This patch adds support to archimport for remapping the branch
names to match those used in git more closely. This is useful
for projects that migrate to git (as opposed to users that want
to use git on Arch-based projects). For example, one can choose
an Arch branch name and call it "master".
The new command-line syntax works even if there is a colon in
a branch name, since only the part after the last colon is taken
to be the git name (git does not allow colons in branch names).
The new feature is implemented so that archives rotated every
year can also be remapped into a single git archive.

Most of the git-diff-* documentation used [<common diff options>]
instead of [--diff-options], so make that change in git-diff and
git-format-patch.
In addition, git-format-patch didn't include the meanings of the diff
options.

"Modifying" an old commit by checking it out, --amend'ing it, then

The generated user manual is rather hard to read thanks to the lack of
the css that's supposed to be included from docbook-xsl.css.
I'm totally ignorant of the toolchain; grubbing through xmlto and
related scripts, the easiest way I could find to ensure that the
generated html links to the stylesheet is by calling xsltproc directly.
Maybe there's some better way.

As Linus pointed out recently on the mailing list,

Fix git-gc usage note
Some file systems that can host git repositories and their working copies
do not support symbolic links. But then if the repository contains a symbolic
link, it is impossible to check out the working copy.
This patch enables partial support of symbolic links so that it is possible
to check out a working copy on such a file system. A new flag
core.symlinks (which is true by default) can be set to false to indicate
that the filesystem does not support symbolic links. In this case, symbolic
links that exist in the trees are checked out as small plain files, and
checking in modifications of these files preserve the symlink property in
the database (as long as an entry exists in the index).
Of course, this does not magically make symbolic links work on such defective
file systems; hence, this solution does not help if the working copy relies
on that an entry is a real symbolic link.

Adding dependencies on included files to the generated man pages is
wrong - includes are processed by asciidoc, therefore the intermediate
Docbook XML files really depend on included files. Because of these
wrong dependencies the man pages were not rebuilt properly if the
intermediate XML files were left in the tree.

To name a commit, you can now say
$ git rev-parse ':/Initial revision of "git"'
and it will return the hash of the youngest commit whose
commit message (the oneline) begins with the given prefix.
For future extension, a leading exclamation mark is treated
specially: if you want to match a commit message starting with
a '!', just repeat the exclamation mark. So, to match a commit
which starts with '!Hello World', use
$ git show ':/!!Hello World'
