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.

40dac517ee documentation: replace Discussion section by link to user-manual chapter
The "Discussion" section has a lot of useful information, but is a
little wordy, especially for an already-long man page, and is designed
for an audience more of potential git hackers than users, which probably
doesn't make as much sense as git matures.  Also, I (perhaps foolishly)
forked a version in the user manual, which has been significantly
rewritten in an attempt to address some of the above problems.

So, remove this section and replace it by a (very terse) summary of the
original material--my attempt at the World's Shortest Git Overview--and
a reference to the appropriate chapter of the user manual.  It's
unfortunate to remove something that's been in this place for a long
time, as some people may still depend on finding it there.  But I think
we'll want to do this some day anyway.

5587cac28b GIT 1.5.3.1: obsolete git-p4 in RPM spec file.
HPA noticed that yum does not like the newer git RPM set; it turns out
that we do not ship git-p4 anymore but existing installations do not
realize the package is gone if we do not tell anything about it.

David Kastrup suggests using Obsoletes in the spec file of the new
RPM to replace the old package, so here is a try.

9277d60233 git --bare cmd: do not unconditionally nuke GIT_DIR
"GIT_DIR=some.where git --bare cmd" and worse yet
"git --git-dir=some.where --bare cmd" were very confusing.  They
both ignored git-dir specified, and instead made $cwd as GIT_DIR.

This changes --bare not to override existing GIT_DIR.

This has been like this for a long time.  Let's hope nobody sane
relied on this insane behaviour.

d5538b418d Document GIT_SSH environment variable alongside other variables
The GIT_SSH environment variable has survived for quite a while
without being documented, but has been mentioned on list and on
my day-job repositories can only be accessed via magic supplied
through the wonderous hack that is GIT_SSH.

Advertising it alongside other "low level magic" such as GIT_PAGER
and GIT_MERGE_VERBOSITY will certainly help others who need to
spread their own pixie dust to make things work.

Add "Configuration" section to describe merge.summary
configuration variable (which is mentioned in git-fmt-merge-msg(1)
man page, but it is a plumbing command), and merge.verbosity
configuration variable (so there is a place to make reference
from "Environment Variables" section of git(7) man page) to the
git-merge(1) man page.  Also describe GIT_MERGE_VERBOSITY
environment.

The configuration variable merge.verbosity and environment variable
GIT_MERGE_VERBOSITY were introduced in commit 8c3275ab, which also

06f59e9f5d Don't fflush(stdout) when it's not helpful
This patch arose from a discussion started by Jim Meyering's patch
whose intention was to provide better diagnostics for failed writes.
Linus proposed a better way to do things, which also had the added
benefit that adding a fflush() to git-log-* operations and incremental
git-blame operations could improve interactive respose time feel, at
the cost of making things a bit slower when we aren't piping the
output to a downstream program.

This patch skips the fflush() calls when stdout is a regular file, or
if the environment variable GIT_FLUSH is set to "0".  This latter can
speed up a command such as:

GIT_FLUSH=0 strace -c -f -e write time git-rev-list HEAD | wc -l

a tiny amount.

892c41b98a introduce GIT_WORK_TREE to specify the work tree
setup_gdg is used as abbreviation for setup_git_directory_gently.

The work tree can be specified using the environment variable
GIT_WORK_TREE and the config option core.worktree (the environment
variable has precendence over the config option).  Additionally
there is a command line option --work-tree which sets the
environment variable.

setup_gdg does the following now:

GIT_DIR unspecified
repository in .git directory
    parent directory of the .git directory is used as work tree,
    GIT_WORK_TREE is ignored

GIT_DIR unspecified
repository in cwd
    GIT_DIR is set to cwd
    see the cases with GIT_DIR specified what happens next and
    also see the note below

GIT_DIR specified
GIT_WORK_TREE/core.worktree unspecified
    cwd is used as work tree

GIT_DIR specified
GIT_WORK_TREE/core.worktree specified
    the specified work tree is used

Note on the case where GIT_DIR is unspecified and repository is in cwd:
    GIT_WORK_TREE is used but is_inside_git_dir is always true.
    I did it this way because setup_gdg might be called multiple
    times (e.g. when doing alias expansion) and in successive calls
    setup_gdg should do the same thing every time.

Meaning of is_bare/is_inside_work_tree/is_inside_git_dir:

(1) is_bare_repository
    A repository is bare if core.bare is true or core.bare is
    unspecified and the name suggests it is bare (directory not
    named .git).  The bare option disables a few protective
    checks which are useful with a working tree.  Currently
    this changes if a repository is bare:
        updates of HEAD are allowed
        git gc packs the refs
        the reflog is disabled by default

(2) is_inside_work_tree
    True if the cwd is inside the associated working tree (if there
    is one), false otherwise.

(3) is_inside_git_dir
    True if the cwd is inside the git directory, false otherwise.
    Before this patch is_inside_git_dir was always true for bare
    repositories.

When setup_gdg finds a repository git_config(git_default_config) is
always called.  This ensure that is_bare_repository makes use of
core.bare and does not guess even though core.bare is specified.

inside_work_tree and inside_git_dir are set if setup_gdg finds a
repository.  The is_inside_work_tree and is_inside_git_dir functions
will die if they are called before a successful call to setup_gdg.
