* Fix up docs where "--" isn't displayed correctly.sean2006-05-05
| | | | | | | | | | A bare "--" doesn't show up in man or html pages correctly as two individual dashes unless backslashed as \-- in the asciidoc source. Note, no backslash is needed inside a literal block. Signed-off-by: Sean Estabrooks <seanlkml@sympatico.ca> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Add --temp and --stage=all options to checkout-index.Shawn Pearce2006-03-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | Sometimes it is convient for a Porcelain to be able to checkout all unmerged files in all stages so that an external merge tool can be executed by the Porcelain or the end-user. Using git-unpack-file on each stage individually incurs a rather high penalty due to the need to fork for each file version obtained. git-checkout-index -a --stage=all will now do the same thing, but faster.

* Teach git-checkout-index to read filenames from stdin.Shawn Pearce2006-03-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since git-checkout-index is often used from scripts which may have a stream of filenames they wish to checkout it is more convenient to use --stdin than xargs. On platforms where fork performance is currently sub-optimal and the length of a command line is limited (*cough* Cygwin *cough*) running a single git-checkout-index process for a large number of files beats spawning it multiple times from xargs. File names are still accepted on the command line if --stdin is not supplied. Nothing is performed if no files are supplied on the command line or by stdin. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

* Wrap synopsis lines and use [verse] to keep formattingJonas Fonseca2006-01-05

* checkout-index: allow checking out from higher stages.Junio C Hamano2005-12-07
| | | | | | | | The new option, --stage=<n>, lets you copy out from an unmerged, higher stage. This is to help the new merge world order during a nontrivial merge. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Added documentation for few missing options.Jon Loeliger2005-12-05
| | | | | | | | | | More $ shell prompts in examples. Minor English grammar improvements. Added a few "See Also"s. Use back-ticks on more command examples. Signed-off-by: Jon Loeliger <jdl@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

* Change 'cache' to 'index' in the docsLukas_Sandström2005-11-11
| | | | | | | | | This patch makes the documentation refer to the index as index instead of cache, but some references still remain. (e.g. git-update-index.txt) Signed-off-by: Lukas Sandström <lukass@etek.chalmers.se> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

* 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.
