Junio C Hamano 2839478774 Work around em-dash handling in newer AsciiDoc
Older versions of AsciiDoc used to literally pass double dashes when we
used them in our linkgit macros and manpage titles, but newer ones (the
issue was first reported with AsciiDoc 8.5.2) turn them into em dashes.

Define litdd (literal double-dash) custom attribute in asciidoc.conf to
work this around.  While we are at it, fix a few double-dashes (e.g. the
description of "project--devo--version" convention used by tla, among
other things) that used to be incorrectly written as em dashes in the body
text to also use this attribute.

git-mergetool{litdd}lib(1)
==========================
NAME
----
git-mergetool--lib - Common git merge tool shell scriptlets
SYNOPSIS
--------
'TOOL_MODE=(diff|merge) . "$(git --exec-path)/git-mergetool--lib"'
DESCRIPTION
-----------
This is not a command the end user would want to run. Ever.
This documentation is meant for people who are studying the
Porcelain-ish scripts and/or are writing new ones.
The 'git-mergetool{litdd}lib' scriptlet is designed to be sourced (using
`.`) by other shell scripts to set up functions for working
with git merge tools.
Before sourcing 'git-mergetool{litdd}lib', your script must set `TOOL_MODE`
to define the operation mode for the functions listed below.
'diff' and 'merge' are valid values.
FUNCTIONS
---------
get_merge_tool::
returns a merge tool.
get_merge_tool_cmd::
returns the custom command for a merge tool.
get_merge_tool_path::
returns the custom path for a merge tool.
run_merge_tool::
launches a merge tool given the tool name and a true/false
flag to indicate whether a merge base is present.
'$MERGED', '$LOCAL', '$REMOTE', and '$BASE' must be defined
for use by the merge tool.
