d595bdc17f doc: put example URLs and emails inside literal backticks
This makes sure that AsciiDoc does not turn them into links.
Regular AsciiDoc does not catch these cases, but AsciiDoctor
does treat them as links.

4538a88256 doc: drop backslash quoting of some curly braces
Text like "{foo}" triggers an AsciiDoc attribute; we have to
write "\{foo}" to suppress this. But when the "foo" is not a
syntactically valid attribute, we can skip the quoting. This
makes the source nicer to read, and looks better under
Asciidoctor. With AsciiDoc itself, this patch produces no
changes.

1c262bb7b2 doc: convert \--option to --option
Older versions of AsciiDoc would convert the "--" in
"--option" into an emdash. According to 565e135
(Documentation: quote double-dash for AsciiDoc, 2011-06-29),
this is fixed in AsciiDoc 8.3.0. According to bf17126, we
don't support anything older than 8.4.1 anyway, so we no
longer need to worry about quoting.

Even though this does not change the output at all, there
are a few good reasons to drop the quoting:

  1. It makes the source prettier to read.

  2. We don't quote consistently, which may be confusing when
     reading the source.

  3. Asciidoctor does not like the quoting, and renders a
     literal backslash.

0a3ca9c011 doc/add: reformat --edit option
All of the other options in the list put short and long as
two separate headings.

We can also drop the backslashing of `--`. It isn't used
elsewhere and is unnecessary for modern asciidoc (plus it
confuses asciidoctor).

a367b8699d doc: fix length of underlined section-title
In AsciiDoc, it is OK to say:

   this is my title
   -------------------------

but AsciiDoctor is more strict. Let's match the underline to
the title (which also makes the source prettier to read).
The output from AsciiDoc is the same either way.

b50bfb8fd5 doc: fix unquoted use of "{type}"
Curly braces open an "attribute" in AsciiDoc; if there's no
such attribute, strange things may happen. In this case, the
unquoted "{type}" causes AsciiDoc to omit an entire line of
text from the output. We can fix it by putting the whole
phrase inside literal backticks (which also lets us get rid
of ugly backslash escaping).

e08bc7a9ec doc: fix misrendering due to `single quote'
AsciiDoc misparses some text that contains a `literal`
word followed by a fancy `single quote' word, and treats
everything from the start of the literal to the end of the
quote as a single-quoted phrase.

We can work around this by switching the latter to be a
literal, as well. In the first case, this is perhaps what
was intended anyway, as it makes us consistent with the the
earlier literals in the same paragraph. In the second, the
output is arguably better, as we will format our commit
references as <code> blocks.

ad3967a5a2 doc: fix unmatched code fences in git-stripspace
The asciidoctor renderer is more picky than classic asciidoc,
and insists that the start and end of a code fence be the
same size.

Found with this hacky perl script:

    foreach my $fn (@ARGV) {
      open(my $fh, '<', $fn);
      my ($fence, $fence_lineno, $prev);
      while (<$fh>) {
        chomp;
        if (/^----+$/) {
          if ($fence_lineno) {
            if ($_ ne $fence) {
              print "$fn:$fence_lineno:mismatched fence: ",
                    length($fence), " != ", length($_), "\n";
            }
            $fence_lineno = undef;
          }
	  # hacky check to avoid title-underlining
          elsif ($prev eq '' || $prev eq '+') {
            $fence = $_;
            $fence_lineno = $.;
          }

'git cat-file' throws an error while trying to print the type or
size of a broken/corrupt object. This is because these objects are
usually of unknown types.

Teach git cat-file a '--allow-unknown-type' option where it prints
the type or size of a broken/corrupt object without throwing
an error.

Modify '-t' and '-s' options to call sha1_object_info_extended()
directly to support the '--allow-unknown-type' option.

74e8bc59cb merge: handle FETCH_HEAD internally
The collect_parents() function now is responsible for

 1. parsing the commits given on the command line into a list of
    commits to be merged;

 2. filtering these parents into independent ones; and

 3. optionally calling fmt_merge_msg() via prepare_merge_message()
    to prepare an auto-generated merge log message, using fake
    contents that FETCH_HEAD would have had if these commits were
    fetched from the current repository with "git pull . $args..."

Make "git merge FETCH_HEAD" to be the same as the traditional

    git merge "$(git fmt-merge-msg <.git/FETCH_HEAD)" $commits

invocation of the command in "git pull", where $commits are the ones
that appear in FETCH_HEAD that are not marked as not-for-merge, by
making it do a bit more, specifically:

 - noticing "FETCH_HEAD" is the only "commit" on the command line
   and picking the commits that are not marked as not-for-merge as
   the list of commits to be merged (substitute for step #1 above);

 - letting the resulting list fed to step #2 above;

 - doing the step #3 above, using the contents of the FETCH_HEAD
   instead of fake contents crafted from the list of commits parsed
   in the step #1 above.

Note that this changes the semantics.  "git merge FETCH_HEAD" has
always behaved as if the first commit in the FETCH_HEAD file were
directly specified on the command line, creating a two-way merge
whose auto-generated merge log said "merge commit xyz".  With this
change, if the previous fetch was to grab multiple branches (e.g.
"git fetch $there topic-a topic-b"), the new world order is to
create an octopus, behaving as if "git pull $there topic-a topic-b"
were run.  This is a deliberate change to make that happen, and
can be seen in the changes to t3033 tests.

they do not render well in tools like gitk, but if they are present
in the repository being imported into git then there's no need to
avoid reproducing them faithfully.

In olden times, before v1.6.0-rc0~194 (2008-06-27), git commit-tree
and higher-level tools built on top of it were limited to writing 16
parents for a commit.  Nowadays normal git operations are happy to
write more parents when asked, so the motivation for this note in the
fast-import documentation is gone and we can remove it.

f907282faf cherry-pick: fix docs describing handling of empty commits
Commit b27cfb0 (git-cherry-pick: Add keep-redundant-commits
option, 2012-04-20), added the --keep-redundant-commits
option, and switched the default behavior (without that
option) to silently ignore empty commits. Later, the second
half of that commit was reverted in ac2b0e8 (cherry-pick:
regression fix for empty commits, 2012-05-29), but the
documentation added for --keep-redundant-commits was never
updated to match. Let's do so now.

d50d31e880 docs: clarify what git-rebase's "-p" / "--preserve-merges" does
Ignoring a merge can be read as ignoring the changes a merge commit
introduces altogether, as if the entire side branch the merge commit
merged was removed from the history.  But that is not what happens
if "-p" is not specified.  What happens is that the individual
commits a merge commit introduces are replayed in order, and only
any possible merge conflict resolutions or manual amendments to the
merge commit are ignored.

Get this straight in the docs.

Also, do not say that merge commits are *tried* to be recreated. As that is
true almost everywhere it is better left unsaid.

44b228985e git-credential-store: support XDG_CONFIG_HOME
Add $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/credentials to the default credential search
path of git-credential-store. This allows git-credential-store to
support user-specific configuration files in accordance with the XDG
base directory specification[1].

[1] http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-0.7.html

~/.git-credentials has a higher precedence than
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/credentials when looking up credentials.  This
means that if any duplicate matching credentials are found in the xdg
file (due to ~/.git-credentials being updated by old versions of git or
outdated tools), they will not be used at all. This is to give the user
some leeway in switching to old versions of git while keeping the xdg
directory. This is consistent with the behavior of git-config.

However, the higher precedence of ~/.git-credentials means that as long
as ~/.git-credentials exist, all credentials will be written to the
~/.git-credentials file even if the user has an xdg file as having a
~/.git-credentials file indicates that the user wants to preserve
backwards-compatibility. This is also consistent with the behavior of
git-config.

To make this precedence explicit in docs/git-credential-store, add a new
section FILES that lists out the credential file paths in their order of
precedence, and explain how the ordering affects the lookup, storage and
erase operations.

Also, update the documentation for --file to briefly explain the
operations on multiple files if the --file option is not provided.

Since the xdg file will not be used unless it actually exists, to
prevent the situation where some credentials are present in the xdg file
while some are present in the home file, users are recommended to not
create the xdg file if they require compatibility with old versions of
git or outdated tools. Note, though, that "erase" can be used to
explicitly erase matching credentials from all files.
