Big tool rename. As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch. The primary differences since 0.99.6 are: (1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if something is implemented as a shell script or not. (2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with 'index' if that is what they mean. There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward compatibility support is expected to be removed in the near future.

DESCRIPTION
-----------
git-status: documentation improvements This patch is the result of reading over git-status with an editorial eye: - fix a few typo/grammatical errors - mention untracked output - present output types in the order they appear from the command Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Displays paths that have differences between the index file and the
current HEAD commit, paths that have differences between the working
tree and the index file, and paths in the working tree that are not
tracked by git (and are not ignored by gitlink:gitignore[5]). The first
are what you _would_ commit by running `git commit`; the second and
third are what you _could_ commit by running `git add` before running
`git commit`.

The command takes the same set of options as `git-commit`; it
shows what would be committed if the same options are given to
`git-commit`.

If there is no path that is different between the index file and
the current HEAD commit (i.e., there is nothing to commit by running
`git-commit`), the command exits with non-zero status.

git-status documentation: mention subdirectory behaviour Consistently with all other diff oriented commands, we have given paths relative to the work tree root in git-status output for a long time. This documents the recent behaviour change, as people's eyes (and worse yet, scripts, although scripts should not parse "git status" output) may depend on the old behaviour. In the longer run, giving a --full-name option to git-diff Porcelain similar to what ls-files has, and change the default for git-diff Porcelain to show relative paths may be a good thing to do, in order to hide the oddballness of this git-status behaviour, but that would have a rather large impact to established expectation by existing users.

Documentation/git-status.txt: mention color configuration Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2007-01-17 10:11:01 +01:00
CONFIGURATION
-------------
The command honors `color.status` (or `status.color` -- they
mean the same thing and the latter is kept for backward
compatibility) and `color.status.<slot>` configuration variables
to colorize its output.
add status.relativePaths config variable The output of git-status was recently changed to output relative paths. Setting this variable to false restores the old behavior for any old-timers that prefer it. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-12-07 22:26:07 +01:00
If the config variable `status.relativePaths` is set to false, then all
paths shown are relative to the repository root, not to the current
directory.
Create a new manpage for the gitignore format, and reference it elsewhere Only git-ls-files(1) describes the gitignore format in detail, and it does so with reference to git-ls-files options. Most users don't use the plumbing command git-ls-files directly, and shouldn't have to look in its manpage for information on the gitignore format. Create a new manpage gitignore(5) (Documentation/gitignore.txt), and factor out the gitignore documentation into that file, changing it to refer to .gitignore and $GIT_DIR/info/exclude as used by porcelain commands. Reference gitignore(5) from other relevant manpages and documentation. Remove now-redundant information on exclude patterns from git-ls-files(1), leaving only information on how git-ls-files options specify exclude patterns and what precedence they have.
