* remotes/trast-doc/for-next: Documentation: spell 'git cmd' without dash throughout Documentation: format full commands in typewriter font Documentation: warn prominently against merging with dirty trees Documentation/git-merge: reword references to "remote" and "pull" Conflicts: Documentation/config.txt Documentation/git-config.txt Documentation/git-merge.txt
2010-01-15difftool: Add '-x' and as an alias for '--extcmd'David Aguilar
This adds '-x' as a shorthand for the '--extcmd' option. Arguments to '--extcmd' can be specified separately, which was not originally possible. This also fixes the brief help text so that it mentions both '-x' and '--extcmd'. Signed-off-by: David Aguilar <davvid@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2010-01-10Documentation: spell 'git cmd' without dash throughoutThomas Rast
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 $PATH.
2010-01-10difftool: Allow specifying unconfigured commands with --extcmdDavid Aguilar
git-difftool requires difftool.<tool>.cmd configuration even when tools use the standard "$diffcmd $from $to" form. This teaches git-difftool to run these tools in lieu of configuration by allowing the command to be specified on the command line.

2010-01-03git-difftool: Add '--gui' for selecting a GUI toolDavid Aguilar
Users might prefer to have git-difftool use a different tool when run from a Git GUI. This teaches git-difftool to honor 'diff.guitool' when the '--gui' option is specified. This allows users to configure their preferred command-line diff tool in 'diff.tool' and a GUI diff tool in 'diff.guitool'.

2009-05-24mergetool--lib: add support for araxis mergeDavid Aguilar

2009-04-08difftool: add support for a difftool.prompt config variableDavid Aguilar
difftool now supports difftool.prompt so that users do not have to pass --no-prompt or hit enter each time a diff tool is launched. The --prompt flag overrides the configuration variable. Signed-off-by: David Aguilar <davvid@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-04-08difftool: move 'git-difftool' out of contribDavid Aguilar
This prepares 'git-difftool' and its documentation for mainstream use. 'git-difftool-helper' became 'git-difftool--helper' since users should not use it directly. 'git-difftool' was added to the list of commands as an ancillaryinterrogator. Signed-off-by: David Aguilar <davvid@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
