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.

c1a95fa629 Documentation: customize diff-options depending on particular command
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.

9e6c723087 git-diff.txt: add section "output format" describing the diff formats
git-diff.txt includes diff-options.txt which for the -p option refers
to a section "generating patches.." which is missing from the git-diff
documentation.  This patch adapts diff-format.txt to additionally
mention the git-diff program, and includes diff-format.txt into
git-diff.txt.

Tino Keitel noticed this problem.

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.

b8105375ab Fix diff-options references in git-diff and git-format-patch
Most of the git-diff-* documentation used [<common diff options>]
instead of [--diff-options], so make that change in git-diff and
git-format-patch.

In addition, git-format-patch didn't include the meanings of the diff
options.

d516c2d119 Teach git-diff-files the new option --no-index
With this flag and given two paths, git-diff-files behaves as a GNU diff
lookalike (plus the git goodies like --check, colour, etc.).  This flag
is also available in git-diff.  It also works outside of a git repository.

In addition, if git-diff{,-files} is called without revision or stage
parameter, and with exactly two paths at least one of which is not tracked,
the default is --no-index.

So, you can now say

	git diff /etc/inittab /etc/fstab

and it actually works!

This also unifies the duplicated argument parsing between cmd_diff_files()
and builtin_diff_files().

41a5564e05 Refer users to git-rev-parse for revision specification syntax.
The revision specification syntax (sometimes referred to as
SHA1-expressions) is accepted almost everywhere in Git by
almost every tool.  Unfortunately it is only documented in
git-rev-parse.txt, and most users don't know to look there.

ce0545455a diff documentation: mostly talk about <commit>
This corrects minor remaining bits that still talked about <tree-ish>;
the Porcelain users (as opposed to plumbers) are mostly interested in
commits so use <commit> consistently and keep a sentence that mentions
that <tree-ish> can be used in place of them.

e697e4cd1f Make git-diff documentation use [--] when it should.
Two of the cases has "[--] [<path>...]" and two had "-- [<path>...]".
Not terribly consistent and potentially confusing.  Also add "[--]" to
the synopsis so that it's obvious you can use it from the very
beginning.

f5e6b89b3a Update git-diff documentation
Porcelain documentation should talk in terms of end-user workflow, not
in terms of implementation details.  Do not suggest update-index, but
git-add instead.  Explain differences among 0-, 1- and 2-tree cases
not as differences of number of trees given to the command, but say
why user would want to give these number of trees to the command in
what situation.

f2dd1c9adf Revert "git-diff: Introduce --index and deprecate --cached."
This reverts commit 4c81c213a4.

Although --cached and --index are confusing wording, the use of
word --cached for git-diff is consistent with git-apply.  It means
"work with index without looking at the working tree".

We should probably come up with better wording for --cached, if
somebody wants to deprecate it.  But making --index and --cached
synonyms for diff while leaving them mean different things for
apply is no good.

4c81c213a4 git-diff: Introduce --index and deprecate --cached.
'git diff --cached' still works, but its use is discouraged
in the documentation. 'git diff --index' does the same thing
and is consistent with how 'git apply --index' works.

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.
