* Documentation/git.txt: command re-classificationJunio C Hamano2007-01-191-1/+34
| | | | | | | | | | | | This adds two new classes (pure-helpers and "Interacting with Others") to the command list in the main manual page. The latter class is primarily about foreign SCM interface and is placed before low-level (plumbing) commands. Also it promotes a handful commands to mainporcelain category while demoting some others.

* sanitize content of README fileNicolas Pitre2007-01-171-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | Current README content is way too esoteric for someone looking at GIT for the first time. Instead it should provide a quick summary of what GIT is with a few pointers to other resources. The bulk of the previous README content is moved to Documentation/core-intro.txt.

* use 'init' instead of 'init-db' for shipped docs and toolsNicolas Pitre2007-01-121-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | While 'init-db' still is and probably will always remain a valid git command for obvious backward compatibility reasons, it would be a good idea to move shipped tools and docs to using 'init' instead. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* "init-db" can really be just "init"Nicolas Pitre2007-01-071-0/+1
| | | | | | | | Make "init" the equivalent of "init-db". This should make first GIT impression a little more friendly. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Create 'git gc' to perform common maintenance operations.Shawn O. Pearce2006-12-271-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Junio asked for a 'git gc' utility which users can execute on a regular basis to perform basic repository actions such as: * pack-refs --prune * reflog expire * repack -a -d * prune * rerere gc So here is a command which does exactly that. The parameters fed to reflog's expire subcommand can be chosen by the user by setting configuration options in .git/config (or ~/.gitconfig), as users may want different expiration windows for each repository but shouldn't be bothered to remember what they are all of the time.

* git-pickaxe: retire pickaxeJunio C Hamano2006-11-081-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | Just make it take over blame's place. Documentation and command have all stopped mentioning "git-pickaxe". The built-in synonym is left in the command table, so you can still say "git pickaxe", but it probably is a good idea to retire it as well. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently it does what git-blame does, but only faster. More importantly, its internal structure is designed to support content movement (aka cut-and-paste) more easily by allowing more than one paths to be taken from the same commit.

* Remove upload-tar and make git-tar-tree a thin wrapper to git-archiveJunio C Hamano2006-09-241-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | The command now issues a big deprecation warning message and runs git-archive command with appropriate arguments. git-tar-tree $tree_ish $base always forces $base to be the leading directory name, so the --prefix parameter passed internally to git-archive is a slash appended to it, i.e. "--prefix=$base/".

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I'm afraid I'll be accused of trying to suck all the jokes and the personality out of the git documentation. I'm not! Really! That said, "man git" is one of the first things a new user is likely try, and it seems a little cruel to start off with a somewhat obscure joke about the architecture of git. So instead I'm trying for a relatively straightforward description of what git does, and what features distinguish it from other systems, together with immediate links to introductory documentation. I also did some minor reorganization in an attempt to clarify the classification of commands. And revised a bit for conciseness (as is obvious from the diffstat--hopefully I didn't cut anything important). Signed-off-by: J.
