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 For (1), they are out of date and incomplete.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 For (2), the correct contact point is generally git@vger, and even if you wanted to cc the contact point, the out-of-date and incomplete fields mean you're likely sending to somebody useless.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
Thiago Farina	3ddcb1981b	Update "describe" documentation to match reality A sample "git describe -h" did not match what the program actually says. Signed-off-by: Thiago Farina <tfransosi@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>	16 years ago
Chris Johnsen	dcb11263bc	Documentation: remove extra quoting/emphasis around literal texts If literal text (asciidoc `...`) can be rendered in a differently from normal text for each output format (man, HTML), then we do not need extra quotes or other wrapping around inline literal text segments. config.txt Change '`...`' to `...`. In asciidoc, the single quotes provide emphasis, literal text should be distintive enough. Change "`...`" to `...`. These double quotes do not work if present in the described config value, so drop them. git-checkout.txt Change "`...`" to `...` or `"..."`. All instances are command line argument examples. One "`-`" becomes `-`. Two others are involve curly braces, so move the double quotes inside the literal region to indicate that they might need to be quoted on the command line of certain shells (tcsh). git-merge.txt Change "`...`" to `...`. All instances are used to describe merge conflict markers. The quotes should are not important. git-rev-parse.txt Change "`...`" to `...`. All instances are around command line arguments where no in-shell quoting should be necessary. gitcli.txt Change `"..."` to `...`. All instances are around command line examples or single command arguments. They do not semanticly belong inside the literal text, and they are not needed outside it. glossary-content.txt user-manual.txt Change "`...`" to `...`. All instances were around command lines.

Nanako Shiraishi	aa0c1f2001	gitcli: Document meaning of --cached and --index We saw this explanation repeated on the mailing list a few times. Even though the description of individual options to particular commands are explained in their manual pages, the reason behind choosing which is which has not been clearly explained in any of the documentation.

Junio C Hamano	d0658ec6fa	Document the double-dash "rev -- path" disambiguator This is a very well established command line convention that old residents of the git mailing list knew by heart and nobody even thought about documenting it explicitly, which was not very nice.

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	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
