2013-11-12Correct word usage of "timezone" in "Documentation" directoryJason St. John
"timezone" is two words, not one (i.e. "time zone" is correct). Correct this in these files: -- date-formats.txt -- git-blame.txt -- git-cvsimport.txt -- git-fast-import.txt -- git-svn.txt -- gitweb.conf.txt -- rev-list-options.txt Signed-off-by: Jason St. John <jstjohn@purdue.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2013-10-31Documentation: restore a space in unpack-objects usageVivien Didelot
The commit 87b7b84 removed a space in the unpack-objects usage, which makes the synopsis a bit confusing. This patch simply restores it. Signed-off-by: Vivien Didelot <vivien.didelot@savoirfairelinux.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-10-31doc/pull: clarify the illustrationsJunio C Hamano
The second illustration that shows the history after "git pull" spelled the remote-tracking branch with "remotes/" prefix, which is not necessary. Drop it. To match the assumption that a remote-tracking branch is used to keep track of the advancement of the master at the origin, update the first illustration that shows the history before "git pull" to show the distinction between the master currently at origin and the stale origin/master remote-tracking branch.

2013-10-22git-svn docs: Use tabs consistently within the ascii docStefan Beller
While I can understand 4 or 7 white spaces are fancy, we'd rather want to use tabs throughout the whole document. Signed-off-by: Stefan Beller <stefanbeller@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-10-22Documentation: revamp gitk(1)Thomas Rast
The gitk manpage suffers from a bit of neglect: there have been only minor changes, and no changes to the set of options documented, since a2df1fb (Documentation: New GUI configuration and command-line options., 2008-11-13). In the meantime, the set of rev-list options has been expanded several times by options that are useful in gitk, e.g., --ancestry-path and the optional globbing for --branches, --tags and --remotes. Restructure and expand the manpage. List more options that the author perceives as useful, while remaining somewhat terse. Ideally the user should not have to look up any of the references, but we dispense with precise explanations in some places and refer to git-log(1) instead. Note that the options that have an easy GUI equivalent (e.g., --word-diff, -S, --grep) are deliberately not listed even in the cases where they simply fill in the GUI fields.

Document rules to use GIT_REFLOG_ACTION variable in the scripted Porcelain. git-rebase--interactive locally violates them, but it is a leaf user that does not call out to or dot-source other scripts, so it does not urgently need to be fixed. * jc/reflog-doc: setup_reflog_action: document the rules for using GIT_REFLOG_ACTION
