git-update-server-info(1)
=========================
NAME
----
git-update-server-info - Update auxiliary info file to help dumb servers
SYNOPSIS
--------
Documentation: use [verse] for SYNOPSIS sections The SYNOPSIS sections of most commands that span several lines already use [verse] to retain line breaks. Most commands that don't span several lines seem not to use [verse]. In the HTML output, [verse] does not only preserve line breaks, but also makes the section indented, which causes a slight inconsistency between commands that use [verse] and those that don't. Use [verse] in all SYNOPSIS sections for consistency. Also remove the blank lines from git-fetch.txt and git-rebase.txt to align with the other man pages. In the case of git-rebase.txt, which already uses [verse], the blank line makes the [verse] not apply to the last line, so removing the blank line also makes the formatting within the document more consistent. While at it, add single quotes to 'git cvsimport' for consistency with other commands.

[verse]
update-server-info: avoid needless overwrites Do not change the existing info/refs and objects/info/packs files if they match the existing content on the filesystem. This is intended to preserve mtime and make it easier for dumb HTTP pollers to rely on the If-Modified-Since header. Combined with stdio and kernel buffering; the kernel should be able to avoid block layer writes and reduce wear for small files. As a result, the --force option is no longer needed. So stop documenting it, but let it remain for compatibility (and debugging, if necessary). v3: perform incremental comparison while generating to avoid OOM with giant files. Remove documentation for --force. Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <e@80x24.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

OUTPUT
------
Currently the command updates the following files. Please see
Documentation: fix links to tutorials and other new manual pages With the conversion of HTML documentation to man pages tutorial.html -> gittutorial (7) tutorial-2.html -> gittutorial-2 (7) cvs-migration.html -> gitcvs-migration (7) diffcore.html -> gitdiffcore (7) repository-layout.html -> gitrepository-layout (5) hooks.html -> githooks (5) glossary.html -> gitglossary (7) core-tutorial.html -> gitcore-tutorial (7) and the automatic update of references to these pages, a little debris was left behind. We clear it away. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@uchicago.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
