* doc: drop author/documentation sections from most pagesJeff King2011-03-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 For (1), they are out of date and incomplete.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 For (2), the correct contact point is generally git@vger, and even if you wanted to cc the contact point, the out-of-date and incomplete fields mean you're likely sending to somebody useless.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.
* daemon: make --inetd and --detach incompatibleErik Faye-Lund2010-11-04
| | | | | | | | | | Since --inetd makes main return with the result of execute() before daemonize is gets called, these two options are already incompatible.

|\ | | | | | | | | | | * as/daemon-multi-listen: daemon: allow more than one host address given via --listen daemon: add helper function named_sock_setup
| * daemon: allow more than one host address given via --listenAlexander Sulfrian2010-09-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the host has more than one interfaces, daemon can listen to all of them by not giving any --listen option, or listen to only one. Teach it to accept more than one --listen options. Remove the hostname information form the die, if no socket could be created. It would only trigger when no interface out of either all interface or the ones specified on the command line with --listen options, can be listened to and so the user does know which "host" was asked.

* Documentation: spell 'git cmd' without dash throughoutThomas Rast2010-01-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The documentation was quite inconsistent when spelling 'git cmd' if it only refers to the program, not to some specific invocation syntax: both 'git-cmd' and 'git cmd' spellings exist. The current trend goes towards dashless forms, and there is precedent in 647ac70 (git-svn.txt: stop using dash-form of commands., 2009-07-07) to actively eliminate the dashed variants. Replace 'git-cmd' with 'git cmd' throughout, except where git-shell, git-cvsserver, git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack, and git-upload-archive are concerned, because those really live in the $PATH.

* | git-daemon: set REMOTE_ADDR to client addressJoey Hess2008-10-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This allows hooks like pre-receive to look at the client's IP address. Of course the IP address can't be used to get strong security; git-daemon isn't the right thing to use if you need that. However, basic IP address checking can be good enough in some situations. REMOTE_ADDR is the same environment variable used to communicate the client's address to CGI scripts. Signed-off-by: Joey Hess <joey@kitenet.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

* manpages: italicize git command names (which were in teletype font)Jonathan Nieder2008-07-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 .

* Documentation formatting and cleanupJonathan Nieder2008-07-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Documentation: be consistent about "git-" versus "git "Jonathan Nieder2008-07-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since the git-* commands are not installed in $(bindir), using "git-command <parameters>" in examples in the documentation is not a good idea. On the other hand, it is nice to be able to refer to each command using one hyphenated word. (There is no escaping it, anyway: man page names cannot have spaces in them.) This patch retains the dash in naming an operation, command, program, process, or action. Complete command lines that can be entered at a shell (i.e., without options omitted) are made to use the dashless form. The changes consist only of replacing some spaces with hyphens and vice versa. After a "s/ /-/g", the unpatched and patched versions are identical. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@uchicago.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* git-daemon(1): don't assume git-daemon is in /usr/binJonathan Nieder2008-07-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | In the example inetd.conf lines in git-daemon(1), it was assumed that `git-daemon` resides in the user's /usr/bin. With this patch, we only assume `git` is in /usr/bin. The stronger assumption fails in the default installation nowadays. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@uchicago.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* Docs: Use "-l::\n--long\n" format in OPTIONS sectionsStephan Beyer2008-06-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The OPTIONS section of a documentation file contains a list of the options a git command accepts. Currently there are several variants to describe the case that different options (almost) do the same in the OPTIONS section. Some are: -f, --foo:: -f|--foo:: -f | --foo:: But AsciiDoc has the special form: -f:: --foo:: This patch applies this form to the documentation of the whole git suite, and removes useless em-dash prevention, so \--foo becomes --foo.

* --base-path-relaxed optionJens Axboe2007-08-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I switched git.kernel.dk to --base-path a few minutes ago, to get rid of a /data/git postfix in the posted urls. But transitioning is tricky, since now all old paths will fail miserably. So I added this --base-path-relaxed option, that will make git-daemon try the absolute path without prefixing --base-path before giving up. With this in place and --base-path-relaxed added, both my new url of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-2.6-block.git and the old git://git.kernel.dk/data/git/linux-2.6-block.git work fine.

* daemon: extend user-relative path notation.Junio C Hamano2006-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Earlier, we made --base-path to automatically forbid user-relative paths, which was probably a mistake. This introduces --user-path (or --user-path=path) option to control the use of user-relative paths independently. The latter form of the option can be used to restrict accesses to a part of each user's home directory, similar to "public_html" some webservers supports. If we're invoked with --user-path=FOO option, then a URL of the form git://~USER/PATH/... resolves to the path HOME/FOO/PATH/..., where HOME is USER's home directory. [jc: This is much reworked by me so bugs are mine, but the original patch was done by Mark Wooding.] Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
