Asciidoc configuration:

This default regex now matches explicit values, and unfortunately in this
case gitlink was being matched by just 'link', causing the wrong inline
macro template to be applied. By renaming the macro, we can avoid being
matched by the wrong regex.

It's important to remember that git doesn't really allowing "editing" or
"modifying" commits, only replacing them by new commits. Redo some of
the language to make this clearer.

We should mention the use of the "..." syntax for git-diff here. The
note about the difference between diff and the combined output of
git-format-patch then no longer fits so well, so remove it. Add a
reference to the git-format-patch[1] manpage.

This commit adds a discussion of the challenge of bisecting
merge commits to the user manual. The original author is
Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>, who posted the text to
the mailing list <http://marc.info/?l=git&m=119403257315527&w=2>.
His email was adapted for the manual.
The discussion is added to "Rewriting history and maintainig
patch series". The text added requires good understanding of
merging and rebasing. Therefore it should not be placed too
early in the manual. Right after the section on "Problems with
rewriting history", the discussion of bisect gives another reason
for linearizing as much of the history as possible.
The text includes suggestions and fixes by
Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> and
Benoit Sigoure <tsuna@lrde.epita.fr>.

Junio screwed up when applying the previous round of the patch;
rewording from "previous" to "old" does make the description
clearer.
Also revert the rewording from head to branch. The description
is talking about the branch's tip commit and using the word head
is clearer.
Based on input from Sergei and Bruce.

If I'm handed a file, then it typically lives outside the
working directory. git-log only operates on in-tree files,
so the first 'filename' should be an in-tree one, or it should
look at all files. This patch does the latter, so it would
also find renamed files. However, it is also slower.

The scripts taken from Tony Luck's howto assume all refs can be found
under .git/refs, but this is not necessarily true, especially since
git-gc runs git-pack-refs.
Also add a note warning of this in the chapter that introduces refs, and
fix the same incorrect assumption in one other spot.

Rewrite the introduction. Rewrite each section completely to make them
work in the new order, to add some examples, and to move plumbing

The descriptions of the various object types should all be a subsection
of the "Object Database" section.
I cribbed most of this chapter from the README (now core-intro.txt and
git(7)), because there's stuff in there people need to know and I was
too lazy to rewrite it. The audience isn't quite right, though--the
chapter is a mixture of user- and developer- level documentation that
isn't as appropriate now as it was originally.
So, reserve this chapter for stuff users need to know, and move the
source code introduction into a new "git hacking" chapter where we'll
also move any hacker-only technical details.

The immediate motivation for writing this section was to explain the
various places ignore patterns could be used. However, I still think
.gitignore is the case most people will want to learn about first. It
also makes it a bit more concrete to introduce ignore patterns in the
context of .gitignore first. And the existance of gitignore(5) relieves
the pressure to explain it all here.
So, stick to the .gitignore example, with only a brief mention of the
others, explain the syntax only by example, and leave the rest to
gitignore(5).

The git gui project seems to be still in early stages, but at a point
where it's worth mentioning as an alternative way of creating commits.
One feature of interest is the ability to manipulate individual diff
hunks. However, people have found that feature not to be easily
discoverable from the user-interface. Pending some ui improvements, a
parenthetical hint here may help.
(Thanks to Steffen Prohask and Junio Hamano for suggesting the
language.)

Recently a user on the mailing list complained that they'd read the
manual but couldn't figure out how to keep a couple private repositories
in sync. They'd tried using push, and were surprised by the effect.
Add a little text in an attempt to make it clear that:
- Pushing to a branch that is checked out will have odd results.
- It's OK to synchronize just using pull if that's simpler.

- "if you want" is nicer as "if you wish"
