[PATCH] Add git-var a tool for reading interesting git variables. Sharing code between shell scripts and C is a challenge. The program git-var allows us to have a set of named values that a shell script can interrogate and a normal C program can simply call the functions that compute them. Allowing sharing when computing plain test values. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

git-var(1)
Fix up "make doc" Fix 'git-var.txt' and use "-b xhtml11" instead of "-b css-embedded" to make asciidoc 7.0.1 happy.

DESCRIPTION
-----------
Prints a git logical variable.
[PATCH] Random documentation fixes The fixes focuses on improving the HTML output. Most noteworthy: - Fix the Makefile to also make various *.html files depend on included files. - Consistently use 'NOTE: ...' instead of '[ ... ]' for additional info. - Fix ending '::' for description lists in OPTION section etc. - Fix paragraphs in description lists ending up as preformated text. - Always use listingblocks (preformatted text wrapped in lines with -----) for examples that span empty lines, so they are put in only one HTML block. - Use '1.' instead of '(1)' for numbered lists. - Fix linking to other GIT docs. - git-rev-list.txt: put option descriptions in an OPTION section.

variables of the git configuration file .git/config are listed
Deprecate usage of git-var -l for getting config vars list This has been an unfortunate sideway in the git API evolution. We use git-repo-config for all the other .git/config interaction so let's also use git-repo-config -l for the variable listing. Signed-off-by: Petr Baudis <pasky@suse.cz>
