SYNOPSIS
--------
Documentation: be consistent about "git-" versus "git " Since the git-* commands are not installed in $(bindir), using "git-command <parameters>" in examples in the documentation is not a good idea. On the other hand, it is nice to be able to refer to each command using one hyphenated word. (There is no escaping it, anyway: man page names cannot have spaces in them.) This patch retains the dash in naming an operation, command, program, process, or action. Complete command lines that can be entered at a shell (i.e., without options omitted) are made to use the dashless form. The changes consist only of replacing some spaces with hyphens and vice versa. After a "s/ /-/g", the unpatched and patched versions are identical. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@uchicago.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Documentation: let asciidoc align related options Command line options can share the same paragraph of description, if they are related or synonymous. In these cases they should be written among each other, so that asciidoc can format them itself.

This commit introduces new options -1/-2/-3 (with synonyms --base, --ours, and --theirs) to compare working tree files with specified stages. When none of these options are given, the command defaults to -2 if the index file is unmerged, otherwise it acts as before.

Diff against the "base" version, "our branch" or "their
branch" respectively. With these options, diffs for
merged entries are not shown.

War on whitespace This uses "git-apply --whitespace=strip" to fix whitespace errors that have crept in to our source files over time. There are a few files that need to have trailing whitespaces (most notably, test vectors). The results still passes the test, and build result in Documentation/ area is unchanged.

The default is to diff against our branch (-2) and the
diff-files: show diffs with stage0 and unmerged stage at the same time. After thinking about it more, I realized that much of the change I did on top of Linus' version does not make much sense. This commit reverts it so that it by default shows diffs with stage0 paths or stage2 paths with working tree; the unmerged stage to use can be overridden with -1/-2/-3 option (-2 is the default so essentially is a no-op). When the index file is unmerged, we are by definition in the middle of a conflicting merge, and we should show the diff with stage 2 by default. More importantly, paths without conflicts are updated in the working tree and collapsed to stage0 in the index, so showing diff with stage0 at the same time does not hurt. In normal cases, stage0 entries should be in sync with the working tree files and does not clutter the output. It even helps the user to realize that the working tree has local changes unrelated to the merge and remember to be careful not to do a "git-commit -a" after resolving the conflicts. When there is no unmerged entries, giving diff_unmerged_stage a default value of 2 does not cause any harm, because it would not be used anyway. So in all, always showing diff between stage0 paths and unmerged entries from a stage (defaulting to 2) is the right thing to do, as Linus originally did.

cleanly resolved paths. The option -0 can be given to
omit diff output for unmerged entries and just show "Unmerged".

Docs: Use "-l::\n--long\n" format in OPTIONS sections The OPTIONS section of a documentation file contains a list of the options a git command accepts. Currently there are several variants to describe the case that different options (almost) do the same in the OPTIONS section. Some are: -f, --foo:: -f|--foo:: -f | --foo:: But AsciiDoc has the special form: -f:: --foo:: This patch applies this form to the documentation of the whole git suite, and removes useless em-dash prevention, so \--foo becomes --foo.

This compares stage 2 (our branch), stage 3 (their
branch) and the working tree file and outputs a combined
diff, similar to the way 'diff-tree' shows a merge
commit with these flags.
