The 'git gui' has a number of options that can be specified using the options dialog. Sometimes it is convenient to be able to specify these from the command line, therefor document these options. Signed-off-by: Gustaf Hendeby <hendeby@xxxxxxxxxx> --- This manual update was initiated by the problem with git gui freezing up at start when only aspell previous to version 0.6 is available. For the moment a fix is to set gui.spellingdictionary="none", however this option isn't documented anywhere but in code. I think it would be nice to have this option and other used by git gui documented somewhere, even if for no other reason than to understand what is in your .gitconfig. This patch introduces some more of the git gui specific options in config.txt with the reset of the git options (as suggested by Shawn.). An option would be to put the documentation in git-gui.txt and link to there from config.txt. This way the config documentation does get less cluttered, and it makes it possible to have different documentation for different versions of git gui. Does anyone have any opinions? Maybe it is only me that think the options needs to be documented at? /Gustaf Documentation/config.txt | 31 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 files changed, 31 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/Documentation/config.txt b/Documentation/config.txt index fe43b12..06ab05e 100644 --- a/Documentation/config.txt +++ b/Documentation/config.txt @@ -673,6 +673,37 @@ specified as 'gitcvs.<access_method>.<varname>' (where 'access_method' is one of "ext" and "pserver") to make them apply only for the given access method. +gui.commitmsgwidth:: + Defines how wide the commit message window is in the + linkgit:git-gui[1].
