Some of strbuf is documented as comments above functions, and some is separate in Documentation/technical/api-strbuf.txt. This makes it annoying to find the appropriate documentation. We'd rather have it all in one place, which means all in the text document, or all in the header. Let's choose the header as that place. Even though the formatting is not quite as pretty, this keeps the documentation close to the related code. The hope is that this makes it easier to find what you want (human-readable comments are right next to the C declarations), and easier for writers to keep the documentation up to date. This is more or less a straight import of the text from api-strbuf.txt into C comments, complete with asciidoc formatting. The exceptions are: 1. All comments created in this way are started with "/**" to indicate they are part of the API documentation. This may help later with extracting the text to pretty-print it. 2. Function descriptions do not repeat the function name, as it is available in the context directly below. So: `strbuf_add`:: Add data of given length to the buffer. from api-strbuf.txt becomes: /** * Add data of given length to the buffer. */ void strbuf_add(struct strbuf *sb, const void *, size_t); As a result, any block-continuation required in asciidoc for that list item was dropped in favor of straight blank-line paragraph (since it is not necessary when we are not in a list item). 3. There is minor re-wording to integrate existing comments and api-strbuf text. In each case, I took whichever version was more descriptive, and eliminated any redundancies. In one case, for strbuf_addstr, the api documentation gave its inline definition; I eliminated this as redundant with the actual definition, which can be seen directly below the comment. 4. The functions in the header file are re-ordered to match the ordering of the API documentation, under the assumption that more thought went into the grouping there.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Git - the stupid content tracker //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "git" can mean anything, depending on your mood. - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant. - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang. - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room. - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals. Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net. Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions. See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help commandname". CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt ("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is installed). Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools. The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites. The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
