0ffa154b5b Correct word usage of "timezone" in "Documentation" directory
"timezone" is two words, not one (i.e. "time zone" is correct).

Correct this in these files:
-- date-formats.txt
-- git-blame.txt
-- git-cvsimport.txt
-- git-fast-import.txt
-- git-svn.txt
-- gitweb.conf.txt
-- rev-list-options.txt

ad9c2e22ca gitweb: allow extra breadcrumbs to prefix the trail
There are often parent pages logically above the gitweb projects
list, e.g. home pages of the organization and department that host
the gitweb server. This change allows you to include links to those
pages in gitweb's breadcrumb trail.

1a39b72787 gitweb/INSTALL: GITWEB_CONFIG_SYSTEM is for backward compatibility
Highlight that CONFIG_SYSTEM and /etc/gitweb.conf are meant to be
the fallback configuration file in BUGS section of gitweb.conf
documentation.  This will hopefully help people who expect them to
be a common default, which unfortunately came later in the history.

d274fc093c Merge branch 'jk/doc-asciidoc-inline-literal'
Our documentation was written for an ancient version of AsciiDoc,
making the source not very readable.

6cf378f0cb docs: stop using asciidoc no-inline-literal
In asciidoc 7, backticks like `foo` produced a typographic
effect, but did not otherwise affect the syntax. In asciidoc
8, backticks introduce an "inline literal" inside which markup
is not interpreted. To keep compatibility with existing
documents, asciidoc 8 has a "no-inline-literal" attribute to
keep the old behavior. We enabled this so that the
documentation could be built on either version.

It has been several years now, and asciidoc 7 is no longer
in wide use. We can now decide whether or not we want
inline literals on their own merits, which are:

  1. The source is much easier to read when the literal
     contains punctuation. You can use `master~1` instead
     of `master{tilde}1`.

  2. They are less error-prone. Because of point (1), we
     tend to make mistakes and forget the extra layer of
     quoting.

This patch removes the no-inline-literal attribute from the
Makefile and converts every use of backticks in the
documentation to an inline literal (they must be cleaned up,
or the example above would literally show "{tilde}" in the
output).

Problematic sites were found by grepping for '`.*[{\\]' and
examined and fixed manually. The results were then verified
by comparing the output of "html2text" on the set of
generated html pages. Doing so revealed that in addition to
making the source more readable, this patch fixes several
formatting bugs:

  - HTML rendering used the ellipsis character instead of
    literal "..." in code examples (like "git log A...B")

  - some code examples used the right-arrow character
    instead of '->' because they failed to quote

  - api-config.txt did not quote tilde, and the resulting
    HTML contained a bogus snippet like:

      <tt><sub></tt> foo <tt></sub>bar</tt>

    which caused some parsers to choke and omit whole
    sections of the page.

  - git-commit.txt confused ``foo`` (backticks inside a
    literal) with ``foo'' (matched double-quotes)

  - mentions of `A U Thor <author@example.com>` used to
    erroneously auto-generate a mailto footnote for
    author@example.com

  - the description of --word-diff=plain incorrectly showed
    the output as "[-removed-] and {added}", not "{+added+}".

  - using "prime" notation like:

      commit `C` and its replacement `C'`

    confused asciidoc into thinking that everything between
    the first backtick and the final apostrophe were meant
    to be inside matched quotes

  - asciidoc got confused by the escaping of some of our
    asterisks. In particular,

      `credential.\*` and `credential.<url>.\*`

    properly escaped the asterisk in the first case, but
    literally passed through the backslash in the second
    case.

This allows web sites to add some specific html headers to the pages
generated by gitweb.

The new variable $site_html_head_string can be set to an html snippet that
will be inserted at the end of the <head> section of each page generated

07ea4df278 gitweb: Add gitweb(1) manpage for gitweb itself
Most of what is in gitweb.txt it has been pulled directly from the
README and INSTALL files of gitweb.

Current version is somewhat based on structure of SVN::Web manpage
(one of web interfaces for Subversion).

gitweb.conf(5) i.e. gitweb configuration manpage now refers to
appropriate sections in gitweb(1).  gitweb/README now refers to
gitweb/INSTALL and gitweb(1) manpage.  gitweb/INSTALL now refers to
gitweb.conf(5) and gitweb(1).

6d3902b0d0 gitweb: Add gitweb.conf(5) manpage for gitweb configuration files
Much of what is in gitweb.conf.txt has been pulled directly from the
README file of gitweb.  The manpage was supplemented with description
of missing gitweb config variables, and with description of gitweb's
%features.

There remains a bit of redundancy, which should be reduced if
possible... but I think some of duplication of information is
inevitable.

[jn: Improved, extended, removed duplicate info from README]
