2008-12-19fast-export: deal with tag objects that do not have a taggerLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+6
When no tagger was found (old Git produced tags like this), no "tagger" line is printed (but this is incompatible with the current git fast-import). Alternatively, you can pass the option --fake-missing-tagger, forcing fast-export to fake a tagger Unspecified Tagger <no-tagger> with a tag date of the beginning of (Unix) time in the case of a missing tagger, so that fast-import is still able to import the result.

2008-12-17Clarify documentation of "git checkout <tree-ish> paths" syntaxLibravatar Nanako Shiraishi1-1/+1
The SYNOPSIS section of the manual writes: git checkout [options] [<tree-ish>] [--] <paths>... but the DESCRIPTION says that this form checks the paths out "from the index, or from a named commit." A later sentence refers to the same argument as "<tree-ish> argument", but it is not clear that these two sentences are talking about the same command line argument for first-time readers.

2008-12-09work around Python warnings from AsciiDocLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-9/+9
It appears that a reference to an anchor defined as [[anchor-name]] from another place using <<anchor-name>> syntax, when the anchor name contains a string "-with-" in its name, triggers these warnings from Python interpreter. asciidoc -b docbook -d book user-manual.txt <string>:1: Warning: 'with' will become a reserved keyword in Python 2.6 <string>:1: Warning: 'with' will become a reserved keyword in Python 2.6 <string>:1: Warning: 'with' will become a reserved keyword in Python 2.6 <string>:1: Warning: 'with' will become a reserved keyword in Python 2.6 There currently is no reference to "Finding comments with given content", but for consistency and for futureproofing, the anchor is also updated as the other ones that are actually used and trigger these warnings.

2008-12-08Define linkgit macro in [macros] sectionLibravatar Alexey Borzenkov1-0/+3
Starting with asciidoc 8.3.0 linkgit macro is no longer recognized by asciidoc and user guide suggests (http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/userguide.html#_macro_definitions) that macros are supposed to be defined in [macros] section. I'm not sure whether undefined linkgit macro was working by pure chance or it is a regression in asciidoc 8.3.0, but this patch adds proper definition for the linkgit macro, allowing it to work on 8.3.0.

2008-12-02Add a built-in alias for 'stage' to the 'add' commandLibravatar Scott Chacon1-0/+19
This comes from conversation at the GitTogether where we thought it would be helpful to be able to teach people to 'stage' files because it tends to cause confusion when told that they have to keep 'add'ing them. This continues the movement to start referring to the index as a staging area (eg: the --staged alias to 'git diff'). Also adds a doc file for 'git stage' that basically points to the docs for 'git add'. Signed-off-by: Scott Chacon <schacon@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2008-11-23add strbuf_expand_dict_cb(), a helper for simple casesLibravatar René Scharfe1-0/+7
The new callback function strbuf_expand_dict_cb() can be used together with strbuf_expand() if there is only a small number of placeholders for static replacement texts. It expects its dictionary as an array of placeholder+value pairs as context parameter, terminated by an entry with the placeholder member set to NULL. The new helper is intended to aid converting the remaining calls of interpolate(). strbuf_expand() is smaller, more flexible and can be used to go faster than interpolate(), so it should replace the latter.
