The --stringparam option is not available on older xmlto versions.
Instead, set man.base.url.for.relative.links via a .xsl file.  Older
docbook versions will ignore this without causing grief to users of

59a0a0bd57 Documentation: xmlto 0.0.18 does not know --stringparam
Newer DocBook stylesheets want man.base.url.for.relative.links
parameter set when formatting manpages with external references
to turn them into full URLs, and leave a helpful "you should
set this parameter" message in the output.  Earlier we added
the MAN_BASE_URL make variable to specify the value for it.

When MAN_BASE_URL is not given, it ought to be safe to set the
parameter to empty; it would result in an empty leading path for
older stylesheets that ignore the parameter, and newer ones
would produce the same "relative URL" without the message.

Unfortunately, older xmlto (at least version 0.0.18 released in
early 2004 that comes with RHEL/CentOS 5) does not understand
the --stringparam command line option, so we cannot add the
parameter definition unconditionally to the command line.  Work
it around by passing the parameter only when set.

If you do not have a suitable URL prefix, you can pass a quoted empty
string to it, like so:

    $ make MAN_BASE_URL='""'

4f36627518 pack-objects: split implications of --all-progress from progress activation
Currently the --all-progress flag is used to use force progress display
during the writing object phase even if output goes to stdout which is
primarily the case during a push operation.  This has the unfortunate
side effect of forcing progress display even if stderr is not a
terminal.

Let's introduce the --all-progress-implied argument which has the same
intent except for actually forcing the activation of any progress
display.  With this, progress display will be automatically inhibited
whenever stderr is not a terminal, or full progress display will be
included otherwise.  This should let people use 'git push' within a cron
job without filling their logs with useless percentage displays.

commited Vs uncommited changes, we also make it clear that the result of

382e543122 Add branch management for releases to gitworkflows
The current man page does a reasonable job at describing branch management
during the development process, but it does not contain any guidance as to
how the branches are affected by releases.

Add a basic introduction to the branch management undertaken during a
git.git release, so that a reader may gain some insight into how the
integration, maintenance, and topic branches are affected during the
release transition, and is thus able to better design the process for their
own project.

Other release activities such as reviews, testing, and creating
distributions are currently out of scope.

df2a79f422 expand_user_path: expand ~ to $HOME, not to the actual homedir.
In 395de250d (Expand ~ and ~user in core.excludesfile, commit.template),
we introduced the mechanism. But expanding ~ using getpw is not what
people overriding $HOME would usually expect. In particular, git looks
for the user's .gitconfig using $HOME, so it's better to be consistent.

500348aa68 ls-files: unbreak "ls-files -i"
Commit b5227d8 changed the behavior of "ls-files" with
respect to includes, but accidentally broke the "-i" option
The original behavior was:

  1. if no "-i" is given, cull all results according to --exclude*
  2. if "-i" is given, show the inverse of (1)

The broken behavior was:

  1. if no "-i" is given:
     a. for "-o", cull results according to --exclude*
     b. for index files, always show all
  2. if "-i" is given:
     a. for "-o", shows the inverse of (1a)
     b. for index files, always show all

The fixed behavior keeps the new (1b) behavior introduced
by b5227d8, but fixes the (2b) behavior to show only ignored
files, not all files.

This patch also tweaks the documentation. The original text
was somewhat obscure in the first place, but it is also now
inaccurate (the relationship between (1b) and (2b) is not
quite a "reverse").

204d363f5a Quote ' as \(aq in manpages
The docbook/xmlto toolchain insists on quoting ' as \'.  This does
achieve the quoting goal, but modern 'man' implementations turn the
apostrophe into a unicode "proper" apostrophe (given the right
circumstances), breaking code examples in many of our manpages.

Quote them as \(aq instead, which is an "apostrophe quote" as per the
groff_char manpage.

Unfortunately, as Anders Kaseorg kindly pointed out, this is not
portable beyond groff, so we add an extra Makefile variable GNU_ROFF
which you need to enable to get the new quoting.

Thanks also to Miklos Vajna for documentation.
