Jeff King bdfdaa4978 strbuf.h: integrate api-strbuf.txt documentation
Some of strbuf is documented as comments above functions,
and some is separate in Documentation/technical/api-strbuf.txt.
This makes it annoying to find the appropriate documentation.
We'd rather have it all in one place, which means all in the
text document, or all in the header.

Let's choose the header as that place. Even though the
formatting is not quite as pretty, this keeps the
documentation close to the related code.  The hope is that
this makes it easier to find what you want (human-readable
comments are right next to the C declarations), and easier
for writers to keep the documentation up to date.

This is more or less a straight import of the text from
api-strbuf.txt into C comments, complete with asciidoc
formatting. The exceptions are:

 1. All comments created in this way are started with "/**"
    to indicate they are part of the API documentation. This
    may help later with extracting the text to pretty-print
    it.

 2. Function descriptions do not repeat the function name,
    as it is available in the context directly below.  So:

      `strbuf_add`::

          Add data of given length to the buffer.

    from api-strbuf.txt becomes:

      /**
       * Add data of given length to the buffer.
       */
      void strbuf_add(struct strbuf *sb, const void *, size_t);

    As a result, any block-continuation required in asciidoc
    for that list item was dropped in favor of straight
    blank-line paragraph (since it is not necessary when we
    are not in a list item).

 3. There is minor re-wording to integrate existing comments
    and api-strbuf text. In each case, I took whichever
    version was more descriptive, and eliminated any
    redundancies. In one case, for strbuf_addstr, the api
    documentation gave its inline definition; I eliminated
    this as redundant with the actual definition, which can
    be seen directly below the comment.

 4. The functions in the header file are re-ordered to match
    the ordering of the API documentation, under the
    assumption that more thought went into the grouping
    there.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

	Git - the stupid content tracker

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.

 - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
   actually used by any common UNIX command.  The fact that it is a
   mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
 - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
   dictionary of slang.
 - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
   works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
 - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.

Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public
License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses,
compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus
Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.

Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.

See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".

CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).

Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.

The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read
Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission).
To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in
the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are
available at http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/,
http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.

The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that
list the current status of various development topics to the mailing
list.  The discussion following them give a good reference for
project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
