53ffb878a9 git-daemon: set REMOTE_ADDR to client address
This allows hooks like pre-receive to look at the client's IP
address.

Of course the IP address can't be used to get strong security;
git-daemon isn't the right thing to use if you need that. However,
basic IP address checking can be good enough in some situations.

REMOTE_ADDR is the same environment variable used to communicate the
client's address to CGI scripts.

ba020ef5eb manpages: italicize git command names (which were in teletype font)
The names of git commands are not meant to be entered at the
commandline; they are just names. So we render them in italics,
as is usual for command names in manpages.

Using

	doit () {
	  perl -e 'for (<>) { s/\`(git-[^\`.]*)\`/'\''\1'\''/g; print }'
	}
	for i in git*.txt config.txt diff*.txt blame*.txt fetch*.txt i18n.txt \
	        merge*.txt pretty*.txt pull*.txt rev*.txt urls*.txt
	do
	  doit <"$i" >"$i+" && mv "$i+" "$i"
	done
	git diff

483bc4f045 Documentation formatting and cleanup
Following what appears to be the predominant style, format
names of commands and commandlines both as `teletype text`.

While we're at it, add articles ("a" and "the") in some
places, italicize the name of the command in the manual page
synopsis line, and add a comma or two where it seems appropriate.

b1889c36d8 Documentation: be consistent about "git-" versus "git "
Since the git-* commands are not installed in $(bindir), using
"git-command <parameters>" in examples in the documentation is
not a good idea. On the other hand, it is nice to be able to
refer to each command using one hyphenated word. (There is no
escaping it, anyway: man page names cannot have spaces in them.)

This patch retains the dash in naming an operation, command,
program, process, or action. Complete command lines that can
be entered at a shell (i.e., without options omitted) are
made to use the dashless form.

The changes consist only of replacing some spaces with hyphens
and vice versa. After a "s/ /-/g", the unpatched and patched
versions are identical.

963a653fa6 git-daemon(1): don't assume git-daemon is in /usr/bin
In the example inetd.conf lines in git-daemon(1), it was
assumed that `git-daemon` resides in the user's /usr/bin.
With this patch, we only assume `git` is in /usr/bin.

The stronger assumption fails in the default installation
nowadays.

3240240ff4 Docs: Use "-l::\n--long\n" format in OPTIONS sections
The OPTIONS section of a documentation file contains a list
of the options a git command accepts.

Currently there are several variants to describe the case that
different options (almost) do the same in the OPTIONS section.

Some are:

 -f, --foo::
 -f|--foo::
 -f | --foo::

But AsciiDoc has the special form:

 -f::
 --foo::

This patch applies this form to the documentation of the whole git suite,
and removes useless em-dash prevention, so \--foo becomes --foo.

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*?)(\[(?P<attrlist>.*?)\])=

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.

bdd7379566 git-daemon(1): assorted improvements.
Jari Aalto noticed a handful places in git-daemon documentation
that need to be improved.

 * --inetd makes --pid-file to be ignored, in addition to --user
   and --group

 * receive-pack service was not described at all.  We should, if
   only to warn about the security implications of it.

 * There was no example of per repository configuration.

73a7a65663 --base-path-relaxed option
I switched git.kernel.dk to --base-path a few minutes ago, to get rid of
a /data/git postfix in the posted urls. But transitioning is tricky,
since now all old paths will fail miserably.

So I added this --base-path-relaxed option, that will make git-daemon
try the absolute path without prefixing --base-path before giving up.
With this in place and --base-path-relaxed added, both my new url of

    git://git.kernel.dk/linux-2.6-block.git

and the old

    git://git.kernel.dk/data/git/linux-2.6-block.git

work fine.

603968d22b daemon: extend user-relative path notation.
Earlier, we made --base-path to automatically forbid
user-relative paths, which was probably a mistake.  This
introduces --user-path (or --user-path=path) option to control
the use of user-relative paths independently.  The latter form
of the option can be used to restrict accesses to a part of each
user's home directory, similar to "public_html" some webservers
supports.

If we're invoked with --user-path=FOO option, then a URL of the
form git://~USER/PATH/... resolves to the path HOME/FOO/PATH/...,
where HOME is USER's home directory.

[jc: This is much reworked by me so bugs are mine, but the
 original patch was done by Mark Wooding.]
