2007-01-20Documentation/git.txt: command re-classificationJunio C Hamano
This adds two new classes (pure-helpers and "Interacting with Others") to the command list in the main manual page. The latter class is primarily about foreign SCM interface and is placed before low-level (plumbing) commands. Also it promotes a handful commands to mainporcelain category while demoting some others.

2007-01-17sanitize content of README fileNicolas Pitre
Current README content is way too esoteric for someone looking at GIT for the first time. Instead it should provide a quick summary of what GIT is with a few pointers to other resources. The bulk of the previous README content is moved to Documentation/core-intro.txt. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2007-01-12use 'init' instead of 'init-db' for shipped docs and toolsNicolas Pitre
While 'init-db' still is and probably will always remain a valid git command for obvious backward compatibility reasons, it would be a good idea to move shipped tools and docs to using 'init' instead. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2007-01-08"init-db" can really be just "init"Nicolas Pitre
Make "init" the equivalent of "init-db". This should make first GIT impression a little more friendly. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-12-27Create 'git gc' to perform common maintenance operations.Shawn O. Pearce
Junio asked for a 'git gc' utility which users can execute on a regular basis to perform basic repository actions such as: * pack-refs --prune * reflog expire * repack -a -d * prune * rerere gc So here is a command which does exactly that. The parameters fed to reflog's expire subcommand can be chosen by the user by setting configuration options in .git/config (or ~/.gitconfig), as users may want different expiration windows for each repository but shouldn't be bothered to remember what they are all of the time.

2006-11-27Update documentation to remove incorrect GIT_DIFF_OPTS example.Sean
Git no longer calls an external diff program to generate patches. Remove the documentation which suggests that you can pass arbitrary diff options via the GIT_DIFF_OPTS environment variable. Signed-off-by: Sean Estabrooks <seanlkml@sympatico.ca> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-11-09git-pickaxe: retire pickaxeJunio C Hamano
Just make it take over blame's place. Documentation and command have all stopped mentioning "git-pickaxe". The built-in synonym is left in the command table, so you can still say "git pickaxe", but it probably is a good idea to retire it as well. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-10-28Documentation: fix git-format-patch mark-up and link it from git.txtJunio C Hamano
Two asterisks the SYNOPSIS section were mistaken as emphasis, and the latter backtick in "`<key>`s" were not recognized as closing backtick. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-10-25Refer to git-rev-parse:Specifying Revisions from git.txtJunio C Hamano
The brief list given in "Symbolic Identifiers" section of the main documentation is good enough for overview, but help the reader to find a more comrehensive list as needed. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-10-20git-pickaxe: blame rewritten.Junio C Hamano
Currently it does what git-blame does, but only faster. More importantly, its internal structure is designed to support content movement (aka cut-and-paste) more easily by allowing more than one paths to be taken from the same commit. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

This patch documents zip backend options. It also adds git-archive command into the main git manual page. Signed-off-by: Franck Bui-Huu <vagabon.xyz@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-09-25Remove upload-tar and make git-tar-tree a thin wrapper to git-archiveJunio C Hamano
The command now issues a big deprecation warning message and runs git-archive command with appropriate arguments. git-tar-tree $tree_ish $base always forces $base to be the leading directory name, so the --prefix parameter passed internally to git-archive is a slash appended to it, i.e. "--prefix=$base/".

2006-07-25git wrapper: add --git-dir=<path> and --bare optionsJohannes Schindelin
With this, you can say git --bare repack -a -d inside a bare repository, and it will actually work. While at it, also move the --version, --help and --exec-path options to the handle_options() function. While at documenting the new options, also document the --paginate option.

2006-04-03Documentation: revise top of git man pageJ. Bruce Fields
I'm afraid I'll be accused of trying to suck all the jokes and the personality out of the git documentation. I'm not! Really! That said, "man git" is one of the first things a new user is likely try, and it seems a little cruel to start off with a somewhat obscure joke about the architecture of git. So instead I'm trying for a relatively straightforward description of what git does, and what features distinguish it from other systems, together with immediate links to introductory documentation. I also did some minor reorganization in an attempt to clarify the classification of commands. And revised a bit for conciseness (as is obvious from the diffstat--hopefully I didn't cut anything important). Signed-off-by: J.

2006-02-07git-rerere: reuse recorded resolve.Junio C Hamano
In a workflow that employs relatively long lived topic branches, the developer sometimes needs to resolve the same conflict over and over again until the topic branches are done (either merged to the "release" branch, or sent out and accepted upstream). This commit introduces a new command, "git rerere", to help this process by recording the conflicted automerge results and corresponding hand-resolve results on the initial manual merge, and later by noticing the same conflicted automerge and applying the previously recorded hand resolution using three-way merge.
