[PATCH 0/4] git-commit-graph.txt: various cleanups

[Martin Ågren]

The first patch is a bug-fix. The second applies some more
`monospace`-ing, which should also be good thing.

The last two patches are based on my understanding that `git
commit-graph` handles the "commit graph file", without a dash. If that's
correct, there might be more such cleanups to be made in other parts of
git.git. If the dash should actually be there, I could do these changes
in the other direction. Or maybe dash-vs-no-dash is not an actual
problem at all...

[PATCH 1/4] git-commit-graph.txt: fix bullet lists

[Martin Ågren]

We have a couple of bullet items which span multiple lines, and where we
have prefixed each line with a `*`. (This might be the result of a text
editor trying to help.) This results in each line being typeset as a
separate bullet item. Drop the extra `*`.

Thank you for noticing this. It clearly looks wrong at

[PATCH 3/4] git-commit-graph.txt: refer to "*commit* graph file"

[Martin Ågren]

This document sometimes refers to the "commit graph file" as just "the
graph file". This saves a couple of words here and there at the risk of
confusion. In particular, the documentation for `git commit-graph read`
appears to suggest that there are indeed different types of graph files.

Let's just write out the full name everywhere.

The full name, by the way, is not the "commit-graph file" with a dash,
cf. the synopsis. Use the dashless form. (The next commit will fix the
remaining few instances of the "commit-graph file" in this document.)

The file is literally at ".git/objects/info/commit-graph" which is why I 
tried to use "commit-graph" everywhere. Why do you think that "commit 
graph" is better?

I noticed the discrepancy between "commit graph file" and "commit-graph
file" and briefly wondered if it was intentional, i.e., if it meant
anything, but the dash vs no dash seemed pretty random to me. In order
to figure out which was (more) correct, I went to the synopsis. But
admittedly, that was quite arbitrary. For all I know, "the commit-graph
file" could be the better choice, grammatically.

There is the file named "commit-graph" as you note, but it might on the
other hand just as well be called "cg.bin". I would probably try to let
the filename "commit-graph" influence the user manual only if we would
have written "cg.bin" instead. For example, if we would talk about how
you might get out of a hole by deleting the "<...>/commit-graph"
("cg.bin") file manually.

But that's certainly not to argue against "the commit-graph file". I'd
be happy to s/commit graph file/commit-graph file/g instead to keep
others from wondering if these are two slightly different things. And
if the concept and the file have the same name, all the better.

If you agree, I'll do that in a v2, where I will also note in the
Options section that `--object-dir` takes a `<dir>`.

Yeah, the fact that I was inconsistent forced you to make a choice. 
Sorry for that.

I think "commit-graph" is better. Thanks for also catching the `...` 
formatting.

[PATCH v2 4/4] Doc: refer to the "commit-graph file" with dash

[Martin Ågren]

The file processed by `git commit-graph` is referred to as the
"commit-graph file", also with a dash. We have a few references to the
"commit graph file", though, without the dash. These occur in
git-commit-graph.txt as well as in Doc/technical/commit-graph.txt. Fix
them.

Do not change the references to the "commit graph" (without "... file")
as a data structure.

Thanks! This version satisfies my concerns and looks good to me.

Thanks for the spectacularly snappy review. I don't expect commit graphs
to help my use cases a lot, but I still wanted to try them out a little

[PATCH 4/4] git-commit-graph.txt: refer to the "commit graph file" without dash

[Martin Ågren]

The command is `git commit-graph`, but the file it processes is the
"commit graph file" without a dash. We have a few references to the
"commit-graph file", though. Fix them.
