2005-12-20Remove "octopus".Junio C Hamano
We still advertise "git resolve" as a standalone command, but never "git octopus", so nobody should be using it and it is safe to retire it. The functionality is still available as a strategy backend. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-12-13Documentation: not learning core git commands.Junio C Hamano
The initial section of tutorial was too heavy on internal workings for the first-time readers, so rewrite the introductory section of git(7) to start with "not learning core git commands" section and refer them to README to grasp the basic concepts, then Everyday to give overview with task/role oriented examples for minimum set of commands, and finally the tutorial. Also add to existing note in the tutorial that many too technical descriptions can be skipped by a casual reader. I initially started to review the tutorial, with the objective of ripping out the detailed technical information altogether, but I found that the level of details in the initial couple of sections that talk about refs and the object database in a hands-on fashion was about rigth, and left all of them there. I feel that reading about fsck-index and repack is too abstract without being aware of these directories and files. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2005-11-16git --help COMMAND brings up the git-COMMAND man-page.Andreas Ericsson
It's by design a bit stupid (matching ^git rather than ^git-), so as to work with 'gitk' and 'git' as well. Signed-off-by: Andreas Ericsson <ae@op5.se> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-11-16Update git(7) man-page for the C wrapper.Andreas Ericsson
The program 'git' now has --exec-path which needs explaining. Renamed old "DESCRIPTION" to "CORE GIT COMMANDS" to make room for "OPTIONS" while following follow some sort of convention. Also updated AUTHORS section to pat my own back a bit. Signed-off-by: Andreas Ericsson <ae@op5.se> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2005-11-13Rename lost+found to lost-found.Junio C Hamano
Because we use "lost-found" as the directory name to hold dangling object names, it is confusing to call the command git-lost+found, although it makes sense and is even cute ;-). Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

This command helps you resurrect accidentally lost tags and commits. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-11-11Change 'cache' to 'index' in the docsLukas_Sandström
This patch makes the documentation refer to the index as index instead of cache, but some references still remain. (e.g. git-update-index.txt) Signed-off-by: Lukas Sandström <lukass@etek.chalmers.se> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-11-01Remove 'Previously this command was known as ...' messages.Jon Loeliger
For a 1.0 release, there is no need to maintain the historical "Previously this command was known as..." information on the doc splash page. It is noise; command names should stand on their own now. Signed-off-by: Jon Loeliger <jdl@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2005-09-22Retire diff-helper.Junio C Hamano
The textual diff generation with built-in '-p' in diff-* brothers has proven to be useful enough that git-diff-helper outlived its usefulness. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-09-22Retire rev-tree.Junio C Hamano
Some old scripts might still use git-rev-tree, but it really is clearly inferior in every way to git-rev-list that such scripts should be fixed anyway. Fixing them should be pretty easy. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-09-22Retire git-export.Junio C Hamano
git-export was done as a concept example on how easy it is to export the git data to something else. It's much less powerful than any number of trivial one-liner scripts now, and real exporters would not ever use git-export. It's obviously much less powerful than "git-whatchanged", or just about any combination of git-rev-list + git-diff-tree. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

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.
