2022-08-04docs: move pack format docs to man section 5Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-1/+1
Continue the move of existing Documentation/technical/* protocol and file-format documentation into our main documentation space by moving the various documentation pertaining to the *.pack format and related files, and updating things that refer to it to link to the new location. By moving these we can properly link from the newly created gitformat-commit-graph to a gitformat-chunk-format page. Integrating "Documentation/technical/bitmap-format.txt" and "Documentation/technical/cruft-packs.txt" might logically be part of this change, but as those cover parts of the wider "pack format" (including associated files) that's documented outside of "Documentation/technical/pack-format.txt" let's leave those for now, subsequent commit(s) will address those.

2015-04-01howto: document more tools for recovery corruptionJeff King1-0/+237
Long ago, I documented a corruption recovery I did and gave some C code that I used to help find a flipped bit. I had to fix a similar case recently, and I ended up writing a few more tools. I hope nobody ever has to use these, but it does not hurt to share them, just in case. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2014-11-04Documentation: typofixesThomas Ackermann1-2/+2
In addition to fixing trivial and obvious typos, be careful about the following points: - Spell ASCII, URL and CRC in ALL CAPS; - Spell Linux as Capitalized; - Do not omit periods in "i.e." and "e.g.".

2013-10-25howto: add article on recovering a corrupted objectJeff King1-0/+242
This is an asciidoc-ified version of a corruption post-mortem sent to the git list. It complements the existing howto article, since it covers a case where the object couldn't be easily recreated or copied from elsewhere.
