2015-05-28submodule doc: reorder introductory paragraphsLibravatar Stefan Beller1-28/+22
It's better to start the man page with a description of what submodules actually are, instead of saying what they are not. Reorder the paragraphs such that - the first short paragraph introduces the submodule concept, - the second paragraph highlights the usage of the submodule command, - the third paragraph giving background information, and finally - the fourth paragraph discusing alternatives such as subtrees and remotes, which we don't want to be confused with. This ordering deepens the knowledge on submodules with each paragraph. First the basic questions like "How/what" will be answered, while the underlying concepts will be taught at a later time. Making sure it is not confused with subtrees and remotes is not really enhancing knowledge of submodules itself, but rather painting the big picture of git concepts, so you could also argue to have it as the second paragraph. Personally I think this may confuse readers, specially newcomers though. Additionally to reordering the paragraphs, they have been slightly reworded.

2015-05-28Documentation: include 'merge.branchdesc' for merge and config as wellLibravatar SZEDER Gábor3-16/+12
'merge.branchdesc' is only mentioned in the docs of 'git fmt-merge-msg'. The description of 'merge.log' is already duplicated between 'merge-config.txt' and 'git-fmt-merge-msg.txt'; instead of duplicating the description of another config variable, extract the descriptions of both of these variables from 'git-fmt-merge-msg.txt' into a separate file and include it there and in 'merge-config.txt'. Leave 'merge.summary' only in git-fmt-merge-msg.txt, as it is marked as deprecated. Signed-off-by: SZEDER Gábor <szeder@ira.uka.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2015-05-26diff.c: --ws-error-highlight=<kind> optionLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+10
Traditionally, we only cared about whitespace breakages introduced in new lines. Some people want to paint whitespace breakages on old lines, too. When they see a whitespace breakage on a new line, they can spot the same kind of whitespace breakage on the corresponding old line and want to say "Ah, those breakages are there but they were inherited from the original, so let's not touch them for now." Introduce `--ws-error-highlight=<kind>` option, that lets them pass a comma separated list of `old`, `new`, and `context` to specify what lines to highlight whitespace errors on.
