2013-04-26Merge branch 'jn/glossary-revision'Junio C Hamano
The wording for "revision" in the glossary wanted to say it refers to "commit (noun) as a concept" but it was badly phrased. This may need further updates to hint that in contexts where it is clear, the word may refer to an object name, not necessarily a commit. But the patch as-is is already an improvement. * jn/glossary-revision: glossary: a revision is just a commit

pretty-printing body of the commit that is stored in non UTF-8 encoding did not work well. The early part of this series fixes it.

2013-04-22git add: --ignore-removal is a better named --no-allJunio C Hamano
In the historical context of "git add --all ." that pays attention to "all kinds of changes" (implying "without ignoring removals"), the option to countermand it "--no-all" may have made sense, but because we will be making "--all" the default when a pathspec is given, it makes more sense to rename the option to a more explicit "--ignore-removal". The "--all" option naturally becomes its negation, "--no-ignore-removal". Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2013-04-22git-shortlog.txt: make SYNOPSIS match log, update OPTIONSRamkumar Ramachandra
There are broadly two problems with the current SYNOPSIS. First, it completely omits the detail that paths can be specified. Second, it attempts to list all the options: this is futile as, in addition to the options unique to it, it accepts all the options that git-rev-list accepts. In fixing these problems, make the SYNOPSIS consistent with that in git-log.txt. Also add the corresponding sections to OPTIONS. Save adding the options from rev-list-options.txt for a later patch, as it requires some work to pick out the options that are relevant to shortlog.

2013-04-22git-log.txt: rewrite note on why "--" may be requiredRamkumar Ramachandra
In its current form, the note talks about separating options from "branch names" and "refnames" in the same sentence. This is entirely inaccurate, as <revision range> need not be a set of branch names or ref names. Rewrite it to use the word "revision range", to be consistent with the SYNOPSIS.

2013-04-22git-log.txt: generalize <since>..<until>Ramkumar Ramachandra
'<since>..<until>' is misleading, as there are many other forms that 'git log' can accept as an argument. Replace it with <revision range>, referring to the section "Specifying Ranges" in revisions.txt, and rewrite the section appropriately.

2013-04-22git-log.txt: order OPTIONS properly; move <since>..<until>Ramkumar Ramachandra
The OPTIONS section lists <since>..<until> as the first item, but this is inconsistent with the ordering in SYNOPSIS. Move it down until it appears just before [[--] <path>...]. Signed-off-by: Ramkumar Ramachandra <artagnon@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2013-04-22glossary: a revision is just a commitJonathan Nieder
The current definition of 'revision' sounds like it is saying that a revision is a tree object. In reality it is just a commit. This should be especially useful for people used to other revision control systems trying to see how familiar concepts translate into git terms.

2013-04-18pretty: support %>> that steal trailing spacesNguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy
This is pretty useful in `%<(100)%s%Cred%>(20)% an' where %s does not use up all 100 columns and %an needs more than 20 columns. By replacing %>(20) with %>>(20), %an can steal spaces from %s. %>> understands escape sequences, so %Cred does not stop it from stealing spaces in %<(100).

2013-04-18pretty: support truncating in %>, %< and %><Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy
%>(N,trunc) truncates the right part after N columns and replace the last two letters with "..". ltrunc does the same on the left. mtrunc cuts the middle out. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-04-18pretty: support padding placeholders, %< %> and %><Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy
Either %<, %> or %>< standing before a placeholder specifies how many columns (at least as the placeholder can exceed it) it takes. Each differs on how spaces are padded: %< pads on the right (aka left alignment) %> pads on the left (aka right alignment) %>< pads both ways equally (aka centered) The (<N>) follows them, e.g. `%<(100)', to specify the number of columns the next placeholder takes. However, if '|' stands before (<N>), e.g. `%>|(100)', then the number of columns is calculated so that it reaches the Nth column on screen.

Highlight that CONFIG_SYSTEM and /etc/gitweb.conf are meant to be the fallback configuration file in BUGS section of gitweb.conf documentation. This will hopefully help people who expect them to be a common default, which unfortunately came later in the history.
