doc: typeset long command-line options as literal

2016-06-28T15:36:45Z

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

docs: fix some antique example output

2011-05-27T05:15:39Z

These diff-index and diff-tree sample outputs date back to the first month of git's existence. The output format has changed slightly since then, so let's have it match the current output. Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

doc: drop author/documentation sections from most pages

2011-03-11T15:59:16Z

The point of these sections is generally to: 1. Give credit where it is due. 2. Give the reader an idea of where to ask questions or file bug reports. But they don't do a good job of either case. For (1), they are out of date and incomplete. A much more accurate answer can be gotten through shortlog or blame. For (2), the correct contact point is generally git@vger, and even if you wanted to cc the contact point, the out-of-date and incomplete fields mean you're likely sending to somebody useless. So let's drop the fields entirely from all manpages except git(1) itself. We already point people to the mailing list for bug reports there, and we can update the Authors section to give credit to the major contributors and point to shortlog and blame for more information. Each page has a "This is part of git" footer, so people can follow that to the main git manpage.

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

2009-07-28T20:32:59Z

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).
