2011-09-06Revert "Merge branch 'cb/maint-quiet-push' into maint"Junio C Hamano
This reverts commit ffa69e61d3c5730bd4b65a465efc130b0ef3c7df, reversing changes made to 4a13c4d14841343d7caad6ed41a152fee550261d. Adding a new command line option to receive-pack and feed it from send-pack is not an acceptable way to add features, as there is no guarantee that your updated send-pack will be talking to updated receive-pack. New features need to be added via the capability mechanism negotiated over the protocol. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2011-08-23Merge branch 'cb/maint-quiet-push' into maintJunio C Hamano
* cb/maint-quiet-push: receive-pack: do not overstep command line argument array propagate --quiet to send-pack/receive-pack Conflicts: Documentation/git-receive-pack.txt Documentation/git-send-pack.txt
2011-08-01propagate --quiet to send-pack/receive-packClemens Buchacher
Currently, git push --quiet produces some non-error output, e.g.: $ git push --quiet Unpacking objects: 100% (3/3), done. Add the --quiet option to send-pack/receive-pack and pass it to unpack-objects in the receive-pack codepath and to receive-pack in the push codepath.

2011-07-06Documentation: use [verse] for SYNOPSIS sectionsMartin von Zweigbergk
The SYNOPSIS sections of most commands that span several lines already use [verse] to retain line breaks. Most commands that don't span several lines seem not to use [verse]. In the HTML output, [verse] does not only preserve line breaks, but also makes the section indented, which causes a slight inconsistency between commands that use [verse] and those that don't. Use [verse] in all SYNOPSIS sections for consistency. Also remove the blank lines from git-fetch.txt and git-rebase.txt to align with the other man pages. In the case of git-rebase.txt, which already uses [verse], the blank line makes the [verse] not apply to the last line, so removing the blank line also makes the formatting within the document more consistent. While at it, add single quotes to 'git cvsimport' for consistency with other commands.

2011-03-11doc: drop author/documentation sections from most pagesJeff King
The point of these sections is generally to: 1. Give credit where it is due. 2. Give the reader an idea of where to ask questions or file bug reports. But they don't do a good job of either case. For (1), they are out of date and incomplete. A much more accurate answer can be gotten through shortlog or blame. For (2), the correct contact point is generally git@vger, and even if you wanted to cc the contact point, the out-of-date and incomplete fields mean you're likely sending to somebody useless. So let's drop the fields entirely from all manpages except git(1) itself. We already point people to the mailing list for bug reports there, and we can update the Authors section to give credit to the major contributors and point to shortlog and blame for more information. Each page has a "This is part of git" footer, so people can follow that to the main git manpage.
2010-02-19Documentation: describe --thin more accuratelyStephen Boyd
The description for --thin was misleading and downright wrong. Correct it with some inspiration from the description of index-pack's --fix-thin and some background information from Nicolas Pitre <nico@fluxnic.net>.

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.

2008-07-05manpages: italicize git command names (which were in teletype font)Jonathan Nieder
The names of git commands are not meant to be entered at the commandline; they are just names. So we render them in italics, as is usual for command names in manpages. Using doit () { perl -e 'for (<>) { s/\`(git-[^\`.]*)\`/'\''\1'\''/g; print }' } for i in git*.txt config.txt diff*.txt blame*.txt fetch*.txt i18n.txt \ merge*.txt pretty*.txt pull*.txt rev*.txt urls*.txt do doit <"$i" >"$i+" && mv "$i+" "$i" done git diff .

2008-07-02Documentation formatting and cleanupJonathan Nieder
Following what appears to be the predominant style, format names of commands and commandlines both as `teletype text`. While we're at it, add articles ("a" and "the") in some places, italicize the name of the command in the manual page synopsis line, and add a comma or two where it seems appropriate.

2008-07-02Documentation: be consistent about "git-" versus "git "Jonathan Nieder
Since the git-* commands are not installed in $(bindir), using "git-command <parameters>" in examples in the documentation is not a good idea. On the other hand, it is nice to be able to refer to each command using one hyphenated word. (There is no escaping it, anyway: man page names cannot have spaces in them.) This patch retains the dash in naming an operation, command, program, process, or action. Complete command lines that can be entered at a shell (i.e., without options omitted) are made to use the dashless form. The changes consist only of replacing some spaces with hyphens and vice versa. After a "s/ /-/g", the unpatched and patched versions are identical. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@uchicago.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-06-08Docs: Use "-l::\n--long\n" format in OPTIONS sectionsStephan Beyer
The OPTIONS section of a documentation file contains a list of the options a git command accepts. Currently there are several variants to describe the case that different options (almost) do the same in the OPTIONS section. Some are: -f, --foo:: -f|--foo:: -f | --foo:: But AsciiDoc has the special form: -f:: --foo:: This patch applies this form to the documentation of the whole git suite, and removes useless em-dash prevention, so \--foo becomes --foo.

2007-11-19push: use same rules as git-rev-parse to resolve refspecsSteffen Prohaska
This commit changes the rules for resolving refspecs to match the rules for resolving refs in rev-parse. git-rev-parse uses clear rules to resolve a short ref to its full name, which are well documented. The rules for resolving refspecs documented in git-send-pack were less strict and harder to understand. This commit replaces them by the rules of git-rev-parse. The unified rules are easier to understand and better resolve ambiguous cases. You can now push from a repository containing several branches ending on the same short name. Note, this may break existing setups. For example, "master" will no longer resolve to "origin/master" even when there is no other "master" elsewhere.

2005-10-03[PATCH] Random documentation fixesJonas Fonseca
The fixes focuses on improving the HTML output. Most noteworthy: - Fix the Makefile to also make various *.html files depend on included files. - Consistently use 'NOTE: ...' instead of '[ ... ]' for additional info. - Fix ending '::' for description lists in OPTION section etc. - Fix paragraphs in description lists ending up as preformated text. - Always use listingblocks (preformatted text wrapped in lines with -----) for examples that span empty lines, so they are put in only one HTML block. - Use '1.' instead of '(1)' for numbered lists. - Fix linking to other GIT docs. - git-rev-list.txt: put option descriptions in an OPTION section.
