50fd9bd843 diff options: Introduce --ignore-submodules
The new option --ignore-submodules can now be used to ignore changes in
submodules.

Why?  Sometimes it is not interesting when a submodule changed.

For example, when reordering some commits in the superproject, a dirty
submodule is usually totally uninteresting.  So we will use this option
in git-rebase to test for a dirty working tree.

cd676a5136 diff --relative: output paths as relative to the current subdirectory
This adds --relative option to the diff family.  When you start
from a subdirectory:

        $ git diff --relative

shows only the diff that is inside your current subdirectory,
and without $prefix part.  People who usually live in
subdirectories may like it.

There are a few things I should also mention about the change:

 - This works not just with diff but also works with the log
   family of commands, but the history pruning is not affected.

   In other words, if you go to a subdirectory, you can say:

        $ git log --relative -p

   but it will show the log message even for commits that do not
   touch the current directory.  You can limit it by giving
   pathspec yourself:

        $ git log --relative -p .

   This originally was not a conscious design choice, but we
   have a way to affect diff pathspec and pruning pathspec
   independently.  IOW "git log --full-diff -p ." tells it to
   prune history to commits that affect the current subdirectory
   but show the changes with full context.  I think it makes
   more sense to leave pruning independent from --relative than
   the obvious alternative of always pruning with the current
   subdirectory, which would break the symmetry.

 - Because this works also with the log family, you could
   format-patch a single change, limiting the effect to your
   subdirectory, like so:

        $ cd gitk-git
        $ git format-patch -1 --relative 911f1eb

   But because that is a special purpose usage, this option will
   never become the default, with or without repository or user
   preference configuration.  The risk of producing a partial
   patch and sending it out by mistake is too great if we did
   so.

 - This is inherently incompatible with --no-index, which is a
   bolted-on hack that does not have much to do with git
   itself.  I didn't bother checking and erroring out on the
   combined use of the options, but probably I should.

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*?)(\[(?P<attrlist>.*?)\])=

 # 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.

72909befaa Add diff-option --ext-diff
To prevent funky games with external diff engines, git-log and
friends prevent external diff engines from being called. That makes
sense in the context of git-format-patch or git-rebase.

However, for "git log -p" it is not so nice to get the message
that binary files cannot be compared, while "git diff" has no
problems with them, if you provided an external diff driver.

With this patch, "git log --ext-diff -p" will do what you expect,
and the option "--no-ext-diff" can be used to override that
setting.
