5162e69732 Documentation: rename gitlink macro to linkgit
Between AsciiDoc 8.2.2 and 8.2.3, the following change was made to the stock
Asciidoc configuration:

 # Inline macros.
 # Backslash prefix required for escape processing.
 # (?s) re flag for line spanning.

 (?su)[\\]?\[\[\[(?P<attrlist>[\w][\w-]*?)\]\]\]=anchor3
 # Anchor: [[id,xreflabel]]

This default regex now matches explicit values, and unfortunately in this
case gitlink was being matched by just 'link', causing the wrong inline
macro template to be applied. By renaming the macro, we can avoid being
matched by the wrong regex.

226bccb9ad cvsserver: Actually implement --export-all
Embarrassing bug number two in my options patch.

Also enforce that --export-all is only ever used together with an
explicit whitelist. Otherwise people might export every git repository
on the whole system without realising.

693b63273e cvsserver: Add some useful commandline options
Make git-cvsserver understand some options inspired by
git-daemon, namely --base-path, --export-all, --strict-paths.

Also allow the caller to specify a whitelist of allowed
directories, again similar to git-daemon.

While already adding option parsing also support the common
--help and --version options.

Rationale:

While the gitcvs.enabled configuration option already
offers means to limit git-cvsserver access to a repository,
there are some use cases where other methods of access
control prove to be more useful.

E.g. if setting up a pserver for a collection of public
repositories one might want limit the exported repositories
to exactly the directory this collection is located whithout
having to worry about other repositories that might lie around
with the configuration variable set (never trust your users ;)

548428954a cvsserver: Note that CVS_SERVER can also be specified as method variable
Reasonably new versions of the cvs CLI client allow one to
specifiy CVS_SERVER as a method variable directly in
CVSROOT. This is way more convinient than using an
environment variable since it gets saved in CVS/Root.

Since I only discovered this by accident I guess there
might be others out there that learnt CVS on the 1.11
series (or even earlier) and profit from such a note
about cvs improvements in the last couple years.

893c365aba cvsserver: Correct inetd.conf example in asciidoc documentation
While the given example worked, it made us look rather
incompetent. Give the correct reason why one needs the
more complex syntax and change the example to reflect
that.

b2475703d8 cvsserver: Document the GIT branches -> CVS modules mapping more prominently
Add a note about the branches -> modules mapping to LIMITATIONS because
I really think it should be noted there and not just at the end of
the installation step-by-step HOWTO.

I used "git branches" there and changed "heads" to "branches" in
my section about database configuration. I'm reluctant to replace
all occourences of "head" with "branch" though because you always
have to say "git branch" because CVS also has the concept of
branches. You can say "head" though, because there is no such
concept in CVS. In all the existing occourences of head other than
the one I changed I think "head" flows better in the text.

d8b6a1a10b cvsserver: Don't lie about binary mode in asciidoc documentation
The git-cvsserver documentation claims that the server will set
-k modes if appropriate which is not really the case. On the other
hand the available gitcvs.allbinary variable is not documented at
all. Fix both these issues by rewording the related paragraph.

3fda8c4cc7 Introducing git-cvsserver -- a CVS emulator for git.
git-cvsserver is highly functional. However, not all methods are implemented,
and for those methods that are implemented, not all switches are implemented.
All the common read operations are implemented, and add/remove/commit are
supported.

Testing has been done using both the CLI CVS client, and the Eclipse CVS
plugin. Most functionality works fine with both of these clients.

Currently git-cvsserver only works over SSH connections, see the
Documentation for more details on how to configure your client. It
does not support pserver for anonymous access but it should not be
hard to implement. Anonymous access will need tighter input validation.

In our very informal tests, it seems to be significantly faster than a real
CVS server.

This utility depends on a version of git-cvsannotate that supports -S and on
DBD::SQLite.
