2007-11-14user-manual: minor rewording for clarity.Libravatar Sergei Organov1-2/+2
Junio screwed up when applying the previous round of the patch; rewording from "previous" to "old" does make the description clearer. Also revert the rewording from head to branch. The description is talking about the branch's tip commit and using the word head is clearer. Based on input from Sergei and Bruce. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2007-11-14Documentation: Fix man page breakage with DocBook XSL v1.72Libravatar Jonas Fonseca2-3/+10
From version 1.72 it will replace all dots in roff requests with U+2302 ("house" character), and add escaping in output for all instances of dot that are not in roff requests. This caused the ".ft" hack forcing monospace font in listingblocks to end up as "\&.ft" and being visible in the resulting man page. The fix adds a DOCBOOK_XSL_172 build variable that will disable the hack. To allow this variable to be defined in config.mak it also moves build variable handling below the inclusion of config.mak.

2007-11-14replace reference to git-rm with git-reset in git-commit docLibravatar Jing Xue2-4/+8
The message in git-commit suggesting to use 'git rm --cached' to unstage is just plain wrong. It really should mention 'git reset'. Suggested by Jan Hudec. Signed-off-by: Jing Xue <jingxue@digizenstudio.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2007-11-02Documentation: quote commit messages consistently.Libravatar Sergei Organov3-7/+7
Documentation quotes commit messages 14 times with double-quotes, and 7 times with single-quotes. The patch turns everything to double-quotes. A nice side effect is that documentation becomes more Windoze-friendly as AFAIK single quotes won't work there.

2007-11-02make the pack index version configurableLibravatar Nicolas Pitre1-0/+9
It is a good idea to use pack index version 2 all the time since it has proper protection against propagation of certain pack corruptions when repacking which is not possible with index version 1, as demonstrated in test t5302. Hence this config option. The default is still pack index version 1. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

git-diff.txt includes diff-options.txt which for the -p option refers to a section "generating patches.." which is missing from the git-diff documentation.
