* 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 For (1), they are out of date and incomplete.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 For (2), the correct contact point is generally git@vger, and even if you wanted to cc the contact point, the out-of-date and incomplete fields mean you're likely sending to somebody useless.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.
* 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.
* Remove post-upload-hookJunio C Hamano2009-12-10
| | | | | | | This hook runs after "git fetch" in the repository the objects are fetched from as the user who fetched, and has security implications. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* upload-pack: add a trigger for post-upload-pack hookJunio C Hamano2009-08-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After upload-pack successfully finishes its operation, post-upload-pack hook can be called for logging purposes. The hook is passed various pieces of information, one per line, from its standard input. Currently the following items can be fed to the hook, but more types of information may be added in the future: want SHA-1:: 40-byte hexadecimal object name the client asked to include in the resulting pack. Can occur one or more times in the input. have SHA-1:: 40-byte hexadecimal object name the client asked to exclude from the resulting pack, claiming to have them already. Can occur zero or more times in the input. time float:: Number of seconds spent for creating the packfile. size decimal:: Size of the resulting packfile in bytes.

* 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
| | | | | | | | As the "git" man page describes the "git" command at the end-user level, it seems better to move it to man section 1. Signed-off-by: Christian Couder <chriscool@tuxfamily.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

* Fixup no-progress for fetch & cloneJohannes Schindelin2007-02-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The intent of the commit 'fetch & clone: do not output progress when not on a tty' was to make fetching and cloning less chatty when output was not redirected (such as in a cron job). However, there was a serious thinko in that commit. It assumed that the client _and_ the server got this update at the same time. But this is obviously not the case, and therefore upload-pack died on seeing the option "--no-progress". This patch fixes that issue by making it a protocol option. So, until your server is updated, you still see the progress, but once the server has this patch, it will be quiet. A minor issue was also fixed: when cloning, the checkout did not heed no_progress.

* fetch & clone: do not output progress when not on a ttyJohannes Schindelin2007-02-19
| | | | | | | | | | | This adds the option "--no-progress" to fetch-pack and upload-pack, and makes fetch and clone pass this option when stdout is not a tty. While at documenting that option, also document --strict and --timeout options for upload-pack.
