* documentation: move git(7) to git(1)Christian Couder2008-06-06140-146/+144
| | | | | | | | As the "git" man page describes the "git" command at the end-user level, it seems better to move it to man section 1. Signed-off-by: Christian Couder <chriscool@tuxfamily.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* documentation: convert "diffcore" and "repository-layout" to man pagesChristian Couder2008-06-068-20/+68
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch renames the following documents and at the same time converts them to the man format: diffcore.txt -> gitdiffcore.txt (man section 7) repository-layout.txt -> gitrepository-layout.txt (man section 5) Other documents that reference the above ones are changed accordingly.

* | Documentation/git-filter-branch.txt: Fix description of --commit-filterKevin Ballard2008-06-021-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The old description was misleading and logically impossible. It claimed that the ancestors of the original commit would be re-written to have the multiple emitted ids as parents. Not only would this modify existing objects, but it would create a cycle. What this actually does is pass the multiple emitted ids to the newly-created children to use as parents. Signed-off-by: Kevin Ballard <kevin@sb.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is unfortunate that "git init --bare" does not work and the only reason why "init" did not learn its own "--bare" option is because "git --bare init" already does the job (and as an option to the git 'potty', it is more generic solution). This teaches "git init" its own "--bare" option, so that both "git --bare init" and "git init --bare" works mostly the same way.

However, interacting with the CVS repository using "git cvsexportcommit" was cumbersome, since that script assumes separate working directories for Git and CVS. Now, you can call cvsexportcommit with the -W option. This will automatically discover the GIT_DIR, and it will check out the parent commit before exporting the commit. The intended workflow is this: $ CVSROOT=$URL cvs co module $ cd module $ git cvsimport hack, hack, hack, making two commits, cleaning them up using rebase -i. $ git cvsexportcommit -W -c -p -u HEAD^ $ git cvsexportcommit -W -c -p -u HEAD Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
