Documentation: spell 'git cmd' without dash throughout

2010-01-10T12:01:28Z

The documentation was quite inconsistent when spelling 'git cmd' if it only refers to the program, not to some specific invocation syntax: both 'git-cmd' and 'git cmd' spellings exist. The current trend goes towards dashless forms, and there is precedent in 647ac70 (git-svn.txt: stop using dash-form of commands., 2009-07-07) to actively eliminate the dashed variants. Replace 'git-cmd' with 'git cmd' throughout, except where git-shell, git-cvsserver, git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack, and git-upload-archive are concerned, because those really live in the $PATH.

Update the documentation of the raw diff output format

This includes mentioning the initial hash output of diff-tree, and changes the header to "raw output format" which is more descriptive. Signed-off-by: David Kågedal Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Teach git diff-tree --stdin to diff trees

2008-08-11T08:35:47Z

When feeding trees on the command line, you can give exactly two trees, not three nor one; --stdin now supports this "two tree" form on its input, in addition to accepting lines with one or more commits. When diffing trees (either specified on the command line or from the standard input), the -s, -v, --pretty, --abbrev-commit, --encoding, --no-commit-id, and --always options are ignored, since they do not apply to trees; and the -m, -c, and --cc options are ignored since they would be meaningful only with three or more trees, which is not supported (yet).

diff-tree: Note that the commit ID is printed with --stdin

2008-08-11T08:35:47Z

It's sort of already documented with the --no-commit-id command-line flag, but let's not hide important information from the user. Signed-off-by: Karl Hasselström Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

fix diff-tree --stdin documentation

2008-08-06T06:30:11Z

Long time ago, the feature of "diff-tree --stdin" to take a commit and its parents on one line was broken, and did not support the common: git rev-list --parents $commits... -- $paths... | git diff-tree --stdin -v -p usage pattern by Porcelains properly. For diff-tree to talk sensibly about commits, it needs to see commits, not just trees; the code was fixed to take list of commits on the standard input in 1.2.0. However we left the documentation stale for a long time, until Karl Hasselström finally noticed it very recently. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
