761e742d69 Documentation: move RelNotes into a directory of their own
There are 108 of them already.  That's a bit more than one third of
all the files in the Documentation directory already, and still growing.

7e42332e47 install-webdoc: filter timestamp-only changes correctly
The timestamp that follows "Last updated " is formatted differently
depending on the version of AsciiDoc.  Looking at 4604fe56 on "html"
branch, you can see that AsciiDoc 7.0.2 used to give "02-Jul-2008 03:02:14
UTC" but AsciiDoc 8.2.5 gave "2008-09-19 06:33:25 UTC".  We haven't been
correctly filtering out phantom changes that result from only the build
date for some time now, it seems.

Just filter lines that begin with "Last updated ".

f506b8e8b5 git log/diff: add -G<regexp> that greps in the patch text
Teach "-G<regexp>" that is similar to "-S<regexp> --pickaxe-regexp" to the
"git diff" family of commands.  This limits the diff queue to filepairs
whose patch text actually has an added or a deleted line that matches the
given regexp.  Unlike "-S<regexp>", changing other parts of the line that
has a substring that matches the given regexp IS counted as a change, as
such a change would appear as one deletion followed by one addition in a
patch text.

Unlike -S (pickaxe) that is intended to be used to quickly detect a commit
that changes the number of occurrences of hits between the preimage and
the postimage to serve as a part of larger toolchain, this is meant to be
used as the top-level Porcelain feature.

The implementation unfortunately has to run "diff" twice if you are
running "log" family of commands to produce patches in the final output
(e.g. "git log -p" or "git format-patch").  I think we _could_ cache the
result in-core if we wanted to, but that would require larger surgery to
the diffcore machinery (i.e. adding an extra pointer in the filepair
structure to keep a pointer to a strbuf around, stuff the textual diff to
the strbuf inside diffgrep_consume(), and make use of it in later stages
when it is available) and it may not be worth it.

format-patch -3' used to output nothing. Since Git can't prepare
patches out of merge commits anyway, don't go over them in the first

topmost three commits without counting merge commits. Also add a
corresponding test in t4014-format-patch and update documentation.

2839478774 Work around em-dash handling in newer AsciiDoc
Older versions of AsciiDoc used to literally pass double dashes when we
used them in our linkgit macros and manpage titles, but newer ones (the
issue was first reported with AsciiDoc 8.5.2) turn them into em dashes.

Define litdd (literal double-dash) custom attribute in asciidoc.conf to
work this around.  While we are at it, fix a few double-dashes (e.g. the
description of "project--devo--version" convention used by tla, among
other things) that used to be incorrectly written as em dashes in the body
text to also use this attribute.

e1906c4669 Documentation: remove stray backslash from "git bundle" manual
In v1.6.2.2~6^2~4 (Documentation: minor grammatical fixes
and rewording in git-bundle.txt, 2009-03-22), backslashes were
introduced before ~ to avoid introducing unintentional
superscripts.  In one paragraph there is only one ~, though,
making that not a candidate for quoting, and asciidoc 8.5.8
passes the backslash through so the man page says "\~10..master".

Maybe there is an asciidoc behavior change involved.

In any case, we should replace tildes with a {tilde} entity which
means the same thing regardless of where it is found.

An asterisk in "Documentation/*.txt" quoted with \ to avoid bold text

"Documentation/\*.txt" in the .gitignore file.

c300578f12 Documentation: clarify quoting in "git rm" example
Intended output:

	git rm Documentation/\*.txt
		Removes all *.txt files from the index that are under
		the Documentation directory and any of its
		subdirectories.

		Note that the asterisk * is quoted from the shell in
		this example; this lets git, and not the shell, expand
		the pathnames of files and subdirectories under the
		Documentation/ directory.

Without this change, there are too many backslashes output.
Tested with asciidoc 8.5.2.

3988da0636 Documentation: add missing quotes to "git grep" examples
Without an indication to the contrary, Asciidoc puts 'quoted
text' in italics, making the output look like this:

	git grep time_t -- *.[ch]
	    Looks for time_t in all tracked .c and .h
	    files in the working directory and its subdirectories.

	git grep -e '#define\' --and \( -e MAX_PATH -e PATH_MAX \)
	    Looks for a line that has #define and either MAX_PATH or
	    PATH_MAX.

In the first example, the *.[ch] argument needs to be protected from
the shell, or else it will only match files in the current directory.
The second example has a stray backslash.

438ded457b Documentation: quoting trouble in "git rm" discussion
The current output (with Asciidoc 8.5.2) seems a bit broken:

	given two directories ‘d` and d2, there is a difference
	between using git rm 'd*’ and ‘git rm 'd/\*\’`, as the
	former will also remove all of directory d2.

In other words, the markup parses as

	given two directories << d` and _d2_, there is a difference
	between using _git rm 'd* >>_ and << git rm 'd/\*\ >> `.

I suspect there is an asciidoc bug involved (why is ' a candidate
closing-quote mark when it is preceded by a backslash?) but with
all the meanings of ` and ' involved I do not want to track it
down.  Better to use unambiguous {asterisk} and {apostrophe}
entities.

130ab8ab9c Eliminate “Finished cherry-pick/revert” message
When cherry-pick was written (v0.99.6~63, 2005-08-27), “git commit”
was quiet, and the output from cherry-pick provided useful information
about the progress of a rebase.

Now next to the output from “git commit”, the cherry-pick notification
is so much noise (except for the name of the picked commit).

 $ git cherry-pick ..topic
 Finished cherry-pick of 499088b.
 [detached HEAD 17e1ff2] Move glob module to libdpkg

 [detached HEAD 058caa3] libdpkg: Add missing symbols to Versions script
  Author: Guillem Jover <guillem@debian.org>

 $

The noise is especially troublesome when sifting through the output of
a rebase or multiple cherry-pick that eventually failed.

With the commit subject, it is already not hard to figure out where
the commit came from.  So drop the “Finished” message.

e6c111b4c0 unpack_trees: group error messages by type
When an error is encountered, it calls add_rejected_file() which either
- directly displays the error message and stops if in plumbing mode
  (i.e. if show_all_errors is not initialized at 1)
- or stores it so that it will be displayed at the end with display_error_msgs(),

Storing the files by error type permits to have a list of files for
which there is the same error instead of having a serie of almost
identical errors.

As each bind_overlap error combines a file and an old file, a list cannot be
done, therefore, theses errors are not stored but directly displayed.

cd035b1cef rebase -i: add exec command to launch a shell command
The typical usage pattern would be to run a test (or simply a compilation
command) at given points in history.

The shell command is ran (from the worktree root), and the rebase is
stopped when the command fails, to give the user an opportunity to fix
the problem before continuing with "git rebase --continue".

This needs a little rework of skip_unnecessary_picks, which wasn't robust
enough to deal with lines like

  exec >"file    name with many spaces"

in the todolist. The new version extracts command, sha1 and rest from
each line, but outputs the line itself verbatim to avoid changing the
whitespace layout.

be4f2b408e Add the 'diff.ignoreSubmodules' config setting
When you have a lot of submodules checked out, the time penalty to check
for dirty submodules can easily imply a multiplication of the total time
by the factor 20. This makes the difference between almost instantaneous
(< 2 seconds) and unbearably slow (> 50 seconds) here, since the disk
caches are constantly overloaded.

To this end, the submodule.*.ignore config option was introduced, but it
is per-submodule.

This commit introduces a global config setting to set a default
(porcelain) value for the --ignore-submodules option, keeping the
default at 'none'. It can be overridden by the submodule.*.ignore
setting and by the --ignore-submodules option.

Incidentally, this commit fixes an issue with the overriding logic:
multiple --ignore-submodules options would not clear the previously
set flags.

While at it, fix a typo in the documentation for submodule.*.ignore.

aee9c7d654 Submodules: Add the new "ignore" config option for diff and status
The new "ignore" config option controls the default behavior for "git
status" and the diff family. It specifies under what circumstances they
consider submodules as modified and can be set separately for each
submodule.

The command line option "--ignore-submodules=" has been extended to accept
the new parameter "none" for both status and diff.

Users that chose submodules to get rid of long work tree scanning times
might want to set the "dirty" option for those submodules. This brings
back the pre 1.7.0 behavior, where submodule work trees were never
scanned for modifications. By using "--ignore-submodules=none" on the
command line the status and diff commands can be told to do a full scan.

This option can be set to the following values (which have the same name
and meaning as for the "--ignore-submodules" option of status and diff):

"all": All changes to the submodule will be ignored.

"dirty": Only differences of the commit recorded in the superproject and
	the submodules HEAD will be considered modifications, all changes
	to the work tree of the submodule will be ignored. When using this
	value, the submodule will not be scanned for work tree changes at
	all, leading to a performance benefit on large submodules.

"untracked": Only untracked files in the submodules work tree are ignored,
	a changed HEAD and/or modified files in the submodule will mark it
	as modified.

"none" (which is the default): Either untracked or modified files in a
	submodules work tree or a difference between the subdmodules HEAD
	and the commit recorded in the superproject will make it show up
	as changed. This value is added as a new parameter for the
	"--ignore-submodules" option of the diff family and "git status"
	so the user can override the settings in the configuration.

7610fa57e6 merge-recursive --renormalize
Teach "git merge-recursive" a --renormalize option to enable the
merge.renormalize configuration.  The --no-renormalize option can
be used to override it in the negative.

So in the future, you might be able to, e.g.:

	git checkout -m -Xrenormalize otherbranch

or

	git revert -Xrenormalize otherpatch

or

	git pull --rebase -Xrenormalize

The bad part: merge.renormalize is still not honored for most
commands.  And it reveals lots of places that -X has not been plumbed
in (so we get "git merge -Xrenormalize" but not much else).

73cf7f713d ll-merge: make flag easier to populate
ll_merge() takes its options in a flag word, which has a few
advantages:

 - options flags can be cheaply passed around in registers, while
   an option struct passed by pointer cannot;

 - callers can easily pass 0 without trouble for no options,
   while an option struct passed by value would not allow that.

The downside is that code to populate and access the flag word can be
somewhat opaque.  Mitigate that with a few macros.

93ce190cd1 rebase: support -X to pass through strategy options
git-rebase calls out to merge strategies, but did not support merge
strategy options so far.  Add this, in the same style used in
git-merge.

Sadly we have to do the full quoting/eval dance here, since
merge-recursive supports the --subtree=<path> option which potentially
contains whitespace.

This patch does not cover git rebase -i, which does not call any merge
strategy directly except in --preserve-merges, and even then only for
merges.

[jc: with a trivial fix-up for 'expr']

3f8fc184c0 Documentation: flesh out “git pull” description
The current description in the pull man page does not say much more
than that “git pull” is fetch + merge.  Though that is all a person
needs to know in the end, it would be useful to summarize a bit about
what those commands do for new readers.

Most of this description is taken from the “git merge” docs.

Now that we explain how to back out of a failed merge (reset --merge),
we can tone down the warning against that a bit.

Except, as Thomas noticed, there’s a risk with that because people
might read this version of the manpage online and then conclude that
it is safe to try a merge with uncommitted changes, only to find that
their “git reset” doesn't support --merge yet.  Or worse, verify that
their git-reset has --merge by a quick test (1b5b465 is in 1.6.2) but
then find that it does not help with backing out of a merge (e11d7b5
is only in 1.7.0!).  So keep the warning.

With clarifications from Ævar, Thomas, and Junio.
