This is just like --porcelain, except that we always output
the commit information for each line, not just the first
time it is referenced. This can make quick and dirty scripts
much easier to write; see the example added to the blame
documentation.

If user sets config.abbrev option, use it as if --abbrev was given. This
is the default value and user can override different abbrev length by
specifying the --abbrev=N command line option.

The point of these sections is generally to:
1. Give credit where it is due.
2. Give the reader an idea of where to ask questions or
file bug reports.
But they don't do a good job of either case. For (1), they
are out of date and incomplete. A much more accurate answer
can be gotten through shortlog or blame. For (2), the
correct contact point is generally git@vger, and even if you
wanted to cc the contact point, the out-of-date and
incomplete fields mean you're likely sending to somebody
useless.
So let's drop the fields entirely from all manpages except
git(1) itself. We already point people to the mailing list
for bug reports there, and we can update the Authors section
to give credit to the major contributors and point to
shortlog and blame for more information.
Each page has a "This is part of git" footer, so people can
follow that to the main git manpage.
Add a new option -e (or --show-email) to git-blame that will display
the author's email instead of name on each line. This option works
for both git-blame and git-annotate.

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.
This was introduced in 85af7929ee but
not documented outside the commit message.

The names of git commands are not meant to be entered at the
commandline; they are just names. So we render them in italics,
as is usual for command names in manpages.

Following what appears to be the predominant style, format
names of commands and commandlines both as `teletype text`.
While we're at it, add articles ("a" and "the") in some
places, italicize the name of the command in the manual page
synopsis line, and add a comma or two where it seems appropriate.

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.

The OPTIONS section of a documentation file contains a list
of the options a git command accepts.
Currently there are several variants to describe the case that
different options (almost) do the same in the OPTIONS section.
Some are:
-f, --foo::
-f|--foo::
-f | --foo::
But AsciiDoc has the special form:
-f::
--foo::
This patch applies this form to the documentation of the whole git suite,
and removes useless em-dash prevention, so \--foo becomes --foo.

Asciidoc configuration:

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.

When refactoring code to split one iteration of a too deeply
nested loop into a separate function, it inevitably makes the
indentation levels shallower (that's the sole point of such a
refactoring). With "git blame -w", you can ignore such
re-indentation and pass blame for such moved lines to the
parent.

Moved options that pertained to both git-blame and git-annotate to a
common file blame-options.txt.
builtin-blame.c: Removed --compatibility, --long, --time from the
short usage as they are not handled in the code.
Documentation/git-blame.txt: Removed common options to git-annotate.
Added documentation for --score-debug. Removed --compatibility.
Adjusted usage at top to not wrap on 80 columns.
Documentation/git-annotate.txt: Using common options blame-options.txt.
Documentation/blame-options.txt: Added -b note about associated config
option, added --root note about associated config option, added
documentation for --show-stats. Removed --long, --time, --rev-file as
those options do not really exist. Added documentation for -M/-C taking
an optional score argument for detection of moved lines.

Just make it take over blame's place. Documentation and command
