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.

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.

2007-09-26apply: get rid of --index-info in favor of --build-fake-ancestorLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-4/+7
git-am used "git apply -z --index-info" to find the original versions of the files touched by the diff, to be able to do an inexpensive three-way merge. This operation makes only sense in a repository, since the index information in the diff refers to blobs, which have to be present in the current repository. Therefore, teach "git apply" a mode to write out the result as an index file to begin with, obviating the need for scripts to do it themselves. The sole user for --index-info is "git am" is converted to use --build-fake-ancestor in this patch.

The tinyurl is incorrect -- it attempts to go to groups.osdl.org, which is gone. Either use the full URL (in patch) or create a new tinyurl for this URL. Is the web page (where I first saw this problem) generated from this txt file? http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/core-tutorial.html If not, it needs to be updated also.

The scripts taken from Tony Luck's howto assume all refs can be found under .git/refs, but this is not necessarily true, especially since git-gc runs git-pack-refs.

The example provided with the update-hook-example does not work on either bash 2.05b.0(1)-release nor 3.1.17(1)-release. The matcher did not match the lines that it advertised to match, such as: refs/heads/bw/ linus refs/heads/tmp/* * In POSIX 1003.2 regular expressions, the star (*), is not an wildcard meaning "match everything", it matches 0 or more matches of the atom preceding it. So to match "refs/heads/bw/topic-branch", the matcher should be written as "refs/heads/bw/.*" to match "refs/heads/bw/" and everything after it. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
