Use the {asterisk} entity to avoid mistreating the asterisks

for bold text.
From a quick search with 'git grep -e "\*.*\*"', this seems to
be the last example of this particular formatting problem.

On Debian-based distributions, Chromium the browser is available under
the name chromium-browser rather than chromium, to prevent conflicts
with the Chromium B.S.U. game.
Look for chromium-browser first when setting the path for chromium, and
also add chromium-browser as a supported browser name. Document the
dual-name support, and mention the dual-name support for

We really shouldn't be using these funny /dev/* files that did not exist
in V7 UNIX in our tests when we do not have to.
Output from
$ git grep -n -e /dev/ --and --not -e /dev/null t/
tells us that, aside from use of /dev/urandom in apache.conf used in http
tests, "dd if=/dev/stdin" added recently to t/t9300-fast-import.sh are the
only offenders, and "dd" reads from the standard input by default, so
removing them should be straightforward.

The manual pages of cherry-pick and revert had examples with two revisions
on the same line in the examples section, that looked like this:
git cherry-pick master~4 master~2::
Unfortunately, this is taken as a mark-up to make the part between two
tildes, "4 master", subscript. Use {tilde} to make it explicit that we
do want ~ characters in these places (backslash does not help).

A new whitespace "rule" is added that sets the tab width to use for
whitespace checks and fix-ups and replaces the hard-coded constant 8.
Since the setting is part of the rules, it can be set per file using
.gitattributes.
The new configuration is backwards compatible because older git versions
simply ignore unknown whitespace rules.

When the whitespace rule tab-in-indent is enabled, apply --whitespace=fix
replaces tabs by the appropriate amount of blanks. The code used
"dst->len % 8" as the criterion to stop adding blanks. But it forgot that
dst holds more than just the current line. Consequently, the modulus was
computed correctly only for the first added line, but not for the second
and subsequent lines. Fix it.

The "[add] ignore-errors" tweakable introduced by v1.5.6-rc0~30^2 (Add
a config option to ignore errors for git-add, 2008-05-12) does not
follow the usual convention for naming values in the git configuration
file.
What convention? Glad you asked.
The section name indicates the affected subsystem.
The subsection name, if any, indicates which of
an unbound set of things to set the value for.
The variable name describes the effect of tweaking
this knob.
The section and variable names can be broken into
words using bumpyCaps in documentation as a hint to
the reader. These word breaks are not significant
at the level of code, since the section and variable
names are not case sensitive.
The name "add.ignore-errors" includes a dash, meaning a naive
configuration file like
[add]
ignoreErrors
does not have any effect. Avoid such confusion by renaming to the
more consistent add.ignoreErrors, but keep the old version for
backwards compatibility.

New objects written by fast-import are not available immediately.
Until a checkpoint has been started and finishes writing the pack
index, any new blobs will not be accessible using standard git tools.
So introduce a new way to access them: a "cat-blob" command in the
command stream requests for fast-import to print a blob to stdout or a
file descriptor specified by the argument to --cat-blob-fd. The value
for cat-blob-fd cannot be specified in the stream because that would
be a layering violation: the decision of where to direct a stream has
to be made when fast-import is started anyway, so we might as well
make the stream format is independent of that detail.
Output uses the same format as "git cat-file --batch".
Thanks to Sverre Rabbelier and Sam Vilain for guidance in designing
the protocol.

The "feature" command allows streams to specify options for the import
that must not be ignored. Logically, they are part of the stream,
even though technically most supported features are synonyms to
command-line options.
Make this more obvious by being more explicit about how the analogy
between most "feature" commands and command-line options works. Treat
the feature (import-marks) that does not fit this analogy separately.

Matching index entries against an excludes file currently has two
problems.
First, there's no function to do it. Code paths (like sparse
checkout) that wanted to try it would iterate over index entries and
for each index entry pass that path to excluded_from_list(). But that
is not how excluded_from_list() works; one is supposed to feed in each
ancester of a path before a given path to find out if it was excluded
because of some parent or grandparent matching a
bigsubdirectory/
pattern despite the path not matching any .gitignore pattern directly.
Second, it's inefficient. The excludes mechanism is supposed to let
us block off vast swaths of the filesystem as uninteresting; separately
checking every index entry doesn't fit that model.
Introduce a new function to take care of both these problems. This
traverses the index in depth-first order (well, that's what order the
index is in) to mark un-excluded entries.
Maybe some day the in-core index format will be restructured to make
this sort of operation easier. Or maybe we will want to try some
binary search based thing. The interface is simple enough to allow
all those things. Example:
clear_ce_flags(the_index.cache, the_index.cache_nr,
CE_CANDIDATE, CE_CLEARME, exclude_list);
would clear the CE_CLEARME flag on all index entries with
CE_CANDIDATE flag and not matched by exclude_list.
