2017-01-19contrib: remove git-convert-objectsLibravatar Stefan Beller1-29/+0
git-convert-objects, originally named git-convert-cache was used in early 2005 to convert ancient repositories where objects are named after the hash of their compressed contents to the current object naming sheme where they are named after the hash of their pre-compression contents. By now the need for conversion of the very early repositories is less relevant, we no longer need to keep it in contrib; remove it.

2014-08-07various contrib: Fix links in man pagesLibravatar Stefan Beller1-1/+1
Inspired by 2147fa7e (2014-07-31 git-push: fix link in man page), I grepped through the whole tree searching for 'gitlink:' occurrences. Signed-off-by: Stefan Beller <stefanbeller@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2011-07-06Documentation: use [verse] for SYNOPSIS sectionsLibravatar Martin von Zweigbergk1-0/+1
The SYNOPSIS sections of most commands that span several lines already use [verse] to retain line breaks. Most commands that don't span several lines seem not to use [verse]. In the HTML output, [verse] does not only preserve line breaks, but also makes the section indented, which causes a slight inconsistency between commands that use [verse] and those that don't. Use [verse] in all SYNOPSIS sections for consistency. Also remove the blank lines from git-fetch.txt and git-rebase.txt to align with the other man pages. In the case of git-rebase.txt, which already uses [verse], the blank line makes the [verse] not apply to the last line, so removing the blank line also makes the formatting within the document more consistent. While at it, add single quotes to 'git cvsimport' for consistency with other commands.

2007-09-25Move convert-objects to contrib.Libravatar Matt Kraai1-0/+28
convert-objects was needed to convert from an old-style repository, which hashed the compressed contents and used a different date format. Such repositories are presumably no longer common and, if such conversions are necessary, should be done by writing a frontend for git-fast-import. Linus, the original author, is OK with moving it to contrib. Signed-off-by: Matt Kraai <kraai@ftbfs.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
