47ee06f122 Document the color.interactive semantics
There are two possible confusions with the color.interactive
description:

  1. the short name "interactive" implies that it covers all
     interactive commands; let's explicitly make it so, even
     though there are no other interactive commands which
     currently use it

  2. Not all parts of "git add --interactive" are controlled
     by color.interactive (specifically, the diffs require
     tweaking color.diff). So let's clarify that it applies
     only to displays and prompts.

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*?)(\[(?P<attrlist>.*?)\])=

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.

b4c61ed6d3 Color support for "git-add -i"
This is mostly lifted from earlier series by Dan Zwell, but updated to
use "git config --get-color" and "git config --get-colorbool" to make it
simpler and more consistent with commands written in C.

A new configuration color.interactive variable is like color.diff and
color.status, and controls if "git-add -i" uses color.

A set of configuration variables, color.interactive.<slot>, are used to
define what color is used for the prompt, header, and help text.

For perl scripts, Git.pm provides $repo->get_color() method, which takes
the slot name and the default color, and returns the terminal escape
sequence to color the output text.  $repo->get_colorbool() method can be
used to check if color is set to be used for a given operation.

cd67e4d46b Teach 'git pull' about --rebase
When calling 'git pull' with the '--rebase' option, it performs a
fetch + rebase instead of a fetch + merge.

This behavior is more desirable than fetch + pull when a topic branch
is ready to be submitted and needs to be update.

fetch + rebase might also be considered a better workflow with shared
repositories in any case, or for contributors to a centrally managed
repository, such as WINE's.

As a convenience, you can set the default behavior for a branch by
defining the config variable branch.<name>.rebase, which is
interpreted as a bool.  This setting can be overridden on the command
line by --rebase and --no-rebase.

4d00bda2aa make the pack index version configurable
It is a good idea to use pack index version 2 all the time since it has
proper protection against propagation of certain pack corruptions when
repacking which is not possible with index version 1, as demonstrated
in test t5302.

Hence this config option.

The default is still pack index version 1.

b888d61c83 Make fetch a builtin
Thanks to Johannes Schindelin for review and fixes, and Julian
Phillips for the original C translation.

This changes a few small bits of behavior:

branch.<name>.merge is parsed as if it were the lhs of a fetch
refspec, and does not have to exactly match the actual lhs of a
refspec, so long as it is a valid abbreviation for the same ref.

branch.<name>.merge is no longer ignored if the remote is configured
with a branches/* file. Neither behavior is useful, because there can
only be one ref that gets fetched, but this is more consistant.

Also, fetch prints different information to standard out.

aecbf914c4 git-diff: resurrect the traditional empty "diff --git" behaviour
The warning message to suggest "Consider running git-status" from
"git-diff" that we experimented with during the 1.5.3 cycle turns
out to be a bad idea.  It robbed cache-dirty information from people
who valued it, while still asking users to run "update-index --refresh".
It was hoped that the new behaviour would at least have some educational
value, but not showing the cache-dirty paths like before meant that the
user would not even know easily which paths were cache-dirty, and it
made the need to refresh the index look like even more unnecessary chore.

This commit reinstates the traditional behaviour, but with a twist.

By default, the empty "diff --git" output is totally squelched out
from "git diff" output.  At the end of the command, it automatically
runs "update-index --refresh" as needed, without even bothering the
user.  In other words, people who do not care about the cache-dirtyness
do not even have to see the warning.

The traditional behaviour to see the stat-dirty output and to bypassing
the overhead of content comparison can be specified by setting the
configuration variable diff.autorefreshindex to false.
