treewide: correct several "up-to-date" to "up to date"

2017-08-23T19:17:22Z

Follow the Oxford style, which says to use "up-to-date" before the noun, but "up to date" after it. Don't change plumbing (specifically send-pack.c, but transport.c (git push) also has the same string). This was produced by grepping for "up-to-date" and "up to date". It turned out we only had to edit in one direction, removing the hyphens. Fix a typo in Documentation/git-diff-index.txt while we're there.

Documentation: unify bottom "part of git suite" lines

2017-02-09T23:14:01Z

We currently have 168 man pages that mention they are part of Git, you can check yourself easily via: $ git grep "Part of the linkgit:git\[1\] suite" |wc -l 168 However some have a trailing period, i.e. $ git grep "Part of the linkgit:git\[1\] suite." |wc -l 8 Unify the bottom line in all man pages to not end with a period.

transport: drop support for git-over-rsync

2016-02-01T21:07:41Z

The git-over-rsync protocol is inefficient and broken, and has been for a long time. It transfers way more objects than it needs (grabbing all of the remote's "objects/", regardless of which objects we need). It does its own ad-hoc parsing of loose and packed refs from the remote, but doesn't properly override packed refs with loose ones, leading to garbage results (e.g., expecting the other side to have an object pointed to by a stale packed-refs entry, or complaining that the other side has two copies of the refs[1]). This latter breakage means that nobody could have successfully pulled from a moderately active repository since cd547b4 (fetch/push: readd rsync support, 2007-10-01). We never made an official deprecation notice in the release notes for git's rsync protocol, but the tutorial has marked it as such since 914328a (Update tutorial., 2005-08-30). And on the mailing list as far back as Oct 2005, we can find Junio mentioning it as having "been deprecated for quite some time."[2,3,4]. So it was old news then; cogito had deprecated the transport in July of 2005[5] (though it did come back briefly when Linus broke git-http-pull!). Of course some people professed their love of rsync through 2006, but Linus clarified in his usual gentle manner[6]: > Thanks! This is why I still use rsync, even though > everybody and their mother tells me "Linus says rsync is > deprecated." No. You're using rsync because you're actively doing something _wrong_. The deprecation sentiment was reinforced in 2008, with a mention that cloning via rsync is broken (with no fix)[7]. Even the commit porting rsync over to C from shell (cd547b4) lists it as deprecated! So between the 10 years of informal warnings, and the fact that it has been severely broken since 2007, it's probably safe to simply remove it without further deprecation warnings.

doc: add 'everyday' to 'git help'

2014-10-10T23:02:26Z

The "Everyday GIT With 20 Commands Or So" is not accessible via the Git help system. Move everyday.txt to giteveryday.txt so that "git help everyday" works, and create a new placeholder file everyday.html to refer people who follow existing URLs to the updated location. giteveryday.txt now formats well with AsciiDoc as a man page and refreshed content to a more command modern style. Add 'everyday' to the help --guides list and update git(1) and 5 other links to giteveryday. Signed-off-by: Philip Oakley Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Documentation: avoid poor-man's small caps GIT

2013-02-01T21:53:25Z

In the earlier days, we used to spell the name of the system as GIT, to simulate as if it were typeset with capital G and IT in small caps. Later we stopped doing so at around 1.6.5 days. Let's stop doing so throughout the documentation. The name to refer to the whole system (and the concept it embodies) is "Git"; the command end-users type is "git". And document this in the coding guideline. Signed-off-by: Thomas Ackermann Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Documentation: describe subject more precisely

2012-09-14T04:30:21Z

The discussion of email subject throughout the documentation is misleading; it indicates that the first line will always become the subject. In fact, the subject is generally all lines up until the first full blank line. This patch refines that, and makes more use of the concept of a commit title, with the title being all text up to the first blank line. Signed-off-by: Jeremy White Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
