Subject: [PATCH 2/3] Update git(7) man-page for the C wrapper.
Date: Wed, 16 Nov 2005 00:31:25 +0100 (CET) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20051115233125.251595BFA0@nox.op5.se> (raw)
The program 'git' now has --exec-path which needs explaining.
Renamed old "DESCRIPTION" to "CORE GIT COMMANDS" to make room for
"OPTIONS" while following follow some sort of convention.
Also updated AUTHORS section to pat my own back a bit.

SYNOPSIS
--------
-'git-<command>' <args>
+'git' [--version] [--exec-path[=GIT_EXEC_PATH]] [--help] COMMAND [ARGS]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
+'git' is both a program and a directory content tracker system.
+The program 'git' is just a wrapper to reach the core git programs
+(or a potty if you like, as it's not exactly porcelain but still
+brings your stuff to the plumbing).
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+--version::
+ prints the git suite version that the 'git' program came from.
+
+--help::
+ prints the synopsis and a list of available commands.
+
+--exec-path::
+ path to wherever your core git programs are installed.
+ This can also be controlled by setting the GIT_EXEC_PATH
+ environment variable. If no path is given 'git' will print
+ the current setting and then exit.
-This is reference information for the core git commands.
