* documentation: fix alphabetic ordered list for git-rebase man pageNelson Benitez Leon2012-03-261-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | An alphabetic ordered list (a.) is converted to numerical in the man page (1.) so context comments naming 'a' were confusing, fix that by not using ordered list notation for 'a' anb 'b' items.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The --ff-only option was not described next to --ff and --no-ff options in "git merge" documentation, even though these three are logically together, describing how to choose one of three possibilities. Also the description for '--ff' and '--no-ff' discussed what '--ff' means, and mentioned '--no-ff' as if it were a side-note to '--ff'. Make them into three top-level entries and list them together. This way, it would be more clear that the user can choose one from these three. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

However, while http.proxy (by the means of curl's CURLOPT_PROXY option) overrides the proxy for both HTTP and HTTPS protocols, the http_proxy environment variable is used only for HTTP. But since the docs mention only http_proxy, a user might expect it to apply to all HTTP-like protocols. Avoid any such misunderstanding by explicitly mentioning https_proxy and all_proxy as well. Also replace linkgit:curl[1] with a literal 'curl(1)', because the former gets translated to a dead link in the HTML pages.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The canonical order of command line arguments is always to have dashed commands before other parameters, but the "git remote set-branches" subcommand was described to take "name" before an optional "--add".

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | During the code review of a recent patch, it was noted that shell scripts must not use 'which $cmd' to check the availability of the command $cmd. The output of the command is not machine parseable and its exit code is not reliable across platforms. It is better to use 'type' to accomplish this task.

E.g. ... in the git repository at: git://example.com/git/git.git/ tags/v1.2.3 for you to fetch changes up to 123456... This way, older versions of "git pull" can be used to respond to such a request more easily, as "git pull $URL v1.2.3" did not DWIM to fetch v1.2.3 tag in older versions. Also this makes it clearer for humans that the pull request is made for a tag and he should anticipate a signed one. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
