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.

We should mention the use of the "..." syntax for git-diff here.  The
note about the difference between diff and the combined output of
git-format-patch then no longer fits so well, so remove it.  Add a
reference to the git-format-patch[1] manpage.

3fb0028253 user-manual: Add section "Why bisecting merge commits can be harder ..."
This commit adds a discussion of the challenge of bisecting
merge commits to the user manual.  The original author is
Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>, who posted the text to
the mailing list <http://marc.info/?l=git&m=119403257315527&w=2>.
His email was adapted for the manual.

The discussion is added to "Rewriting history and maintainig
patch series".  The text added requires good understanding of
merging and rebasing.  Therefore it should not be placed too
early in the manual.  Right after the section on "Problems with
rewriting history", the discussion of bisect gives another reason
for linearizing as much of the history as possible.

The text includes suggestions and fixes by
Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> and
Benoit Sigoure <tsuna@lrde.epita.fr>.

93cbbd7121 user-manual: minor rewording for clarity.
Junio screwed up when applying the previous round of the patch;
rewording from "previous" to "old" does make the description
clearer.

Also revert the rewording from head to branch.  The description
is talking about the branch's tip commit and using the word head
is clearer.

Based on input from Sergei and Bruce.

477ff5b71a manual: Fix example finding commits referencing given content.
If I'm handed a file, then it typically lives outside the
working directory.  git-log only operates on in-tree files,
so the first 'filename' should be an in-tree one, or it should
look at all files.  This patch does the latter, so it would
also find renamed files.  However, it is also slower.

971aa71fc6 user-manual: adjust section levels in "git internals"
The descriptions of the various object types should all be a subsection
of the "Object Database" section.

I cribbed most of this chapter from the README (now core-intro.txt and
git(7)), because there's stuff in there people need to know and I was
too lazy to rewrite it.  The audience isn't quite right, though--the
chapter is a mixture of user- and developer- level documentation that
isn't as appropriate now as it was originally.

So, reserve this chapter for stuff users need to know, and move the
source code introduction into a new "git hacking" chapter where we'll
also move any hacker-only technical details.

464a8a7a15 user-manual: edit "ignoring files" for conciseness
The immediate motivation for writing this section was to explain the
various places ignore patterns could be used.  However, I still think
.gitignore is the case most people will want to learn about first.  It
also makes it a bit more concrete to introduce ignore patterns in the
context of .gitignore first.  And the existance of gitignore(5) relieves
the pressure to explain it all here.

So, stick to the .gitignore example, with only a brief mention of the
others, explain the syntax only by example, and leave the rest to
gitignore(5).

The git gui project seems to be still in early stages, but at a point
where it's worth mentioning as an alternative way of creating commits.

One feature of interest is the ability to manipulate individual diff
hunks.  However, people have found that feature not to be easily
discoverable from the user-interface.  Pending some ui improvements, a
parenthetical hint here may help.
