* Update git-log and git-show documentationMichael S. Tsirkin2007-02-08
| | | | | | Point at where the options not so frequently used are found. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Refer users to git-rev-parse for revision specification syntax.Shawn O. Pearce2007-01-17
| | | | | | | | | | The revision specification syntax (sometimes referred to as SHA1-expressions) is accepted almost everywhere in Git by almost every tool. Unfortunately it is only documented in git-rev-parse.txt, and most users don't know to look there. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* git log documentation: teach -<n> form.Junio C Hamano2007-01-14
| | | | | | | | We say "this shows only the most often used ones"; so instead of teaching --max-number=<n> form, list -<n> form which is much easier to type. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

* Move --pretty options into Documentation/pretty-formats.txtChris Riddoch2006-11-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Asciidoc-include it into the manuals for programs that use the --pretty command-line option, for consistency among the docs. This describes all the pretty-formats currently listed in the cmit_fmt enum in commit.h, and also briefly describes the presence and format of the 'Merge: ' line in some pretty formats. There's a hedge that limiting your view of history can affect what goes in the Merge: line, and that --abbrev/--no-abbrev do nothing to the 'raw' format.

* 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 examples for git-log documentation and others.Linus Torvalds2005-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I don't think people really follow the links or think very abstractly at all in the first place. So I was thinking more of some explicit examples. I actually think every command should have an example in the man-page, and hey, here's a patch to start things off. Of course, I'm not exactly "Mr Documentation", and I don't know that this is the prettiest way to do this, but I checked that the resulting html and man-page seems at least reasonable. And hey, if the examples look like each other, that's just because I'm also not "Mr Imagination". Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> 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.
