2007-08-25Documentation: Correct various misspellings and typos.Brian Hetro
Fix minor typos throughout the documentation. Signed-off-by: Brian Hetro <whee@smaertness.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-06-07War on whitespaceJunio C Hamano
This uses "git-apply --whitespace=strip" to fix whitespace errors that have crept in to our source files over time. There are a few files that need to have trailing whitespaces (most notably, test vectors). The results still passes the test, and build result in Documentation/ area is unchanged.

2007-05-22Teach git-describe how to run name-revShawn O. Pearce
Often users want to know not which tagged version a commit came after, but which tagged version a commit is contained within. This latter task is the job of git-name-rev, but most users are looking to git-describe to do the job. Junio suggested we make `git describe --contains` run the correct tool, `git name-rev`, and that's exactly what we do here. The output of name-rev was adjusted slightly through the new --name-only option, allowing describe to execv into name-rev and maintain its current output format. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2007-02-17name-rev: introduce the --refs=<pattern> optionJohannes Schindelin
Instead of (or, in addition to) --tags, to use only tags for naming, you can now use --refs=<pattern> to specify a shell glob pattern which the refs must match to be used for naming. Example: $ git name-rev --refs=*v1* 33db5f4d 33db5f4d tags/v1.0rc1^0~1593 Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <Johannes.Schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-07-10Fix more typos, primarily in the codePavel Roskin
The only visible change is that git-blame doesn't understand "--compability" anymore, but it does accept "--compatibility" instead, which is already documented. Signed-off-by: Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-06-07Some doc typo fixesFrancis Daly
All should be clear enough, except perhaps committish / commitish. I just kept the more-used one within the current docs. [jc: with rephrasing of check-ref-format description later discussed on the list] Signed-off-by: Francis Daly <francis@daoine.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-05-05Several trivial documentation touch ups.sean
Move incorrect asciidoc level 2 titles back to level 1. Show output of git-name-rev in man page example. Reword sentences that begin with a period (.) in asciidoc numbered lists to work around conversion to man page bug. Mention that git-repack now calls git-prune-packed when the -d option is passed to it. [imap] section headers in the config file example need to be contained in a literal block. imap.pass is the proper config file variable to use, not imap.password.

2005-10-26Add git-name-revJohannes Schindelin
git-name-rev tries to find nice symbolic names for commits. It does so by walking the commits from the refs. When the symbolic name is ambiguous, the following heuristic is applied: Try to avoid too many ~'s, and if two ambiguous names have the same count of ~'s, take the one whose last number is smaller. With "--tags", the names are derived only from tags. With "--stdin", the stdin is parsed, and after every sha1 for which a name could be found, the name is appended. (Try "git log | git name-rev --stdin".) Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <Johannes.Schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
