37c22a4bf8 git-format-patch: add --no-binary to omit binary changes in the patch.
Add a new option --no-binary to git-format-patch so that no binary
changes are included in the generated patches, only notices that those
files changed.  This generate patches that cannot be applied, but still
is useful for generating mails for code review purposes.

See also: commit e47f306d4b, where --binary
option was turned on by default.

921177f50f Documentation: improve "add", "pull" and "format-patch" examples
Before this patch in "git-add.txt" and "git-format-patch.txt", the
commands used in the examples were "git-CMD" instead of "git CMD".
This patch fixes that.

In "git-pull.txt" only the last example had the code sample in an
asciidoc "Listing Block", and in the other two files, none.
This patch fixes that by putting all code samples in listing
blocks.

5162e69732 Documentation: rename gitlink macro to linkgit
Between AsciiDoc 8.2.2 and 8.2.3, the following change was made to the stock
Asciidoc configuration:

@@ -149,7 +153,10 @@
 # Inline macros.
 # Backslash prefix required for escape processing.
 # (?s) re flag for line spanning.
-(?su)[\\]?(?P<name>\w(\w|-)*?):(?P<target>\S*?)(\[(?P<attrlist>.*?)\])=

 # Anchor: [[[id]]]. Bibliographic anchor.
 (?su)[\\]?\[\[\[(?P<attrlist>[\w][\w-]*?)\]\]\]=anchor3
 # Anchor: [[id,xreflabel]]

This default regex now matches explicit values, and unfortunately in this
case gitlink was being matched by just 'link', causing the wrong inline
macro template to be applied. By renaming the macro, we can avoid being
matched by the wrong regex.

Customize diff-options depending on particular command as follows,
mostly to make git-diff and git-format-patch manuals less confusing:

* git-format-patch:

  - Mark --patch-with-stat as being the default.

  - Change -p description so that it matches what it actually does and
    so that it doesn't refer to absent "section on generating
    patches".

* git-diff: mark -p as being the default.

* git-diff-index/git-diff-files/git-diff-tree: mark --raw as being

8a1d076e21 "format-patch --root rev" is the way to show everything.
We used to trigger the special case "things not in origin"
semantics only when one and only one positive ref is given, and
no number (e.g. "git format-patch -4 origin") was specified, and
used the general revision range semantics for everything else.

This narrows the special case a bit more, by making:

	git format-patch --root this_version

to show everything that leads to the named commit.

More importantly, document the two different semantics better.
The generic revision range semantics came later and bolted on
without being clearly documented.

'[-mm3 PATCH N/M]'. This patch provides the implementation and documentation.

215a7ad1ef Big tool rename.
As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch.  The primary differences
since 0.99.6 are:

  (1) git-*-script are no more.  The commands installed do not
      have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if
      something is implemented as a shell script or not.

  (2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with
      'index' if that is what they mean.

There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and
Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward
compatibility support  is expected to be removed in the near
future.
