Documentation: use [verse] for SYNOPSIS sections

2011-07-06T21:26:26Z

The SYNOPSIS sections of most commands that span several lines already use [verse] to retain line breaks. Most commands that don't span several lines seem not to use [verse]. In the HTML output, [verse] does not only preserve line breaks, but also makes the section indented, which causes a slight inconsistency between commands that use [verse] and those that don't. Use [verse] in all SYNOPSIS sections for consistency. Also remove the blank lines from git-fetch.txt and git-rebase.txt to align with the other man pages. In the case of git-rebase.txt, which already uses [verse], the blank line makes the [verse] not apply to the last line, so removing the blank line also makes the formatting within the document more consistent. While at it, add single quotes to 'git cvsimport' for consistency with other commands. Signed-off-by: Martin von Zweigbergk Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

gitdiffcore doc: update pickaxe description

2010-08-31T21:28:20Z

The old text described the original design (one side does not have it at all while the other side has it); this was later amended to check if the number of occurrences changed, which is what we currently do with -S. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Documentation/gitdiffcore: fix order in pickaxe description

2010-05-19T04:55:11Z

Reverse the order of "origin" and "result" so that the sentence really describes an addition rather than a removal. Signed-off-by: Michael J Gruber Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Merge branch 'maint-1.6.6' into maint

2010-03-22T00:00:22Z

* maint-1.6.6: Documentation/git-clone: Transform description list into item list Documentation/urls: Remove spurious example markers Documentation/gitdiffcore: Remove misleading date in heading Documentation/git-reflog: Fix formatting of command lists

Documentation/gitdiffcore: Remove misleading date in heading

2010-03-21T21:40:18Z

Ever since the automatic conversion into man form, the heading contained a misidentified subheading reading "June 2005". Remove this since the documentation is more recent, and the correct date is in the footer. Signed-off-by: Michael J Gruber Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Documentation: spell 'git cmd' without dash throughout

2010-01-10T12:01:28Z

The documentation was quite inconsistent when spelling 'git cmd' if it only refers to the program, not to some specific invocation syntax: both 'git-cmd' and 'git cmd' spellings exist. The current trend goes towards dashless forms, and there is precedent in 647ac70 (git-svn.txt: stop using dash-form of commands., 2009-07-07) to actively eliminate the dashed variants. Replace 'git-cmd' with 'git cmd' throughout, except where git-shell, git-cvsserver, git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack, and git-upload-archive are concerned, because those really live in the $PATH.

Bust the ghost of long-defunct diffcore-pathspec.

2008-09-20T02:48:30Z

This concept was retired by 77882f6 (Retire diffcore-pathspec., 2006-04-10), more than 2 years ago. Signed-off-by: Yann Dirson Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

manpages: italicize nongit command names (if they are in teletype font)

2008-07-05T18:24:40Z

Some manual pages use teletype font to set command names. We change them to use italics, instead. This creates a visual distinction between names of commands and command lines that can be typed at the command line. It is also more consistent with other man pages outside Git. In this patch, the commands named are non-git commands like bash. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

manpages: italicize git command names (which were in teletype font)

2008-07-05T18:24:40Z

The names of git commands are not meant to be entered at the commandline; they are just names. So we render them in italics, as is usual for command names in manpages. Using doit () { perl -e 'for (<>) { s/\`(git-[^\`.]*)\`/'\''\1'\''/g; print }' } for i in git*.txt config.txt diff*.txt blame*.txt fetch*.txt i18n.txt \ merge*.txt pretty*.txt pull*.txt rev*.txt urls*.txt do doit <"$i" >"$i+" && mv "$i+" "$i" done git diff .

manpages: italicize command names

2008-07-05T18:24:39Z

This includes nongit commands like RCS 'merge'. This patch only italicizes names of commands if they had no formatting before. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
