* git grep: Add "-z/--null" option as in GNU's grep.Raphael Zimmerer2008-10-01
| | | | | | | | | | | Here's a trivial patch that adds "-z" and "--null" options to "git grep". It was discussed on the mailing-list that git's "-z" convention should be used instead of GNU grep's "-Z". So things like 'git grep -l -z "$FOO" | xargs -0 sed -i "s/$FOO/$BOO/"' do work now.

* 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>
* 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.

* documentation: move git(7) to git(1)Christian Couder2008-06-06

* Teach git-grep --name-only as synonym for -lShawn O. Pearce2008-02-20
| | | | | | | | | | I expected git grep --name-only to give me only the file names, much as git diff --name-only only generates filenames. Alas the option is -l, which matches common external greps but doesn't match other parts of the git UI. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

* 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]]].

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>
* War on whitespaceJunio C Hamano2007-06-07
| | | | | | | | | 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.

* grep --all-matchJunio C Hamano2006-09-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This lets you say: git grep --all-match -e A -e B -e C to find lines that match A or B or C but limit the matches from the files that have all of A, B and C. This is different from git grep -e A --and -e B --and -e C in that the latter looks for a single line that has all of these at the same time. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

* git-grep: show pathnames relative to the current directoryJunio C Hamano2006-08-11
| | | | | | | | | | | By default, the command shows pathnames relative to the current directory. Use --full-name (the same flag to do so in ls-files) if you want to see the full pathname relative to the project root. This makes it very pleasant to run in Emacs compilation (or "grep-find") buffer. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

* git-grep: clarification on parameters.Junio C Hamano2006-01-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We forgot to make sure that there is no more than one pattern parameter. Also when looking for files in a directory called '--others', it passed that path limiter without preceding the end-of-options marker '--' to underlying git-ls-files, which misunderstood it as one of its options instead. $ git grep --others -e Meta/Make Meta $ git grep -o -e Meta/Make Meta $ git grep -o Meta/Make Meta look for a string "Meta/Make" from untracked files in Meta/ directory. $ git grep Meta/Make --others looks for the same string from tracked files in ./--others directory. On the other hand, $ git grep -e Meta/Make --others does not have a freestanding pattern, so everybody is parameter and there is no path specifier. It looks for the string in all the untracked files without any path limiter.
