2010-08-09Documentation: add a FILES section for show-refLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-1/+7
A peek at where the refs are kept might help understanding, even if, as the DESCRIPTION section suggests, direct access is not part of the public API. Balance that out with a pointer to update-ref.

2010-08-09Documentation/git-log: Clarify --full-diffLibravatar Michael J Gruber1-0/+3
The current description gives the impression that "--full-diff" affects "log -p" only. Make it clearer that it affects all diff-based output types. Signed-off-by: Michael J Gruber <git@drmicha.warpmail.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

These options take an optional argument, but this optional argument was not documented. Original patch by Matthieu Moy, but documentation for -B mostly copied from the explanations of Junio C Hamano.

2010-08-02Documentation/rev-parse: quoting is required with --parseoptLibravatar Thomas Rast1-2/+5
When calling rev-parse --parseopt, as in the (now fixed) documented example eval "$(echo "$OPTS_SPEC" | git rev-parse --parseopt -- "$@" || echo exit $?)" the outermost quoting is required, as otherwise all runs of arbitrary whitespace inside the resulting 'set -- ...' call would be collapsed into a single space. This was exposed as a result of our new use of cat <<\EOF since 47e9cd2 (parseopt: wrap rev-parse --parseopt usage for eval consumption, 2010-06-12), but has always been a problem when handling arguments containing e.g. newlines. Point this out in the documentation, and in particular correct the example that did not have the quotes.

2010-07-30git svn: add an option to recode pathnamesLibravatar Dmitry Statyvka1-0/+6
Introduce a new option 'svn.pathnameencoding' that instructs git svn to recode pathnames to a given encoding. It can be used by windows users and by those who work in non-utf8 locales to avoid corrupted file names with non-ascii characters. [rp: renamed the option and added manpage documentation] Signed-off-by: Dmitry Statyvka <dstatyvka@tmsoft-ltd.kiev.ua> Signed-off-by: Robert Pollak <robert.pollak@gmail.com> Acked-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net>
2010-07-28Document ls-files -t as semi-obsolete.Libravatar Matthieu Moy1-2/+10
The behavior of "git ls-files -t" is very misleading (see http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/126516 and http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/144394/focus=144397 for examples of mislead users) and badly documented, hence we point the users to superior alternatives. The feature is marked as "semi-obsolete" but not "scheduled for removal" since it's a plumbing command, scripts might use it, and Git testsuite already uses it to test the state of the index.

2010-07-28SubmittingPatches: Cite the 50 char subject limitLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-1/+2
Change the SubmittingPatches recommendations to mention the 50 character soft limit on patch subject lines. 50 characters is the soft limit mentioned in git-commit(1) and gittutorial(7), it's also the point at which Gitweb, GitHub and various other Git front ends start abbreviating the commit message.

2010-07-28SubmittingPatches: Clarify the Signed-off-by rulesLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-5/+3
The wording of the Signed-off-by rules could be read as stating that S-O-B should only be added when the submitter considered the patch ready for inclusion in git.git. We also want Signed-off-by to be used for e.g. RFC patches, in case someone wants to dig an old patch out of the archive and improve it. Change the wording to recommend a Signed-off-by for all submitted patches. The problem with the wording came up in the "[PATCH/RFC] Hacky version of a glob() driven config include" thread[1]. Bert Wesarg suggested[2] that it be removed to avoid confusion, which this change implements. 1. <1273180440-8641-1-git-send-email-avarab@gmail.com> 2. <AANLkTimziTKL13VKIOcaS1TX1F_xvTVjH8Q398Yx36Us@mail.gmail.com> Suggested-by: Bert Wesarg <bert.wesarg@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2010-07-19git submodule add: Require the new --force option to add ignored pathsLibravatar Jens Lehmann1-1/+6
To make the behavior of "git submodule add" more consistent with "git add" ignored submodule paths should not be silently added when they match an entry in a .gitignore file. To be able to override that default behavior in the same way as we can do that for "git add", the new option "--force" is introduced.

There is already excellent documentation for this facility in git-submodule.1, but it is not so discoverable.
