c4458ecdc5 fast-export: Allow pruned-references in mark file
fast-export can fail because of some pruned-reference when importing a
mark file.

The problem happens in the following scenario:

    $ git fast-export --export-marks=MARKS master
    (rewrite master)
    $ git prune
    $ git fast-export --import-marks=MARKS master

This might fail if some references have been removed by prune
because some marks will refer to no longer existing commits.
git-fast-export will not need these objects anyway as they were no
longer reachable.

We still need to update last_numid so we don't change the mapping
between marks and objects for remote-helpers.
Unfortunately, the mark file should not be rewritten without lost marks
if no new objects has been exported, as we could lose track of the last
last_numid.

6cf378f0cb docs: stop using asciidoc no-inline-literal
In asciidoc 7, backticks like `foo` produced a typographic
effect, but did not otherwise affect the syntax. In asciidoc
8, backticks introduce an "inline literal" inside which markup
is not interpreted. To keep compatibility with existing
documents, asciidoc 8 has a "no-inline-literal" attribute to
keep the old behavior. We enabled this so that the
documentation could be built on either version.

It has been several years now, and asciidoc 7 is no longer
in wide use. We can now decide whether or not we want
inline literals on their own merits, which are:

  1. The source is much easier to read when the literal
     contains punctuation. You can use `master~1` instead
     of `master{tilde}1`.

  2. They are less error-prone. Because of point (1), we
     tend to make mistakes and forget the extra layer of
     quoting.

This patch removes the no-inline-literal attribute from the
Makefile and converts every use of backticks in the
documentation to an inline literal (they must be cleaned up,
or the example above would literally show "{tilde}" in the
output).

Problematic sites were found by grepping for '`.*[{\\]' and
examined and fixed manually. The results were then verified
by comparing the output of "html2text" on the set of
generated html pages. Doing so revealed that in addition to
making the source more readable, this patch fixes several
formatting bugs:

  - HTML rendering used the ellipsis character instead of
    literal "..." in code examples (like "git log A...B")

  - some code examples used the right-arrow character
    instead of '->' because they failed to quote

  - api-config.txt did not quote tilde, and the resulting
    HTML contained a bogus snippet like:

      <tt><sub></tt> foo <tt></sub>bar</tt>

    which caused some parsers to choke and omit whole
    sections of the page.

  - git-commit.txt confused ``foo`` (backticks inside a
    literal) with ``foo'' (matched double-quotes)

  - mentions of `A U Thor <author@example.com>` used to
    erroneously auto-generate a mailto footnote for
    author@example.com

  - the description of --word-diff=plain incorrectly showed
    the output as "[-removed-] and {added}", not "{+added+}".

  - using "prime" notation like:

      commit `C` and its replacement `C'`

    confused asciidoc into thinking that everything between
    the first backtick and the final apostrophe were meant
    to be inside matched quotes

  - asciidoc got confused by the escaping of some of our
    asterisks. In particular,

      `credential.\*` and `credential.<url>.\*`

    properly escaped the asterisk in the first case, but
    literally passed through the backslash in the second
    case.

7791a1d9b9 Documentation: use [verse] for SYNOPSIS sections
The SYNOPSIS sections of most commands that span several lines already
use [verse] to retain line breaks. Most commands that don't span
several lines seem not to use [verse]. In the HTML output, [verse]
does not only preserve line breaks, but also makes the section
indented, which causes a slight inconsistency between commands that
use [verse] and those that don't. Use [verse] in all SYNOPSIS sections
for consistency.

Also remove the blank lines from git-fetch.txt and git-rebase.txt to
align with the other man pages. In the case of git-rebase.txt, which
already uses [verse], the blank line makes the [verse] not apply to
the last line, so removing the blank line also makes the formatting
within the document more consistent.

While at it, add single quotes to 'git cvsimport' for consistency with
other commands.

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.

7f40ab0916 fast-export: Add a --full-tree option
This option adds symmetry with fast-import, enabling it to also work with
complete trees instead of just incremental changes.  It works by issuing a
'deleteall' directive with each commit and then listing the full set of
files that make up that commit, rather than just showing the list of files
that have changed since the (first) parent commit.  Note that this
functionality is automatically turned on when using --import-marks together
with path limiting in order to avoid dropping important but unchanged
files.

This functionality is desired when using hand-written filters along with
'fast-export | some-filter | fast-import' as it can be easier to write
<some-filter> in terms of complete trees than incremental changes.

We could avoid the need to add this option by simply always turning it on.
While the end result would be identical, it would slow things down slightly
by printing many more filenames per commit which goes somewhat against the
'fast' in 'fast-export'.

0b444cdb19 Documentation: spell 'git cmd' without dash throughout
The documentation was quite inconsistent when spelling 'git cmd' if it
only refers to the program, not to some specific invocation syntax:
both 'git-cmd' and 'git cmd' spellings exist.

The current trend goes towards dashless forms, and there is precedent
in 647ac70 (git-svn.txt: stop using dash-form of commands.,
2009-07-07) to actively eliminate the dashed variants.

Replace 'git-cmd' with 'git cmd' throughout, except where git-shell,
git-cvsserver, git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack, and
git-upload-archive are concerned, because those really live in the
$PATH.

79559f27be git fast-export: add --no-data option
When using git fast-export and git fast-import to rewrite the history
of a repository with large binary files, almost all of the time is
spent dealing with blobs.  This is extremely inefficient if all we want
to do is rewrite the commits and tree structure.  --no-data skips the
output of blobs and writes SHA-1s instead of marks, which provides a
massive speedup.

2d8ad46919 fast-export: Add a --tag-of-filtered-object option for newly dangling tags
When providing a list of paths to limit what is exported, the object that
a tag points to can be filtered out entirely.  This new switch allows
the user to specify what should happen to the tag in such a case.  The
default action, 'abort' will exit with an error message.  With 'drop', the
tag will simply be omitted from the output.  With 'rewrite', if the object
tagged was a commit, the tag will be modified to tag an alternate commit.
The alternate commit is determined by treating the original commit as the
"parent" of the tag and then using the parent rewriting algorithm of the
revision traversal machinery (related to the "--parents" option of "git
rev-list")

When no tagger was found (old Git produced tags like this),

Alternatively, you can pass the option --fake-missing-tagger, forcing

with a tag date of the beginning of (Unix) time in the case of a missing
tagger, so that fast-import is still able to import the result.

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.

This program dumps (parts of) a git repository in the format that
fast-import understands.

For clarity's sake, it does not use the 'inline' method of specifying
blobs in the commits, but builds the blobs before building the commits.

Since signed tags' signatures will not necessarily be valid (think
transformations after the export, or excluding revisions, changing
the history), there are 4 modes to handle them: abort (default),
ignore, warn and strip.  The latter just turns the tags into
unsigned ones.
