* correct a few doubled-word nits in comments and documentationJim Meyering2012-03-281-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Found by running this command: $ git ls-files -z|xargs -0 perl -0777 -n \ -e 'while (/\b(then?|[iao]n|i[fst]|but|f?or|at|and|[dt]o)\s+\1\b/gims)' \ -e ' {' \ -e ' $n = ($` =~ tr/\n/\n/ + 1);' \ -e ' ($v = $&) =~ s/\n/\\n/g;' \ -e ' print "$ARGV:$n:$v\n";' \ -e ' }' Why not just git grep -E ...? That wouldn't work then the doubled words are separated by a newline.

| * | Documentation: improve description of GIT_EDITOR and preference orderRodrigo Silva (MestreLion)2012-03-261-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously GIT_EDITOR was not listed in git(1) "Environment Variables" section, which could be very confusing to users. Include it in "other" subsection along with a link to git-var(1), since that is the page that fully describes all places where editor can be set and also their preference order. Also, git-var(1) did not say that hardcoded fallback 'vi' may have been changed at build time. A user could be puzzled if 'nano' pops up even when none of the mentioned environment vars or config.editor are set. Clarify this. Ideally, the build system should be changed to reflect the chosen fallback editor when creating the man pages. Not sure if that is even possible though.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

For the graph-width limiting to be usable, it should happen 'automatically' once configured, hence the config option. Nevertheless, graph width limiting only makes sense when used on a wide terminal, so it should not influence the output of format-patch, which adheres to the 80-column standard.

Up to <width> columns will be used for the graph. If commits changing a lot of lines are displayed in a wide terminal window (200 or more columns), and the +- graph uses the full width, the output can be hard to comfortably scan with a horizontal movement of human eyes. Messages wrapped to about 80 columns would be interspersed with very long +- lines. It makes sense to limit the width of the graph part to a fixed value (e.g. 70 columns), even if more columns are available.

If there isn't enough columns to print both the filename and the graph, at least 5/8 of available space is devoted to filenames. On a standard 80 column terminal, or if not connected to a terminal and using the default of 80 columns, this gives the same partition as before. The effect of this change is visible in the patch to the test vector in t4052; with a small change with long filename, it stops truncating the name part too short, and also allocates a bit more columns to the graph for larger changes.
