The logic for determining the upstream ref of a branch is
somewhat complex to perform in a shell script. This patch
provides a plumbing mechanism for scripts to access the C
logic used internally by git-status, git-branch, etc.
For example:
$ git for-each-ref \
--format='%(refname:short) %(upstream:short)' \
refs/heads/
master origin/master

With the --prune (or -p) option, git remote update will also prune
all the remotes that it fetches. Previously, you had to do a manual
git remote prune <remote> for each of the remotes you wanted to
prune, and this could be tedious with many remotes.
A single command will now update a set of remotes, and remove all
stale branches: git remote update -p [group]

Using "trunk" actually might be nice, but it doesn't currently work.

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).

Users were confused about the meaning and use of the --root option.
Notably, since 68c2ec7 (format-patch: show patch text for the root
commit, 2009-01-10), --root has nothing to do with showing the patch
text for the root commit any more.

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.

Move a couple of XSL parameters that act to silence
informational/warning messages generated when running xmlto from
manpage-1.72.xsl to manpage-base.xsl.
Since unused parameters are silently ignored, there is no problem
if some version of docbook-xsl does not know about these
parameters. The only problem might be if a version of docbook-xsl
uses the parameters for alternate functionality. Since both
parameters have fairly specific names such a situation is
unlikely.

It seems that the ability to use raw roff codes in asciidoc.conf
was eliminated by docbook-xsl 1.72.0 _and later_. Unlike the
1.72.0-specific XSLT problem, this behavior was not reverted in
later releases.
This patch aims to make it clear that the affected asciidoc
attribute (flag) can be reasonably used with docbook-xsl versions
other than 1.72.0.
Also, document which make variables should be set for various
versions of asciidoc and docbook-xsl.
