1c262bb7b2 doc: convert \--option to --option
Older versions of AsciiDoc would convert the "--" in
"--option" into an emdash. According to 565e135
(Documentation: quote double-dash for AsciiDoc, 2011-06-29),
this is fixed in AsciiDoc 8.3.0. According to bf17126, we
don't support anything older than 8.4.1 anyway, so we no
longer need to worry about quoting.

Even though this does not change the output at all, there
are a few good reasons to drop the quoting:

  1. It makes the source prettier to read.

  2. We don't quote consistently, which may be confusing when
     reading the source.

  3. Asciidoctor does not like the quoting, and renders a
     literal backslash.

0a3ca9c011 doc/add: reformat --edit option
All of the other options in the list put short and long as
two separate headings.

We can also drop the backslashing of `--`. It isn't used
elsewhere and is unnecessary for modern asciidoc (plus it
confuses asciidoctor).

a367b8699d doc: fix length of underlined section-title
In AsciiDoc, it is OK to say:

   this is my title
   -------------------------

but AsciiDoctor is more strict. Let's match the underline to
the title (which also makes the source prettier to read).
The output from AsciiDoc is the same either way.

b50bfb8fd5 doc: fix unquoted use of "{type}"
Curly braces open an "attribute" in AsciiDoc; if there's no
such attribute, strange things may happen. In this case, the
unquoted "{type}" causes AsciiDoc to omit an entire line of
text from the output. We can fix it by putting the whole
phrase inside literal backticks (which also lets us get rid
of ugly backslash escaping).

e08bc7a9ec doc: fix misrendering due to `single quote'
AsciiDoc misparses some text that contains a `literal`
word followed by a fancy `single quote' word, and treats
everything from the start of the literal to the end of the
quote as a single-quoted phrase.

We can work around this by switching the latter to be a
literal, as well. In the first case, this is perhaps what
was intended anyway, as it makes us consistent with the the
earlier literals in the same paragraph. In the second, the
output is arguably better, as we will format our commit
references as <code> blocks.

f6e6362107 parse_date_basic(): let the system handle DST conversion
The function parses the input to compute the broken-down time in
"struct tm", and the GMT timezone offset.  If the timezone offset
does not exist in the input, the broken-down time is turned into the
number of seconds since epoch both in the current timezone and in
GMT and the offset is computed as their difference.

However, we forgot to make sure tm.tm_isdst is set to -1 (i.e. let
the system figure out if DST is in effect in the current timezone
when turning the broken-down time to the number of seconds since
epoch); it is done so at the beginning of the function, but a call
to match_digit() in the function can lead to a call to gmtime_r() to
clobber the field.

Ignore an extra ':' at the end of the hostname in URL's like

The colon is meant to separate a port number from the hostname.
If the port is empty, the colon should be ignored, see RFC 3986.

broken in 86ceb3, "allow ssh://user@[2001:db8::1]/repo.git"

8d00662d7d diff-highlight: do not split multibyte characters
When the input is UTF-8 and Perl is operating on bytes instead of
characters, a diff that changes one multibyte character to another
that shares an initial byte sequence will result in a broken diff
display as the common byte sequence prefix will be separated from
the rest of the bytes in the multibyte character.

For example, if a single line contains only the unicode character
U+C9C4 (encoded as UTF-8 0xEC, 0xA7, 0x84) and that line is then
changed to the unicode character U+C9C0 (encoded as UTF-8 0xEC,
0xA7, 0x80), when operating on bytes diff-highlight will show only
the single byte change from 0x84 to 0x80 thus creating invalid UTF-8
and a broken diff display.

Fix this by putting Perl into character mode when splitting the line
and then back into byte mode after the split is finished.

The utf8::xxx functions require Perl 5.8 so we require that as well.

Also, since we are mucking with code in the split_line function, we
change a '*' quantifier to a '+' quantifier when matching the $COLOR
expression which has the side effect of speeding everything up while
eliminating useless '' elements in the returned array.

9585cb8d96 fast-import doc: remove suggested 16-parent limit
Merges with an absurd number of parents are still a bad idea because
they do not render well in tools like gitk, but if they are present
in the repository being imported into git then there's no need to
avoid reproducing them faithfully.

In olden times, before v1.6.0-rc0~194 (2008-06-27), git commit-tree
and higher-level tools built on top of it were limited to writing 16
parents for a commit.  Nowadays normal git operations are happy to
write more parents when asked, so the motivation for this note in the
fast-import documentation is gone and we can remove it.

Ignoring a merge can be read as ignoring the changes a merge commit
introduces altogether, as if the entire side branch the merge commit
merged was removed from the history.  But that is not what happens
if "-p" is not specified.  What happens is that the individual
commits a merge commit introduces are replayed in order, and only
any possible merge conflict resolutions or manual amendments to the
merge commit are ignored.

Get this straight in the docs.

Also, do not say that merge commits are *tried* to be recreated. As that is
