A note paragraph was mistakenly made into an indented monospace display.

c85c79279d pull --rebase: be cleverer with rebased upstream branches
When the upstream branch is tracked, we can detect if that branch
was rebased since it was last fetched.  Teach git to use that
information to rebase from the old remote head onto the new remote head.

10eb64f5fd git pull manpage: don't include -n from fetch-options.txt
The -n option stands for --no-summary in git pull

[jes: reworded the description to avoid mentioning 'git-fetch';
 also exclude '-n' conditional on git-pull -- ugly because of
 the missing "else" statement in asciidoc]

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*?)(\[(?P<attrlist>.*?)\])=
+
+# Explicit so they can be nested.
+(?su)[\\]?(?P<name>(http|https|ftp|file|mailto|callto|image|link)):(?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.

cd67e4d46b Teach 'git pull' about --rebase
When calling 'git pull' with the '--rebase' option, it performs a
fetch + rebase instead of a fetch + merge.

This behavior is more desirable than fetch + pull when a topic branch
is ready to be submitted and needs to be update.

fetch + rebase might also be considered a better workflow with shared
repositories in any case, or for contributors to a centrally managed
repository, such as WINE's.

As a convenience, you can set the default behavior for a branch by
defining the config variable branch.<name>.rebase, which is
interpreted as a bool.  This setting can be overridden on the command
line by --rebase and --no-rebase.

37ba05619c Add urls.txt to git-clone man page
Since git-clone is one of the many commands taking
URLs to remote repositories as an argument, it should include
the URL-types list from urls.txt.

Split up urls.txt into urls.txt and urls-remotes.txt.  The latter
should be used by anything besides git-clone where a discussion of
using .git/config and .git/remotes/ to name URLs just doesn't make
as much sense.

a6080a0a44 War on whitespace
This uses "git-apply --whitespace=strip" to fix whitespace errors that have
crept in to our source files over time.  There are a few files that need
to have trailing whitespaces (most notably, test vectors).  The results
still passes the test, and build result in Documentation/ area is unchanged.

c14261eaa2 some doc updates
1) talk about "git merge" instead of "git pull ."

2) suggest "git repo-config" instead of directly editing config files

3) echo "URL: blah" > .git/remotes/foo is obsolete and should be
   "git repo-config remote.foo.url blah"

4) support for partial URL prefix has been removed (see commit
   ea560e6d64) so drop mention of it.

Update examples, stop using branch named "origin" as an example.

nicely automated by default, so it's not so pressing to explain, and
we can refer to git-repo-config for the details.

3ae854c356 Examples of resetting.
Morten Welinder says examples of resetting is really about
recovering from botched commit/pulls.  I agree that pointers
from commands that cause a reset to be needed in the first place
would be very helpful.

Also reset examples did not mention "pull/merge" cases.

fdd089793c Documentation: git-fetch/pull updates.
We do not accept multiple <refspecs> on one Pull:/Push: line
right now (we could lift this tentative workaround for the
broken refnames), but we have always accepted multiple such
lines, so use that form in the examples and discussion.

Also explicitly mention that Octopus is made only with an
explicit command line request and never from Pull: lines.

Add a couple of cross references.

bccf5956c3 Added a few examples to git-pull man page.
Clarified and added notes for pull/push refspecs.
Converted to back-ticks for literal text examples.

[jc: Also fixed git-pull description that still talked about its
calling git-resolve or git-octopus (we do not anymore; instead
we just call git-merge).  BTW, I am reasonably impressed by how
well "git-am -3" applied this patch, which had some conflicts
because I've updated the documentation somewhat.]

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.
