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.
When the usage string for a subcommand must be printed,
only print the information relevant to that command.
This commit also removes the complete options list from
the first line of the subcommand usage string. Instead,
individual options are documented in the detailed
description following the general usage line.

Previously, git remote update <remote> would fail unless there was
a remote group configured with the same name as the remote.
git remote update will now fall back to using the remote if no matching
group can be found.
This enables "git remote update -p <remote>..." to fetch and prune one
or more remotes, for example.

With the --prune (or -p) option, git remote update will also prune
all the remotes that it fetches. Previously, you had to do a manual
git remote prune <remote> for each of the remotes you wanted to
prune, and this could be tedious with many remotes.
A single command will now update a set of remotes, and remove all
stale branches: git remote update -p [group]

The new rename subcommand does the followings:
1) Renames the remote.foo configuration section to remote.bar
2) Updates the remote.bar.fetch refspecs
3) Updates the branch.*.remote settings
4) Renames the tracking branches: renames the normal refs and rewrites
the symrefs to point to the new refs.

With git-commands moving out of $(bindir), it is useful to make a
clearer distinction between the git subcommand 'git-whatever' and
the command you type, `git whatever <options>`. So we use a dash
after "git" when referring to the former and not the latter.
I already sent a patch doing this same thing, but I missed some
spots.

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.

This command is really too quiet which make it unconfortable to use.
Also implement a --dry-run option, in place of the original -n one, to

This patch adds a remote.*.mirror configuration option that,
when set, automatically puts git-push in --mirror mode for that
remote.
Furthermore, the option is set automatically by `git remote
add --mirror'.
The code in remote.c to parse remote.*.skipdefaultupdate
had a subtle problem: a comment in the code indicated that
special care was needed for boolean options, but this care was
not used in parsing the option. Since I was touching related
code, I did this fix too.
[jc: and I further fixed up the "ignore boolean" code.]

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.

diff --cc: fix display of symlink conflicts during a merge.
In response to a feature request from Shawn Pearce, this patch allows
a user to update a named group of remotes by using "git remote update
<group>", where the group is defined in the config file by
remotes.<group>. The default if the named group is not specified is
now fetched group remotes.default, instead of remote.fetch, which is
what had been previously used.
In addition, if remotes.default is not defined, all remotes defined in
the config file will be used, as before, but there is now also
possible to request that a particular repository to be skipped by
default by using the boolean configuration parameter
remote.<name>.skipDefaultUpdate.
