Currently, whenever we need documentation for revisions and ranges, we
link to the git-rev-parse man page, i.e. a plumbing man page, which has
this along with the documentation of all rev-parse modes.
Link to the new gitrevisions man page instead in all cases except
- when the actual git-rev-parse command is referred to or
- in very technical context (git-send-pack).

If a missing ONE_FILESYSTEM defaults to true, the only users who set this
variable set it to false to tell git not to limit the discovery to one
filesystem; there are too many negations in one sentence to make a simple
panda brain dizzy.
Use the variable GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM that changes the
behaviour from the default "limit to one filesystem" to "cross the
boundary as I ask you to"; makes the semantics much more straight
forward.

Regarding the new environment variable, Linus Torvalds
<torvalds@linux-foundation.org> writes on Tue, 30 Mar 2010 in
<alpine.LFD.2.00.1003301537150.3707@i5.linux-foundation.org>:
I suspect that it is _very_ unusual to have a source repo that crosses
multiple filesystems, and the original reason for this patch-series
seems to me to be likely to be more common than that multi-fs case. So
having the logic go the other way would seem to match the common case,
no?
The "crossing filesystem boundary" condition is checked by comparing
st_dev field in the result from stat(2). This is slightly worrysome if
non-POSIX ports return different values in the field even for directories
in the same work tree extracted to the same "filesystem". Erik Faye-Lund
confirms that in the msysgit port st_dev is 0, so this should be safe, as
"even Windows is safe" ;-)
This will affect those who use /.git to cram /etc and /home/me in the same
repostiory, /home is mounted from non-root filesystem, and a git operation
is done from inside /home/me/src. But that is such a corner case we don't
want to give preference over helping people who will benefit from having
this default so that they do not have to suffer from slow automounters.

This patch makes git pay attention to the GIT_ONE_FILESYSTEM environment
variable. When that variable is set, git will stop searching for a
GIT_DIR when it attempts to cross a filesystem boundary.
When working in an environment with too many automount points to make
maintaining a GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES list enjoyable, GIT_ONE_FILESYSTEM
gives the option of turning all such attempts off with one setting.

The --paginate option is meant to negate the effect of an explicit or

RelNotes
The documentation was quite inconsistent when spelling 'git cmd' if it
only refers to the program, not to some specific invocation syntax:
both 'git-cmd' and 'git cmd' spellings exist.
The current trend goes towards dashless forms, and there is precedent
in 647ac70 (git-svn.txt: stop using dash-form of commands.,
2009-07-07) to actively eliminate the dashed variants.
Replace 'git-cmd' with 'git cmd' throughout, except where git-shell,
git-cvsserver, git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack, and
git-upload-archive are concerned, because those really live in the
$PATH.

Commit dae556b (environment: add global variable to disable replacement)
adds a variable to enable/disable replacement, and it is enabled by
default for most commands.
So there is no way to disable it for some commands, which is annoying
when we want to get information about a commit that has been replaced.
For example:
$ git cat-file -p N
would output information about the replacement commit if commit N is
replaced.
With the "--no-replace-objects" option that this patch adds it is
possible to get information about the original commit using:
$ git --no-replace-objects cat-file -p N
While at it, let's add some documentation about this new option in the
"git replace" man page too.

Most of the docs and printouts refer to "commands" when discussing what
the end users call via the "git" top-level program. We should refer them
as "git programs" when we discuss the fact that the commands are
implemented as separate programs, but in other contexts, it is better to
use the term "git commands" consistently.

Some manual pages use teletype font to set command names. We
change them to use italics, instead. This creates a visual
distinction between names of commands and command lines that
can be typed at the command line. It is also more consistent
with other man pages outside Git.
In this patch, the commands named are non-git commands like bash.

The names of git commands are not meant to be entered at the
