Implement git clone -v

2008-10-09T18:26:17Z

The new -v option forces the progressbar, even in case the output is not a terminal. This can be useful if the caller is an IDE or wrapper which wants to scrape the progressbar from stderr and show its information in a different format. Signed-off-by: Miklos Vajna Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce

clone: Add an option to set up a mirror

2008-08-02T22:21:59Z

The command line $ git clone --mirror $URL is now a short-hand for $ git clone --bare $URL $ (cd $(basename $URL) && git remote add --mirror origin $URL) Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Remove references to git-fetch-pack from "git clone" documentation.

2008-07-26T00:10:32Z

"git clone" no longer calls "git-fetch-pack", so the documentation is a bit stale. Instead, state that the -u option is to be used when accessing a repository over ssh. Signed-off-by: Steve Haslam 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 .

Documentation formatting and cleanup

2008-07-02T00:20:16Z

Following what appears to be the predominant style, format names of commands and commandlines both as `teletype text`. While we're at it, add articles ("a" and "the") in some places, italicize the name of the command in the manual page synopsis line, and add a comma or two where it seems appropriate.

Documentation: be consistent about "git-" versus "git "

2008-07-02T00:20:15Z

Since the git-* commands are not installed in $(bindir), using "git-command " in examples in the documentation is not a good idea. On the other hand, it is nice to be able to refer to each command using one hyphenated word. (There is no escaping it, anyway: man page names cannot have spaces in them.) This patch retains the dash in naming an operation, command, program, process, or action. Complete command lines that can be entered at a shell (i.e., without options omitted) are made to use the dashless form. The changes consist only of replacing some spaces with hyphens and vice versa. After a "s/ /-/g", the unpatched and patched versions are identical. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

documentation: move git(7) to git(1)

2008-06-06T18:18:28Z

As the "git" man page describes the "git" command at the end-user level, it seems better to move it to man section 1. Signed-off-by: Christian Couder Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
