* Improve description of git-branch -d and -D in man page.Jan Hudec2007-11-28
| | | | | | | | | Some users expect that deleting a remote-tracking branch would prevent fetch from creating it again, so be explcit about that it's not the case. Also be a little more explicit about what fully merged means. Signed-off-by: Jan Hudec <bulb@ucw.cz> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* user-manual: recovering from corruptionJ. Bruce Fields2007-11-25
| | | | | | | | | Some instructions on dealing with corruption of the object database. Most of this text is from an example by Linus, identified by Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> with a little further editing by me. Signed-off-by: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@citi.umich.edu>
* user-manual: clarify language about "modifying" old commitsJ. Bruce Fields2007-11-25
| | | | | | | | It's important to remember that git doesn't really allowing "editing" or "modifying" commits, only replacing them by new commits. Redo some of the language to make this clearer. Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu>

* Doc fix for git-reflog: mention @{...} syntax, and <ref> in synopsys.Matthieu Moy2007-11-20
| | | | | | | | | | | The HEAD@{...} syntax was documented in git-rev-parse manpage, which is hard to find by someone looking for the documentation of porcelain. git-reflog is probably the place where one expects to find this. While I'm there, "git revlog show whatever" was also undocumented. Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | * Clarify that core.compression provides a system-wide default to other compression parameters. * Explain that the default for pack.compression, -1, is "a default compromise between speed and compression (currently equivalent to level 6)" according to zlib.h.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We should mention the use of the "..." syntax for git-diff here. The note about the difference between diff and the combined output of git-format-patch then no longer fits so well, so remove it. Add a reference to the git-format-patch[1] manpage. Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu>
| * user-manual: Add section "Why bisecting merge commits can be harder ..."Steffen Prohaska2007-11-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit adds a discussion of the challenge of bisecting merge commits to the user manual. The original author is Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>, who posted the text to the mailing list <http://marc.info/?l=git&m=119403257315527&w=2>. His email was adapted for the manual. The discussion is added to "Rewriting history and maintainig patch series". The text added requires good understanding of merging and rebasing. Therefore it should not be placed too early in the manual. Right after the section on "Problems with rewriting history", the discussion of bisect gives another reason for linearizing as much of the history as possible. The text includes suggestions and fixes by Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> and Benoit Sigoure <tsuna@lrde.epita.fr>. Signed-off-by: Steffen Prohaska <prohaska@zib.de> Signed-off-by: J.

* Documentation: Fix man page breakage with DocBook XSL v1.72Jonas Fonseca2007-11-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | From version 1.72 it will replace all dots in roff requests with U+2302 ("house" character), and add escaping in output for all instances of dot that are not in roff requests. This caused the ".ft" hack forcing monospace font in listingblocks to end up as "\&.ft" and being visible in the resulting man page. The fix adds a DOCBOOK_XSL_172 build variable that will disable the hack. To allow this variable to be defined in config.mak it also moves build variable handling below the inclusion of config.mak.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | git-diff.txt includes diff-options.txt which for the -p option refers to a section "generating patches.." which is missing from the git-diff documentation.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Documentation quotes commit messages 14 times with double-quotes, and 7 times with single-quotes. The patch turns everything to double-quotes. A nice side effect is that documentation becomes more Windoze-friendly as AFAIK single quotes won't work there.

| | | | | | | | | | | | Historically "git merge" took its command line arguments in a rather strange order. Document the historical syntax, and also document clearly that it is not encouraged in new scripts. There is no reason to deprecate the historical syntax, as the current code can sanely tell which syntax the caller is using, and existing scripts by people do use the historical syntax.
