Documentation: git-rev-list's "patterns"

2007-05-19T00:12:10Z

git-rev-list(1) talks about patterns as values for the --grep, --committed etc. parameters, without going into detail. This patch mentions that these patterns are actually regexps. Signed-off-by: Petr Baudis Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

user-manual: reorganize public git repo discussion

2007-05-18T03:23:08Z

Helping a couple people set up public repos recently, I wanted to point them at this piece of the user manual, but found it wasn't as helpful as it could be: - It starts with a big explanation of why you'd want a public repository, not necessary in their case since they already knew why they wanted that. So, separate that out. - It skimps on some of the git-daemon details, and puts the http export information first. Fix that. Also group all the public repo subsections into a single section, and do some miscellaneous related editing. Signed-off-by: "J. Bruce Fields"

user-manual: listing commits reachable from some refs not others

2007-05-18T01:58:53Z

This is just an amusing example raised by someone in irc. Signed-off-by: "J. Bruce Fields"

user-manual: introduce git

2007-05-18T01:58:53Z

Well, we should say at least something about what git is. Signed-off-by: "J. Bruce Fields"

user-manual: add a "counting commits" example

2007-05-18T01:58:51Z

This is partly just an excuse to mention --pretty= and rev-list. Signed-off-by: "J. Bruce Fields"

user-manual: move howto/using-topic-branches into manual

2007-05-18T01:20:10Z

Move howto/using-topic-branches into the user manual as an example for the "sharing development" chapter. While we're at it, remove some discussion that's covered in earlier chapters, modernize somewhat (use separate-heads setup, remotes, replace "whatchanged" by "log", etc.), and replace syntax we'd need to explain by syntax we've already covered (e.g. old..new instead of new ^old). The result may not really describe what Tony Luck does any more.... Hope that's not annoying. Cc: Tony Luck Signed-off-by: "J. Bruce Fields"

user-manual: move howto/make-dist.txt into user manual

2007-05-18T01:08:02Z

There seems to be a perception that the howto's are bit-rotting a little. The manual might be a more visible location for some of them, and make-dist.txt seems like a good candidate to include as an example in the manual. For now, incorporate much of it verbatim. Later we may want to update the example a bit. Signed-off-by: "J. Bruce Fields"

Documentation: remove howto's now incorporated into manual

2007-05-18T01:05:46Z

These two howto's have both been copied into the manual. I'd rather not maintain both versions if possible, and I think the user-manual will be more visible than the howto directory. (Though I wouldn't mind some duplication if people really like having them here.) Signed-off-by: "J. Bruce Fields"
