2006-06-06git-format-patch: add --output-directory long option againJunio C Hamano
Additionally notices and complains to an -o option without directory or a duplicated -o option, -o and --stdout given together. Also delays the creation of directory until all arguments are parsed, so that the command does not leave an empty directory behind when it exits after seeing an unrelated invalid option. [jc: originally from Dennis Stosberg but with minor fixes, and documentation updates from Dennis.] Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-02-07format-patch: Remove last vestiges of --mbox optionAndreas Ericsson
Don't mention it in docs or --help output. Remove mbox, date and author variables from git-format-patch.sh. Use DESCRIPTION text from man-page to update LONG_USAGE output. It's a bit silly to have two texts saying the same thing in different words, and I'm too lazy to update both.

2005-09-08Big tool rename.Junio C Hamano
As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch. The primary differences since 0.99.6 are: (1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if something is implemented as a shell script or not. (2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with 'index' if that is what they mean. There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward compatibility support is expected to be removed in the near future.
