Since 8c02eee (git-rev-list(1): group options; reformat; document more
options, 2006-09-01), git-rev-list documentation talks as if it supports
any kind of diff output. It doesn't.

The --full-history traversal keeps all merges in addition to non-merge
commits that touch paths in the given pathspec. This is useful to view
both sides of a merge in a topology like this:
A---M---o
/ /
---O---B
even when A and B makes identical change to the given paths. The revision
traversal without --full-history aims to come up with the simplest history
to explain the final state of the tree, and one of the side branches can
be pruned away.
The behaviour to keep all merges however is inconvenient if neither A nor
B touches the paths we are interested in. --full-history reduces the
topology to:
---O---M---o
in such a case, without removing M.
This adds a post processing phase on top of --full-history traversal to
remove needless merges from the resulting history.
The idea is to compute, for each commit in the "full history" result set,
the commit that should replace it in the simplified history. The commit
to replace it in the final history is determined as follows:
* In any case, we first figure out the replacement commits of parents of
the commit we are looking at. The commit we are looking at is
rewritten as if the replacement commits of its original parents are its
parents. While doing so, we reduce the redundant parents from the
rewritten parent list by not just removing the identical ones, but also
removing a parent that is an ancestor of another parent.
* After the above parent simplification, if the commit is a root commit,
an UNINTERESTING commit, a merge commit, or modifies the paths we are
interested in, then the replacement commit of the commit is itself. In
other words, such a commit is not dropped from the final result.
The first point above essentially means that the history is rewritten in
the bottom up direction. We can rewrite the parent list of a commit only
after we know how all of its parents are rewritten. This means that the
processing needs to happen on the full history (i.e. after limit_list()).

The OPTIONS section of a documentation file contains a list
of the options a git command accepts.
Currently there are several variants to describe the case that
different options (almost) do the same in the OPTIONS section.
Some are:
-f, --foo::
-f|--foo::
-f | --foo::
But AsciiDoc has the special form:
-f::
--foo::
This patch applies this form to the documentation of the whole git suite,
and removes useless em-dash prevention, so \--foo becomes --foo.

The log family and git-rev-list share the same set of options that come
from revision walking machinery, but they both have options unique to
them. Notably, --header, --timestamp, --stdin and --quiet apply only to
rev-list. Exclude them from the git-log documentation.
