2008-01-16close_lock_file(): new function in the lockfile APIBrandon Casey
The lockfile API is a handy way to obtain a file that is cleaned up if you die(). But sometimes you would need this sequence to work: 1. hold_lock_file_for_update() to get a file descriptor for writing; 2. write the contents out, without being able to decide if the results should be committed or rolled back; 3. do something else that makes the decision --- and this "something else" needs the lockfile not to have an open file descriptor for writing (e.g. Windows do not want a open file to be renamed); 4. call commit_lock_file() or rollback_lock_file() as appropriately. This adds close_lock_file() you can call between step 2 and 3 in the above sequence. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

We have nice set of placeholders, but nobody stepped in to fill the gap in the API documentation, so I am doing it myself. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2007-12-15Start preparing the API documents.Junio C Hamano
Most of them are still stubs, but the procedure to build the HTML documentation, maintaining the index and installing the end product are there. I placed names of people who are likely to know the most about the topic in the stub files, so that volunteers will know whom to ask questions as needed.

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.

2007-03-20Provide some technical documentation for shallow clonesJohannes Schindelin
There has not been any work on the shallow stuff lately, so it is hard to find out what it does, and how. This document describes the ideas as well as the current problems, and can serve as a starting point for shallow people.
