Documentation/Makefile: make doc.dep dependencies a variable again Re-introduce a variable to declare what *.txt files need to be considered for the purposes of scouring files to generate a dependency graph of includes. When doc.dep was introduced in a5ae8e64cf (Fix documentation dependency generation., 2005-11-07) we had such a variable called TEXTFILES, but it was refactored away just a few commits after that in fb612d54c1 (Documentation: fix dependency generation., 2005-11-07). I'm planning to add more wildcards here, so let's bring it back. I'm not calling it TEXTFILES because we e.g. don't consider Documentation/technical/*.txt when generating the graph (they don't use includes). Let's instead call it DOC_DEP_TXT.

docs: exclude documentation for commands that have been excluded When building with certain build options, some commands are excluded from the build. For example, `git-credential-cache` is skipped when building with `NO_UNIX_SOCKETS`. Let's not build or package documentation for those excluded commands. This issue was pointed out rightfully when running `make check-docs` on Windows, where we do not yet have Unix sockets, and therefore the `credential-cache` command is excluded (yet its documentation was built and shipped). Note: building the documentation via `make -C Documentation` leaves the build system with no way to determine which commands have been excluded. If called thusly, we gracefully fail to exclude their documentation. Only when building the documentation via the top-level Makefile will it get excluded properly, or after building `Documentation/GIT-EXCLUDED-PROGRAMS` manually.

command-list.txt: add missing 'gitcredentials' and 'gitremote-helpers' The guides 'gitcredentials' and 'gitremote-helpers' do not currently appear in command-list.txt. 'gitcredentials' was forgotten back when guides were added to command-list.txt in 1b81d8cb19 (help: use command-list.txt for the source of guides, 2018-05-20). 'gitremote-helpers' was moved to section 7 in 439cc74632 (docs: move gitremote-helpers into section 7, 2019-03-25), but command-list.txt was not updated at the time. Add these two guides to the list of guides in 'command-list.txt', so that they appear in the output of 'git help --guides', and capitalize the first word of the description of 'gitcredentials', as was done in 1b81d8c (help: use command-list.txt for the source of guides, 2018-05-20) for the other guides.

docs: add a FAQ Git is an enormously flexible and powerful piece of software. However, it can be intimidating for many users and there are a set of common questions that users often ask. While we already have some new user documentation, it's worth adding a FAQ to address common questions that users often have. Even though some of this is addressed elsewhere in the documentation, experience has shown that it is difficult for users to find, so a centralized location is helpful. Add such a FAQ and fill it with some common questions and answers. While there are few entries now, we can expand it in the future to cover more things as we find new questions that users have. Let's also add section markers so that people answering questions can directly link users to the proper answer. The FAQ also addresses common configuration questions that apply not only to Git as an independent piece of software but also the ecosystem of CI tools and hosting providers that people use, since these are the source of common questions. An attempt has been made to avoid mentioning any particular provider or tool, but to nevertheless cover common configurations that apply to a wide variety of such tools. Note that the long lines for certain questions are required, since Asciidoctor does not permit broken lines there.

submodules: overhaul documentation This patch aims to detangle (a) the usage of `git-submodule` from (b) the concept of submodules and (c) how the actual implementation looks like, such as where they are configured and (d) what the best practices are. To do so, move the conceptual parts of the 'git-submodule' man page to a new man page gitsubmodules(7). This new page is just like gitmodules(5), gitattributes(5), gitcredentials(7), gitnamespaces(7), gittutorial(7), which introduce a concept rather than explaining a specific command.

Document how we do embargoed releases Whenever we fix critical vulnerabilities, we follow some sort of protocol (e.g. setting a coordinated release date, keeping the fix under embargo until that time, coordinating with packagers and/or hosting sites, etc).

documentation: add tutorial for object walking Existing documentation on object walks seems to be primarily intended as a reference for those already familiar with the procedure. This tutorial attempts to give an entry-level guide to a couple of bare-bones object walks so that new Git contributors can learn the concepts without having to wade through options parsing or special casing. The target audience is a Git contributor who is just getting started with the concept of object walking. The goal is to prepare this contributor to be able to understand and modify existing commands which perform revision walks more easily, although it will also prepare contributors to create new commands which perform walks. The tutorial covers a basic overview of the structs involved during object walk, setting up a basic commit walk, setting up a basic all-object walk, and adding some configuration changes to both walk types. It intentionally does not cover how to create new commands or search for options from the command line or gitconfigs. There is an associated patchset at https://github.com/nasamuffin/git/tree/revwalk that contains a reference implementation of the code generated by this tutorial.

Documentation: convert SubmittingPatches to AsciiDoc The SubmittingPatches document is often cited by outside parties as an example of good practices to follow, including logical, independent commits; patch sign-offs; and sending patches to a mailing list. Currently, people who want to cite a particular section tend to either refer to it by name and let the interested party search through the document to find it, or link to a given line number on GitHub and hope the file doesn't change. Instead, convert the document to AsciiDoc. Build it as part of the technical documentation, since it is likely of interest to the same group of people. Provide stable links to the sections which outside parties are likely to want to link to. Make some minor structural changes to organize it so that it can be formatted sanely. Since the makefile needs a .txt extension in order to build with the rest of the documentation, simply copy the file. Ignore the temporary file so it doesn't get checked in accidentally, and remove it as part of the clean process. Do this instead of renaming the file so that people who have already linked to the documentation (who we're trying to help) don't find their links broken. Avoid symlinking since Windows will not like that. This allows us to render the document as part of the website for the benefit of others who wish to link to it as well as providing a more nicely formatted display for our community and potential contributors.

The intention is that it will be a simpler, less wasteful protocol which can evolve over time. Protocol version 2 improves upon version 1 by eliminating the initial ref advertisement. In its place a server will export a list of capabilities and commands which it supports in a capability advertisement. A client can then request that a particular command be executed by providing a number of capabilities and command specific parameters. At the completion of a command, a client can request that another command be executed or can terminate the connection by sending a flush packet.

reftable: file format documentation Shawn Pearce explains: Some repositories contain a lot of references (e.g. android at 866k, rails at 31k). The reftable format provides: - Near constant time lookup for any single reference, even when the repository is cold and not in process or kernel cache. - Near constant time verification if a SHA-1 is referred to by at least one reference (for allow-tip-sha1-in-want). - Efficient lookup of an entire namespace, such as `refs/tags/`. - Support atomic push `O(size_of_update)` operations. - Combine reflog storage with ref storage. This file format spec was originally written in July, 2017 by Shawn Pearce. Some refinements since then were made by Shawn and by Han-Wen Nienhuys based on experiences implementing and experimenting with the format. (All of this was in the context of our work at Google and Google is happy to contribute the result to the Git project.) Imported from JGit[1]'s current version (c217d33ff, "Documentation/technical/reftable: improve repo layout", 2020-02-04) of Documentation/technical/reftable.md and converted to asciidoc by running pandoc -t asciidoc -f markdown reftable.md >reftable.txt using pandoc 2.2.1. The result required the following additional minor changes: - removed the [TOC] directive to add a table of contents, since asciidoc does not support it - replaced git-scm.com/docs links with linkgit: directives that link to other pages within Git's documentation [1] https://eclipse.googlesource.com/jgit/jgit Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Doc/Makefile: give mansource/-version/-manual attributes Rather than hardcoding "Git Manual" and "Git" as the manual and source in asciidoc.conf, provide them as attributes `manmanual` and `mansource`. Rename the `git_version` attribute to `manversion`. These new attribute names are not arbitrary, see, e.g., [1]. For AsciiDoc (8.6.10) and Asciidoctor <1.5.7, this is a no-op. Starting with Asciidoctor 1.5.7, `manmanual` and `mansource` actually end up in the xml-files and eventually in the rendered manpages. In particular, the manpage headers now render just as with AsciiDoc. No versions of Asciidoctor pick up the `manversion` [2], and older versions don't pick up any of these attributes. -- We'll fix that with a bit of a hack in the next commit.

Add support for an info version of the user manual These patches use docbook2x in order to create an info version of the git user manual. No existing Makefile targets (including "all") are touched, so you need to explicitly say make info sudo make install-info to get git.info created and installed. If the info target directory does not already contain a "dir" file, no directory entry is created. This facilitates $(DESTDIR)-based installations. The same could be achieved with sudo make INSTALL_INFO=: install-info explicitly. perl is used for patching up sub-par file and directory information in the Texinfo file. It would be cleaner to place the respective info straight into user-manual.txt or the conversion configurations, but I find myself unable to find out how to do this with Asciidoc/Texinfo.

Documentation: bold literals in man Backticks are emphasized through monospaced styling in the HTML version of Git documentation. But they were left unstyled in the manual pages. To make the man pages more comfortably read, `MAN_BOLD_LITERAL` was added by 5121a6d (Documentation: option to render literal text as bold for manpages, 2009-03-27). It allowed the user to build the manpages with literals in bold style. For precaution it was not set by default back then. Since 79c461d (docs: default to more modern toolset, 2010-11-19), it is assumed ASCIIDOC 8 and at least docbook-xsl 1.73 are used, so the need for compatibility concern is much lessor now. Remove `MAN_BOLD_LITERAL`, and typeset literals as bold by default . Add `NO_MAN_BOLD_LITERAL`, a new Makefile option, disabling this feature when defined.

Documentation: option to render literal text as bold for manpages This allows manpages viewed on a tty to render inline literal text in a manner that is distinct from the surrounding text. The initial implementation (pre-mailing-list) of this patch included a conditional variant of the XSLT code in manpage-base.xsl and use xmlto's --stringparam option to optionally enable the functionality. It turns out that --stringparam is broken in all versions of xmlto except for the pre-release, SVN version. Since xmlto is a shell script the patch to fix it is simple enough, but I instead opted to use xmlto's "module" functionality. Testing done with asciidoc 8.3.1 and docbook-xsl 1.74.0.

Documentation: Fix man page breakage with DocBook XSL v1.72 From version 1.72 it will replace all dots in roff requests with U+2302 ("house" character), and add escaping in output for all instances of dot that are not in roff requests. This caused the ".ft" hack forcing monospace font in listingblocks to end up as "\&.ft" and being visible in the resulting man page. The fix adds a DOCBOOK_XSL_172 build variable that will disable the hack. To allow this variable to be defined in config.mak it also moves build variable handling below the inclusion of config.mak.

Unfortunately, older xmlto (at least version 0.0.18 released in early 2004 that comes with RHEL/CentOS 5) does not understand the --stringparam command line option, so we cannot add the parameter definition unconditionally to the command line.

Quote ' as \(aq in manpages The docbook/xmlto toolchain insists on quoting ' as \'. This does achieve the quoting goal, but modern 'man' implementations turn the apostrophe into a unicode "proper" apostrophe (given the right circumstances), breaking code examples in many of our manpages. Quote them as \(aq instead, which is an "apostrophe quote" as per the groff_char manpage. Unfortunately, as Anders Kaseorg kindly pointed out, this is not portable beyond groff, so we add an extra Makefile variable GNU_ROFF which you need to enable to get the new quoting.

Documentation: fix build with Asciidoctor 2 Our documentation toolchain has traditionally been built around DocBook 4.5. This version of DocBook is the last DTD-based version of DocBook. In 2009, DocBook 5 was introduced using namespaces and its syntax is expressed in RELAX NG, which is more expressive and allows a wider variety of syntax forms. Asciidoctor, one of the alternatives for building our documentation, moved support for DocBook 4.5 out of core in its recent 2.0 release and now only supports DocBook 5 in the main release. The DocBoook 4.5 converter is still available as a separate component, but this is not available in most distro packages. This would not be a problem but for the fact that we use xmlto, which is still stuck in the DocBook 4.5 era. xmlto performs DTD validation as part of the build process. This is not problematic for DocBook 4.5, which has a valid DTD, but it clearly cannot work for DocBook 5, since no DTD can adequately express its full syntax. In addition, even if xmlto did support RELAX NG validation, that wouldn't be sufficient because it uses the libxml2-based xmllint to do so, which has known problems with validating interleaves in RELAX NG. Fortunately, there's an easy way forward: ask Asciidoctor to use its DocBook 5 backend and tell xmlto to skip validation. Asciidoctor has supported DocBook 5 since v0.1.4 in 2013 and xmlto has supported skipping validation for probably longer than that. We also need to teach xmlto how to use the namespaced DocBook XSLT stylesheets instead of the non-namespaced ones it usually uses. Normally these stylesheets are interchangeable, but the non-namespaced ones have a bug that causes them not to strip whitespace automatically from certain elements when namespaces are in use. This results in additional whitespace at the beginning of list elements, which is jarring and unsightly. We can do this by passing a custom stylesheet with the -x option that simply imports the namespaced stylesheets via a URL. Any system with support for XML catalogs will automatically look this URL up and reference a local copy instead without us having to know where this local copy is located. We know that anyone using xmlto will already have catalogs set up properly since the DocBook 4.5 DTD used during validation is also looked up via catalogs. All major Linux distributions distribute the necessary stylesheets and have built-in catalog support, and Homebrew does as well, albeit with a requirement to set an environment variable to enable catalog support. On the off chance that someone lacks support for catalogs, it is possible for xmlto (via xmllint) to download the stylesheets from the URLs in question, although this will likely perform poorly enough to attract attention. People still have the option of using the prebuilt documentation that we ship, so happily this should not be an impediment. Finally, we need to filter out some messages from other stylesheets that occur when invoking dblatex in the CI job. This tool strips namespaces much like the unnamespaced DocBook stylesheets and prints similar messages. If we permit these messages to be printed to standard error, our documentation CI job will fail because we check standard error for unexpected output. Due to dblatex's reliance on Python 2, we may need to revisit its use in the future, in which case this problem may go away, but this can be delayed until a future patch. The final message we filter is due to libxslt on modern Debian and Ubuntu. The patch which they use to implement reproducible ID generation also prints messages about the ID generation. While this doesn't affect our current CI images since they use Ubuntu 16.04 which lacks this patch, if we upgrade to Ubuntu 18.04 or a modern Debian, these messages will appear and, like the above messages, cause a CI failure.

Add support for an info version of the user manual These patches use docbook2x in order to create an info version of the git user manual. No existing Makefile targets (including "all") are touched, so you need to explicitly say make info sudo make install-info to get git.info created and installed.

For example, the second invocation of 'make clean' below: $ make clean >/dev/null 2>&1 $ make clean ... make[1]: Entering directory '/home/ramsay/git/Documentation' make[2]: Entering directory '/home/ramsay/git' make[2]: 'GIT-VERSION-FILE' is up to date. make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/ramsay/git' ... $ has been timed at 12.364s on my laptop (an old core i5-4200M @ 2.50GHz, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD). Notice that the 'clean' target is making a nested call to the parent Makefile to ensure that the GIT-VERSION-FILE is up-to-date (prior to the previous patch, there would have been _two_ such invocations). This is to ensure that the $(GIT_VERSION) make variable is set, once that file had been included. However, the 'clean' target does not use the $(GIT_VERSION) variable, directly or indirectly, so it does not have any affect on what the target removes. Therefore, the time spent on ensuring an up to date GIT-VERSION-FILE is wasted effort. In order to eliminate such wasted effort, use the value of the internal $(MAKECMDGOALS) variable to only '-include ../GIT-VERSION-FILE' when the target is not 'clean'.

When doc.dep was introduced in a5ae8e64cf (Fix documentation dependency generation., 2005-11-07) we had such a variable called TEXTFILES, but it was refactored away just a few commits after that in fb612d54c1 (Documentation: fix dependency generation., 2005-11-07). I'm planning to add more wildcards here, so let's bring it back. I'm not calling it TEXTFILES because we e.g. don't consider Documentation/technical/*.txt when generating the graph (they don't use includes). Let's instead call it DOC_DEP_TXT.

Notice that, since the 'doc.dep' file does not exist, make takes the time (about 8s) to generate several files in order to create the doc.dep include file. (If an 'include' file is missing, but a target for the said file is present in the Makefile, make will execute that target and, if that file now exists, throw away all its internal data and re-read and re-parse the Makefile). Having spent the time to include the 'doc.dep' file, the 'clean' target immediately deletes those files. The document dependencies specified in the 'doc.dep' include file, expressed as make targets and prerequisites, do not affect what the 'clean' target removes. Therefore, the time spent in generating the dependencies is completely wasted effort. In order to eliminate such wasted effort, use the value of the internal $(MAKECMDGOALS) variable to only '-include doc.dep' when the target is not 'clean'.

doc: remove unnecessary rm instances Commits 50cff52f1a (When generating manpages, delete outdated targets first., 2007-08-02) and f9286765b2 (Documentation/Makefile: remove cmd-list.made before redirecting to it., 2007-08-06) created these rm instances for a very rare corner-case: building as root by mistake. It's odd to have workarounds here, but nowhere else in the Makefile-- which already fails in this stuation, starting from Documentation/technical/. We gain nothing but complexity, so let's remove them.

Documentation: convert SubmittingPatches to AsciiDoc The SubmittingPatches document is often cited by outside parties as an example of good practices to follow, including logical, independent commits; patch sign-offs; and sending patches to a mailing list. Currently, people who want to cite a particular section tend to either refer to it by name and let the interested party search through the document to find it, or link to a given line number on GitHub and hope the file doesn't change. Instead, convert the document to AsciiDoc. Build it as part of the technical documentation, since it is likely of interest to the same group of people. Provide stable links to the sections which outside parties are likely to want to link to. Make some minor structural changes to organize it so that it can be formatted sanely. Since the makefile needs a .txt extension in order to build with the rest of the documentation, simply copy the file. Ignore the temporary file so it doesn't get checked in accidentally, and remove it as part of the clean process. Do this instead of renaming the file so that people who have already linked to the documentation (who we're trying to help) don't find their links broken. Avoid symlinking since Windows will not like that. This allows us to render the document as part of the website for the benefit of others who wish to link to it as well as providing a more nicely formatted display for our community and potential contributors.

Documentation: add git user's manual The goals are: - Readable from beginning to end in order without having read any other git documentation beforehand. - Helpful section names and cross-references, so it's not too hard to skip around some if you need to. - Organized to allow it to grow much larger (unlike the tutorials) It's more liesurely than tutorial.txt, but tries to stay focused on practical how-to stuff. It adds a discussion of how to resolve merge conflicts, and partial instructions on setting up and dealing with a public repository. I've lifted a little bit from "branching and merging" (e.g., some of the discussion of history diagrams), and could probably steal more if that's OK. (Similarly anyone should of course feel free to reuse bits of this if any parts seem more useful than the whole.) There's a lot of detail on managing branches and using git-fetch, just because those are essential even to people needing read-only access (e.g., kernel testers). I think those sections will be much shorter once the new "git remote" command and the disconnected checkouts are taken into account. I do feel bad about adding yet another piece of documentation, but I we need something that goes through all the basics in a logical order, and I wasn't seeing how to grow the tutorials into that.

docs: fix cross-directory linkgit references Most of our documentation is in a single directory, so using linkgit:git-config[1] just generates a relative link in the same directory. However, this is not the case with the API documentation in technical/*, which need to refer to git-config from the parent directory. We can fix this by passing a special prefix attribute when building in a subdirectory, and respecting that prefix in our linkgit definitions. We only have to modify the html linkgit definition. For manpages, we can ignore this for two reasons: 1. we do not generate actual links to the file in manpages, but instead just give the name and section of the linked manpage 2. we do not currently build manpages for subdirectories, only html Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Documentation: add git user's manual The goals are: - Readable from beginning to end in order without having read any other git documentation beforehand. - Helpful section names and cross-references, so it's not too hard to skip around some if you need to. - Organized to allow it to grow much larger (unlike the tutorials) It's more liesurely than tutorial.txt, but tries to stay focused on practical how-to stuff. It adds a discussion of how to resolve merge conflicts, and partial instructions on setting up and dealing with a public repository. I've lifted a little bit from "branching and merging" (e.g., some of the discussion of history diagrams), and could probably steal more if that's OK. (Similarly anyone should of course feel free to reuse bits of this if any parts seem more useful than the whole.) There's a lot of detail on managing branches and using git-fetch, just because those are essential even to people needing read-only access (e.g., kernel testers). I think those sections will be much shorter once the new "git remote" command and the disconnected checkouts are taken into account. I do feel bad about adding yet another piece of documentation, but I we need something that goes through all the basics in a logical order, and I wasn't seeing how to grow the tutorials into that.

Documentation: add XSLT to fix DocBook for Texinfo There are two ways to create a section in a reference document (i.e., manpage) in DocBook 4: refsection elements and refsect, refsect2, and refsect3 elements. Either form is acceptable as of DocBook 4.2, but they cannot be mixed. Prior to DocBook 4.2, only the numbered forms were acceptable. docbook2texi only accepts the numbered forms, and this has not generally been a problem, since AsciiDoc produces the numbered forms. Asciidoctor, on the other hand, uses a shared backend for DocBook 4 and 5, and uses the unnumbered refsection elements instead. If we don't convert the unnumbered form to the numbered form, docbook2texi omits section headings, which is undesirable. Add an XSLT stylesheet to transform the unnumbered forms to the numbered forms automatically, and preprocess the DocBook XML as part of the transformation to Texinfo format. Note that this transformation is only necessary for Texinfo, since docbook2texi provides its own stylesheets. The DocBook stylesheets, which we use for other formats, provide the full range of DocBook 4 and 5 compatibility, and don't have this issue.

Add support for an info version of the user manual These patches use docbook2x in order to create an info version of the git user manual. No existing Makefile targets (including "all") are touched, so you need to explicitly say make info sudo make install-info to get git.info created and installed. If the info target directory does not already contain a "dir" file, no directory entry is created. This facilitates $(DESTDIR)-based installations. The same could be achieved with sudo make INSTALL_INFO=: install-info explicitly. perl is used for patching up sub-par file and directory information in the Texinfo file. It would be cleaner to place the respective info straight into user-manual.txt or the conversion configurations, but I find myself unable to find out how to do this with Asciidoc/Texinfo.

However, this is not the case with the API documentation in technical/*, which need to refer to git-config from the parent directory. We can fix this by passing a special prefix attribute when building in a subdirectory, and respecting that prefix in our linkgit definitions. We only have to modify the html linkgit definition. For manpages, we can ignore this for two reasons: 1. we do not generate actual links to the file in manpages, but instead just give the name and section of the linked manpage 2. we do not currently build manpages for subdirectories, only html Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

check-docs: get documented command list from Makefile The current code tries to get a list of documented commands by doing "ls Documentation/git*txt" and culling a bunch of special cases from the result. Looking for "git-*.txt" would be more accurate, but would miss a few commands like "gitweb" and "gitk". Fortunately, Documentation/Makefile already knows what this list is, so we can just ask it. Annoyingly, we still have to post-process its output a little, since make will print extra cruft like "GIT-VERSION-FILE is up to date" to stdout. Now that our list is accurate, we can remove all of the ugly special-cases. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

lint-docs::
doc lint: fix bugs in, simplify and improve lint script The lint-gitlink.perl script added in ab81411ced (ci: validate "linkgit:" in documentation, 2016-05-04) was more complex than it needed to be. It: - Was using File::Find to recursively find *.txt files in Documentation/, let's instead use the Makefile as a source of truth for *.txt files, and pass it down to the script. - We now don't lint linkgit:* in RelNotes/* or technical/*, which we shouldn't have been doing in the first place anyway. - When the doc-diff script was added in beb188e22a (add a script to diff rendered documentation, 2018-08-06) we started sometimes having a "git worktree" under Documentation/. This tree contains a full checkout of git.git, as a result the "lint" script would recurse into that, and lint any *.txt file found in that entire repository. In practice the only in-tree "linkgit" outside of the Documentation/ tree is contrib/contacts/git-contacts.txt and contrib/subtree/git-subtree.txt, so this wouldn't emit any errors Now we instead simply trust the Makefile to give us *.txt files. Since the Makefile also knows what sections each page should be in we don't have to open the files ourselves and try to parse that out. As a bonus this will also catch bugs with the section line in the files themselves being incorrect. The structure of the new script is mostly based on t/check-non-portable-shell.pl. As an added bonus it will also use pos() to print where the problems it finds are, e.g. given an issue like: diff --git a/Documentation/git-cherry.txt b/Documentation/git-cherry.txt [...] and line numbers. git-cherry therefore detects when commits have been -"copied" by means of linkgit:git-cherry-pick[1], linkgit:git-am[1] or -linkgit:git-rebase[1]. +"copied" by means of linkgit:git-cherry-pick[2], linkgit:git-am[3] or +linkgit:git-rebase[4]. We'll now emit: git-cherry.txt:20: error: git-cherry-pick[2]: wrong section (should be 1), shown with 'HERE' below: git-cherry.txt:20: '"copied" by means of linkgit:git-cherry-pick[2]' <-- HERE git-cherry.txt:20: error: git-am[3]: wrong section (should be 1), shown with 'HERE' below: git-cherry.txt:20: '"copied" by means of linkgit:git-cherry-pick[2], linkgit:git-am[3]' <-- HERE git-cherry.txt:21: error: git-rebase[4]: wrong section (should be 1), shown with 'HERE' below: git-cherry.txt:21: 'linkgit:git-rebase[4]' <-- HERE Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

doc lint: lint and fix missing "GIT" end sections Lint for and fix the three manual pages that were missing the standard "Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite" end section. We only do this for the man[157] section documents (we don't have anything outside those sections), not files to be included, howto *.txt files etc. We could also add this to the existing (and then renamed) lint-gitlink.perl, but I'm not doing that here. Obviously all of that fits in one script, but I think for something like this that's a one-off script with global variables it's much harder to follow when a large part of your script is some if/else or keeping/resetting of state simply to work around the script doing two things instead of one. Especially because in this case this script wants to process the file as one big string, but lint-gitlink.perl wants to look at it one line at a time. We could also consolidate this whole thing and t/check-non-portable-shell.pl, but that one likes to join lines as part of its shell parsing. So let's just add another script, whole scaffolding is basically: use strict; use warnings; sub report { ... } my $code = 0; while (<>) { ... } exit $code; We'd spend more lines effort trying to consolidate them than just copying that around.

doc lint: lint relative section order Add a linting script to check the relative order of the sections in the documentation. We should have NAME, then SYNOPSIS, DESCRIPTION, OPTIONS etc. in that order. That holds true throughout our documentation, except for a few exceptions which are hardcoded in the linting script.

ci: validate "linkgit:" in documentation It is easy to add incorrect "linkgit:<page>[<section>]" references to our documentation suite. Catch these common classes of errors: * Referring to Documentation/<page>.txt that does not exist. * Referring to a <page> outside the Git suite. In general, <page> must begin with "git". * Listing the manual <section> incorrectly. The first line of the Documentation/<page>.txt must end with "(<section>)". with a new script "ci/lint-gitlink", and drive it from "make check-docs". Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Documentation/Makefile add optional targets for l10n The standard doc lists can be filtered to allow using the compilation rules with translated manpages where all the pages of the original version may not be present. The install variable are reused in the secondary repo so that the configured paths can be used for translated manpages too.

doc: simplify Makefile using .DELETE_ON_ERROR Currently GNU make already removes files when catching an interruption signal, however, in order to deal with other kinds of errors a workaround is in place to store target output to a temporary file, and only move it to its right place on success. By enabling the built-in .DELETE_ON_ERROR we let make do this task, so we don't have to. This way the rules can be simplified a lot.

Makefile: consolidate .FORCE-* targets Providing multiple targets to force a rebuild is unnecessary complication. Avoid using a name that could conflict with future special targets in GNU make (a leading period followed by uppercase letters).
