* Documentation: more "git-" versus "git " changesJonathan Nieder2008-07-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | With git-commands moving out of $(bindir), it is useful to make a clearer distinction between the git subcommand 'git-whatever' and the command you type, `git whatever <options>`. So we use a dash after "git" when referring to the former and not the latter. I already sent a patch doing this same thing, but I missed some spots.

* git-format-patch(1): fix stray \ in outputJonathan Nieder2008-07-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | In listing blocks (set off by rows of dashes), the usual formatting characters of asciidoc are instead rendered verbatim. When the escaped double-hyphen of olden days is moved into such a block along with other formatting improvements, it becomes backslash-dash-dash. So we remove the backslash.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>
* | | Documentation: prepare to be consistent about "git-" versus "git "Jonathan Nieder2008-07-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the dashed forms of git commands not in $(bindir), we have to change many instances of "git-command" to "git command". Also, for consistency it is at times appropriate to make the opposite change. In some cases, the change is not so simple as changing one character. This patch gets rid of some of those cases by rewrapping lines. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@uchicago.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* | | git-daemon(1): don't assume git-daemon is in /usr/binJonathan Nieder2008-07-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the example inetd.conf lines in git-daemon(1), it was assumed that `git-daemon` resides in the user's /usr/bin. With this patch, we only assume `git` is in /usr/bin. The stronger assumption fails in the default installation nowadays.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The manual page for the command invoked as "git clone" is named git-clone(1), and similarly for the rest of the git commands. Make sure our first example of this in tutorials makes it clear that it is the first two words of a command line that make up the command's name (that is: for example, the effect of "git svn dcommit" is described in git-svn(1)).
