In revisions.txt, the '<rev>^' form is mentioned but the '<rev>~' form
is missing. Although both forms are essentially equivalent (they each
get the first parent of the specified revision), we should mention the
latter for completeness. Make this change.

In revisions.txt, an optional rev argument was not distinguised.
Instead, a user had to continue and read the description in order to
learn that the argument was optional.
Since the [] notation for an optional argument is common-knowledge in
the Git documentation, mark optional arguments with [] so that it's more
obvious for the reader.

In revisions.txt, there were some instances of a rev argument being
written as "rev". However, since they didn't mean the string literal,
write "<rev>", instead.

Mention that this feature works with some commands (merge and cherry-pick,
implying that it also works with commands that build on these like rebase
-m and rebase -i). Explicitly mentioning two commands hopefully implies
that it may not always work with other commands (am, and rebase without
flags that imply either -m or -i).
Also, since the directory rename detection from this cycle was
specifically added in merge-recursive and not diffcore-rename, remove the
'in "diff" family" phrase from the note. (Folks have requested in the
past that `git diff` detect directory renames and somehow simplify its
output, so it may be helpful to avoid implying that diff has any new
capability here.)

Add an option to the git-p4 submit command to disable syncing
with Perforce.
This is useful for the case where a git-p4 mirror has been setup
on a server somewhere, running from (e.g.) cron, and developers
then clone from this. Having the local cloned copy also sync
from Perforce just isn't useful.

This just lets you set the --disable-rebase option with the

On a daily work with multiple local git branches, the usual way to
submit only a specified commit was to cherry-pick the commit on
master then run git-p4 submit. It can be very annoying to switch
between local branches and master, only to submit one commit. The
proposed new way is to select directly the commit you want to
submit.
Add option --commit to command 'git-p4 submit' in order to submit
only specified commit(s) in p4.
On a daily work developping software with big compilation time, one
may not want to rebase on his local git tree, in order to avoid long
recompilation.
Add option --disable-rebase to command 'git-p4 submit' in order to
disable rebase after submission.

"git remote update" can take both a single remote nickname and a
nickname for remote groups, but only one of them was documented.
* nd/remote-update-doc:
remote: doc typofix
remote.txt: update documentation for 'update' command
The list of commands with their various attributes were spread
across a few places in the build procedure, but it now is getting a
bit more consolidated to allow more automation.
* nd/command-list:
completion: allow to customize the completable command list
completion: add and use --list-cmds=alias
completion: add and use --list-cmds=nohelpers
Move declaration for alias.c to alias.h
completion: reduce completable command list
completion: let git provide the completable command list
command-list.txt: documentation and guide line
help: use command-list.txt for the source of guides
help: add "-a --verbose" to list all commands with synopsis
git: support --list-cmds=list-<category>
completion: implement and use --list-cmds=main,others
git --list-cmds: collect command list in a string_list
git.c: convert --list-* to --list-cmds=*
Remove common-cmds.h
help: use command-list.h for common command list
generate-cmds.sh: export all commands to command-list.h
generate-cmds.sh: factor out synopsis extract code
For consistency, use backquotes when referring to environment
variables, as is done in other man pages.

In the 2.18 cycle, directory rename detection was merged, then reverted,
then reworked in such a way to fix another prominent bug in addition to
the original problem causing it to be reverted. When the reworked series
was merged, we ended up with two nearly duplicate release notes. Remove
the second copy, but preserve the information about the extra bug fix.

Use names instead of numbers for the AsciiDoc attributes that are used
for the footnotes. We will add more footnotes in subsequent commits,
and attributes should ideally all be unique. Having named attributes
will help ensure uniqueness, and we won't have to re-number the
attributes if we add a footnote earlier in the document.
In addition it also clarifies that the attribute name/number is not
related to the number the footnote will get in the output.
