Documentation: update implicit "--no-index" behavior in "git diff"

2010-10-14T02:10:56Z

Originally "--no-index" mode triggered for untracked files within the tracked tree, but with v1.5.6-rc1~41 (Merge branch 'jc/diff-no-no-index, 2008-05-26) the command was fixed to only implicitly trigger when paths outside the tracked tree are mentioned.

Documentation: expand 'git diff' SEE ALSO section

2010-10-14T02:10:56Z

Point in many directions in the hope of helping the reader find what is needed more quickly. This commit also removes the summary attached to the SEE ALSO entry for difftool, to avoid making the SEE ALSO list too verbose. If the reader wants a summary of the commands referred to, she can always look to the top of the named pages or to the table of contents on the main git(1) page.

Documentation: diff can compare blobs

2010-10-14T02:10:56Z

Meanwhile, there is no plumbing command to compare two blobs. Strange. Reported-by: Yann Dirson Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Documentation: gitrevisions is in section 7

2010-10-14T02:10:55Z

Fix references to gitrevisions(1) in the manual pages and HTML documentation. In practice, this will not matter much unless someone tries to use a hard copy of the git reference manual. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Documentation: link to gitrevisions rather than git-rev-parse

2010-07-05T20:39:13Z

Currently, whenever we need documentation for revisions and ranges, we link to the git-rev-parse man page, i.e. a plumbing man page, which has this along with the documentation of all rev-parse modes. Link to the new gitrevisions man page instead in all cases except - when the actual git-rev-parse command is referred to or - in very technical context (git-send-pack).

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

git-diff: Add --staged as a synonym for --cached.

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
