* git-show-ref.txt: clarify the pattern matchingMichael J Gruber2010-10-191-1/+5
| | | | | | | | git-show-ref really does not do what one would expect under the name pattern matching, so describe it. Signed-off-by: Michael J Gruber <git@drmicha.warpmail.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* documentation: git-config minor cleanupsCliff Frey2010-10-191-7/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change push.default's description to add hyphens between values and descriptions to make the manpage easier to read. The html version is readable either way. Change status.showUntrackedFiles to make item descriptions be sentences and to use the same asciidoc format as push.default. The only visual change is the additions of "."

Maybe they do this because they read it in the Git user-manual. Fix the manual to give them better guidance.

* Documentation: update implicit "--no-index" behavior in "git diff"Jonathan Nieder2010-10-131-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | Originally "--no-index" mode triggered for untracked files within the tracked tree, but with v1.5.6-rc1~41 (Merge branch 'jc/diff-no-no-index, 2008-05-26) the command was fixed to only implicitly trigger when paths outside the tracked tree are mentioned.

* Documentation: expand 'git diff' SEE ALSO sectionJonathan Nieder2010-10-131-2/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Point in many directions in the hope of helping the reader find what is needed more quickly. This commit also removes the summary attached to the SEE ALSO entry for difftool, to avoid making the SEE ALSO list too verbose. If the reader wants a summary of the commands referred to, she can always look to the top of the named pages or to the table of contents on the main git(1) page.
