The git-cvsserver script is old and largely unmaintained
these days. But git-shell allows untrusted users to run it
out of the box, significantly increasing its attack surface.
Let's drop it from git-shell's list of internal handlers so
that it cannot be run by default. This is not backwards
compatible. But given the age and development activity on
CVS-related parts of Git, this is likely to impact very few
users, while helping many more (i.e., anybody who runs
git-shell and had no intention of supporting CVS).
There's no configuration mechanism in git-shell for us to
add a boolean and flip it to "off". But there is a mechanism
for adding custom commands, and adding CVS support here is
fairly trivial. Let's document it to give guidance to
anybody who really is still running cvsserver.

With the introduction of the $GIT_COMMON_DIR variable, the
repository layout manual was changed to reflect the location for
many files in case the variable is set. While adding the new
locations, one typo snuck in regarding the location of the
'info/' folder, which is falsely claimed to reside at
"$GIT_COMMON_DIR/index".
Fix the typo to point to "$GIT_COMMON_DIR/info/" instead.

The rebase.instructionFormat option is missing its "::" to
tell AsciiDoc that it's a list entry. As a result, the
option name gets lumped into the description in one big
paragraph.

Some AsciiDoc formatter mishandles a displayed illustration with
tabs in it. Adjust a few of them in merge-base documentation to
work around them.

Recent git allows submodule.<name>.branch to use a special token
"." instead of the branch name; the documentation has been updated
to describe it.
* bw/submodule-branch-dot-doc:
submodules doc: update documentation for "." used for submodule branches
The "submodule.<name>.path" stored in .gitmodules is never copied
to .git/config and such a key in .git/config has no meaning, but
the documentation described it and submodule.<name>.url next to
each other as if both belong to .git/config. This has been fixed.
* sb/submodule-config-doc-drop-path:
documentation: improve submodule.<name>.{url, path} description
Documentation for "git commit" was updated to clarify that "commit
-p <paths>" adds to the current contents of the index to come up
with what to commit.
* nd/commit-p-doc:

The asciidoctor doc-tool stack does not always respect the 'tab = 8 spaces' rule
expectation, particularly for the Git-for-Windows generated html pages. This
follows on from the 'doc: fix merge-base ASCII art tab spacing' fix.
Use just spaces within the block of the ascii art.
All other *.txt ascii art containing three dashes has been checked.
Asciidoctor correctly formats the other art blocks that do contain tabs.

2016-08-03) adopted from Gerrit a feature to set "." as a special

that the tracking branch in the submodule should be the same as the
current branch in the superproject.

Unlike the url variable a user cannot override the the path variable,
as it is part of the content together with the gitlink at the given
path. To avoid confusion do not mention the .path variable in the config
section and rely on the documentation provided in gitmodules[5].
Enhance the description of submodule.<name>.url and mention its two use
cases separately.

How pathspec is used, with and without --interactive/--patch, is
different. But this is not clear from the document. These changes hint
the user to keep reading (to option #5) instead of stopping at #2 and
assuming --patch/--interactive behaves the same way.
And since all the options listed here always mention how the index is
involved (or not) in the final commit, add that bit for #5 as well. This
"on top of the index" is implied when you head over git-add(1), but if
you just go straight to the "Interactive mode" and not read what git-add
is for, you may miss it.
