* Add -P to the documentation head.Junio C Hamano2005-11-01
| | | | | | | This is a companion patch for 211dcac6430cdf77fcf2a968ffaf9313b5c059b0 commit, to add the newly introduced -P option to the list of options. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* cvsimport: introduce -P <cvsps-output-file> optionMartin Langhoff2005-11-01
| | | | | | | | | -P:: <cvsps-output-file> Instead of calling cvsps, read the provided cvsps output file. Useful for debugging or when cvsps is being handled outside cvsimport. Signed-off-by: Martin Langhoff <martin@catalyst.net.nz> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* git-am.txt is no stub anymorePetr Baudis2005-11-01
| | | | | | | | | That notice was added by me for the emergency documentation, but Junio already expanded it to a full-fledged manual page. This patch removes the notice. Signed-off-by: Petr Baudis <pasky@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Documentation for git-fmt-merge-msgPetr Baudis2005-11-01
| | | | | | | | | | Simple description. It appears to be mostly internal command, but hey, it is (it seems) the only undocumented one, so let's fix it up... Also add a note about it to git-merge documentation. Signed-off-by: Petr Baudis <pasky@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Remove 'Previously this command was known as ...' messages.Jon Loeliger2005-11-01
| | | | | | | | | | For a 1.0 release, there is no need to maintain the historical "Previously this command was known as..." information on the doc splash page. It is noise; command names should stand on their own now. Signed-off-by: Jon Loeliger <jdl@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Document the use of "current directory" as pull source.Junio C Hamano2005-11-01
| | | | | | | | The repository to pull from can be a local repository, and as a special case the current directory can be specified to perform merges across local branches. 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>

* git-apply --numstatJunio C Hamano2005-10-28
| | | | | | | | | The new option, --numstat, shows number of inserted and deleted lines for each path. It is similar to --stat output but is meant to be more machine friendly by giving number of added and deleted lines and unabbreviated paths. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

* Documentation changes to recursive option for git-diff-treeChris Shoemaker2005-10-28
| | | | | | | | | | Update docs and usages regarding '-r' recursive option for git-diff-tree. Remove '-r' from common diff options, mention it only for git-diff-tree. Remove one extraneous use of '-r' with git-diff-files in get-merge.sh. Sync the synopsis and usage string for git-diff-tree.

* Document git-patch-id a bit better.Junio C Hamano2005-10-28
| | | | | | | | | Pavel Roskin wondered what the SHA1 output at the beginning of git-diff-tree was about. The only consumer of that information so far is this git-patch-id command, which was inadequately documented. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Link git-name-rev and git-symbolic-ref from the main git pageJohannes Schindelin2005-10-28

* Add git-name-revJohannes Schindelin2005-10-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | git-name-rev tries to find nice symbolic names for commits. It does so by walking the commits from the refs. When the symbolic name is ambiguous, the following heuristic is applied: Try to avoid too many ~'s, and if two ambiguous names have the same count of ~'s, take the one whose last number is smaller. With "--tags", the names are derived only from tags. With "--stdin", the stdin is parsed, and after every sha1 for which a name could be found, the name is appended. (Try "git log | git name-rev --stdin".) Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <Johannes.Schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

* Add git-mvJosef Weidendorfer2005-10-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It supersedes git-rename by adding functionality to move multiple files, directories or symlinks into another directory. It also provides according documentation. The implementation renames multiple files, using the arguments from the command line to produce an array of sources and destinations. In a first pass, all requested renames are checked for errors, and overwriting of existing files is only allowed with '-f'. The actual renaming is done in a second pass. This ensures that any error condition is checked before anything is changed. Signed-off-by: Josef Weidendorfer <Josef.Weidendorfer@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

| | | | | | | | | New options --timeout, --init-timeout, --export-all and whitelist support were added to git-daemon, but noone bothered to also add the proper documentation. This patch aims to fix that. Signed-off-by: Petr Baudis <pasky@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

* Brief documentation for the mysterious git-am scriptPetr Baudis2005-10-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The git-am script is nowhere called and nowhere (including itself) explained, and the name isn't helpful either. For those like me who will wonder what is it about, add some documentation stub for it to the documentation. I probably got something wrong and I don't feel like investigating all the options - this is just kind of "emergency" docs.

* git-fetch/push/pull: documentation.Junio C Hamano2005-10-19

| | | | | | | | | | When extra paths arguments are given, git-checkout reverts only those paths to either the version recorded in the index or the version recorded in the given tree-ish. This has been on the TODO list for quite a while. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

| * whatchanged: document -m option from git-diff-tree.Junio C Hamano2005-10-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The documentation for git-whatchanged is meant to describe only the most frequently used options from git-diff-tree. Because "why doesn't it show merges" was asked more than once, we'd better describe '-m' option there. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some SVN repositories that are accessible through HTTP don't like when I retrieve files using SVN methods ("internal server error"). Therefore, I added an option to get the contents using (persistent) HTTP directly. This also reduces round-trip time, from two or three requests down to one. Also corrected error handling a bit.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As the name suggests, this script imports from SVN. Only "normal" SVN repositories (with single trunk/, branches/, and tags/ subdrectories) are supported. Incremental imports require preserving the file .git/svn2git.
