2012-03-26Documentation: improve description of GIT_EDITOR and preference orderLibravatar Rodrigo Silva (MestreLion)1-0/+6
Previously GIT_EDITOR was not listed in git(1) "Environment Variables" section, which could be very confusing to users. Include it in "other" subsection along with a link to git-var(1), since that is the page that fully describes all places where editor can be set and also their preference order. Also, git-var(1) did not say that hardcoded fallback 'vi' may have been changed at build time. A user could be puzzled if 'nano' pops up even when none of the mentioned environment vars or config.editor are set. Clarify this. Ideally, the build system should be changed to reflect the chosen fallback editor when creating the man pages. Not sure if that is even possible though.

2012-03-26documentation: fix alphabetic ordered list for git-rebase man pageLibravatar Nelson Benitez Leon1-2/+5
An alphabetic ordered list (a.) is converted to numerical in the man page (1.) so context comments naming 'a' were confusing, fix that by not using ordered list notation for 'a' anb 'b' items.

We have had these options as harmless no-op for more than 3 years without officially deprecating them. Let's announce the deprecation and start warning against their use, but without failing the command just not yet, so that we can later repurpose the option if we want to in the future.

2012-03-04http.proxy: also mention https_proxy and all_proxyLibravatar Clemens Buchacher1-3/+4
The current wording of the http.proxy documentation suggests that http_proxy is somehow equivalent to http.proxy. However, while http.proxy (by the means of curl's CURLOPT_PROXY option) overrides the proxy for both HTTP and HTTPS protocols, the http_proxy environment variable is used only for HTTP. But since the docs mention only http_proxy, a user might expect it to apply to all HTTP-like protocols. Avoid any such misunderstanding by explicitly mentioning https_proxy and all_proxy as well. Also replace linkgit:curl[1] with a literal 'curl(1)', because the former gets translated to a dead link in the HTML pages.

We explained <rev>~<n> as <n>th generation grand-parent, but a reader got confused by the "grand-" part when <n> is 1. Reword it with "ancestor"; with the "generation" and "following only the first parents" around there, what we try to describe should be clear enough now.
