2026-05-13ignore: note info/exclude lives in GIT_COMMON_DIR, not GIT_DIRD. Ben Knoble1-2/+2
gitignore(5) says that the per-repository ignore file is $GIT_DIR/info/exclude, but in a worktree that is not the case: git rev-parse --git-path info/exclude /path/to/main/worktree/.git/info/exclude git rev-parse --git-common-dir /path/to/main/worktree/.git We actually use $GIT_COMMON_DIR/info/exclude. Adjust the documentation and some code comments to say so. Signed-off-by: D. Ben Knoble <ben.knoble+github@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2025-01-21doc: use .adoc extension for AsciiDoc filesbrian m. carlson1-0/+424
We presently use the ".txt" extension for our AsciiDoc files. While not wrong, most editors do not associate this extension with AsciiDoc, meaning that contributors don't get automatic editor functionality that could be useful, such as syntax highlighting and prose linting. It is much more common to use the ".adoc" extension for AsciiDoc files, since this helps editors automatically detect files and also allows various forges to provide rich (HTML-like) rendering. Let's do that here, renaming all of the files and updating the includes where relevant. Adjust the various build scripts and makefiles to use the new extension as well. Note that this should not result in any user-visible changes to the documentation. Signed-off-by: brian m. carlson <sandals@crustytoothpaste.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
