b499549401 Teach rebase the --no-ff option.
For git-rebase.sh, --no-ff is a synonym for --force-rebase.

For git-rebase--interactive.sh, --no-ff cherry-picks all the commits in
the rebased branch, instead of fast-forwarding over any unchanged commits.

--no-ff offers an alternative way to deal with reverted merges.  Instead of
"reverting the revert" you can use "rebase --no-ff" to recreate the branch
with entirely new commits (they're new because at the very least the
committer time is different).  This obviates the need to revert the
reversion, as you can re-merge the new topic branch directly.  Added an
addendum to revert-a-faulty-merge.txt describing the situation and how to
use --no-ff to handle it.

a3cfb7f83f Documentation/urls: Remove spurious example markers
In urls.txt (which is included from git-{clone,fetch,push}.txt)
several item lists are surrounded by example block markers. This is
problematic for two reasons:

- None of these lists are example lists, so they should not be marked as
  such semantically.
- The html output looks weird (bulleted list with left sidebar).

Therefore, remove the example block markers. Output by the man backend
is unaffected.

bce02c1b4d everyday: fsck and gc are not everyday operations
Back in 2005 when this document was written, it may have made sense to
introduce ‘git fsck’ (then ‘git fsck-objects’) as the very first example
command for new users of Git 0.99.9.  Now that Git has been stable for
years and does not actually tend to eat your data, it makes significantly
less sense.  In fact, it sends an entirely wrong message.

‘git gc’ is also unnecessary for the purposes of this document, especially
with gc.auto enabled by default.

The only other commands in the “Basic Repository” section were ‘git init’
and ‘git clone’.  ‘clone’ is already listed in the “Participant” section,
so move ‘init’ to the “Standalone” section and get rid of “Basic
Repository” entirely.

66d6819984 git-notes(1): add a section about the meaning of history
To the displaying code, the only interesting thing about a notes ref
is that it has a tree of the required format.  However, notes actually
have a history since they are recorded as successive commits.

Make a note about the existence of this history in the manpage, but
keep some doors open if we want to change the details.

Implement helper functions to load the rewriting config, and to
actually copy the notes.  Also document the config.

Secondly, also implement an undocumented --for-rewrite=<cmd> option to
'git notes copy' which is used like --stdin, but also puts the
configuration for <cmd> into effect.  It will be needed to support the
copying in git-rebase.

160baa0d9c notes: implement 'git notes copy --stdin'
This implements a mass-copy command that takes a sequence of lines in
the format

  <from-sha1> SP <to-sha1> [ SP <rest> ] LF

on stdin, and copies each <from-sha1>'s notes to the <to-sha1>.  The
<rest> is ignored.  The intent, of course, is that this can read the
same input that the 'post-rewrite' hook gets.

The copy_note() function is exposed for everyone's and in particular
the next commit's use.

c0fc686911 Documentation: document post-rewrite hook
This defines the behaviour of the post-rewrite hook support, which
will be implemented in the following patches.

We deliberately do not document how often the hook will be invoked per
rewriting command, but the interface is designed to keep that at
"once".  This would currently not matter too much, since both rebase
and filter-branch are shellscripts and spawn many processes anyway.
However, when a fast sequencer in C is implemented, it will be
beneficial to only have to run the hook once.
