8a3d203bd0 log.decorate: usability fixes
The configuration is meant to suppliment --decorate command line option
that can be used as a boolean to turn the feature on, so it is natural
to expect

	[log]
		decorate
		decorate = yes

to work.  The original commit would segfault with the first one, and
would not understand the second one.

Once a user has this configuration in ~/.gitconfig, there needs to be a
way to override it from the command line.  Add --no-decorate option to
log family and also allow --decorate=no to mean the same thing.  Since
we allow setting log.decorate to 'true', the command line also should
accept --decorate=yes and behave accordingly.

New tests in t4202 are designed to exercise the interaction between the
configuration variable and the command line option that overrides it.

88d9d45d07 git log -p -m: document -m and honor --first-parent
git log -p -m is used to show one merge entry per parent, with an
appropriate diff; this can be useful when examining histories where
full set of changes introduced by a merged branch is interesting, not
only the conflicts.

This patch properly documents the -m switch, which has so far been
mentioned only as a fairly special diff-tree flag.

It also makes the code show full patch entry only for the first parent
when --first-parent is used. Thus:

	git log -p -m --first-parent

will show the history from the "main branch perspective", while also
including full diff of changes introduced by other merged in branches.

0b444cdb19 Documentation: spell 'git cmd' without dash throughout
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.

33e7018c45 git-log: allow --decorate[=short|full]
Commit de435ac0 changed the behavior of --decorate from printing the
full ref (e.g., "refs/heads/master") to a shorter, more human-readable
version (e.g., just "master"). While this is nice for human readers,
external tools using the output from "git log" may prefer the full
version.

This patch introduces an extension to --decorate to allow the caller to
specify either the short or the full versions.

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.

Asciidoc configuration:

 # Inline macros.

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.

d56651c0ef Don't allow combination of -g and --reverse as it doesn't work
The --walk-reflogs logic and the --reverse logic are completely
incompatible with one another.  Attempting to use both at the same
time leads to confusing results that sometimes violates the user's
formatting options or ignores the user's request to see the reflog
message and timestamp.

Unfortunately the implementation of both of these features is glued
onto the side of the revision walking machinary in such a way that
they are probably not going to be easy to make them compatible with
each other.  Rather than offering the user confusing results we are
better off bailing out with an error message until such a time as
the implementations can be refactored to be compatible.

Of course, I'm not exactly "Mr Documentation", and I don't know that this

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.
