7f55cf451c Documentation: Fix man page breakage with DocBook XSL v1.72
From version 1.72 it will replace all dots in roff requests with U+2302
("house" character), and add escaping in output for all instances of dot
that are not in roff requests. This caused the ".ft" hack forcing
monospace font in listingblocks to end up as "\&.ft" and being visible
in the resulting man page.

The fix adds a DOCBOOK_XSL_172 build variable that will disable the
hack. To allow this variable to be defined in config.mak it also moves
build variable handling below the inclusion of config.mak.

6d0618a820 Add Documentation/CodingGuidelines
Even if our code is quite a good documentation for our coding style,
some people seem to prefer a document describing it.

The part about the shell scripts is clearly just copied from one of
Junio's helpful mails, and some parts were added from comments by
Junio, Andreas Ericsson and Robin Rosenberg.

d336fc096b Documentation: quote commit messages consistently.
Documentation quotes commit messages 14 times with double-quotes, and 7
times with single-quotes. The patch turns everything to double-quotes.

A nice side effect is that documentation becomes more Windoze-friendly
as AFAIK single quotes won't work there.

dee48c3c7e git-merge: document but discourage the historical syntax
Historically "git merge" took its command line arguments in a
rather strange order.  Document the historical syntax, and also
document clearly that it is not encouraged in new scripts.

There is no reason to deprecate the historical syntax, as the
current code can sanely tell which syntax the caller is using,
and existing scripts by people do use the historical syntax.

26b2800768 apply: get rid of --index-info in favor of --build-fake-ancestor
git-am used "git apply -z --index-info" to find the original versions
of the files touched by the diff, to be able to do an inexpensive
three-way merge.

This operation makes only sense in a repository, since the index
information in the diff refers to blobs, which have to be present in
the current repository.

Therefore, teach "git apply" a mode to write out the result as an
index file to begin with, obviating the need for scripts to do it
themselves.

The sole user for --index-info is "git am" is converted to
use --build-fake-ancestor in this patch.
