* maint-1.6.0: Fix Documentation for git-describe
2009-01-23Fix Documentation for git-describeLibravatar Boyd Stephen Smith Jr1-1/+1
The documentation for git-describe says the default abbreviation is 8 hexadecimal digits while cache.c clearly shows DEFAULT_ABBREV set to 7. This patch corrects the documentation. Signed-off-by: Boyd Stephen Smith Jr <bss@iguanasuicide.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2009-01-18Documentation: mention branches rather than headsLibravatar Anders Melchiorsen1-2/+2
The "matching refs" semantics works only on matching branches these days. Instead of using "heads" which traditionally has been used more or less interchangeably with "refs", say "branch" explicitly here.

2009-01-18Documentation: remove a redundant elaborationLibravatar Anders Melchiorsen1-2/+1
The comment in parentheses is wrong, as one has to leave out both the colon and <dst>. This situation is covered by the section a few lines down: A parameter <ref> without a colon pushes the <ref> from the source repository to the destination repository under the same name. So, just remove the parentheses. Signed-off-by: Anders Melchiorsen <mail@cup.kalibalik.dk> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Command line options can share the same paragraph of description, if they are related or synonymous. In these cases they should be written among each other, so that asciidoc can format them itself.

2009-01-01objects to be pruned immediately don't have to be loosenedLibravatar Nicolas Pitre1-1/+3
When there is no grace period before pruning unreferenced objects, it is pointless to push those objects in their loose form just to delete them right away. Also be more explicit about the possibility of using "now" in the gc.pruneexpire config variable (needed for the above behavior to happen).

Instead of listing short option (e.g. "-U<n>") as a shorthand for its longer counterpart (e.g. "--unified=<n>"), list the synonyms together. It saves one indirection to find what the reader wants. Signed-off-by: jidanni <jidanni@jidanni.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

The description on .mailmap made it seem like they are only useful for commits with a wrong address for an author, but they are about fixing the real name. Explain this better in the text, and replace the existing example with a new one that hopefully makes things clearer.

2008-12-21doc/git-fsck: change the way for getting heads' SHA1sLibravatar Markus Heidelberg1-1/+2
The straightforward way with using 'cat .git/refs/heads/*' doesn't work with packed refs as well as branches of the form topic/topic1.

2008-12-19fast-export: deal with tag objects that do not have a taggerLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+6
When no tagger was found (old Git produced tags like this), no "tagger" line is printed (but this is incompatible with the current git fast-import). Alternatively, you can pass the option --fake-missing-tagger, forcing fast-export to fake a tagger Unspecified Tagger <no-tagger> with a tag date of the beginning of (Unix) time in the case of a missing tagger, so that fast-import is still able to import the result.

2008-12-17Clarify documentation of "git checkout <tree-ish> paths" syntaxLibravatar Nanako Shiraishi1-1/+1
The SYNOPSIS section of the manual writes: git checkout [options] [<tree-ish>] [--] <paths>... but the DESCRIPTION says that this form checks the paths out "from the index, or from a named commit." A later sentence refers to the same argument as "<tree-ish> argument", but it is not clear that these two sentences are talking about the same command line argument for first-time readers.
