As the "git" man page describes the "git" command at the end-user
level, it seems better to move it to man section 1.

Asciidoc configuration:

# Inline macros.

# (?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.

Customize diff-options depending on particular command as follows,
mostly to make git-diff and git-format-patch manuals less confusing:
* git-format-patch:
- Mark --patch-with-stat as being the default.
- Change -p description so that it matches what it actually does and
so that it doesn't refer to absent "section on generating
patches".
* git-diff: mark -p as being the default.
* git-diff-index/git-diff-files/git-diff-tree: mark --raw as being
the default.

git-diff.txt includes diff-options.txt which for the -p option refers
to a section "generating patches.." which is missing from the git-diff
documentation. This patch adapts diff-format.txt to additionally
mention the git-diff program, and includes diff-format.txt into
git-diff.txt.

As pointed out by Linus, these notations require the endpoints
given by the end user to be commits. Clarify.
Also, three-dots in AsciiDoc are turned into ellipses unless

This uses "git-apply --whitespace=strip" to fix whitespace errors that have
crept in to our source files over time. There are a few files that need
to have trailing whitespaces (most notably, test vectors). The results
still passes the test, and build result in Documentation/ area is unchanged.

Most of the git-diff-* documentation used [<common diff options>]
instead of [--diff-options], so make that change in git-diff and
git-format-patch.
In addition, git-format-patch didn't include the meanings of the diff
options.

With this flag and given two paths, git-diff-files behaves as a GNU diff
lookalike (plus the git goodies like --check, colour, etc.). This flag
is also available in git-diff. It also works outside of a git repository.
In addition, if git-diff{,-files} is called without revision or stage
parameter, and with exactly two paths at least one of which is not tracked,
the default is --no-index.
So, you can now say
git diff /etc/inittab /etc/fstab
and it actually works!
This also unifies the duplicated argument parsing between cmd_diff_files()
and builtin_diff_files().

The revision specification syntax (sometimes referred to as

This corrects minor remaining bits that still talked about <tree-ish>;
the Porcelain users (as opposed to plumbers) are mostly interested in
commits so use <commit> consistently and keep a sentence that mentions
that <tree-ish> can be used in place of them.
Two of the cases has "[--] [<path>...]" and two had "-- [<path>...]".
Not terribly consistent and potentially confusing. Also add "[--]" to
the synopsis so that it's obvious you can use it from the very
beginning.

Porcelain documentation should talk in terms of end-user workflow, not
in terms of implementation details. Do not suggest update-index, but
git-add instead. Explain differences among 0-, 1- and 2-tree cases
not as differences of number of trees given to the command, but say
why user would want to give these number of trees to the command in
what situation.

This reverts commit 4c81c213a4.
Although --cached and --index are confusing wording, the use of
word --cached for git-diff is consistent with git-apply. It means
"work with index without looking at the working tree".
We should probably come up with better wording for --cached, if
somebody wants to deprecate it. But making --index and --cached
synonyms for diff while leaving them mean different things for
apply is no good.
'git diff --cached' still works, but its use is discouraged
in the documentation. 'git diff --index' does the same thing
and is consistent with how 'git apply --index' works.

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.
