Doc lint updates to encourage the newer and easier-to-use `synopsis` format, with fixes to a handful of existing uses. * ja/doc-lint-sections-and-synopsis: doc lint: check that synopsis manpages have synopsis inlines doc:git-for-each-ref: fix styling and typos doc: check for absence of the form --[no-]parameter doc: check for absence of multiple terms in each entry of desc list doc: check well-formedness of delimited sections doc: test linkgit macros for well-formedness
2025-08-11doc: check for absence of the form --[no-]parameterJean-Noël Avila1-2/+4
For better searchability, this commit adds a check to ensure that parameters expressed in the form of `--[no-]parameter` are not used in the documentation. In the place of such parameters, the documentation should list two separate parameters: `--parameter` and `--no-parameter`.

2025-07-24submodule: prevent overwriting .gitmodules on path reuseK Jayatheerth1-0/+7
Adding a submodule at a path that previously hosted another submodule (e.g., 'child') reuses the submodule name derived from the path. If the original submodule was only moved (e.g., to 'child_old') and not renamed, this silently overwrites its configuration in .gitmodules. This behavior loses user configuration and causes confusion when the original submodule is expected to remain intact. It assumes that the path-derived name is always safe to reuse, even though the name might still be in use elsewhere in the repository. Teach module_add() to check if the computed submodule name already exists in the repository's submodule config, and if so, refuse the operation unless the user explicitly renames the submodule or uses the --force option, which will automatically generate a unique name by appending a number (e.g., child1).

2025-01-21doc: use .adoc extension for AsciiDoc filesbrian m. carlson1-0/+473
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>
