The name of the hash function is "SHA-1", not "SHA1"

2013-04-15T18:08:37Z

Use "SHA-1" instead of "SHA1" whenever we talk about the hash function. When used as a programming symbol, we keep "SHA1". Signed-off-by: Thomas Ackermann Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Use correct grammar in diffstat summary line

2012-02-04T07:19:42Z

"git diff --stat" and "git apply --stat" now learn to print the line "%d files changed, %d insertions(+), %d deletions(-)" in singular form whenever applicable. "0 insertions" and "0 deletions" are also omitted unless they are both zero. This matches how versions of "diffstat" that are not prehistoric produced their output, and also makes this line translatable.

Documentation: use [verse] for SYNOPSIS sections

2011-07-06T21:26:26Z

The SYNOPSIS sections of most commands that span several lines already use [verse] to retain line breaks. Most commands that don't span several lines seem not to use [verse]. In the HTML output, [verse] does not only preserve line breaks, but also makes the section indented, which causes a slight inconsistency between commands that use [verse] and those that don't. Use [verse] in all SYNOPSIS sections for consistency. Also remove the blank lines from git-fetch.txt and git-rebase.txt to align with the other man pages. In the case of git-rebase.txt, which already uses [verse], the blank line makes the [verse] not apply to the last line, so removing the blank line also makes the formatting within the document more consistent. While at it, add single quotes to 'git cvsimport' for consistency with other commands. Signed-off-by: Martin von Zweigbergk Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Better "Changed but not updated" message in git-status

2010-11-03T16:18:58Z

Older Gits talked about "updating" a file to add its content to the index, but this terminology is confusing for new users. "to stage" is far more intuitive and already used in e.g. the "git stage" command name. Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

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.

tutorial-2: Update with the new "git commit" ouput

2009-01-21T08:15:34Z

An earlier commit c5ee71f (commit: more compact summary and without extra quotes, 2009-01-19) changed the "git commit" output when creating a commit. This patch updates the example session in the tutorial to match the new output. Signed-off-by: Santi Béjar Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Documentation: tutorial: add information about "git help" at the beginning

2008-11-17T16:21:34Z

Talking about "git help" is useful because it has a few more features (like when using it without arguments or with "-a") and it may work on non unix like platforms. Also add a few links to git-help(1) in "See also" sections. Signed-off-by: Christian Couder Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

tutorial: update output of git commit

2008-10-06T07:04:24Z

Commit c85db254 changed the format of the message produced by "git commit" when creating a commit. This patch updates the example session in the tutorial to the new format. It also adds in the missing diffstat summary lines, which should have been added long ago. Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce

git commit: Reformat output somewhat

2008-09-30T22:16:28Z

Previously, we used to print something along the lines of Created commit abc9056 on master: Snib the sprock but that output was sometimes confusing, as many projects use the "subsystem: message" style of commit subjects (just like this commit message does). When such improvements are done on topic-branches, it's not uncommon to name the topic-branch the same as the subsystem, leading to output like this: Created commit abc9056 on i386: i386: Snib the sprock which doesn't look very nice and can be highly confusing. This patch alters the format so that the noise-word "commit" is dropped except when it makes the output read better and the commit subject is put inside parentheses. We also emphasize the detached case so that users do not overlook it in case the commit subject is long enough to extend to the next line. The end result looks thusly: normal case Created abc9056 (i386: Snib the sprock) on i386 detached head Created DETACHED commit abc9056 (i386: Snib the sprock) While we're at it, we rename "initial commit" to "root-commit" to align it with the argument to 'git log', producing this: initial commit Created root-commit abc9056 (i386: Snib the sprock) on i386 Documentation/gittutorial-2.txt is updated accordingly so that new users recognize what they're looking at.
