init: document dotfiles exclusion on template copy

2017-02-17T23:57:21Z

Not just . and .., but any path that begins with dot is not copied when copying the template directory to a new repository. You can customize the template directory, copying some dotfiles might make sense, but it's actually a good thing not to, because you would not want to have your git directory copied in every git directory that is created should you decide to put your template directory under version control, for example. Plus, it might be used as a feature by people who would want to exclude some files. Signed-off-by: Grégoire Paris Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Merge branch 'tr/doc-tt'

2016-06-27T16:56:42Z

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: more consistency in environment variables format

2016-06-08T19:04:37Z

Wrap with backticks (monospaced font) unwrapped or single-quotes wrapped (italic type) environment variables which are followed by the word "environment". It was obtained with: perl -pi -e "s/\'?(\\\$?[0-9A-Z\_]+)\'?(?= environment ?)/\`\1\`/g" *.txt One of the main purposes is to stick to the CodingGuidelines as possible so that people writting new documentation by mimicking the existing are more likely to have it right (even if they didn't read the CodingGuidelines).

githooks.txt: improve the intro section

2016-05-04T23:22:23Z

Change the documentation so that: * We don't talk about "little scripts". Hooks can be as big as you want, and don't have to be scripts, just call them "programs". * We note that we change the working directory before a hook is called, nothing documented this explicitly, but the current behavior is predictable. It helps a lot to know what directory these hooks will be executed from. * We don't make claims about the example hooks which may not be true depending on the configuration of 'init.templateDir'. Clarify that we're talking about the default settings of git-init in those cases, and move some of this documentation into git-init's documentation about the default templates. * We briefly note in the intro that hooks can get their arguments in various different ways, and that how exactly is described below for each hook.

*config.txt: stick to camelCase naming convention

This should improve readability. Compare "thislongname" and "thisLongName". The following keys are left in unchanged. We can decide what to do with them later. - am.keepcr - core.autocrlf .safecrlf .trustctime - diff.dirstat .noprefix - gitcvs.usecrlfattr - gui.blamehistoryctx .trustmtime - pull.twohead - receive.autogc - sendemail.signedoffbycc .smtpsslcertpath .suppresscc Helped-by: Eric Sunshine Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy Signed-off-by: Eric Sunshine Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Use shorter sentences to describe what actually happens. We describe what the term "Git symbolic link" actually means. Also, we separate out the description of the behavioral change upon reinitialization into its own paragraph. Signed-off-by: Linus Arver Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
