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
the default.

Junio screwed up when applying the previous round of the patch;
rewording from "previous" to "old" does make the description
clearer.
Also revert the rewording from head to branch. The description
is talking about the branch's tip commit and using the word head
is clearer.
Based on input from Sergei and Bruce.

From version 1.72 it will replace all dots in roff requests with U+2302
("house" character), and add escaping in output for all instances of dot
that are not in roff requests. This caused the ".ft" hack forcing
monospace font in listingblocks to end up as "\&.ft" and being visible
in the resulting man page.
The fix adds a DOCBOOK_XSL_172 build variable that will disable the
hack. To allow this variable to be defined in config.mak it also moves
build variable handling below the inclusion of config.mak.

Some uses of git-rev-list are to run it with --objects to see if
a range of objects between two or more commits is fully connected
or not. In such a case the caller doesn't care about the actual
object names or hash hints so formatting this data only for it to
be dumped to /dev/null by a redirect is a waste of CPU time. If
all the caller needs is the exit status then --quiet can be used
to bypass the commit and object formatting.

Usually you cannot revert a merge because you do not know which
side of the merge should be considered the mainline (iow, what
change to reverse).
With this patch, cherry-pick and revert learn -m (--mainline)
option that lets you specify the parent number (starting from 1)
of the mainline, so that you can:
git revert -m 1 $merge
to reverse the changes introduced by the $merge commit relative
to its first parent, and:
git cherry-pick -m 2 $merge
to replay the changes introduced by the $merge commit relative
to its second parent.

This commit adds a mechanism to provide absolute paths to the
external programs called by 'git mergetool'. A path can be
specified in the configuation variable mergetool.<tool>.path.
The configuration variable is similar to how we name branches
and remotes. It is extensible if we need to specify more details
about a tool.
The mechanism is especially useful on Windows, where external
programs are unlikely to be in PATH.
