* Documentation: simpler shared repository creationJ. Bruce Fields2006-12-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Take Johannes Schindelin's suggestions for a further simplification of the shared repository creation using git --bare init-db --shared, and for a simplified cvsimport using an existing CVS working directory. Also insert more man page references. Signed-off-by: J.

* Documentation: reorganize cvs-migration.txtJ. Bruce Fields2006-12-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Modify cvs-migration.txt so it explains first how to develop against a shared repository, then how to set up a shared repository, then how to import a repository from cvs. Though this seems chronologically backwards, it's still readable in this order, and it puts the more commonly needed material closer to the front. Remove the annotate/pickaxe section; perhaps it can find a place elsewhere in the future. Remove most of the "why git is better than cvs" stuff from the introduction. Add some minor clarifications, including two that have come up several times on the mailing list: 1. Recommend committing any changes before running pull. 2. Note that changes must be commited before they can be pushed. Update the clone discussion to reflect the new --use-separate-remotes default, and add a brief mention of git-cvsserver.

* cvs-migration: improved section titles, better push/commit explanationJ. Bruce Fields2006-12-06

* cvs-migration document: make the need for "push" more obviousJohannes Schindelin2006-12-06
| | | | | | | | | | | It really is an important concept to grasp for people coming from CVS. Even if it is briefly mentioned, it is not obvious enough to sink in. [jc: with wording updates from J.

* cvs-migration documentation updateJ. Bruce Fields2006-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Here's some changes to the cvs-migration.txt. As usual, in my attempt to make things clearer someone may have found I've made them less so, or I may have just gotten something wrong; so any review is welcomed. I can break up this sort of thing into smaller steps if preferred, the monolothic patch is just a bit simpler for me for this sort of thing. I moved the material describing shared repository management from core-tutorial.txt to cvs-migration.txt, where it seems more appropriate, and combined two sections to eliminate some redundancy. I also revised the earlier sections of cvs-migration.txt, mainly trying to make it more concise. I've left the last section of cvs-migration.txt (on CVS annotate alternatives) alone for now.

* [PATCH] Random documentation fixesJonas Fonseca2005-10-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [PATCH] Escape asciidoc's built-in em-dash replacementYasushi SHOJI2005-09-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | AsciiDoc replace '--' with em-dash (&#8212) by default. em-dash looks a lot like a single long dash and it's very confusing when we are talking about command options. Section 21.2.8 'Replacements' of AsciiDoc's User Guide says that a backslash in front of double dash prevent the replacement. This patch does just that.
