Junio C Hamano	8c80ff362f	Document merge.branchdesc configuration variable This was part of the "branch description" feature in the larger "help people communicate better during their pull based workflow" topic, but was never documented.

Jeff King	48bb914ed6	doc: drop author/documentation sections from most pages The point of these sections is generally to: 1. Give credit where it is due. 2. Give the reader an idea of where to ask questions or file bug reports. But they don't do a good job of either case. For (1), they are out of date and incomplete. A much more accurate answer can be gotten through shortlog or blame. For (2), the correct contact point is generally git@vger, and even if you wanted to cc the contact point, the out-of-date and incomplete fields mean you're likely sending to somebody useless. So let's drop the fields entirely from all manpages except git(1) itself. We already point people to the mailing list for bug reports there, and we can update the Authors section to give credit to the major contributors and point to shortlog and blame for more information. Each page has a "This is part of git" footer, so people can follow that to the main git manpage.	14 years ago

Ramkumar Ramachandra	bda3b8ff17	merge: Make 'merge.log' an integer or boolean option Make 'merge.log' an integer or boolean option to set the number of shortlog entries to display in the merge commit. Note that it defaults to false, and that true means a default value of 20. Also update corresponding documentation.

Ramkumar Ramachandra	96e9420cd3	merge: Make '--log' an integer option for number of shortlog entries Change the command-line '--log' option from a boolean option to an integer option, and parse the optional integer provided on the command-line into the 'shortlog_len' variable. Also update the documentation accordingly.

Jonathan Nieder	2102440c17	fmt-merge-msg -m to override merge title Since v1.7.1.1~23^2 (merge: --log appends shortlog to message if specified, 2010-05-11), the fmt-merge-msg backend supports custom text to override the merge title "Merge <foo> into <bar>". Expose this functionality for scripted callers. Example: git fmt-merge-msg --log -m \ "$(printf '%s\n' \ "Merge branch 'api-cleanup' into feature" \ '' \ 'This is to use a few functions refactored for this purpose.' )" <.git/FETCH_HEAD Cc: Tay Ray Chuan <rctay89@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>	14 years ago
Thomas Rast	0b444cdb19	Documentation: spell 'git cmd' without dash throughout The documentation was quite inconsistent when spelling 'git cmd' if it only refers to the program, not to some specific invocation syntax: both 'git-cmd' and 'git cmd' spellings exist. The current trend goes towards dashless forms, and there is precedent in `647ac70` (git-svn.txt: stop using dash-form of commands., 2009-07-07) to actively eliminate the dashed variants. Replace 'git-cmd' with 'git cmd' throughout, except where git-shell, git-cvsserver, git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack, and git-upload-archive are concerned, because those really live in the $PATH.	15 years ago
Jonathan Nieder	0f8a02c640	Documentation: git fmt-merge-msg does not have to be a script The fmt-merge-message builtin can be invoked as "git fmt-merge-msg" rather than through the hard link in GIT_EXEC_PATH. Although this is unlikely to confuse most script writers, it should not hurt to make the documentation a little clearer anyway.

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	483bc4f045	Documentation formatting and cleanup Following what appears to be the predominant style, format names of commands and commandlines both as `teletype text`. While we're at it, add articles ("a" and "the") in some places, italicize the name of the command in the manual page synopsis line, and add a comma or two where it seems appropriate.

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.

SZEDER Gábor	6cd9cfefc5	fmt-merge-msg: add '--(no-)log' options and 'merge.log' config variable These are new synonyms to the '--(no-)summary' option and the 'merge.summary' config variable, but are consistent with the soon to be added 'merge --(no-)log' options. The 'merge.summary' config variable and '--(no-)summary' options are still accepted, but are advertised to be removed in the future. 'merge.log' takes precedence over 'merge.summary' if they are both set inconsistently. Update documentation and tests accordingly.
