help.c: add a compatibility comment to cmd_version()

2013-04-16T22:01:30Z

External projects have been known to parse the output of "git version". Help prevent future authors from changing its format by adding a comment to its implementation. Signed-off-by: David Aguilar Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

help: include only in one file

2013-01-19T06:35:04Z

This header not only declares but also defines the contents of the array that holds the list of command names and help text. Do not include it in multiple places to waste text space. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

help.c::uniq: plug a leak

2012-07-25T17:23:54Z

We observe that the j-1 element can serve the same purpose as the i-1 element that we use in the strcmp(); it is either: 1. Exactly i-1, when the loop begins (and until we see a duplicate). 2. The same pointer that was stored at i-1 (if it was not a duplicate, and we just copied it into place). 3. A pointer to an equivalent string (i.e., we rejected i-1 _because_ it was identical to j-1).

move git_version_string into version.c

2012-06-03T20:11:34Z

The global git_version_string currently lives in git.c, but doesn't have anything to do with the git wrapper. Let's move it into its own file, where it will be more appropriate to build more version-related functions. Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Reduce cost of deletion in levenstein distance (4 -> 3)

2012-05-29T18:12:59Z

Before this patch, a character deletion has the same cost as 2 swaps, or 4 additions, so Git prefers suggesting a completely scrambled command name to removing a character. For example, "git tags" suggests "stage", but not "tag". By setting the deletion cost to 3, we keep it higher than swaps or additions, but prefer 1 deletion to 2 swaps. "git tags" now suggests "tag" in addition to staged. Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Merge branch 'nd/columns'

2012-05-03T22:13:31Z

A couple of commands learn --column option to produce columnar output. By Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy (9) and Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek (1) * nd/columns: tag: add --column column: support piping stdout to external git-column process status: add --column branch: add --column help: reuse print_columns() for help -a column: add dense layout support t9002: work around shells that are unable to set COLUMNS to 1 column: add columnar layout Stop starting pager recursively Add column layout skeleton and git-column

help: reuse print_columns() for help -a

2012-04-27T16:26:38Z

"help -a" also respects column.ui (and column.help if presents) Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

help: replace underlining "help -a" headers using hyphens with a blank line

2012-04-25T17:30:11Z

We used to underline a header text, like this: This is a header ---------------- content... But calculating text length so that the dashes align with the text could get complicated because the text could be in any charset in translated Git. There is no point to use this pseudo underline; simply a blank line would do and it even makes it easier to read: This is a header content... While at it, give translators more context to translate, e.g. e.g. "git commands available..." instead of "%s available..." Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

i18n: help: mark strings for translation

2012-04-24T21:55:48Z

This patch also marks most common commands' synopsis for translation so that "git help" gives a friendly listing. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
