remove doubled words, e.g., s/to to/to/, and fix related typos

2011-04-13T18:59:11Z

I found that some doubled words had snuck back into projects from which I'd already removed them, so now there's a "syntax-check" makefile rule in gnulib to help prevent recurrence. Running the command below spotted a few in git, too: git ls-files | xargs perl -0777 -n \ -e 'while (/\b(then?|[iao]n|i[fst]|but|f?or|at|and|[dt])\s+\1\b/gims)' \ -e '{$n=($` =~ tr/\n/\n/ + 1); ($v=$&)=~s/\n/\\n/g;' \ -e 'print "$ARGV:$n:$v\n"}' Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Doc: mention --delta-base-offset is the default for Porcelain commands

2011-04-03T06:08:13Z

The underlying pack-objects plumbing command still needs an explicit option from the command line, but these days Porcelain passes the option, so there is no need for end users to worry about it anymore. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

doc: drop author/documentation sections from most pages

2011-03-11T15:59:16Z

The point of these sections is generally to: 1. Give credit where it is due. 2. Give the reader an idea of where to ask questions or file bug reports. But they don't do a good job of either case. For (1), they are out of date and incomplete. A much more accurate answer can be gotten through shortlog or blame. For (2), the correct contact point is generally git@vger, and even if you wanted to cc the contact point, the out-of-date and incomplete fields mean you're likely sending to somebody useless. So let's drop the fields entirely from all manpages except git(1) itself. We already point people to the mailing list for bug reports there, and we can update the Authors section to give credit to the major contributors and point to shortlog and blame for more information. Each page has a "This is part of git" footer, so people can follow that to the main git manpage.

Use parentheses and `...' where appropriate

pack-objects documentation: reword "objects that appear in the standard input"

2010-02-24T23:41:27Z

These were written back when we always read objects from the standard input. These days --revs and its friends can feed only the start and end points and have the command internally enumerate the objects. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
