01144f2095 builtin-rm: Add a --force flag
This adds a --force flag to git-rm, making it somewhat easier for
subversion people to switch.

ba020ef5eb manpages: italicize git command names (which were in teletype font)
The names of git commands are not meant to be entered at the
commandline; they are just names. So we render them in italics,
as is usual for command names in manpages.

Using

	doit () {
	  perl -e 'for (<>) { s/\`(git-[^\`.]*)\`/'\''\1'\''/g; print }'
	}
	for i in git*.txt config.txt diff*.txt blame*.txt fetch*.txt i18n.txt \
	        merge*.txt pretty*.txt pull*.txt rev*.txt urls*.txt
	do
	  doit <"$i" >"$i+" && mv "$i+" "$i"
	done
	git diff

.

483bc4f045 Documentation formatting and cleanup
Following what appears to be the predominant style, format
names of commands and commandlines both as `teletype text`.

While we're at it, add articles ("a" and "the") in some
places, italicize the name of the command in the manual page
synopsis line, and add a comma or two where it seems appropriate.

b1889c36d8 Documentation: be consistent about "git-" versus "git "
Since the git-* commands are not installed in $(bindir), using
"git-command <parameters>" in examples in the documentation is
not a good idea. On the other hand, it is nice to be able to
refer to each command using one hyphenated word. (There is no
escaping it, anyway: man page names cannot have spaces in them.)

This patch retains the dash in naming an operation, command,
program, process, or action. Complete command lines that can
be entered at a shell (i.e., without options omitted) are
made to use the dashless form.

The changes consist only of replacing some spaces with hyphens
and vice versa. After a "s/ /-/g", the unpatched and patched
versions are identical.

3240240ff4 Docs: Use "-l::\n--long\n" format in OPTIONS sections
The OPTIONS section of a documentation file contains a list
of the options a git command accepts.

Currently there are several variants to describe the case that
different options (almost) do the same in the OPTIONS section.

Some are:

 -f, --foo::
 -f|--foo::
 -f | --foo::

But AsciiDoc has the special form:

 -f::
 --foo::

This patch applies this form to the documentation of the whole git suite,
and removes useless em-dash prevention, so \--foo becomes --foo.

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.

bdecd9d41b More permissive "git-rm --cached" behavior without -f.
In the previous behavior, "git-rm --cached" (without -f) had the same
restriction as "git-rm". This forced the user to use the -f flag in
situations which weren't actually dangerous, like:

$ git add foo           # oops, I didn't want this
$ git rm --cached foo   # back to initial situation

Previously, the index had to match the file *and* the HEAD. With
--cached, the index must now match the file *or* the HEAD. The behavior
without --cached is unchanged, but provides better error messages.

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.

d4a1cab541 Add new git-rm command with documentation
This adds a git-rm command which provides convenience similar to
git-add, (and a bit more since it takes care of the rm as well if
given -f).

Like git-add, git-rm expands the given path names through
git-ls-files. This means it only acts on files listed in the
index. And it does act recursively on directories by default, (no -r
needed as in the case of rm itself). When it recurses, it does not
remove empty directories that are left behind.
