are misformatted to lose teletype text '+' that is followed by a comma, and turns the following paragraph all typeset in teletype. This patch seems to fix the issue at the site (meaning, with the particular vintage of asciidoc and docbook toolchain), without breaking things with the version I have at my primary development machine, but wider testing is very much appreciated. After this patch, git grep '`+`,' -- Documentation should report noting. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2008-08-05fix diff-tree --stdin documentationLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+3
Long time ago, the feature of "diff-tree --stdin" to take a commit and its parents on one line was broken, and did not support the common: git rev-list --parents $commits... -- $paths... | git diff-tree --stdin -v -p usage pattern by Porcelains properly. For diff-tree to talk sensibly about commits, it needs to see commits, not just trees; the code was fixed to take list of commits on the standard input in 1.2.0. However we left the documentation stale for a long time, until Karl Hasselström finally noticed it very recently. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2008-08-01Make git-add -i accept ranges like 7-Libravatar Ciaran McCreesh1-2/+3
git-add -i ranges expect number-number. But for the supremely lazy, typing in that second number when selecting "from patch 7 to the end" is wasted effort. So treat an empty second number in a range as "until the last item". Signed-off-by: Ciaran McCreesh <ciaran.mccreesh@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2008-07-16Documentation/git-cherry-pick.txt et al.: Fix misleading -n descriptionLibravatar Petr Baudis2-13/+13
The manual page of git-cherry-pick and git-revert asserts that -n works primarily on the working tree, while in fact the primary object it operates on is the index, and the changes only "accidentally" propagate to the working tree. This e.g. leads innocent #git IRC folks to believe that you can use -n to prepare changes for git-add -i staging.

The pretty format %an does not respect .mailmap, but gives the exact author name recorded in the commit. Sometimes it is more desirable, however, to look if the email has another name mapped to it in .mailmap. This commit adds %aN (and %cN for the committer name) to do exactly that.

2008-07-05Documentation cvs: Clarify when a bare repository is neededLibravatar Matthew Ogilvie3-0/+14
New users sometimes import a project and then immediately try to use the imported repository as a central shared repository.

The rev-parse manpage introduces the branch@{date} syntax, and mentions the reflog specifically.

2008-06-18Add config option to enable 'fsync()' of object filesLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-0/+8
As explained in the documentation[*] this is totally useless on filesystems that do ordered/journalled data writes, but it can be a useful safety feature on filesystems like HFS+ that only journal the metadata, not the actual file contents. It defaults to off, although we could presumably in theory some day auto-enable it on a per-filesystem basis. [*] Yes, I updated the docs for the thing.
