2012-07-24Enumerate revision range specifiers in the documentationLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+31
It was a bit hard to learn how <rev>^@, <rev>^! and various other forms of range specifiers are used, because they were discussed mostly in the prose part of the documentation, unlike various forms of extended SHA-1 expressions that are listed in an enumerated list. Also add a few more examples showing use of <rev>, <rev>..<rev> and <rev>^! forms, stolen from a patch by Max Horn. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-07-23commit: document the temporary commit message fileLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+9
We do not document COMMIT_EDITMSG at all, but users may want to know about it for two reasons: 1. They may want to tell their editor to configure itself for formatting a commit message. 2. If a commit is aborted by an error, the user may want to recover the commit message they typed. Let's put a note in git-commit(1).

2012-07-23mergetool: support --tool-help option like difftool doesLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+3
This way we do not have to risk the list of tools going out of sync between the implementation and the documentation. In the same spirit as bf73fc2 (difftool: print list of valid tools with '--tool-help', 2012-03-29), trim the list of merge backends in the documentation. We do not want to have a complete list of valid tools; we only want a list to help people guess what kind of things the tools do to be specified there, and refer them to --tool-help for a complete list.

2012-07-13am: indicate where a failed patch is to be foundLibravatar Paul Gortmaker1-0/+3
If "git am" fails to apply something, the end user may need to know where to find the patch that failed to apply, so that the user can do other things (e.g. trying "GNU patch" on it, running "diffstat" to see what it tried to change, etc.) The input to "am" may have contained more than one patch, or the message may have been MIME encoded, and knowing what the user fed to "am" does not help very much for this purpose. Also introduce advice.amworkdir configuration to allow people who learned where to look to squelch this message.

2012-06-20docs: always define git-relative-html-prefix attributeLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+2
Commit fe77b41 introduced a new attribute to let the linkgit macro create cross-directory HTML references from the technical/ and howto/ subdirectories back to the main documentation. We define that attribute to "../" on the command-line when building inside those subdirectories, and otherwise leave it unset under the assumption that it would default to being blank. Instead, asciidoc omits the link entirely, leading to broken documentation. Fix this by defining git-relative-html-prefix to blank in asciidoc.conf (and an instance on the command-line, when present, will override it).

2012-06-19git-commit-tree(1): update synopsisLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1

2012-06-15git-cherry-pick.txt: clarify the use of revision range notationLibravatar Carlos Martín Nieto1-1/+12
When given a set of commits, cherry-pick will apply the changes for all of them. Specifying a simple range will also work as expected. This can lead the user to think that git cherry-pick A B..C may apply A and then B..C, but that is not what happens. Instead the revs are given to a single invocation of rev-list, which will consider A and C as positive revs and B as a negative one. The commit A will not be used if it is an ancestor of B. Add a note about this and add an example with this particular syntax, which has shown up on the list a few times.

2012-06-15Documentation: --no-walk is no-op if range is specifiedLibravatar Carlos Martín Nieto1-0/+1

Finishing touches... * mm/api-credentials-doc: docs: fix cross-directory linkgit references
2012-06-08docs: fix cross-directory linkgit referencesLibravatar Jeff King5-6/+8
Most of our documentation is in a single directory, so using linkgit:git-config[1] just generates a relative link in the same directory. However, this is not the case with the API documentation in technical/*, which need to refer to git-config from the parent directory. We can fix this by passing a special prefix attribute when building in a subdirectory, and respecting that prefix in our linkgit definitions. We only have to modify the html linkgit definition. For manpages, we can ignore this for two reasons: 1. we do not generate actual links to the file in manpages, but instead just give the name and section of the linked manpage 2. we do not currently build manpages for subdirectories, only html Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2012-06-04api-credentials.txt: show the big picture firstLibravatar Matthieu Moy1-3/+47
The API documentation targets two kinds of developers: those using the C API, and those writing remote-helpers. The document was not clear about which part was useful to which category, and for example, the C API could be mistakenly thought as an API for writting remote helpers.
