Update README to point at a few key periodical messages to the list

2007-03-26T00:42:32Z

They give a good starting point to new people who want to get involved. This owes suggestions by Martin Langhoff and Steven Grimm. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

sanitize content of README file

2007-01-17T20:03:50Z

Current README content is way too esoteric for someone looking at GIT for the first time. Instead it should provide a quick summary of what GIT is with a few pointers to other resources. The bulk of the previous README content is moved to Documentation/core-intro.txt. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Documentation: git.html/git.7

2005-12-08T00:05:21Z

Finish each sentence with a full stop. Instead of saying 'directory index' 'directory cache' etc, consistently say 'index'. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Documentation: do not blindly run 'cat' .git/HEAD, or echo into it.

2005-11-15T09:31:04Z

Many places in the documentation we still talked about reading what commit is recorded in .git/HEAD or writing the new head information into it, both assuming .git/HEAD is a symlink. That is not necessarily so. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Illustration: "Fundamental Git Index Operations"

[PATCH] Documentation: Update all files to use the new gitlink: macro

2005-09-20T22:07:52Z

The replacement was performed automatically by these commands: perl -pi -e 's/link:(git.+)\.html\[\1\]/gitlink:$1\[1\]/g' \ README Documentation/*.txt perl -pi -e 's/link:git\.html\[git\]/gitlink:git\[7\]/g' \ README Documentation/*.txt Signed-off-by: Sergey Vlasov Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Big tool rename.

2005-09-08T00:45:20Z

As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch. The primary differences since 0.99.6 are: (1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if something is implemented as a shell script or not. (2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with 'index' if that is what they mean. There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward compatibility support is expected to be removed in the near future.

Documentaion updates.

Mostly making the formatted html prettier. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano (cherry picked from 7adf1f15ebe074d4767df941817a6cf86d8e2533 commit)

[PATCH] use it's and its correctly in documentation

2005-08-17T19:13:12Z

At one place in Documentation/tutorial.txt and several in the base README, its was wrongly used in place of it's or vice versa. One instance remains somewhere in Documentation/howto/, which I didn't correct because it's in a quotation. Signed-off-by: Greg Louis Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

[PATCH] Expose object ID computation functions.

2005-07-09T00:07:37Z

This patch makes the first half of write_sha1_file() and index_fd() externally visible, to allow callers to compute the object ID without actually storing it in the object database. [JC demangled the whitespaces himself because he liked the patch so much, and reworked the interface to index_fd() slightly, taking suggestion from Linus and of his own.] Signed-off-by: Bryan Larsen Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
