For example:

will create two messages with files 1 and 2 attached respectively.
Without --attach/--inline but with --stdout, --numbered-files option
can be simply ignored, because we are not creating any file ourselves.

The existing text was very vague about what exactly it means
for difference to "contain" a change. This seems to cause
confusion on the mailing list every month or two.
To fix it we:
1. use "introduce or remove an instance of" instead of
"contain"
2. point the user to gitdiffcore(7), which contains a more
complete explanation

If literal text (asciidoc `...`) can be rendered in a differently from
normal text for each output format (man, HTML), then we do not need
extra quotes or other wrapping around inline literal text segments.
config.txt
Change '`...`' to `...`. In asciidoc, the single quotes provide
emphasis, literal text should be distintive enough.
Change "`...`" to `...`. These double quotes do not work if present
in the described config value, so drop them.
git-checkout.txt
Change "`...`" to `...` or `"..."`. All instances are command line
argument examples. One "`-`" becomes `-`. Two others are involve
curly braces, so move the double quotes inside the literal region to
indicate that they might need to be quoted on the command line of
certain shells (tcsh).
git-merge.txt
Change "`...`" to `...`. All instances are used to describe merge
conflict markers. The quotes should are not important.
git-rev-parse.txt
Change "`...`" to `...`. All instances are around command line
arguments where no in-shell quoting should be necessary.
gitcli.txt
Change `"..."` to `...`. All instances are around command line
examples or single command arguments. They do not semanticly belong
inside the literal text, and they are not needed outside it.
glossary-content.txt
user-manual.txt
Change "`...`" to `...`. All instances were around command lines.

Rearrange the example usage of
git filter-branch --index-filter 'git rm --cached ...'
so that --ignore-unmatch is in the main example block. People keep
stumbling over the (lack of this) option to the point where it is a
FAQ, so we would want to expose the most common usage where it stands
out.

As suggested by Junio, disallow the flags PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN and
PARSE_OPT_STOP_AT_NON_OPTION to be turned on at the same time, as a
value of an unknown option could be mistakenly classified as a
non-option, stopping the parser early. E.g.:
git cmd --known --unknown value arg0 arg1
The parser should have stopped at "arg0", but it already stops at
"value".
This patch makes parse_options() die if the two flags are used in
combination.

Add the config variable color.grep.external, which can be used to
switch on coloring of external greps. To enable auto coloring with
GNU grep, one needs to set color.grep.external to --color=always to
defeat the pager started by git grep. The value of the config
variable will be passed to the external grep only if it would
colorize internal grep's output, so automatic terminal detected
works. The default is to not pass any option, because the external
grep command could be a program without color support.
Also set the environment variables GREP_COLOR and GREP_COLORS to
pass the configured color for matches to the external grep. This
works with GNU grep; other variables could be added as needed.

Coloring matches makes them easier to spot in the output.
Add two options and two parameters: color.grep (to turn coloring on
or off), color.grep.match (to set the color of matches), --color
and --no-color (to turn coloring on or off, respectively).
The output of external greps is not changed.
This patch is based on earlier ones by Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy and
Thiago Alves.

Add the following:
- git config value blame.date that expects one of the git log date
formats (e.g. relative,local,default,iso,...);
- git blame command line option --date expects one of the git
log date formats;
- documentation in blame-options.txt;
- git blame uses the appropriate date.c functions and enums to
make sense of the date format and provide appropriate data;
git blame continues to line up the output columns by padding the date
column up to the max width of the chosen date format.
The date format for git blame without both blame.date and --date continues
to be ISO for backwards compatibility.
git annotate ignores the date format specifiers and continues to uses the
ISO format, as before.
