dcb11263bc Documentation: remove extra quoting/emphasis around literal texts
If literal text (asciidoc `...`) can be rendered in a differently from
normal text for each output format (man, HTML), then we do not need
extra quotes or other wrapping around inline literal text segments.

config.txt

  Change '`...`' to `...`. In asciidoc, the single quotes provide
  emphasis, literal text should be distintive enough.

  Change "`...`" to `...`. These double quotes do not work if present
  in the described config value, so drop them.

git-checkout.txt

  Change "`...`" to `...` or `"..."`. All instances are command line
  argument examples. One "`-`" becomes `-`. Two others are involve
  curly braces, so move the double quotes inside the literal region to
  indicate that they might need to be quoted on the command line of
  certain shells (tcsh).

git-merge.txt

  Change "`...`" to `...`. All instances are used to describe merge
  conflict markers. The quotes should are not important.

git-rev-parse.txt

  Change "`...`" to `...`. All instances are around command line
  arguments where no in-shell quoting should be necessary.

gitcli.txt

  Change `"..."` to `...`. All instances are around command line
  examples or single command arguments. They do not semanticly belong
  inside the literal text, and they are not needed outside it.

glossary-content.txt
user-manual.txt

  Change "`...`" to `...`. All instances were around command lines.

aa971cb9bf work around Python warnings from AsciiDoc
It appears that a reference to an anchor defined as [[anchor-name]] from
another place using <<anchor-name>> syntax, when the anchor name contains
a string "-with-" in its name, triggers these warnings from Python
interpreter.

  asciidoc -b docbook -d book user-manual.txt
  <string>:1: Warning: 'with' will become a reserved keyword in Python 2.6
  <string>:1: Warning: 'with' will become a reserved keyword in Python 2.6
  <string>:1: Warning: 'with' will become a reserved keyword in Python 2.6
  <string>:1: Warning: 'with' will become a reserved keyword in Python 2.6

There currently is no reference to "Finding comments with given content",
but for consistency and for futureproofing, the anchor is also updated as
the other ones that are actually used and trigger these warnings.

20244ea2d0 git-remote: list branches in vertical lists
Previously, branches were listed on a single line in each section. But
if there are many branches, then horizontal, line-wrapped lists are very
inconvenient to scan for a human. This makes the lists vertical, i.e one
branch per line is printed.

Since "git remote" is porcelain, we can easily make this
backwards-incompatible change.

7dce9918c7 Adjust for the new way of enabling the default post-update hook
The post-update hook, which is required to be enabled in order for
the repository to be accessible over HTTP, is not enabled by
chmod a+x anymore, but instead by dropping the .sample suffix.

This patch emphasizes this change in the release notes (since
I believe this is rather noticeable backwards-incompatible change).
It also adjusts the documentation which still described the old way
and fixes t/t5540-http-push.sh, which was broken for 1.5 month
but apparently noone ever runs this test.

With git-am, it sounds awkward to have the patches in ".git/rebase/",

467c0197fd Documentation: more "git-" versus "git " changes
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.

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.

But as the glossary is included in the user manual and as the new
gitglossary man page cannot be included as a whole in the user manual,
the actual glossary content is now in its own "glossary-content.txt"
new file. And this file is included by both the user manual and the
gitglossary man page.

and sometimes improved a little too.

 # 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.

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>.
