+# gitlog.sty -- Typeset git logs as bibliographies
+
+The *gitlog* package allows git change log history to be incorporated into LaTeX documents; the log data is obtained from the git distributed version control system.
+
+The current release (0.0.beta) is a proof-of-concept release to allow users an early evaluation and to attract ideas and support.
+
+Requests and suggestions, as well as code contributions are welcome, via email, or as issues or pull requests on either Github or Bitbucket. The repository URLs are:
+
+* https://github.com/Hightor/gitlog/tree/develop
+* https://bitbucket.org/brentl/gitlog/commits/branch/develop
+
+### Licencing
+
+Copyright 2015 Brent Longborough. *gitlog* is licenced under the LPPL. For more details, please see the accompanying manual: gitlog.pdf.
+
+### Change History
+
+Current Release: 0.0.beta 2015-11-22. Probably not suitable for high-quality production environments!
+
+Please see gitlog.pdf in the package documentation directory for release history and a full changelog.
+
+This work consists of these files:
+
+ gitlog.sty, gitlog.bbx, gitlog.dbx,

+\chapter{Introduction}
+The \git{} distributed version control system
+maintains an historical log of update activity.
+The \tpname{} package provides a way automatically
+to typeset such a log, optionally linking commits
+from the typeset log
+to one of the online \textsc{dvcs} hosting services.
+

+\section{Limitations}
+
+The current release (\gitRel)
+is intended only as a \emph{proof-of-concept},
+and should not be used for production-level work
+unless you're happy with these limitations:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Formatting maliciously-coded documents
+\textbf{\emph{can cause arbitrary files to be overwritten.}}
+Although this problem is easy to avoid
+(and requires the \sfit{--shell-escape} command line option),
+there are no built-in protections.
+\item The \git\ change log is built and formatted using the
+facilities of \sfit{biblatex} and \sfit{biber}.
+The way this is currently implemented makes it unlikely that
+documents using \tpname\ can contain `normal' bibliographies.
+\item New lines in the \git\ change log commit messages are
+simply converted to spaces.
+The result is pretty ugly,
+unless you've had the foresight
+to punctuate your commit messages nicely.
+\end{itemize}
+
+\noindent
+That said, I think \tpname\ will still be useful to a subset of \TeX\ users,
+and I welcome suggestions and contributed code via email or Github, where the url is
+\url{https://github.com/Hightor/gitlog/issues}.
+
+
+% - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
+\section{How \tpname\ works}
+\begin{enumerate}
+\item The package uses a git command internally, via the \tcmd{write18} command,
+to write out the change log in the shape of a rather strange
+\sfit{.bib} file
+
+\item The change log .bib file contains a series of items of type \sfit{gitcommit},
+defined and formatted by the \tpname\
+data model and bibliography styles which accompany the package.
+
+\item The rest of the work is done by persuading \sfit{biblatex} and \sfit{biber}
+to treat this data as a bibliography.
+
+\item Optionally, you can generate your own `change log bibliography',
+using this command (joined up into a single line):\\[\baselineskip]
+{\ttfamily
+git --no-pager log --reverse --date=short\\
+--pretty="format:@gitcommit\{\%h,\%n author = \{\%an\},\%n\\
+date = \{\%ad\}, \%n title = \{\%B\}, \%n commithash = \{\%H\}\\
+\}" > \textit{filename}
+}
+
+\end{enumerate}
+
+% -----------------------------------------------------
+\chapter{Using the package}
+\label{ch:using}
+To collect and typeset \git{} history,
+you load the \tpname\ package in the usual way:\\[0.5\baselineskip]
+\texttt{\textbackslash usepackage[$<options>$]\{gitlog\}}
+
+% - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
+\section{Package options}
+
+The following options are available:
+
+\subsection{General options}
+
+\begin{description}
+
+\item[\texttt{title=\textit{log title}}]
+This option allows you to change the chapter title associated with
+the typeset change log.
+The default is `Change Log'.
+
+\item[\texttt{date}, \texttt{nodate}]
+These complementary options
+allow you to specify whether or not you want
+the author date and name to be added to the change log.
+The default is \texttt{nodate}.
+
+
+\end{description}
+
+\subsection{Options for controlling the .bib file}
+
+\begin{description}
+
+\item[\texttt{write}, \texttt{nowrite}]
+These complementary options
+allow you to specify whether or not you want
+\tpname\ to generate the special change log (\sfit{.bib})
+for you.
+
+If you specify \texttt{write}, then \tpname\ will regenerate the
+change log every time the document is formatted.
+Note that this option is implemented with the \tcmd{write18} command,
+and requires that your document be processed with the \TeX option
+\texttt{--shell-escape}.
+
+If you specify \texttt{nowrite}, then \tpname\ will not write anything,
+and the \texttt{--shell-escape} option is not required.
+However, in this case,
+you are responsible for generating the change log
+in the correct format for \tpname\ to use,
+as well as being able to hand-tailor it.
+
+If neither option is specified, the default depends on whether or not
+you use the \sfit{bibfile} option, described next.
+
+\clearpage
+\item[\texttt{bibfile=\textit{filename}}]
+The \git\ change log data is kept in
+a file in \sfit{biblatex .bib} format,
+which \tpname\ writes (if requested) and then reads
+to format the change log.
+
+If this option is not specified, then a default filename
+is used:
+\textit{<jobname>}\texttt{.gitlog.bib}.
+In this case, the default option \sfit{write} is used,
+but can be suppressed by specifying \texttt{nowrite}.
+
+This can be overridden by specifying your own choice
+of filename using this option.
+In this case, the default option \sfit{nowrite} is used,
+but you can force \tpname\ to write to your file
+by specifying \texttt{write}.
+
+\dark{Warning:} there is \emph{no} protection against writing
+to any file name whatsoever.
+The default settings are reasonably `safe';
+where you need to ship the document without its repository,
+then
+\begin{quote}
+{\ttfamily
+[write,bibfile=\jobname.local.bib]
+}
+\end{quote}
+is probably a safe set of options to use.
+
+\end{description}
+
+\subsection{Options for linking to on-line services}
+
+The change log typeset by \tpname\ can include links
+connecting each commit to its corresponding page
+in either the GitHub or the Atlassian Bitbucket
+online repository services.
+(Trade marks of their respective owners.)
+
+To use this feature, you must load the \sfit{hyperref} package
+before loading \tpname, and use one of the following,
+mutually exclusive, options.
+
+\begin{description}
+
+\item[\texttt{github=\textit{repository-path}}]
+When each commit in the changelog is typeset,
+a link is generated to the corresponding page on GitHub,
+with a \textsc{url} in this format:
+\begin{quote}
+{\ttfamily\small
+https://github.com/{\rmfamily\itshape repository-path}/commit/{\rmfamily\itshape commit-hash}
+}
+\end{quote}
+
+\item[\texttt{bitbucket=\textit{repository-path}}]
+When each commit in the changelog is typeset,
+a link is generated to the corresponding page on Atlassian Bitbucket,
+with a \textsc{url} in this format:
+\begin{quote}
+{\ttfamily\small
+https://bitbucket.org/{\rmfamily\itshape repository-path}/commits/{\rmfamily\itshape commit-hash}
+}
+\end{quote}
+
+\end{description}
+
+\section{Typesetting the change log}
+
+The command \tcmd{printGitLog}
+typesets the change log, as a new chapter containing a pseudo-bibliography,
+at that point in the document.
+At the moment, there are very few options to allow you to tailor the typography.
+
+A sample change log can be seen at the end of this manual.

+Initial beta release
+
+\section{Acknowledgements}
+
+The \href{http://tex.stackexchange.com}{\TeX.SE community}
+has been a constant source of help, inspiration, and amazement.
+
+I'd also like to register my thanks to the owners of the packages and tools
+on which \tpname\ depends:
+biblatex, etoolbox, hyperref, and kvoptions,
+and also to
+\href{http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/35864/moewe}{moewe at \TeX.SE} for
+invaluable help during my ongoing stumblings with \sfit{biblatex}.
+
+We all depend heavily on the constant hard work
+so unstintingly given to the community by the Guardians of CTAN.
+Thank you all.
+
+The failings, of course, I claim for myself.
