When formatted as a man page, 1st section header is always in upper
case even if we write it otherwise. Make all 1st section headers
uppercase to keep it close to the final output.
This does affect html since case is kept there, but I still think it's
a good idea to maintain a consistent style for 1st section headers.
Some sections perhaps should become second sections instead, where
case is kept, and for better organization. I will update if anyone has
suggestions about this.
While at there I also make some header more consistent (e.g. examples
vs example) and fix a couple minor things here and there.

Pathspecs can be a bit tricky when trying to apply them to submodules.
The main challenge is that the pathspecs will be with respect to the
superproject and not with respect to paths in the submodule. The
approach this patch takes is to pass in the identical pathspec from the
superproject to the submodule in addition to the submodule-prefix, which
is the path from the root of the superproject to the submodule, and then
we can compare an entry in the submodule prepended with the
submodule-prefix to the pathspec in order to determine if there is a
match.
This patch also permits the pathspec logic to perform a prefix match against
submodules since a pathspec could refer to a file inside of a submodule.
Due to limitations in the wildmatch logic, a prefix match is only done
literally. If any wildcard character is encountered we'll simply punt
and produce a false positive match. More accurate matching will be done
once inside the submodule. This is due to the superproject not knowing
what files could exist in the submodule.

Allow ls-files to recognize submodules in order to retrieve a list of
files from a repository's submodules. This is done by forking off a
process to recursively call ls-files on all submodules. Use top-level
--super-prefix option to pass a path to the submodule which it can
use to prepend to output or pathspec matching logic.

When working in a cross-platform environment, a user may want to
check if text files are stored normalized in the repository and
if .gitattributes are set appropriately.
Make it possible to let Git show the line endings in the index and
in the working tree and the effective text/eol attributes.
The end of line ("eolinfo") are shown like this:
"-text" binary (or with bare CR) file
"none" text file without any EOL
"lf" text file with LF
"crlf" text file with CRLF
"mixed" text file with mixed line endings.
The effective text/eol attribute is one of these:
"", "-text", "text", "text=auto", "text eol=lf", "text eol=crlf"
git ls-files --eol gives an output like this:
i/none w/none attr/text=auto t/t5100/empty
i/-text w/-text attr/-text t/test-binary-2.png
i/lf w/lf attr/text eol=lf t/t5100/rfc2047-info-0007
i/lf w/crlf attr/text eol=crlf doit.bat
i/mixed w/mixed attr/ locale/XX.po
to show what eol convention is used in the data in the index ('i'),
and in the working tree ('w'), and what attribute is in effect,
for each path that is shown.
Add test cases in t0027.

The point of these sections is generally to:
1. Give credit where it is due.
2. Give the reader an idea of where to ask questions or
file bug reports.
But they don't do a good job of either case. For (1), they
are out of date and incomplete. A much more accurate answer
can be gotten through shortlog or blame. For (2), the
correct contact point is generally git@vger, and even if you
wanted to cc the contact point, the out-of-date and
incomplete fields mean you're likely sending to somebody
useless.
So let's drop the fields entirely from all manpages except
git(1) itself. We already point people to the mailing list
for bug reports there, and we can update the Authors section
to give credit to the major contributors and point to
shortlog and blame for more information.
Each page has a "This is part of git" footer, so people can
follow that to the main git manpage.
Remove some stray usage of other bracket types and asterisks for the
same purpose.

For some reason, various manual pages have an asterisk escaped
with \ in the synopsis. Since there is no other asterisk to pair it
with, Asciidoc does not consider this asterisk escapable, so it passes
the backslash through.
Each page either uses [verse] or has only one asterisk, so it
is safe to drop the backslashes (checked with asciidoc 8.5.2).

users to superior alternatives.
The feature is marked as "semi-obsolete" but not "scheduled for removal"
since it's a plumbing command, scripts might use it, and Git testsuite
already uses it to test the state of the index.

Amazingly, a reference to 'show files' survived from the core command
documentation introduced in c64b9b8 (Reference documentation for the
core git commands., 2005-05-05)!

The documentation was quite inconsistent when spelling 'git cmd' if it
only refers to the program, not to some specific invocation syntax:
both 'git-cmd' and 'git cmd' spellings exist.
The current trend goes towards dashless forms, and there is precedent
in 647ac70 (git-svn.txt: stop using dash-form of commands.,
2009-07-07) to actively eliminate the dashed variants.
Replace 'git-cmd' with 'git cmd' throughout, except where git-shell,
git-cvsserver, git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack, and
git-upload-archive are concerned, because those really live in the
$PATH.
Commit b5227d8 changed the behavior of "ls-files" with
respect to includes, but accidentally broke the "-i" option
The original behavior was:
1. if no "-i" is given, cull all results according to --exclude*
2. if "-i" is given, show the inverse of (1)
The broken behavior was:
1. if no "-i" is given:
a. for "-o", cull results according to --exclude*
b. for index files, always show all
2. if "-i" is given:
a. for "-o", shows the inverse of (1a)
b. for index files, always show all
The fixed behavior keeps the new (1b) behavior introduced
by b5227d8, but fixes the (2b) behavior to show only ignored
files, not all files.
This patch also tweaks the documentation. The original text
was somewhat obscure in the first place, but it is also now
inaccurate (the relationship between (1b) and (2b) is not
quite a "reverse").

Since the git-* commands are not installed in $(bindir), using
"git-command <parameters>" in examples in the documentation is
not a good idea. On the other hand, it is nice to be able to
refer to each command using one hyphenated word. (There is no
escaping it, anyway: man page names cannot have spaces in them.)
This patch retains the dash in naming an operation, command,
program, process, or action. Complete command lines that can
be entered at a shell (i.e., without options omitted) are
made to use the dashless form.
The changes consist only of replacing some spaces with hyphens
and vice versa. After a "s/ /-/g", the unpatched and patched
versions are identical.

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.

Only git-ls-files(1) describes the gitignore format in detail, and it does so
with reference to git-ls-files options. Most users don't use the plumbing
command git-ls-files directly, and shouldn't have to look in its manpage for
information on the gitignore format.
Create a new manpage gitignore(5) (Documentation/gitignore.txt), and factor
out the gitignore documentation into that file, changing it to refer to
.gitignore and $GIT_DIR/info/exclude as used by porcelain commands. Reference
gitignore(5) from other relevant manpages and documentation. Remove
