2013-02-18user-manual: use -o latest.tar.gz to create a gzipped tarballLibravatar W. Trevor King1-3/+12
This functionality was introduced by 0e804e09 (archive: provide builtin .tar.gz filter, 2011-07-21) for v1.7.7. Signed-off-by: W. Trevor King <wking@tremily.us> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-02-18user-manual: use 'git config --global user.*' for setupLibravatar W. Trevor King1-5/+13
A simple command line call is easier than spawning an editor, especially for folks new to ideas like the "command line" and "text editors". This is also the approach suggested by 'git commit' if you try and commit without having configured user.name or user.email. Signed-off-by: W.

2013-02-18user-manual: mention 'git remote add' for remote branch configLibravatar W. Trevor King1-27/+13
I hardly ever setup remote.<name>.url using 'git config'. While it may be instructive to do so, we should also point out 'git remote add'. Signed-off-by: W. Trevor King <wking@tremily.us> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2013-02-18user-manual: use 'remote add' to setup push URLsLibravatar W. Trevor King1-5/+10
There is no need to use here documents to setup this configuration. It is easier, less confusing, and more robust to use `git remote add` directly. Signed-off-by: W. Trevor King <wking@tremily.us> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-02-15git.txt: update description of the configuration mechanismLibravatar Matthieu Moy1-6/+5
The old Git version where it appeared is now useful only to historians, not to normal users. Also, the text was mentioning only the per-repo config file, but this is a good place to teach that customization can also be made per-user. While at it, remove a now-defunct e-mail from an example.

2013-02-12Replace filepattern with pathspec for consistencyLibravatar Matthieu Moy1-5/+5
pathspec is the most widely used term, and is the one defined in gitglossary.txt. <filepattern> was used only in the synopsys for git-add and git-commit, and in git-add.txt. Get rid of it. This patch is obtained with by running: perl -pi -e 's/filepattern/pathspec/' `git grep -l filepattern` Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-02-11git-bisect.txt: clarify that reset quits bisectLibravatar Michael J Gruber1-1/+6
"reset" can be easily misunderstood as resetting a bisect session to its start without finishing it. Clarify that it actually quits the bisect session.

2013-02-10user-manual: Rewrite git-gc section for automatic packingLibravatar W. Trevor King1-12/+6

2013-02-10user-manual: Fix 'http' -> 'HTTP' typosLibravatar W. Trevor King1-3/+3
HTTP is an acronym which has not (yet) made the transition to word status (unlike "laser", probably because lasers are inherently cooler than HTTP ;). Signed-off-by: W. Trevor King <wking@tremily.us> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-02-10user-manual: Fix 'both: so' -> 'both; so' typoLibravatar W. Trevor King1-1/+1
The clause "so `git log ...` will return no commits..." is independent, not a description of "both", so a semicolon is more appropriate. Signed-off-by: W. Trevor King <wking@tremily.us> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2013-02-01Rename {git- => git}remote-helpers.txtLibravatar John Keeping5-7/+23
When looking up a topic via "git help <topic>", git-help prepends "git-" to topics that are the names of commands (either builtin or found on the path) and "git" (no hyphen) to any other topic name. "git-remote-helpers" is not the name of a command, so "git help remote-helpers" looks for "gitremote-helpers" and does not find it. Fix this by renaming "git-remote-helpers.txt" to "gitremote-helpers.txt". Signed-off-by: John Keeping <john@keeping.me.uk> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-01-31doc: mention tracking for pull.defaultLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+2
When looking at a configuration file edited long time ago, a user may find 'pull.default = tracking' and wonder what it means, but earlier we stopped mentioning this value, even though the code still support it and more importantly, we have no intention to force old timers to update their configuration files. Instead of not mentioning it, add it to the description in a way that makes it clear that users have no reason to add new uses of it preferring over 'upstream', by not listing it as a separate item on the same footing as other values but as a deprecated synonym of the 'upstream' in its description.

2013-01-24git-cvsimport.txt: cvsps-2 is deprecatedLibravatar John Keeping1-0/+6
git-cvsimport relies on version 2 of cvsps and does not work with the new version 3. Since cvsps 3.x does not currently work as well as version 2 for incremental import, document this fact. Specifically, there is no way to make new git-cvsimport that supports cvsps 3.x and have a seamless transition for existing users since cvsps 3.x needs a time from which to continue importing and git-cvsimport does not save the time of the last import or import into a specific namespace so there is no safe way to calculate the time of the last import.
