Boyd Stephen Smith Jr	b80b5d6799	git-revert documentation: refer to new HOWTO on reverting faulty merges Signed-off-by: Boyd Stephen Smith Jr <bss@iguanasuicide.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>	16 years ago
Tarmigan Casebolt	3a634dcf51	Add hints to revert documentation about other ways to undo changes Based on its name, people may read the 'git revert' documentation when they want to undo local changes, especially people who have used other SCM's. 'git revert' may not be what they had in mind, but git provides several other ways to undo changes to files. We can help them by pointing them towards the git commands that do what they might want to do.

Petr Baudis	8bd867ee0e	Documentation/git-cherry-pick.txt et al.: Fix misleading -n description The manual page of git-cherry-pick and git-revert asserts that -n works primarily on the working tree, while in fact the primary object it operates on is the index, and the changes only "accidentally" propagate to the working tree. This e.g. leads innocent #git IRC folks to believe that you can use -n to prepare changes for git-add -i staging.

Jonathan Nieder	ba020ef5eb	manpages: italicize git command names (which were in teletype font) The names of git commands are not meant to be entered at the commandline; they are just names. So we render them in italics, as is usual for command names in manpages. Using doit () { perl -e 'for (<>) { s/\`(git-[^\`.])\`/'\''\1'\''/g; print }' } for i in git.txt config.txt diff.txt blame.txt fetch.txt i18n.txt \ merge.txt pretty.txt pull.txt rev.txt urls.txt do doit <"$i" >"$i+" && mv "$i+" "$i" done git diff .

Jonathan Nieder	b1889c36d8	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>	17 years ago
Stephan Beyer	3240240ff4	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.

Christian Couder	9e1f0a85c6	documentation: move git(7) to git(1) As the "git" man page describes the "git" command at the end-user level, it seems better to move it to man section 1.

Dan McGee	cfd9c27708	Allow cherry-pick (and revert) to add signoff line I often find myself pulling patches off of other peoples trees using cherry-pick, and following it with an immediate 'git commit --amend -s' command. Eliminate the need for a double commit by allowing signoff on a cherry-pick or revert. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dpmcgee@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>	17 years ago

Dan McGee	5162e69732	Documentation: rename gitlink macro to linkgit Between AsciiDoc 8.2.2 and 8.2.3, the following change was made to the stock Asciidoc configuration: @@ -149,7 +153,10 @@ # Inline macros. # Backslash prefix required for escape processing. # (?s) re flag for line spanning. -(?su)[\\]?(?P<name>\w(\w\|-)?):(?P<target>\S?)(\[(?P<attrlist>.?)\])= + +# Explicit so they can be nested. +(?su)[\\]?(?P<name>(http\|https\|ftp\|file\|mailto\|callto\|image\|link)):(?P<target>\S?)(\[(?P<attrlist>.?)\])= + # Anchor: [[[id]]]. Bibliographic anchor. (?su)[\\]?\[\[\[(?P<attrlist>[\w][\w-]?)\]\]\]=anchor3 # Anchor: [[id,xreflabel]] This default regex now matches explicit values, and unfortunately in this case gitlink was being matched by just 'link', causing the wrong inline macro template to be applied. By renaming the macro, we can avoid being matched by the wrong regex. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dpmcgee@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>	17 years ago
Junio C Hamano	7791ecbc62	revert/cherry-pick: work on merge commits as well Usually you cannot revert a merge because you do not know which side of the merge should be considered the mainline (iow, what change to reverse). With this patch, cherry-pick and revert learn -m (--mainline) option that lets you specify the parent number (starting from 1) of the mainline, so that you can: git revert -m 1 $merge to reverse the changes introduced by the $merge commit relative to its first parent, and: git cherry-pick -m 2 $merge to replay the changes introduced by the $merge commit relative to its second parent.

Junio C Hamano	a6080a0a44	War on whitespace This uses "git-apply --whitespace=strip" to fix whitespace errors that have crept in to our source files over time. There are a few files that need to have trailing whitespaces (most notably, test vectors). The results still passes the test, and build result in Documentation/ area is unchanged.

Shawn O. Pearce	41a5564e05	Refer users to git-rev-parse for revision specification syntax. The revision specification syntax (sometimes referred to as SHA1-expressions) is accepted almost everywhere in Git by almost every tool. Unfortunately it is only documented in git-rev-parse.txt, and most users don't know to look there. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

Petr Baudis	8bf14d6ef9	Document the --(no-)edit switch of git-revert and git-cherry-pick This switch was not documented properly. I decided not to mention the --no-edit switch in the git-cherry-pick documentation since we always default to no editing.

Jonas Fonseca	df8baa42fe	[PATCH] Random documentation fixes The fixes focuses on improving the HTML output. Most noteworthy: - Fix the Makefile to also make various *.html files depend on included files. - Consistently use 'NOTE: ...' instead of '[ ... ]' for additional info. - Fix ending '::' for description lists in OPTION section etc. - Fix paragraphs in description lists ending up as preformated text. - Always use listingblocks (preformatted text wrapped in lines with -----) for examples that span empty lines, so they are put in only one HTML block. - Use '1.' instead of '(1)' for numbered lists. - Fix linking to other GIT docs. - git-rev-list.txt: put option descriptions in an OPTION section.

Junio C Hamano	215a7ad1ef	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.
