Subject: [PATCH v2 9/9] docs: add CONFIGURATION sections that fuzzy map to built-ins
Date: Fri, 29 Jul 2022 10:25:55 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <patch-v2-9.9-91689154926-20220729T081959Z-avarab@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover-v2-0.9-00000000000-20220729T081959Z-avarab@gmail.com>

Add a CONFIGURATION section to the documentation of various built-ins,
for those cases where the relevant config/NAME.txt doesn't map only to
one git-NAME.txt. In particular:

 * config/blame.txt: used by git-{blame,annotate}.txt. Since the
   git-annotate(1) documentation refers to git-blame(1) don't add a
   "CONFIGURATION" section to git-annotate(1), only to git-blame(1)>

 * config/branch.txt: maps to both git-checkout.txt and
   git-switch.txt (but nothing else).

 * config/init.txt: should be included in git-init(1) and
   git-clone(1).

 * config/column.txt: We should ideally mention the relevant subset of
   this in git-{branch,clean,status,tag}.txt, but let's punt on it for
   now. We will when we eventually split these sort of files into
   e.g. config/column.txt and
   config/column/{branch,clean,status,tag}.txt, with the former
   including the latter set.

Things that are being left out, and why:

 * config/remote.txt: let's not include this in
   git-{fetch,remote,push}.txt etc. for now, various options there
   change their behavior.

 * config/remotes.txt: As we're not including config/remote.txt for
   now, let's not include this one either.

 * config/credential.txt: let's not include this in
   git-credential.txt, it talks more generally about how the
   credential facility is used by various other commands, not that
   command in particular.
