Big tool rename. As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch. The primary differences since 0.99.6 are: (1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if something is implemented as a shell script or not. (2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with 'index' if that is what they mean. There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward compatibility support is expected to be removed in the near future.

git-ls-remote(1)

ls-remote: drop storing operation and add documentation. The store operation was never useful because we needed to fetch the objects needed to complete the reference. Remove it. The fetch command fetch multiple references shortly to replace the lost "store" functionality in more a generic way. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

[verse]
Documentation: be consistent about "git-" versus "git " Since the git-* commands are not installed in $(bindir), using "git-command <parameters>" in examples in the documentation is not a good idea. On the other hand, it is nice to be able to refer to each command using one hyphenated word. (There is no escaping it, anyway: man page names cannot have spaces in them.) This patch retains the dash in naming an operation, command, program, process, or action. Complete command lines that can be entered at a shell (i.e., without options omitted) are made to use the dashless form. The changes consist only of replacing some spaces with hyphens and vice versa. After a "s/ /-/g", the unpatched and patched versions are identical. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@uchicago.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

ls-remote: the --exit-code option reports "no matching refs" The "git ls-remote" uses its exit status to indicate if it successfully talked with the remote repository. A new option "--exit-code" makes the command exit with status "2" when there is no refs to be listed, even when the command successfully talked with the remote repository. This way, the caller can tell if we failed to contact the remote, or the remote did not have what we wanted to see. Of course, you can inspect the output from the command, which has been and will continue to be a valid way to check the same thing.

OPTIONS
-------
Docs: Use "-l::\n--long\n" format in OPTIONS sections The OPTIONS section of a documentation file contains a list of the options a git command accepts. Currently there are several variants to describe the case that different options (almost) do the same in the OPTIONS section. Some are: -f, --foo:: -f|--foo:: -f | --foo:: But AsciiDoc has the special form: -f:: --foo:: This patch applies this form to the documentation of the whole git suite, and removes useless em-dash prevention, so \--foo becomes --foo.

Limit to only refs/heads and refs/tags, respectively.
These options are _not_ mutually exclusive; when given
both, references stored in refs/heads and refs/tags are
displayed.

--exit-code::
Exit with status "2" when no matching refs are found in the remote
repository. Usually the command exits with status "0" to indicate
it successfully talked with the remote repository, whether it
found any matching refs.
ls-remote: document the '--get-url' option While looking for a way to expand the URL of a remote that uses a 'url.<name>.insteadOf' config option I stumbled over the undocumented '--get-url' option of 'git ls-remote'. This adds some minimum documentation for that option. And while at it, also add that option to the '-h' output.

--get-url::
Expand the URL of the given remote repository taking into account any
"url.<base>.insteadOf" config setting (See linkgit:git-config[1]) and
exit without talking to the remote.
