2007-11-25user-manual: recovering from corruptionLibravatar J. Bruce Fields1-1/+130
Some instructions on dealing with corruption of the object database. Most of this text is from an example by Linus, identified by Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> with a little further editing by me. Signed-off-by: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@citi.umich.edu>
2007-11-25user-manual: clarify language about "modifying" old commitsLibravatar J. Bruce Fields1-9/+11
It's important to remember that git doesn't really allowing "editing" or "modifying" commits, only replacing them by new commits. Redo some of the language to make this clearer. Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu>

2007-11-20Doc fix for git-reflog: mention @{...} syntax, and <ref> in synopsys.Libravatar Matthieu Moy1-4/+11
The HEAD@{...} syntax was documented in git-rev-parse manpage, which is hard to find by someone looking for the documentation of porcelain. git-reflog is probably the place where one expects to find this. While I'm there, "git revlog show whatever" was also undocumented. Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-11-20config: clarify compression defaultsLibravatar Brian Downing1-1/+5
* Clarify that core.compression provides a system-wide default to other compression parameters. * Explain that the default for pack.compression, -1, is "a default compromise between speed and compression (currently equivalent to level 6)" according to zlib.h.

2007-11-20config: correct core.loosecompression documentationLibravatar Brian Downing1-1/+1
* core.loosecompression stated that the default was "0 (best speed)", when in fact 0 is "no compression", and the default is Z_BEST_SPEED, which is 1. Signed-off-by: Brian Downing <bdowning@lavos.net> Acked-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2007-11-18user-manual: mention "..." in "Generating diffs", etc.Libravatar J. Bruce Fields1-4/+11
We should mention the use of the "..." syntax for git-diff here. The note about the difference between diff and the combined output of git-format-patch then no longer fits so well, so remove it. Add a reference to the git-format-patch[1] manpage. Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu>
2007-11-18user-manual: Add section "Why bisecting merge commits can be harder ..."Libravatar Steffen Prohaska1-0/+66
This commit adds a discussion of the challenge of bisecting merge commits to the user manual. The original author is Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>, who posted the text to the mailing list <http://marc.info/?l=git&m=119403257315527&w=2>. His email was adapted for the manual. The discussion is added to "Rewriting history and maintainig patch series". The text added requires good understanding of merging and rebasing. Therefore it should not be placed too early in the manual. Right after the section on "Problems with rewriting history", the discussion of bisect gives another reason for linearizing as much of the history as possible. The text includes suggestions and fixes by Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> and Benoit Sigoure <tsuna@lrde.epita.fr>. Signed-off-by: Steffen Prohaska <prohaska@zib.de> Signed-off-by: J.

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>

Even if our code is quite a good documentation for our coding style, some people seem to prefer a document describing it.

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.

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.

2007-10-30git-merge: document but discourage the historical syntaxLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-5/+6
Historically "git merge" took its command line arguments in a rather strange order. Document the historical syntax, and also document clearly that it is not encouraged in new scripts. There is no reason to deprecate the historical syntax, as the current code can sanely tell which syntax the caller is using, and existing scripts by people do use the historical syntax.
