2016-07-11Merge branch 'jn/preformatted-doc-url' into maintJunio C Hamano
The top level documentation "git help git" still pointed at the documentation set hosted at now-defunct google-code repository. Update it to point to https://git.github.io/htmldocs/git.html instead. * jn/preformatted-doc-url: doc: git-htmldocs.googlecode.com is no more
2016-07-11Merge branch 'sb/clone-shallow-passthru' into maintJunio C Hamano
Fix an unintended regression in v2.9 that breaks "clone --depth" that recurses down to submodules by forcing the submodules to also be cloned shallowly, which many server instances that host upstream of the submodules are not prepared for. * sb/clone-shallow-passthru: clone: do not let --depth imply --shallow-submodules
2016-07-11Merge branch 'mg/signature-doc' into maintJunio C Hamano
Formats of the various data (and how to validate them) where we use GPG signature have been documented. * mg/signature-doc: Documentation/technical: signed merge tag format Documentation/technical: signed commit format Documentation/technical: signed tag format Documentation/technical: describe signature formats

2016-07-06Merge branch 'dn/gpg-doc' into maintJunio C Hamano

"git svn propset" subcommand that was added in 2.3 days is documented now. * ap/git-svn-propset-doc: git-svn: document the 'git svn propset' command
2016-07-06Merge branch 'tr/doc-tt' into maintJunio C Hamano

2016-06-20clone: do not let --depth imply --shallow-submodulesJunio C Hamano
In v2.9.0, we prematurely flipped the default to force cloning submodules shallowly, when the superproject is getting cloned shallowly. This is likely to fail when the upstream repositories submodules are cloned from a repository that is not prepared to serve histories that ends at a commit that is not at the tip of a branch, and we know the world is not yet ready. Use a safer default to clone the submodules fully, unless the user tells us that she knows that the upstream repository of the submodules are willing to cooperate with "--shallow-submodules" option.

2016-06-10Merge branch 'jk/diff-compact-heuristic'Junio C Hamano
It turns out that the earlier effort to update the heuristics may want to use a bit more time to mature. Turn it off by default. * jk/diff-compact-heuristic: diff: disable compaction heuristic for now
2016-06-10diff: disable compaction heuristic for nowJunio C Hamano
http://lkml.kernel.org/g/20160610075043.GA13411@sigill.intra.peff.net reports that a change to add a new "function" with common ending with the existing one at the end of the file is shown like this: def foo do_foo_stuff() + common_ending() +end + +def bar + do_bar_stuff() + common_ending() end when the new heuristic is in use. In reality, the change is to add the blank line before "def bar" and everything below, which is what the code without the new heuristic shows. Disable the heuristics by default, and resurrect the documentation for the option and the configuration variables, while clearly marking the feature as still experimental.

2016-05-31Documentation: bold literals in manErwan Mathoniere
Backticks are emphasized through monospaced styling in the HTML version of Git documentation. But they were left unstyled in the manual pages. To make the man pages more comfortably read, `MAN_BOLD_LITERAL` was added by 5121a6d (Documentation: option to render literal text as bold for manpages, 2009-03-27). It allowed the user to build the manpages with literals in bold style. For precaution it was not set by default back then. Since 79c461d (docs: default to more modern toolset, 2010-11-19), it is assumed ASCIIDOC 8 and at least docbook-xsl 1.73 are used, so the need for compatibility concern is much lessor now. Remove `MAN_BOLD_LITERAL`, and typeset literals as bold by default . Add `NO_MAN_BOLD_LITERAL`, a new Makefile option, disabling this feature when defined.
