* 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.
* Documentation: format full commands in typewriter fontThomas Rast2010-01-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use `code snippet` style instead of 'emphasis' for `git cmd ...` according to the following rules: * The SYNOPSIS sections are left untouched. * If the intent is that the user type the command exactly as given, it is `code`. If the user is only loosely referred to a command and/or option, it remains 'emphasised'. Signed-off-by: Thomas Rast <trast@student.ethz.ch>
* Documentation: warn prominently against merging with dirty treesThomas Rast2010-01-09
| | | | | | | We do this for both git-merge and git-pull, so as to hopefully alert (over)users of git-pull to the issue. Signed-off-by: Thomas Rast <trast@student.ethz.ch>
* Documentation/git-merge: reword references to "remote" and "pull"Thomas Rast2010-01-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The git-merge manpage was written in terms of merging a "remote", which is no longer the case: you merge local or remote-tracking branches; pull is for actual remotes. Adjust the manpage accordingly. We refer to the arguments as "commits", and change instances of "remote" to "other" (where branches are concerned) or "theirs" (where conflict sides are concerned). Remove the single reference to "pulling". Signed-off-by: Thomas Rast <trast@student.ethz.ch>

| * git-rm doc: Describe how to sync index & work treeBjörn Gustavsson2010-01-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Newcomers to git that want to remove from the index only the files that have disappeared from the working tree will probably look for a way to do that in the documentation for 'git rm'. Therefore, describe how that can be done (even though it involves other commands than 'git rm'). Based on a suggestion by Junio, but re-arranged and rewritten to better fit into the style of command reference. While at it, change a single occurrence of "work tree" to "working tree" for consistency. Signed-off-by: Björn Gustavsson <bgustavsson@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

| * Documentation: 'git add -A' can remove filesBjörn Gustavsson2009-12-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current documentation fails to mention that 'git add -A/--all' can remove files as well as add them, and it also does not say anything about filepatterns (whether they are allowed, mandatory, or optional). It is also not clear what the similarities and differences to the -u option are. Update the intro paragraph (as suggested by Junio, with some minor edits) to make it clear that 'git add' is able to delete and to also cover the -p option. Reword the description of -u to make it clearer (based on Björn Steinbrink's suggestion). Simplify the description of -A by saying "Like -u" and then describe the differences (based on the suggestions by Björn Steinbrink and Junio).

Since status is no longer "commit --dry-run", these formats are inaccessible to people who do want to see a dry-run in a parseable form. This patch makes those formats available to "git commit", implying the "dry-run" option when they are used. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

This has two practical uses: 1. Users who want a more dense display of the information. 2. Scripts which want to parse the information and need a stable, easy-to-parse interface. For now, the "--short" format covers both of those uses. However, as time goes on, users of (1) may want additional format tweaks, or for "git status" to change its behavior based on configuration variables. Those wishes will be at odds with (2), which wants to stability for scripts. This patch introduces a separate --porcelain option early to avoid problems later on. Right now the --short and --porcelain outputs are identical. However, as time goes on, we will have the freedom to customize --short for human consumption while keeping --porcelain stable.

There are some tests that expect "git status" to exit with non-zero status when there is something staged. Some tests expect "git status path..." to show the status for a partial commit. For these, replace "git status" with "git commit --dry-run". For the ones that do not attempt a dry-run of a partial commit that check the output from the command, check the output from "git status" as well, as they should be identical.

Nobody objected, as far as I can dig the list archive. But when nothing happened in 1.6.3 nor 1.6.4, nobody from the camp who complained loudly that led to the message did not complain either. So I am guessing that after all nobody cares about this. But 1.7.0 is a good time to change this, and as I said in the message, I personally think it is a good change, so here it is.

It is a separate configuration option in order to allow a sensible configuration for foreign systems which either have no meaningful urls for repositories or which require urls that do not specify the system used by the repository at that location. However, this only affects how the name of the helper is determined, not anything about the interaction with the helper, and the contruction is such that, if the foreign scm does happen to use a co-named url method, a url with that method may be used directly.
