git-commit.txt: list post-rewrite in HOOKS section

2017-03-20T17:53:29Z

The hook was added in a86ed83cce (Merge branch 'tr/notes-display' - 2010-03-24), which updated githooks.txt but not git-commit.txt. git-commit.txt was later updated in e858af6d50 (commit: document a couple of options - 2012-06-08). Since this commit focused on command line options, this section was probably forgotten. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Merge branch 'ak/commit-only-allow-empty'

2016-12-19T22:45:34Z

"git commit --allow-empty --only" (no pathspec) with dirty index ought to be an acceptable way to create a new commit that does not change any paths, but it was forbidden, perhaps because nobody needed it so far. * ak/commit-only-allow-empty: commit: remove 'Clever' message for --only --amend commit: make --only --allow-empty work without paths

commit: make --only --allow-empty work without paths

2016-12-05T20:41:06Z

--only is implied when paths are present, and required them unless --amend. But with --allow-empty it should be allowed as well - it is the only way to create an empty commit in the presence of staged changes. Signed-off-by: Andreas Krey Reviewed-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Merge branch 'nd/commit-p-doc'

2016-10-17T20:25:19Z

Documentation for "git commit" was updated to clarify that "commit -p " adds to the current contents of the index to come up with what to commit. * nd/commit-p-doc: git-commit.txt: clarify --patch mode with pathspec

git-commit.txt: clarify --patch mode with pathspec

2016-10-05T17:17:40Z

How pathspec is used, with and without --interactive/--patch, is different. But this is not clear from the document. These changes hint the user to keep reading (to option #5) instead of stopping at #2 and assuming --patch/--interactive behaves the same way. And since all the options listed here always mention how the index is involved (or not) in the final commit, add that bit for #5 as well. This "on top of the index" is implied when you head over git-add(1), but if you just go straight to the "Interactive mode" and not read what git-add is for, you may miss it.

Merge branch 'mm/doc-tt' into maint

Merge branch 'tr/doc-tt' into maint

2016-07-06T20:06:34Z

The documentation set has been updated so that literal commands, configuration variables and environment variables are consistently typeset in fixed-width font and bold in manpages. * tr/doc-tt: doc: change configuration variables format doc: more consistency in environment variables format doc: change environment variables format doc: clearer rule about formatting literals

doc: typeset long command-line options as literal

Similarly to the previous commit, use backquotes instead of forward-quotes, for long options. This was obtained with: perl -pi -e "s/'(--[a-z][a-z=<>-]*)'/\`\$1\`/g" *.txt and manual tweak to remove false positive in ascii-art (o'--o'--o' to describe rewritten history).

doc: typeset short command-line options as literal

2016-06-28T15:20:52Z

It was common in our documentation to surround short option names with forward quotes, which renders as italic in HTML. Instead, use backquotes which renders as monospace. This is one more step toward conformance to Documentation/CodingGuidelines. This was obtained with: perl -pi -e "s/'(-[a-z])'/\`\$1\`/g" *.txt Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
