3240240ff4 Docs: Use "-l::\n--long\n" format in OPTIONS sections
The OPTIONS section of a documentation file contains a list
of the options a git command accepts.

Currently there are several variants to describe the case that
different options (almost) do the same in the OPTIONS section.

Some are:

 -f, --foo::
 -f|--foo::
 -f | --foo::

But AsciiDoc has the special form:

 -f::
 --foo::

This patch applies this form to the documentation of the whole git suite,
and removes useless em-dash prevention, so \--foo becomes --foo.

656482830d git-send-email: Generalize auto-cc recipient mechanism.
There are a few options to git-send-email to suppress the automatic
generation of 'Cc' fields: --suppress-from, and --signed-off-cc.
However, there are other times that git-send-email automatically
includes Cc'd recipients.  This is not desirable for all development
environments.

Add a new option --suppress-cc, which can be specified one or more
times to list the categories of auto-cc fields that should be
suppressed.  If not specified, it defaults to values to give the same
behavior as specified by --suppress-from, and --signed-off-cc.  The
categories are:

  self   - patch sender.  Same as --suppress-from.
  author - patch author.
  cc     - cc lines mentioned in the patch.
  cccmd  - avoid running the cccmd.
  sob    - signed off by lines.
  all    - all non-explicit recipients

2363d7467d git-send-email: ssh/login style password requests
Whilst convenient, it is most unwise to record passwords
in any place but one's brain. Moreover, it is especially
foolish to store them in configuration files, even with
access permissions set accordingly.

git-send-email has been amended, so that if it detects
an smtp username without a password, it promptly prompts
for the password and masks the input for privacy.

Furthermore, the argument to --smtp-pass has been rendered
optional.

The documentation has been updated to reflect these changes.

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:

@@ -149,7 +153,10 @@
 # Inline macros.
 # Backslash prefix required for escape processing.
 # (?s) re flag for line spanning.
-(?su)[\\]?(?P<name>\w(\w|-)*?):(?P<target>\S*?)(\[(?P<attrlist>.*?)\])=

 # Anchor: [[[id]]]. Bibliographic anchor.
 (?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.

You can use --smtp-server-port option to specify a port

34cc60ce2b send-email: Add support for SSL and SMTP-AUTH
Allows username and password to be given using --smtp-user
and --smtp-pass. SSL use is flagged by --smtp-ssl. These are
backed by corresponding defaults in the git configuration file.

This implements Junio's 'mail identity' suggestion in a slightly
more generalised manner. --identity=$identity, backed by
sendemail.identity indicates that the configuration subsection
[sendemail "$identity"] should take priority over the [sendemail]
section for all configuration values.

5483c71d7a git-send-email: make options easier to configure.
This change makes git-send-email's behavior easier to modify by adding config
equivalents for two more of git-send-email's flags.

The mapping of flag to config setting is:
  --[no-]supress-from => sendemail.suppressfrom
  --[no-]signed-off-cc => sendemail.signedoffcc

It renames the --threaded option to --thread/--no-thread; the
config variable is also called sendemail.thread.

79ee555bac Check and document the options to prevent mistakes.
When multiple recipients are given to git-send-email on the same
--cc line the code does not properly handle it.

Full and proper parsing of the email addresses so I can detect
which commas mean a new email address is more than I care to implement.

In particular this email address: "bibo,mao" <bibo.mao@intel.com>
must not be treated as two email addresses.

So this patch simply treats all commas in recipient lists as
an error and fails if one is given.

At the same time it documents that git-send-email wants multiple
instances of --cc specified on the command line if you want to
cc multiple recipients.

df8baa42fe [PATCH] Random documentation fixes
The fixes focuses on improving the HTML output. Most noteworthy:

 - Fix the Makefile to also make various *.html files depend on

 - Consistently use 'NOTE: ...' instead of '[ ... ]' for additional
   info.

 - Fix ending '::' for description lists in OPTION section etc.

 - Fix paragraphs in description lists ending up as preformated text.

 - Always use listingblocks (preformatted text wrapped in lines with -----)
   for examples that span empty lines, so they are put in only one HTML
   block.

 - Use '1.' instead of '(1)' for numbered lists.

 - Fix linking to other GIT docs.

 - git-rev-list.txt: put option descriptions in an OPTION section.

215a7ad1ef Big tool rename.
As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch.  The primary differences
since 0.99.6 are:

  (1) git-*-script are no more.  The commands installed do not
      have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if
      something is implemented as a shell script or not.

  (2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with
      'index' if that is what they mean.

There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and
Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward
compatibility support  is expected to be removed in the near
future.
