2010-12-03Documentation: do not misinterpret pull refspec as bold textJonathan Nieder
Use the {asterisk} entity to avoid mistreating the asterisks in "(e.g., refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*)" as delimiters for bold text. From a quick search with 'git grep -e "\*.*\*"', this seems to be the last example of this particular formatting problem.

2010-12-02Documentation: Fix mark-up of lines with more than one tildeJunio C Hamano
The manual pages of cherry-pick and revert had examples with two revisions on the same line in the examples section, that looked like this: git cherry-pick master~4 master~2:: Unfortunately, this is taken as a mark-up to make the part between two tildes, "4 master", subscript. Use {tilde} to make it explicit that we do want ~ characters in these places (backslash does not help).

2010-12-01add: introduce add.ignoreerrors synonym for add.ignore-errorsJonathan Nieder
The "[add] ignore-errors" tweakable introduced by v1.5.6-rc0~30^2 (Add a config option to ignore errors for git-add, 2008-05-12) does not follow the usual convention for naming values in the git configuration file. What convention? Glad you asked. The section name indicates the affected subsystem. The subsection name, if any, indicates which of an unbound set of things to set the value for. The variable name describes the effect of tweaking this knob. The section and variable names can be broken into words using bumpyCaps in documentation as a hint to the reader. These word breaks are not significant at the level of code, since the section and variable names are not case sensitive. The name "add.ignore-errors" includes a dash, meaning a naive configuration file like [add] ignoreErrors does not have any effect. Avoid such confusion by renaming to the more consistent add.ignoreErrors, but keep the old version for backwards compatibility.

2010-11-09docs: give more hints about how "add -e" worksJeff King
The previous text was not exactly accurate; it is OK to change space and minus lines, but only in certain ways. This patch takes a whole new approach, which is to describe the sorts of conceptual operations you might want to perform. It also includes a healthy dose of warnings about how things can go wrong. Since the size of the text is getting quite long, it also splits this out into an "editing patches" section. This makes more sense with the current structure, anyway, which already splits out the interactive mode description.

2010-11-09Documentation: document show -sJonathan Nieder
Git's diff machinery has supported a -s (silence diff output) option as far back as v0.99~900 (Silent flag for show-diff, 2005-04-13), but the option is only advertised in an odd corner of the git diff-tree manual. The main use is to retrieve basic metadata about a commit: git show -s rev Explain this in the 'git log' manual and provide an example in the 'git show' examples section. This is kind of a cop-out, since it would be more useful to explain it in the 'git show' manual proper, which says: The command takes options applicable to the git diff-tree command to control how the changes the commit introduces are shown. This manual page describes only the most frequently used options. Fixing that is a larger task for another day.

2010-10-21docs: give more hints about how "add -e" worksJeff King
The previous text was not exactly accurate; it is OK to change space and minus lines, but only in certain ways. This patch attempts to cover explicitly what can be done at the individual line level, and cautions the user that conceptually larger changes (like modifying a line) require some understanding of the patch format.
