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.

This option, '--replay', causes it to + use the original commit message intact. This is useful + when you are reordering the patches in your private tree + before publishing, and is used by 'git rebase'. + +-n:: + Usually the command automatically creates a commit with + a commit log message stating which commit was + cherry-picked. This flag applies the change necessary + to cherry-pick the named commit to your working tree, + but does not make the commit. In addition, when this + option is used, your working tree does not have to match + the HEAD commit. The cherry-pick is done against the + beginning state of your working tree. + + This is useful when cherry-picking more than one commits' + effect to your working tree in a row. + + +Author +------ +Written by Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> + +Documentation +-------------- +Documentation by Junio C Hamano and the git-list <git@vger.kernel.org>. + +GIT +--- +Part of the link:git.html[git] suite + |
