However, this is not the case with the API documentation in technical/*, which need to refer to git-config from the parent directory. We can fix this by passing a special prefix attribute when building in a subdirectory, and respecting that prefix in our linkgit definitions. We only have to modify the html linkgit definition. For manpages, we can ignore this for two reasons: 1. we do not generate actual links to the file in manpages, but instead just give the name and section of the linked manpage 2. we do not currently build manpages for subdirectories, only html Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> 
Most of our documentation is in a single directory, so using
linkgit:git-config[1] just generates a relative link in the
same directory. However, this is not the case with the API
documentation in technical/*, which need to refer to
git-config from the parent directory.

We can fix this by passing a special prefix attribute when building
in a subdirectory, and respecting that prefix in our linkgit
definitions.

We only have to modify the html linkgit definition.  For
manpages, we can ignore this for two reasons:

  1. we do not generate actual links to the file in
     manpages, but instead just give the name and section of
     the linked manpage

  2. we do not currently build manpages for subdirectories,
     only html

ll-merge: replace flag argument with options struct 2010-08-26T16:18:51+00:00 Jonathan Nieder jrnieder@gmail.com 2010-08-26T05:49:53+00:00 712516bcacacd45b4825ec649f15c3573f6fb42a Keeping track of the flag bits is proving more trouble than it's worth. Instead, use a pointer to an options struct like most similar APIs do. Callers with no special requests can pass NULL to request the default options.

ll-merge: make flag easier to populate 2010-08-06T16:20:01+00:00 Jonathan Nieder jrnieder@gmail.com 2010-08-05T11:17:38+00:00 73cf7f713da4fc797e2393a9e490ad4ec9466c53 ll_merge() takes its options in a flag word, which has a few advantages: - options flags can be cheaply passed around in registers, while an option struct passed by pointer cannot; - callers can easily pass 0 without trouble for no options, while an option struct passed by value would not allow that. The downside is that code to populate and access the flag word can be somewhat opaque. Mitigate that with a few macros.
