2016-11-21doc: mention user-configured trailersJonathan Tan
In commit 1462450 ("trailer: allow non-trailers in trailer block", 2016-10-21), functionality was added (and tested [1]) to allow non-trailer lines in trailer blocks, as long as those blocks contain at least one Git-generated or user-configured trailer, and consists of at least 25% trailers. The documentation was updated to mention this new functionality, but did not mention "user-configured trailer". Further update the documentation to also mention "user-configured trailer". [1] "with non-trailer lines mixed with a configured trailer" in t/t7513-interpret-trailers.sh Signed-off-by: Jonathan Tan <jonathantanmy@google.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2016-10-21trailer: support values folded to multiple linesJonathan Tan
Currently, interpret-trailers requires that a trailer be only on 1 line. For example: a: first line second line would be interpreted as one trailer line followed by one non-trailer line. Make interpret-trailers support RFC 822-style folding, treating those lines as one logical trailer.

2016-10-21trailer: forbid leading whitespace in trailersJonathan Tan
Currently, interpret-trailers allows leading whitespace in trailer lines. This leads to false positives, especially for quoted lines or bullet lists. Forbid leading whitespace in trailers. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Tan <jonathantanmy@google.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2016-10-21trailer: allow non-trailers in trailer blockJonathan Tan
Currently, interpret-trailers requires all lines of a trailer block to be trailers (or comments) - if not it would not identify that block as a trailer block, and thus create its own trailer block, inserting a blank line. For example: echo -e "\nSigned-off-by: x\nnot trailer" | git interpret-trailers --trailer "c: d" would result in: Signed-off-by: x not trailer c: d Relax the definition of a trailer block to require that the trailers (i) are all trailers, or (ii) contain at least one Git-generated trailer and consists of at least 25% trailers. Signed-off-by: x not trailer c: d (i) is the existing functionality. (ii) allows arbitrary lines to be included in trailer blocks, like those in [1], and still allow interpret-trailers to be used.

2016-06-28doc: typeset long command-line options as literalMatthieu Moy
Similarly to the previous commit, use backquotes instead of forward-quotes, for long options. This was obtained with: perl -pi -e "s/'(--[a-z][a-z=<>-]*)'/\`\$1\`/g" *.txt and manual tweak to remove false positive in ascii-art (o'--o'--o' to describe rewritten history).

2016-01-14interpret-trailers: add option for in-place editingTobias Klauser
Add a command line option --in-place to support in-place editing akin to sed -i. This allows to write commands like the following: git interpret-trailers --trailer "X: Y" a.txt > b.txt && mv b.txt a.txt in a more concise way: git interpret-trailers --trailer "X: Y" --in-place a.txt Signed-off-by: Tobias Klauser <tklauser@distanz.ch> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2014-11-04Documentation: typofixesThomas Ackermann
In addition to fixing trivial and obvious typos, be careful about the following points: - Spell ASCII, URL and CRC in ALL CAPS; - Spell Linux as Capitalized; - Do not omit periods in "i.e." and "e.g.".
