help.format configuration expects a string value Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

rename git-browse--help to git-help--browse

2007-12-16T20:52:40Z

The convention for helper scripts has been git-$TOOL--$HELPER. Since this is a "browse" helper for the "help" tool, git-help--browse is a more sensible name. Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

git-help: add "help.format" config variable.

2007-12-15T05:58:35Z

This config variable makes it possible to choose the default format used to display help. This format will be used only if no option like -a|--all|-i|--info|-m|--man|-w|--web is passed to "git-help". The following values are possible for this variable: - "man" --> "man" program is used - "info" --> "info" program is used - "web" --> "git-browse-help" is used By default we still show help using "man". This patch also adds -m|--man command line option to use "man" to allow overriding the "help.format" configuration variable. Note that this patch also revert some recent changes in "git-browse-help" because they prevented to look for config variables in the global configuration file.

git-help: add -w|--web option to display html man page in a browser.

2007-12-09T09:19:44Z

Now when using "git help -w cmd", we will try to show the HTML man page "git-cmd.html" in your prefered web browser. To do that "help.c" code will call a new shell script "git-browse-help". This currently works only if the HTML versions of the man page have been installed in $(htmldir) (typically "/usr/share/doc/git-doc"), so new target to do that is added to "Documentation/Makefile". The browser to use can be configured using the "web.browser" config variable. We try to open a new tab in an existing web browser, if possible. The code in "git-browse-help" is heavily stolen from "git-mergetool" by Theodore Y. Ts'o. Thanks. Signed-off-by: Christian Couder Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Let git-help prefer man-pages installed with this version of git

2007-12-08T10:50:54Z

Prepend $(prefix)/share/man to the MANPATH environment variable before invoking 'man' from help.c:show_man_page(). There may be other git documentation in the user's MANPATH but the user is asking a specific instance of git about its own documentation, so we'd better show the documentation for _that_ instance of git.
