Jonathan Nieder	35297089e5	shell: new no-interactive-login command to print a custom message If I disable git-shell's interactive mode by removing the ~/git-shell-commands directory, attempts to ssh in to the service produce a message intended for the administrator: $ ssh git@myserver fatal: Interactive git shell is not enabled. hint: ~/git-shell-commands should exist and have read and execute access. $ That is helpful for the new admin who is wondering "What? Why isn't the git-shell I just set up working?", but once the site setup is complete, it would be better to give the user a friendly hint that she is on the right track, like GitHub does. Hi <username>! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access. An appropriate greeting might even include more complex dynamic information, like gitolite's list of repositories the user has access to. Add support for a ~/git-shell-commands/no-interactive-login command that generates an arbitrary greeting. When the user tries to log in: * If the file ~/git-shell-commands/no-interactive-login exists, run no-interactive-login to let the server say what it likes, then hang up. * Otherwise, if ~/git-shell-commands/ is present, start an interactive read-eval-print loop. * Otherwise, print the usual configuration hint and hang up.

Jonathan Nieder	cdd9b3c96c	shell doc: emphasize purpose and security model The original git-shell(1) manpage emphasized that the shell supports only git transport commands. As the shell gained features, that emphasis and focus in the manual has been lost. Bring it back by splitting the manpage into a few short sections and fleshing out each: - SYNOPSIS, describing how the shell gets used in practice - DESCRIPTION, which gives an overview of the purpose and guarantees provided by this restricted shell - COMMANDS, listing supported commands and restrictions on the arguments they accept - INTERACTIVE USE, describing the interactive mode Also add a "see also" section with related reading.

Martin von Zweigbergk	7791a1d9b9	Documentation: use [verse] for SYNOPSIS sections 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.

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

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.

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.
