This patch adds an asciidoc version of the "Fighting regressions with
git bisect" article that the author wrote for the Linux-Kongress
2009 (http://www.linux-kongress.org/2009).
This paper might be interesting to people who want to learn as much as
possible about "git bisect" from a single document.
The slides of the related presentation are available at:
http://www.linux-kongress.org/2009/slides/fighting_regressions_with_git_bisect_christian_couder.pdf
But the Linux Kongress people will not publish this paper online because
they print the papers on their UpTimes magazine
(http://www.lob.de/isbn/978-3-86541-358-1). But they don't take away the
rights of the author (which is very nice), so I have the right to publish
it.

The docbook/xmlto toolchain insists on quoting ' as \'. This does
achieve the quoting goal, but modern 'man' implementations turn the
apostrophe into a unicode "proper" apostrophe (given the right
circumstances), breaking code examples in many of our manpages.
Quote them as \(aq instead, which is an "apostrophe quote" as per the
groff_char manpage.
Unfortunately, as Anders Kaseorg kindly pointed out, this is not
portable beyond groff, so we add an extra Makefile variable GNU_ROFF
which you need to enable to get the new quoting.
Thanks also to Miklos Vajna for documentation.

asciidoc 8.4.1 changed the semantics of inline backtick quoting so
that they disable parsing of inline constructs, i.e.,
Input: `{plus}`
Pre 8.4.1: +
Post 8.4.1: {plus}
Fix this by defining the asciidoc attribute 'no-inline-literal'
(which, per the 8.4.1 changelog, is the toggle to return to the old
behaviour) when under ASCIIDOC8.

With this change, the "spurious .sp" suppression XSLT code is
disabled by default. It can be enabled by defining
DOCBOOK_SUPPRESS_SP.
The "spurious .sp" XSLT fragment was used to work around a bug
first released in docbook-xsl 1.69.1. Modern versions of
docbook-xsl are negatively affected by the code (some empty lines
are omitted from manpage output; see
<http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/115302>).
The key revisions in the docbook SVN repo seem to be 5144 (before
docbook-xsl 1.69.1) and 6359 (before docbook-xsl 1.71.1).

This allows manpages viewed on a tty to render inline literal
text in a manner that is distinct from the surrounding text.
The initial implementation (pre-mailing-list) of this patch
included a conditional variant of the XSLT code in
manpage-base.xsl and use xmlto's --stringparam option to
optionally enable the functionality. It turns out that
--stringparam is broken in all versions of xmlto except for the
pre-release, SVN version. Since xmlto is a shell script the patch
to fix it is simple enough, but I instead opted to use xmlto's
"module" functionality.

This patch aims to make it clear that the affected asciidoc

"makeinfo" failed to generate gitman.info from gitman.texi input file
because the combined manual page file contains several nodes with the
same name (DESCRIPTION, OPTIONS, SEE ALSO etc.). An Info document should
contain unique node names.
This patch creates a simple (read: ugly) work-around by suppressing the
validation of the final Info file. Jumping to nodes in the Info document
still works but they are not very useful. Common man-page headings like
DESCRIPTION and OPTIONS appear in the Info node list and they point to
the man page where they appear first (that is git-add currently).
Also, this patch adds directory-entry information for Info document to
make the document appear in the top-level Info directory.

I was able to solve this problem with this patch, which adds a XSL file
used specifically for DOCBOOK_XSL_172=YesPlease and where dots and
backslashes are escaped properly so they won't be substituted to the
wrong thing further down the "DocBook XSL pipeline". Doing the escaping
in the existing callout.xsl breaks v1.70.1. Hopefully v1.73 will end
this part of the manpage nightmare.

so new target to do that is added to "Documentation/Makefile".
The browser to use can be configured using the "web.browser"

From version 1.72 it will replace all dots in roff requests with U+2302
("house" character), and add escaping in output for all instances of dot
that are not in roff requests. This caused the ".ft" hack forcing
monospace font in listingblocks to end up as "\&.ft" and being visible
in the resulting man page.
The fix adds a DOCBOOK_XSL_172 build variable that will disable the
hack. To allow this variable to be defined in config.mak it also moves
build variable handling below the inclusion of config.mak.

The "Discussion" section has a lot of useful information, but is a
little wordy, especially for an already-long man page, and is designed
for an audience more of potential git hackers than users, which probably
doesn't make as much sense as git matures. Also, I (perhaps foolishly)
forked a version in the user manual, which has been significantly
rewritten in an attempt to address some of the above problems.
So, remove this section and replace it by a (very terse) summary of the
original material--my attempt at the World's Shortest Git Overview--and
a reference to the appropriate chapter of the user manual. It's
unfortunate to remove something that's been in this place for a long

we'll want to do this some day anyway.

These patches use docbook2x in order to create an info version of the
git user manual. No existing Makefile targets (including "all") are
touched, so you need to explicitly say
make info
sudo make install-info
to get git.info created and installed. If the info target directory
does not already contain a "dir" file, no directory entry is created.
This facilitates $(DESTDIR)-based installations. The same could be
achieved with
sudo make INSTALL_INFO=: install-info
explicitly.
perl is used for patching up sub-par file and directory information in
the Texinfo file. It would be cleaner to place the respective info
straight into user-manual.txt or the conversion configurations, but I
find myself unable to find out how to do this with Asciidoc/Texinfo.

Only git-ls-files(1) describes the gitignore format in detail, and it does so

.gitignore and $GIT_DIR/info/exclude as used by porcelain commands. Reference
gitignore(5) from other relevant manpages and documentation. Remove

The goals are:
- Readable from beginning to end in order without having read
any other git documentation beforehand.
- Helpful section names and cross-references, so it's not too
hard to skip around some if you need to.
- Organized to allow it to grow much larger (unlike the
tutorials)
It's more liesurely than tutorial.txt, but tries to stay focused on
practical how-to stuff. It adds a discussion of how to resolve merge
conflicts, and partial instructions on setting up and dealing with a
public repository.
I've lifted a little bit from "branching and merging" (e.g., some of the
discussion of history diagrams), and could probably steal more if that's
OK. (Similarly anyone should of course feel free to reuse bits of this
if any parts seem more useful than the whole.)
There's a lot of detail on managing branches and using git-fetch, just
because those are essential even to people needing read-only access
(e.g., kernel testers). I think those sections will be much shorter
once the new "git remote" command and the disconnected checkouts are
taken into account.
I do feel bad about adding yet another piece of documentation, but I we
need something that goes through all the basics in a logical order, and
I wasn't seeing how to grow the tutorials into that.

Documentation/Makefile spent a lot of time to generate include
dependencies, which was quite noticeable especially during "make clean".
Rewrite it to generate just a single dependency file.

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.

Randal L. Schwartz noticed that 'make install' does not rebuild what
is installed. Make the 'install' rule depend on 'man'.
I noticed also 'touch' of the source files were used to express include
dependencies, which is a no-no. Rewrite it to do dependencies properly,
and add missing include dependencies while we are at it.

Introduce an asciidoc.conf file with the purpose of adding a gitlink:
macro which will improve the manpage output.
Original cogito patch by Jonas Fonseca <fonseca@diku.dk>;
asciidoc.conf from that patch was further enhanced to use the proper
DocBook tag <citerefentry> for references to man pages.
