2010-08-09Documentation: add a FILES section for show-refJonathan Nieder
A peek at where the refs are kept might help understanding, even if, as the DESCRIPTION section suggests, direct access is not part of the public API. Balance that out with a pointer to update-ref.

2010-08-09Documentation/git-log: Clarify --full-diffMichael J Gruber
The current description gives the impression that "--full-diff" affects "log -p" only. Make it clearer that it affects all diff-based output types. Signed-off-by: Michael J Gruber <git@drmicha.warpmail.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2010-08-09Document -B<n>[/<m>], -M<n> and -C<n> variants of -B, -M and -CMatthieu Moy
These options take an optional argument, but this optional argument was not documented. Original patch by Matthieu Moy, but documentation for -B mostly copied from the explanations of Junio C Hamano. While we're there, fix a typo in a comment in diffcore.h. Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2010-08-09Documentation: cite git-am from git-applyBrad King
Users reading git-apply documentation may also be interested in git-am, especially after receiving an email created with git-format-patch. The documentation for git-am already references git-apply.

2010-08-02Documentation/rev-parse: quoting is required with --parseoptThomas Rast
When calling rev-parse --parseopt, as in the (now fixed) documented example eval "$(echo "$OPTS_SPEC" | git rev-parse --parseopt -- "$@" || echo exit $?)" the outermost quoting is required, as otherwise all runs of arbitrary whitespace inside the resulting 'set -- ...' call would be collapsed into a single space. This was exposed as a result of our new use of cat <<\EOF since 47e9cd2 (parseopt: wrap rev-parse --parseopt usage for eval consumption, 2010-06-12), but has always been a problem when handling arguments containing e.g. newlines. Point this out in the documentation, and in particular correct the example that did not have the quotes.

2010-07-28Document ls-files -t as semi-obsolete.Matthieu Moy
The behavior of "git ls-files -t" is very misleading (see http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/126516 and http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/144394/focus=144397 for examples of mislead users) and badly documented, hence we point the users to superior alternatives. The feature is marked as "semi-obsolete" but not "scheduled for removal" since it's a plumbing command, scripts might use it, and Git testsuite already uses it to test the state of the index.

2010-07-19git submodule add: Require the new --force option to add ignored pathsJens Lehmann
To make the behavior of "git submodule add" more consistent with "git add" ignored submodule paths should not be silently added when they match an entry in a .gitignore file. To be able to override that default behavior in the same way as we can do that for "git add", the new option "--force" is introduced.

2010-07-15gitmodules.5: url can be a relative pathJonathan Nieder
There is already excellent documentation for this facility in git-submodule.1, but it is not so discoverable. Relative paths in .gitmodules can be useful for serving the same repository over multiple protocols, for example. Thanks to Peter for pointing this out.

Sometimes it is useful to know if a file or directory will be ignored before it is added to the work tree.

2010-07-08Reorganize `git-log' man page to clarify common diff options.Eli Barzilay
This will reduce considerably the common confusion where people miss the `--follow' option, and wonder why `-M'/`-C' is not working. * Move the diff options include to after the log-specific flags, and add a "Common diff options" subtitle before them. (These options apply only when patches are shown, which is not a common use case among newbies, so having them first is confusing.) * Move the `--follow' description to the top of the listed options. The options before that seem less important: `--full-diff' applies only when patches are shown, `--source' and `--decorate' are less useful with many common commit specifications. * Clarify that `--follow' works only for a single path argument.
