* Documentation: adjust to AsciiDoc 8Junio C Hamano2007-06-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | It turns out that the attribute definition we have had for a long time to hide "^" character from AsciiDoc 7 was not honored by AsciiDoc 8 even under "-a asciidoc7compatible" mode. There is a similar breakage with the "compatible" mode with + characters. The double colon at the end of definition list term needs to be attached to the term, without a whitespace. After this minimum fixups, AsciiDoc 8 (I used 8.2.1 on Debian) with compatibility mode seems to produce reasonably good results. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

* tutorial: use "project history" instead of "changelog" in headerJ. Bruce Fields2007-06-10

* Create a new manpage for the gitignore format, and reference it elsewhereJosh Triplett2007-06-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Only git-ls-files(1) describes the gitignore format in detail, and it does so with reference to git-ls-files options. Most users don't use the plumbing command git-ls-files directly, and shouldn't have to look in its manpage for information on the gitignore format. Create a new manpage gitignore(5) (Documentation/gitignore.txt), and factor out the gitignore documentation into that file, changing it to refer to .gitignore and $GIT_DIR/info/exclude as used by porcelain commands. Reference gitignore(5) from other relevant manpages and documentation. Remove now-redundant information on exclude patterns from git-ls-files(1), leaving only information on how git-ls-files options specify exclude patterns and what precedence they have.

* Documentation: robustify asciidoc GIT_VERSION replacementJeff King2007-06-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of using sed on the resulting file, we now have a git_version asciidoc attribute. This means that we don't pipe the output of asciidoc, which means we can detect build failures. Problem reported by Scott Lamb, solution suggested by Jonas Fonseca.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Reasonably new versions of the cvs CLI client allow one to specifiy CVS_SERVER as a method variable directly in CVSROOT. This is way more convinient than using an environment variable since it gets saved in CVS/Root. Since I only discovered this by accident I guess there might be others out there that learnt CVS on the 1.11 series (or even earlier) and profit from such a note about cvs improvements in the last couple years.

| * user-manual: Add section on ignoring filesJohan Herland2007-05-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The todo list at the end of the user manual says that something must be said about .gitignore. Also, there seems to be a lack of documentation on how to choose between the various types of ignore files (.gitignore vs. .git/info/exclude, etc.). This patch adds a section on ignoring files which try to introduce how to tell git about ignored files, and how the different strategies complement eachother. The syntax of exclude patterns is explained in a simplified manner, with a reference to git-ls-files(1) which already contains a more thorough explanation.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The embarassing history of this tutorial is that I started it without really understanding the index well, so I avoided mentioning it. And we all got the idea that "index" was a word to avoid using around newbies, but it was reluctantly mentioned that *something* had to be said. The result is a little awkward: the discussion of the index never actually uses that word, and isn't well-integrated into the surrounding material. Let's just go ahead and use the word "index" from the very start, and try to demonstrate its use with a minimum of lecturing. Also, remove discussion of using git-commit with explicit filenames. We're already a bit slow here to get people to their first commit, and I'm not convinced this is really so important. Signed-off-by: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@citi.umich.edu>

So, separate that out. - It skimps on some of the git-daemon details, and puts the http export information first. Fix that.
