2007-11-28Improve description of git-branch -d and -D in man page.Jan Hudec
Some users expect that deleting a remote-tracking branch would prevent fetch from creating it again, so be explcit about that it's not the case. Also be a little more explicit about what fully merged means. Signed-off-by: Jan Hudec <bulb@ucw.cz> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2007-11-26user-manual: clarify language about "modifying" old commitsJ. Bruce Fields
It's important to remember that git doesn't really allowing "editing" or "modifying" commits, only replacing them by new commits. Redo some of the language to make this clearer. Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu>

2007-11-20Doc fix for git-reflog: mention @{...} syntax, and <ref> in synopsys.Matthieu Moy
The HEAD@{...} syntax was documented in git-rev-parse manpage, which is hard to find by someone looking for the documentation of porcelain. git-reflog is probably the place where one expects to find this. While I'm there, "git revlog show whatever" was also undocumented. Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2007-11-18user-manual: Add section "Why bisecting merge commits can be harder ..."Steffen Prohaska
This commit adds a discussion of the challenge of bisecting merge commits to the user manual. The original author is Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>, who posted the text to the mailing list <http://marc.info/?l=git&m=119403257315527&w=2>. His email was adapted for the manual. The discussion is added to "Rewriting history and maintainig patch series". The text added requires good understanding of merging and rebasing. Therefore it should not be placed too early in the manual. Right after the section on "Problems with rewriting history", the discussion of bisect gives another reason for linearizing as much of the history as possible. The text includes suggestions and fixes by Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> and Benoit Sigoure <tsuna@lrde.epita.fr>. Signed-off-by: Steffen Prohaska <prohaska@zib.de> Signed-off-by: J.

Customize diff-options depending on particular command as follows, mostly to make git-diff and git-format-patch manuals less confusing: * git-format-patch: - Mark --patch-with-stat as being the default. - Change -p description so that it matches what it actually does and so that it doesn't refer to absent "section on generating patches". * git-diff: mark -p as being the default. * git-diff-index/git-diff-files/git-diff-tree: mark --raw as being the default.

2007-11-14Documentation: Fix man page breakage with DocBook XSL v1.72Jonas Fonseca
From version 1.72 it will replace all dots in roff requests with U+2302 ("house" character), and add escaping in output for all instances of dot that are not in roff requests. This caused the ".ft" hack forcing monospace font in listingblocks to end up as "\&.ft" and being visible in the resulting man page. The fix adds a DOCBOOK_XSL_172 build variable that will disable the hack. To allow this variable to be defined in config.mak it also moves build variable handling below the inclusion of config.mak.
