2018-02-22Documentation/gitsubmodules.txt: avoid non-ASCII apostrophesMotoki Seki
In gitsubmodules.txt, a few non-ASCII apostrophes are used to spell possessive, e.g. "submodule's". These unfortunately are not rendered at https://git-scm.com/docs/gitsubmodules correctly by the renderer used there. Use ASCII apostrophes instead to work around the problem. It also is good to be consistent, as there are possessives spelled with ASCII apostrophes.

2018-02-16git-worktree.txt: fix indentation of example and text of 'add' commandEric Sunshine
When 4e85333197 (worktree: make add <path> <branch> dwim, 2017-11-26) added an example command in a literal code block, it neglected to insert a mandatory "+" line before the block. This omission resulted in both the literal code block and the (existing) paragraph following the block to be outdented, even though they should be indented under the 'add' sub-command along with the rest of the text pertaining to that command. Furthermore, the mandatory "+" line separating the code block from the following text got rendered as a leading character on the line ("+ If <commit-ish>...") rather than being treated as a formatting directive. Fix these problems by adding the missing "+" line before the example code block. Signed-off-by: Eric Sunshine <sunshine@sunshineco.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2018-02-15Documentation/git-status: clarify status table for porcelain modeStefan Beller
It is possible to have the output ' A' from 'git status --porcelain' by adding a file using the '--intend-to-add' flag. Make this clear by adding the pattern in the table of the documentation. However the mode 'DM' (deleted in the index, modified in the working tree) is not possible in the non-merge case in which the file only shows as 'D ' (and adding it back to the worktree would show an additional line of an '??' untracked file). It is also not possible in the merge case as then the mode involves a 'U' on one side of the merge. Remove that pattern.

2018-02-02gitignore.txt: elaborate shell glob syntaxDuy Nguyen
`fnmatch(3)` is a great mention if the intended audience is programmers. For normal users it's probably better to spell out what a shell glob is. This paragraph is updated to roughly tell (or remind) what the main wildcards are supposed to do. All the details are still hidden away behind the `fnmatch(3)` wall because bringing the whole specification here may be too much.

2018-01-30doc: mention 'git show' defaults to HEADTodd Zullinger
When 'git show' is called without any object it defaults to HEAD. This has been true since d4ed9793fd ("Simplify common default options setup for built-in log family.", 2006-04-16).

2018-01-19http: support omitting data from tracesJonathan Tan
GIT_TRACE_CURL provides a way to debug what is being sent and received over HTTP, with automatic redaction of sensitive information. But it also logs data transmissions, which significantly increases the log file size, sometimes unnecessarily. Add an option "GIT_TRACE_CURL_NO_DATA" to allow the user to omit such data transmissions. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Tan <jonathantanmy@google.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2018-01-04docs/diff-options: clarify scope of diff-filter typesJeff King
The same document for "--diff-filter" is included by many programs in the diff family. Because it mentions all possible types (added, removed, etc), this may imply to the reader that all types can be generated by a particular command. But this isn't necessarily the case; "diff-files" cannot generally produce an "Added" entry, since the diff is limited to what is already in the index. Let's make it clear that the list here is the full one, and does not imply anything about what a particular invocation may produce. Note that conditionally including items (e.g., omitting "Added" in the git-diff-files manpage) isn't the right solution here for two reasons: - The problem isn't diff-files, but doing an index to working tree diff. "git diff" can do the same diff, but also has other modes where "Added" does show up. - The direction of the diff matters. Doing "diff-files -R" can get you Added entries (but not Deleted ones). So it's best just to explain that the set of available types depends on the specific diff invocation.
