2005-12-17Examples of resetting.Junio C Hamano
Morten Welinder says examples of resetting is really about recovering from botched commit/pulls. I agree that pointers from commands that cause a reset to be needed in the first place would be very helpful. Also reset examples did not mention "pull/merge" cases.

2005-12-02git-merge documentation: conflicting merge leaves higher stages in indexJunio C Hamano
This hopefully concludes the latest updates that changes the behaviour of the merge on an unsuccessful automerge. Instead of collapsing the conflicted path in the index to show HEAD, we leave it unmerged, now that diff-files can compare working tree files with higher stages.

2005-11-29Documentation: Describe merge operation a bit better.Junio C Hamano

2005-11-07Refactored merge options into separate merge-options.txt.Jon Loeliger
Refactored fetch options into separate fetch-options.txt. Made git-merge use merge-options. Made git-fetch use fetch-options. Made git-pull use merge-options and fetch-options. Added --help option to git-pull and git-format-patch scripts. Rewrote Documentation/Makefile to dynamically determine include dependencies.

2005-11-05Documentation: git-fetch/pull updates.Junio C Hamano
We do not accept multiple <refspecs> on one Pull:/Push: line right now (we could lift this tentative workaround for the broken refnames), but we have always accepted multiple such lines, so use that form in the examples and discussion. Also explicitly mention that Octopus is made only with an explicit command line request and never from Pull: lines. Add a couple of cross references. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
