*config.txt: stick to camelCase naming convention

2015-03-14T05:13:46Z

This should improve readability. Compare "thislongname" and "thisLongName". The following keys are left in unchanged. We can decide what to do with them later. - am.keepcr - core.autocrlf .safecrlf .trustctime - diff.dirstat .noprefix - gitcvs.usecrlfattr - gui.blamehistoryctx .trustmtime - pull.twohead - receive.autogc - sendemail.signedoffbycc .smtpsslcertpath .suppresscc Helped-by: Eric Sunshine Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy Signed-off-by: Eric Sunshine Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

diff: add diff.orderfile configuration variable

2013-12-19T00:39:00Z

diff.orderfile acts as a default for the -O command line option. [sb: split up aw's original patch; rework tests and docs, treat option as pathname] Signed-off-by: Anders Waldenborg Signed-off-by: Samuel Bronson Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Improve documentation concerning the status.submodulesummary setting

2013-09-11T19:20:41Z

'git status' and 'git commit' can be told to also show the output of "git submodule summary" by setting the "status.submodulesummary" config option. But status and commit also honor the "diff.ignoreSubmodules" and the "submodule..ignore" settings, which then disable the summary partly or completely. This - and the fact that the last two settings do not affect the "git submodule" commands at all - is not well documented. Extend the documentation in those places where "status.submodulesummary", "diff.ignoreSubmodules" and "submodule..ignore" are described to better explain these dependencies.

Merge branch 'mp/diff-algo-config'

2013-02-17T23:25:52Z

Add diff.algorithm configuration so that the user does not type "diff --histogram". * mp/diff-algo-config: diff: Introduce --diff-algorithm command line option config: Introduce diff.algorithm variable git-completion.bash: Autocomplete --minimal and --histogram for git-diff

Merge branch 'da/mergetool-docs'

2013-02-07T22:42:16Z

Build on top of the clean-up done by jk/mergetool and automatically generate the list of mergetool and difftool backends the build supports to be included in the documentation. * da/mergetool-docs: doc: generate a list of valid merge tools mergetool--lib: list user configured tools in '--tool-help' mergetool--lib: add functions for finding available tools mergetool--lib: improve the help text in guess_merge_tool() mergetool--lib: simplify command expressions

doc: generate a list of valid merge tools

2013-02-03T05:46:52Z

Use the show_tool_names() function to build lists of all the built-in tools supported by difftool and mergetool. This frees us from needing to update the documentation whenever a new tool is added. Signed-off-by: David Aguilar Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

config: Introduce diff.algorithm variable

2013-01-16T17:37:45Z

Some users or projects prefer different algorithms over others, e.g. patience over myers or similar. However, specifying appropriate argument every time diff is to be used is impractical. Moreover, creating an alias doesn't play nicely with other tools based on diff (git-show for instance). Hence, a configuration variable which is able to set specific algorithm is needed. For now, these four values are accepted: 'myers' (which has the same effect as not setting the config variable at all), 'minimal', 'patience' and 'histogram'.

Documentation/diff-config: work around AsciiDoc misfortune

2012-12-07T23:15:59Z

The line that happens to begin with indent followed by "3. " was interpreted as if it was an enumerated list; just wrap the lines differently to work it around for now. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
