documentation: use the word "index" in the git-commit man page

2007-08-06T05:08:54Z

As with git-add, I think previous updates to the git-commit man page did indeed help make it more user-friendly. But I think the banishment of the word "index" from the description goes too far; reinstate its use, to simplify some of the language slightly and smooth the transition to other documentation.

Document commit.template configuration variable.

2007-07-26T23:57:24Z

Add it to the list in config.txt and explicitly say that the --template option to git-commit overrides the configuration variable. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Teach git-commit about commit message templates.

2007-07-25T03:46:54Z

These are useful in organizations that enforce particular formats for commit messages, e.g., to specify bug IDs or test plans. Use of the template is not enforced; it is simply used as the initial content when the editor is invoked. Signed-off-by: Steven Grimm Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Add GIT_EDITOR environment and core.editor configuration variables

2007-07-20T07:46:34Z

These variables let you specify an editor that will be launched in preference to the EDITOR and VISUAL environment variables. The order of preference is GIT_EDITOR, core.editor, EDITOR, VISUAL.

Document git commit --untracked-files and --verbose

2007-07-13T03:22:07Z

Documentation based on description of commit 443f8338 which added '-u'|'--untracked-files' option to git-status, and on git-runstatus(1) man page. Note that those options apply also to git-status. Signed-off-by: Jakub Narebski Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Document long options '--message=' and '--no-commit'

2007-07-13T03:22:06Z

Document that '--message=' is long version of '-m ' in git-commit, and that '--no-checkout' is long version of '-n' in git-clone. Signed-off-by: Jakub Narebski Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

git-commit: add a --interactive option

2007-03-09T08:05:23Z

The --interactive option behaves like "git commit", except that "git add --interactive" is executed before committing. It is incompatible with -a and -i. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Documentation: --amend cannot be combined with -c/-C/-F.

2007-01-24T23:32:52Z

We used to get the following confusing error message: $ git commit --amend -a -m foo Option -m cannot be combined with -c/-C/-F This is because --amend cannot be combined with -c/-C/-F, which makes sense, because they try to handle the same log message in different ways. So update the documentation to reflect this. Signed-off-by: Peter Eriksen Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Documentation: sync git.txt command list and manual page title

2007-01-18T23:53:37Z

Also reorders a handful entries to make each list sorted alphabetically. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
