* doc: clarify definition of "update" for git-add -uJeff King2008-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | The "-u" option is described only in terms of "updating" files, which in turn is described only as "similar to what git commit -a does". Let's be a little more specific about what updating entails. Suggested by Geoffrey Irving. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

* Clarified the meaning of git-add -u in the documentationPekka Kaitaniemi2008-02-20

* Documentation: rename gitlink macro to linkgitDan McGee2008-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>

* Add "--patch" option to git-add--interactiveWincent Colaiuta2007-11-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | When the "--patch" option is supplied, the patch_update_cmd() function is called bypassing the main_loop() and exits. Seeing as builtin-add is the only caller of git-add--interactive we can impose a strict requirement on the format of the arguments to avoid possible ambiguity: an "--" argument must be used whenever any pathspecs are passed, both with the "--patch" option and without it.

| * documentation: use the word "index" in the git-add manual pageJ. Bruce Fields2007-08-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It was a neat trick to show that you could introduce the git-add manual page without using the word "index", and it was certainly an improvement over the previous man page (which started out "A simple wrapper for git-update-index to add files to the index..."). But it's possible to use the standard terminology without sacrificing user-friendliness. So, rewrite to use the word "index" when appropriate. Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu>

|/ | | | | | | | | 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.

* git-add: add ignored files when asked explicitly.Junio C Hamano2006-12-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | One thing many people found confusing about git-add was that a file whose name matches an ignored pattern could not be added to the index. With this, such a file can be added by explicitly spelling its name to git-add. Fileglobs and recursive behaviour do not add ignored files to the index. That is, if a pattern '*.o' is in .gitignore, and two files foo.o, bar/baz.o are in the working tree: $ git add foo.o $ git add '*.o' $ git add bar Only the first form adds foo.o to the index.

* make 'git add' a first class user friendly interface to the indexNicolas Pitre2006-12-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This brings the power of the index up front using a proper mental model without talking about the index at all. See for example how all the technical discussion has been evacuated from the git-add man page. Any content to be committed must be added together. Whether that content comes from new files or modified files doesn't matter. You just need to "add" it, either with git-add, or by providing git-commit with -a (for already known files only of course). No need for a separate command to distinguish new vs modified files please. That would only screw the mental model everybody should have when using GIT.

* Big tool rename.Junio C Hamano2005-09-07
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.
