2010-02-19Documentation: Fix indentation problem in git-commit(1)Libravatar Jacob Helwig1-3/+3
Ever since the "See linkgit:git-config[1]..." paragraph was added to the description for --untracked-files (d6293d1), the paragraphs for the following options were indented at the same level as the "See linkgit:git-config[1]" paragraph. This problem showed up in the manpages, but not in the HTML documentation. While this does fix the alignment of the options following --untracked-files in the manpage, the "See linkgit..." portion of the description does not retain its previous indentation level in the manpages, or HTML documentation.

2010-02-17docs: don't talk about $GIT_DIR/refs/ everywhereLibravatar Jeff King10-36/+39
It is misleading to say that we pull refs from $GIT_DIR/refs/*, because we may also consult the packed refs mechanism. These days we tend to treat the "refs hierarchy" as more of an abstract namespace that happens to be represented as $GIT_DIR/refs. At best, this is a minor inaccuracy, but at worst it can confuse users who then look in $GIT_DIR/refs and find that it is missing some of the refs they expected to see. This patch drops most uses of "$GIT_DIR/refs/*", changing them into just "refs/*", under the assumption that users can handle the concept of an abstract refs namespace. There are a few things to note: - most cases just dropped the $GIT_DIR/ portion. But for cases where that left _just_ the word "refs", I changed it to "refs/" to help indicate that it was a hierarchy. I didn't do the same for longer paths (e.g., "refs/heads" remained, instead of becoming "refs/heads/"). - in some cases, no change was made, as the text was explicitly about unpacked refs (e.g., the discussion in git-pack-refs). - In some cases it made sense instead to note the existence of packed refs (e.g., in check-ref-format and rev-parse).

When 921177f (Documentation: improve "add", "pull" and "format-patch" examples, 2008-05-07) converted this from enumeration header to displayed text, it failed to adjust for the AsciiDoc's rule to quote backslashes. In displayed text, backslash is shown verbatim, while in enumeration header, we need to double it. We have a similar construct in git-rm.txt documentation, and need to be careful when somebody wants to update it to match the style of the "git add" example.

Similar in spirit to 07cf0f2 (make --max-pack-size argument to 'git pack-object' count in bytes, 2010-02-03) which made the option by the same name to pack-objects, this counts the pack size limit in bytes. In order not to cause havoc with people used to the previous megabyte scale an integer smaller than 8192 is interpreted in megabytes but the user gets a warning. Also a minimum size of 1 MiB is enforced to avoid an explosion of pack files. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> Acked-by: Shawn O.

2010-02-04git-clean: fix the description of the default behaviorLibravatar Michael J Gruber1-2/+2
Currently, when called without -n and -f, git clean issues fatal: clean.requireForce not set and -n or -f not given; refusing to clean which leaves the user wondering why force is required when requireForce is not set. Looking up in git-clean(1) does not help because its description is wrong. Change it so that git clean issues fatal: clean.requireForce defaults to true and -n or -f not given; refusing to clean in this situation (and "...set to true..." when it is set) which makes it clearer that an unset config means true here, and adjust the documentation.

2010-02-03make --max-pack-size argument to 'git pack-object' count in bytesLibravatar Nicolas Pitre4-10/+22
The value passed to --max-pack-size used to count in MiB which was inconsistent with the corresponding configuration variable as well as other command arguments which are defined to count in bytes with an optional unit suffix. This brings --max-pack-size in line with the rest of Git. Also, in order not to cause havoc with people used to the previous megabyte scale, and because this is a sane thing to do anyway, a minimum size of 1 MiB is enforced to avoid an explosion of pack files.

commit 57bddb11 (Documentation/git-merge: reword references to "remote" and "pull", 2010-01-07) fixed the manual to drop the assumption that the other branch being merged is from a remote repository. Unfortunately, in a few places, to do so it introduced the antecedentless phrase "their versions". Worse, in passages like the following, 'they' is playing two roles. | highlighting changes from both the HEAD and their versions. | | * Look at the diffs on their own. 'git log --merge -p <path>' Using HEAD and MERGE_HEAD nicely assigns terminology to "our" and "their" sides. It also provides the reader with practice using names that git will recognize on the command line.

2010-01-24Documentation: simplify How Merge WorksLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-36/+16
The user most likely does not care about the exact order of operations because he cannot see it happening anyway. Instead, try to explain what it means to merge two commits into a single tree. While at it: - Change the heading to TRUE MERGE. The entire manual page is about how merges work. - Document MERGE_HEAD. It is a useful feature, since it makes the parents of the intended merge commit easier to refer to. - Do not assume commits named on the 'git merge' command line come from another repository. For simplicity, the discussion of conflicts still does assume that there is only one and it is a branch head. - Do not start list items with `code`. Otherwise, a toolchain bug produces a line break in the generated nroff, resulting in odd extra space.

2010-01-24Documentation: emphasize when git merge terminates earlyLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-10/+21
A merge-based operation in git can fail in two ways: one that stops before touching anything, or one that goes ahead and results in conflicts. As the 'git merge' manual explains: | A merge is always between the current `HEAD` and one or more | commits (usually, branch head or tag), and the index file must | match the tree of `HEAD` commit (i.e. the contents of the last commit) | when it starts out. Unfortunately, the placement of this sentence makes it easy to skip over, and its formulation leaves the important point, that any other attempted merge will be gracefully aborted, unspoken. So give this point its own section and expand upon it. Probably this could be simplified somewhat: after all, a change registered in the index is just a special kind of local uncommited change, so the second added paragraph is only a special case of the first. It seemed more helpful to be explicit here. Inspired by <http://gitster.livejournal.com/25801.html>.
