d56651c0ef Don't allow combination of -g and --reverse as it doesn't work
The --walk-reflogs logic and the --reverse logic are completely
incompatible with one another.  Attempting to use both at the same
time leads to confusing results that sometimes violates the user's
formatting options or ignores the user's request to see the reflog
message and timestamp.

Unfortunately the implementation of both of these features is glued
onto the side of the revision walking machinary in such a way that
they are probably not going to be easy to make them compatible with
each other.  Rather than offering the user confusing results we are
better off bailing out with an error message until such a time as
the implementations can be refactored to be compatible.

8e64006eee Teach revision machinery about --no-walk
The flag "no_walk" is present in struct rev_info since a long time, but
so far has been in use exclusively by "git show".

With this flag, you can see all your refs, ordered by date of the last
commit:

$ git log --abbrev-commit --pretty=oneline --decorate --all --no-walk

which is extremely helpful if you have to juggle with a lot topic
branches, and do not remember in which one you introduced that uber
debug option, or simply want to get an overview what is cooking.

(Note that the "git log" invocation above does not output the same as

 $ git show --abbrev-commit --pretty=oneline --decorate --all --quiet

 since "git show" keeps the alphabetic order that "--all" returns the
 refs in, even if the option "--date-order" was passed.)

For good measure, this also adds the "--do-walk" option which overrides
"--no-walk".

967506bbbd Documentation: quote {non-attributes} for asciidoc
Asciidoc treats {foo} as an attribute to be substituted; if
'foo' doesn't exist as an attribute, then the entire line
gets dropped. When the literal {foo} is desired, \{foo} is
required.

The exceptions to this rule are:
  - inside literal blocks
  - if the 'foo' contains non-alphanumeric characters (e.g.,
    {foo|bar} is assumed not to be an attribute)

(--pretty and --encoding) in new file Documentation/pretty-options.txt

git-diff-tree(1).  Those manpages now include pretty options in the

all options.

457f08a030 git-rev-list: add --bisect-vars option.
This adds --bisect-vars option to rev-list.  The output is suitable
for `eval` in shell and defines five variables:

 - bisect_rev is the next revision to test.
 - bisect_nr is the expected number of commits to test after
   bisect_rev is tested.
 - bisect_good is the expected number of commits to test
   if bisect_rev turns out to be good.
 - bisect_bad is the expected number of commits to test
   if bisect_rev turns out to be bad.
 - bisect_all is the number of commits we are bisecting right now.

The documentation text was partly stolen from Johannes
Schindelin's patch.

5d1faf8791 Move --pretty options into Documentation/pretty-formats.txt
Asciidoc-include it into the manuals for programs that use the
--pretty command-line option, for consistency among the docs.

This describes all the pretty-formats currently listed in the cmit_fmt
enum in commit.h, and also briefly describes the presence and format
of the 'Merge: ' line in some pretty formats.

There's a hedge that limiting your view of history can affect what
goes in the Merge: line, and that --abbrev/--no-abbrev do nothing to
the 'raw' format.

0d2c9d67d9 Add '...' operator for revisions
'A...B' is a shortcut for 'A B --not $(git-merge-base --all A B)'.
This XOR-like operation is called symmetric difference in set
theory.

The symbol '...' has been chosen because it's rather similar to the
existing '..' operator and the somewhat more natural caret ('^') is
already taken.

The fixes focuses on improving the HTML output. Most noteworthy:

 - Fix the Makefile to also make various *.html files depend on

 - Consistently use 'NOTE: ...' instead of '[ ... ]' for additional

 - 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.
