* doc/git-daemon: s/uploadarchive/uploadarch/Jeff King2008-05-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | The git-daemon upload-archive feature has always used the config directive 'daemon.uploadarch'; the documentation which came later seems to have just mistakenly used the wrong name.

* doc: clarify definition of "update" for git-add -uJeff King2008-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | The "-u" option is described only in terms of "updating" files, which in turn is described only as "similar to what git commit -a does". Let's be a little more specific about what updating entails. Suggested by Geoffrey Irving. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

* Linked glossary from cvs-migration pageMatt Graham2008-04-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | Coming from CVS, I found the git glossary vital to learning git and learning how terms in git correlate to the cvs terminology with which I am familiar. This patch links the glossary from the cvs-migration page so cvs users will be able to fine the glossary as soon as they start looking at git documents.

* Clarify documentation of git-cvsserver, particularly in relation to git-shellScott Collins2008-04-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For SSH clients restricted to git-shell, CVS_SERVER does not have to be specified, because git-shell understands the default value of 'cvs' to mean git-cvsserver'. This makes it totally transparent to CVS users, but the instruction to set up CVS access for people with real shell access does not apply. Previous wording mentioning GIT_AUTHOR, GIT_COMMITTER variables was unclear that we really meant GIT_AUTHOR_(NAME|EMAIL), etc. Note that the .ssh/environment file is a good place to set these, and that the .bashrc is shell-specific. Add a bit of text to differentiate cvs -d (setting CVSROOT) from cvs co -d (setting the name of the newly checked out directory). Removed an extra 'Example:' string.

| | | | | | | | | | | | The --root option from "git diff-tree" won't do nothing when is given to commands like git-whatchanged or git-log, because those always print the initial commit by default.

* Fix documentation syntax of optional arguments in short options.Carlos Rica2008-04-10
| | | | | | | | | | | When an argument for an option is optional, like in -n from git-tag, puting a space between the option and the argument is interpreted as a missing argument for the option plus an isolated argument. Documentation now reflects the need to write the parameter following the option -n, as in "git tag -nARG", for instance.

* Documentation/push: clarify matching refspec behaviorJeff King2008-02-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The previous text was correct, but it was easy to miss the fact that we are talking about "matching" refs. That is, the text can be parsed as "we push the union of the sets of remote and local heads" and not "we push the intersection of the sets of remote and local heads". (The former actually doesn't make sense if you think about it, since we don't even _have_ some of those heads). A careful reading would reveal the correct meaning, but it makes sense to be as explicit as possible in documentation. We also explicitly use and introduce the term "matching"; this is a term discussed on the list, and it seems useful to for users to be able to refer to this behavior by name.

I was able to solve this problem with this patch, which adds a XSL file used specifically for DOCBOOK_XSL_172=YesPlease and where dots and backslashes are escaped properly so they won't be substituted to the wrong thing further down the "DocBook XSL pipeline". Doing the escaping in the existing callout.xsl breaks v1.70.1. Hopefully v1.73 will end this part of the manpage nightmare. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
