48bb914ed6 doc: drop author/documentation sections from most pages
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are out of date and incomplete.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wanted to cc the contact point, the out-of-date and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.

ca768288b6 Documentation: format full commands in typewriter font
Use `code snippet` style instead of 'emphasis' for `git cmd ...`
according to the following rules:

* The SYNOPSIS sections are left untouched.

* If the intent is that the user type the command exactly as given, it
  is `code`.
  If the user is only loosely referred to a command and/or option, it
  remains 'emphasised'.

7ddea13af2 ls-tree documentation: enhance notes on subdirectory and pathspec behaviour

b1889c36d8 Documentation: be consistent about "git-" versus "git "
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.

Asciidoc configuration:

 # Inline macros.
 # Backslash prefix required for escape processing.

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.

a5bbda8b7b Add an option to git-ls-tree to display also the size of blob
Add -l/--long option to git-ls-tree command, which displays
object size of a blob entry.  Object size is placed after
object id (left-justified with minimum width of 7 characters).
For non-blob entries `-' is used.

Rationale: for non-blob entries size of an object has no much
meaning, and is not very interesting.  Moreover, in planned
pack v4 tree objects would be constructed on demand, so tree
size would need to be calculated.

7b9b4c452c Update the git-ls-tree documentation
This patch aims to freshen up a bit the git-ls-tree documentation. It hints
that the list of paths are in fact patterns to be matched, explains the new
-t, --name-only and --name-status options, corrects the original autorship
information to refer to yours sincerely, corrects several grammar mistakes,
etc.

Since the documentation still deserves some significant work (at least
proper description of the pattern matching), I also added the stub notice.

6af1f0192f [PATCH] Rewrite ls-tree to behave more like "/bin/ls -a"
This is a complete rewrite of ls-tree to make it behave more
like what "/bin/ls -a" does in the current working directory.

Namely, the changes are:

 - Unlike the old ls-tree behaviour that used paths arguments to
   restrict output (not that it worked as intended---as pointed
   out in the mailing list discussion, it was quite incoherent),
   this rewrite uses paths arguments to specify what to show.

 - Without arguments, it implicitly uses the root level as its
   sole argument ("/bin/ls -a" behaves as if "." is given
   without argument).

 - Without -r (recursive) flag, it shows the named blob (either
   file or symlink), or the named tree and its immediate
   children.

 - With -r flag, it shows the named path, and recursively
   descends into it if it is a tree.

 - With -d flag, it shows the named path and does not show its
   children even if the path is a tree, nor descends into it
   recursively.

This is still request-for-comments patch.  There is no mailing
list consensus that this proposed new behaviour is a good one.

The patch to t/t3100-ls-tree-restrict.sh illustrates
user-visible behaviour changes.  Namely:

 * "git-ls-tree $tree path1 path0" lists path1 first and then
   path0.  It used to use paths as an output restrictor and
   showed output in cache entry order (i.e. path0 first and then
   path1) regardless of the order of paths arguments.

 * "git-ls-tree $tree path2" lists path2 and its immediate
   children but having explicit paths argument does not imply
   recursive behaviour anymore, hence paths/baz is shown but not
   paths/baz/b.
