* Documentation: minor cleanup in a use case in 'git stash' manualSZEDER Gábor2008-09-01
| | | | | | | | There is no need to explicitly pass the file to be committed to 'git commit', because it's contents is already in the index. Signed-off-by: SZEDER Gábor <szeder@ira.uka.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* Documentation: fix disappeared lines in 'git stash' manpageSZEDER Gábor2008-09-01

| | | | | | | | | | The SYNOPSIS section of gitattibutes and gitmodule fail to clearly specify the name of the in tree files used. This patch brings in the initial `.' and the fact that the `.gitmodules' file should reside at the top-level of the working tree.

* gitattributes: -crlf is not binaryJunio C Hamano2008-08-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The description of crlf attribute incorrectly said that "-crlf" means binary. It is true that for binary files you would want "-crlf", but that is not the same thing. We also have supported attribute macros and via that mechanism a handy "binary" to specify "-crlf -diff" at the same time. It was not documented anywhere as far as I can tell, even though the support was there from the very beginning. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

| | | | | | | | | Since 59d3f54 (name-rev: avoid "^0" when unneeded, 2007-02-20), name-rev stopped showing an unnecessary "^0" to dereference a tag down to a commit. The patch should have made a matching update to the documentation, but we forgot. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

* Add hints to revert documentation about other ways to undo changesTarmigan Casebolt2008-08-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Based on its name, people may read the 'git revert' documentation when they want to undo local changes, especially people who have used other SCM's. 'git revert' may not be what they had in mind, but git provides several other ways to undo changes to files. We can help them by pointing them towards the git commands that do what they might want to do.

* git-stash: improve synopsis in help and manual pageStephan Beyer2008-08-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | "git stash -h" showed some incomplete and ugly usage information. For example, the useful "--keep-index" option for "save" or the "--index" option for "apply" were not shown. Also in the documentation synopsis they were not shown, so that there is no incentive to scroll down and even see that such options exist. This patch improves the git-stash synopsis in the documentation by mentioning that further options to the stash commands and then copies this synopsis to the usage information string of git-stash.sh. For the latter, the dashless git command string has to be inserted on the second and the following usage lines. The code of this is taken from git-sh-setup so that all lines will show the command string. Note that the "create" command is not advertised at all now, because it was not mentioned in git-stash.txt.

* | Teach git diff about BibTeX head hunk patternsGustaf Hendeby2008-08-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | All BibTeX entries starts with an @ followed by an entry type. Since there are many entry types and own can be defined, the pattern matches legal entry type names instead of just the default types (which would be a long list). The pattern also matches strings and comments since they will also be useful to position oneself in a bib-file.

* | Adjust for the new way of enabling the default post-update hookPetr Baudis2008-08-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The post-update hook, which is required to be enabled in order for the repository to be accessible over HTTP, is not enabled by chmod a+x anymore, but instead by dropping the .sample suffix. This patch emphasizes this change in the release notes (since I believe this is rather noticeable backwards-incompatible change). It also adjusts the documentation which still described the old way and fixes t/t5540-http-push.sh, which was broken for 1.5 month but apparently noone ever runs this test.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I see quite a few pages on k.org site, e.g. http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-rerere.html (scroll down to find "After this test merge") are misformatted to lose teletype text '+' that is followed by a comma, and turns the following paragraph all typeset in teletype. This patch seems to fix the issue at the site (meaning, with the particular vintage of asciidoc and docbook toolchain), without breaking things with the version I have at my primary development machine, but wider testing is very much appreciated.

* | | git-svn: add ability to specify --commit-url for dcommitEric Wong2008-08-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This allows one to use public svn:// URLs for fetch and svn+ssh:// URLs for committing (without using the complicated rewriteRoot option, reimporting or git-filter-branch). Using this can also help avoid unnecessary server authentication/encryption overhead on busy SVN servers. Along with the new --revision option, this can also be allowed to override the branch detection in dcommit, too. This is potentially dangerous and not recommended! (And also purposely undocumented, but the loaded gun is there in case somebody wants to make it safe).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Long time ago, the feature of "diff-tree --stdin" to take a commit and its parents on one line was broken, and did not support the common: git rev-list --parents $commits... -- $paths... | git diff-tree --stdin -v -p usage pattern by Porcelains properly. For diff-tree to talk sensibly about commits, it needs to see commits, not just trees; the code was fixed to take list of commits on the standard input in 1.2.0. However we left the documentation stale for a long time, until Karl Hasselström finally noticed it very recently. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
