2011-05-26docs: update status --porcelain formatLibravatar Jeff King1-4/+23
The --porcelain format was originally identical to the --short format, but designed to be stable as the short format changed. Since this was written, the short format picked up a few incompatible niceties, but this description was never changed. Let's mention the differences. While we're at it, let's add some sub-section headings to make the "output" section a little easier to navigate.

2011-04-15Documentation: hints for sending patches inline with ThunderbirdLibravatar Jonathan Nieder2-80/+84
The standard reference for this information is the article "Plain text e-mail - Thunderbird#Completely_plain_email" at kb.mozillazine.org, but the hints hidden away in git's SubmittingPatches file are more complete. Move them to the "git format-patch" manual so they can be installed with git and read by a wide audience. While at it, make some tweaks: - update "Approach #1" so it might work with Thunderbird 3; - remove ancient version numbers from the descriptions of both approaches so current readers might have more reason to complain if they don't work.

2011-04-15Documentation: describe the format of messages with inline patchesLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-0/+58
Add a DISCUSSION section to the "git format-patch" manual to encourage people to send patches in a form that can be applied by "git am" automatically. There are two such forms: 1. The default form in which most metadata goes in the mail header and the message body starts with the patch description; 2. The snipsnip form in which a message starts with pertinent discussion and ends with a patch after a "scissors" mark. The example requires QP encoding in the "Subject:" header intended for the mailer to give the reader a chance to reflect on that, rather than being startled by it later. By contrast, in-body "From:" and "Subject:" lines should be human-readable and not QP encoded.

Add a sentence to the discussion that when --octopus is used, we do expect '2' (the common ansestor across all) as the result.

I found that some doubled words had snuck back into projects from which I'd already removed them, so now there's a "syntax-check" makefile rule in gnulib to help prevent recurrence.
