9e1f0a85c6 documentation: move git(7) to git(1)
As the "git" man page describes the "git" command at the end-user
level, it seems better to move it to man section 1.

90b22907f2 Documentation: clarify use of .git{ignore,attributes} versus .git/info/*
gitignore patterns can be read from three different
files, while gitattributes can come from two files. Let's
provide some hints to the user about the differences and how
they are typically used.

Suggested by Toby Corkindale, but gratuitously reworded by Jeff King.

d6b8fc303b gitignore(5): Allow "foo/" in ignore list to match directory "foo"
A pattern "foo/" in the exclude list did not match directory
"foo", but a pattern "foo" did.  This attempts to extend the
exclude mechanism so that it would while not matching a regular
file or a symbolic link "foo".  In order to differentiate a
directory and non directory, this passes down the type of path
being checked to excluded() function.

A downside is that the recursive directory walk may need to run
lstat(2) more often on systems whose "struct dirent" do not give
the type of the entry; earlier it did not have to do so for an
excluded path, but we now need to figure out if a path is a
directory before deciding to exclude it.  This is especially bad
because an idea similar to the earlier CE_UPTODATE optimization
to reduce number of lstat(2) calls would by definition not apply
to the codepaths involved, as (1) directories will not be
registered in the index, and (2) excluded paths will not be in
the index anyway.

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.

cedb8d5d33 Create a new manpage for the gitignore format, and reference it elsewhere
Only git-ls-files(1) describes the gitignore format in detail, and it does so
with reference to git-ls-files options.  Most users don't use the plumbing
command git-ls-files directly, and shouldn't have to look in its manpage for
information on the gitignore format.

Create a new manpage gitignore(5) (Documentation/gitignore.txt), and factor
out the gitignore documentation into that file, changing it to refer to
.gitignore and $GIT_DIR/info/exclude as used by porcelain commands.  Reference
gitignore(5) from other relevant manpages and documentation.  Remove
now-redundant information on exclude patterns from git-ls-files(1), leaving
only information on how git-ls-files options specify exclude patterns and what
precedence they have.
