letting the shell expand fileglobs and having Git see the fileglob
to use as a pathspec.

The paragraph to encourage use of "--" in scripts belongs to the
bullet point that describes the behaviour for a command line without
the explicit "--" disambiguation; it is not a supporting explanation
for the entire bulletted list, and it is wrong to make it a separate
paragraph outside the list.

The built-in "binary" attribute macro expands to "-diff -text", so
that textual diff is not produced, and the contents will not go
through any CR/LF conversion ever. During a merge, it should also
choose the "binary" low-level merge driver, but it didn't.
Make it expand to "-diff -merge -text".

The (discouraged) -Xours/-Xtheirs modes of merge are supposed to
give a quick and dirty way to come up with a random mixture of
cleanly merged parts and punted conflict resolution to take contents
from one side in conflicting parts. These options however were only
passed down to the low level merge driver for text.
Teach the built-in binary merge driver to notice them as well.

All remote subcommands are spelled out words except 'rm'. 'rm', being a

Sometimes we build a set of similar command lines, differing
only in the final arguments (e.g., "fetch --multiple"). To
use argv_array for this, you have to either push the same
set of elements repeatedly, or break the abstraction by
manually manipulating the array's internal members.
Instead, let's provide a sanctioned "pop" function to remove
elements from the end.

When 'git log' is passed the --no-walk option, no revision walk takes
place, naturally. Perhaps somewhat surprisingly, however, the provided
revisions still get sorted by commit date. So e.g 'git log --no-walk
HEAD HEAD~1' and 'git log --no-walk HEAD~1 HEAD' give the same result
(unless the two revisions share the commit date, in which case they
will retain the order given on the command line). As the commit that
introduced --no-walk (8e64006 (Teach revision machinery about
--no-walk, 2007-07-24)) points out, the sorting is intentional, to
allow things like
git log --abbrev-commit --pretty=oneline --decorate --all --no-walk
to show all refs in order by commit date.
But there are also other cases where the sorting is not wanted, such
as
<command producing revisions in order> |
git log --oneline --no-walk --stdin
To accomodate both cases, leave the decision of whether or not to sort
up to the caller, by allowing --no-walk={sorted,unsorted}, defaulting
to 'sorted' for backward-compatibility reasons.

Currently, it will only do a checkout if the sha1 registered in the containing

Either end of revision range operator can be omitted to default to HEAD,
as in "origin.." (what did I do since I forked) or "..origin" (what did
they do since I forked). But the current parser interprets ".." as an
empty range "HEAD..HEAD", and worse yet, because ".." does exist on the
filesystem, we get this annoying output:
$ cd Documentation/howto
$ git log .. ;# give me recent commits that touch Documentation/ area.
fatal: ambiguous argument '..': both revision and filename
Use '--' to separate filenames from revisions
Surely we could say "git log ../" or even "git log -- .." to disambiguate,
but we shouldn't have to.

The current code tries to get a list of documented commands
by doing "ls Documentation/git*txt" and culling a bunch of
special cases from the result. Looking for "git-*.txt" would
be more accurate, but would miss a few commands like
"gitweb" and "gitk".
Fortunately, Documentation/Makefile already knows what this
list is, so we can just ask it. Annoyingly, we still have to
post-process its output a little, since make will print
extra cruft like "GIT-VERSION-FILE is up to date" to stdout.
Now that our list is accurate, we can remove all of the ugly
special-cases.

These commands were never added to the command-list. Adding
them makes "make check-docs" run without complaint.
While we're at it, let's capitalize the first letter of
their one-line summaries to match the rest of the git
manpages.
The credential-cache--daemon command is somewhat special. It
is already ignored by check-docs because it contains a "--",
marking it as a non-interesting implementation detail. It
is, in fact, documented, but since the documentation
basically just redirects you to a more appropriate command
anyway, let's explicitly omit it so it is not mentioned in
git(1).

When asciidoc converts a listing block like:
----------------------
$ git log --merge
----------------------
it marks it to be displayed in a monospace font. This works
fine when generating HTML output. However, when generating
docbook output, we override the expansion of a listingblock
to work around bugs in some versions of the docbook
toolchain. Our override did not mark the listingblock with
the "monospaced" class.
The main output that uses docbook as an intermediate format
is the manpages. We didn't notice any issue there because
the monospaced class seems to be ignored when generating
roff from the docbook manpages.
However, when generating texinfo to make info pages, docbook
does respect this class. The resulting texinfo output
properly uses "@example" blocks to display the listing in
this case. Besides possibly looking prettier in some texinfo
backends, one important effect is that the monospace font
suppresses texinfo's expansion of "--" and "---" into
en-dashes and em-dashes. With the current code, the example
above ends up looking like "git log -merge", which is
confusing and wrong.
