I think that some of these uses of italics were meant to be
rendered in quotation marks, anyway.

Some manual pages use teletype font to set command names. We
change them to use italics, instead. This creates a visual
distinction between names of commands and command lines that
can be typed at the command line. It is also more consistent
with other man pages outside Git.
In this patch, the commands named are non-git commands like bash.

The names of git commands are not meant to be entered at the
commandline; they are just names. So we render them in italics,
as is usual for command names in manpages.
Using
doit () {
perl -e 'for (<>) { s/\`(git-[^\`.]*)\`/'\''\1'\''/g; print }'
}
for i in git*.txt config.txt diff*.txt blame*.txt fetch*.txt i18n.txt \
merge*.txt pretty*.txt pull*.txt rev*.txt urls*.txt
do
doit <"$i" >"$i+" && mv "$i+" "$i"
done
git diff
.

Following what appears to be the predominant style, format
names of commands and commandlines both as `teletype text`.
While we're at it, add articles ("a" and "the") in some
places, italicize the name of the command in the manual page
synopsis line, and add a comma or two where it seems appropriate.

With the conversion of HTML documentation to man pages
tutorial.html -> gittutorial (7)
tutorial-2.html -> gittutorial-2 (7)
cvs-migration.html -> gitcvs-migration (7)
diffcore.html -> gitdiffcore (7)
repository-layout.html -> gitrepository-layout (5)
hooks.html -> githooks (5)
glossary.html -> gitglossary (7)
core-tutorial.html -> gitcore-tutorial (7)
and the automatic update of references to these pages,
a little debris was left behind. We clear it away.

The OPTIONS section of a documentation file contains a list
of the options a git command accepts.
Currently there are several variants to describe the case that
different options (almost) do the same in the OPTIONS section.
Some are:
-f, --foo::
-f|--foo::
-f | --foo::
But AsciiDoc has the special form:
-f::
--foo::
This patch applies this form to the documentation of the whole git suite,
and removes useless em-dash prevention, so \--foo becomes --foo.

As the "git" man page describes the "git" command at the end-user
level, it seems better to move it to man section 1.

This patch renames the following documents and at the same time converts

This patch renames the following documents and at the same time converts
them to the man format:
core-tutorial.txt -> gitcore-tutorial.txt
glossary.txt -> gitglossary.txt
But as the glossary is included in the user manual and as the new
gitglossary man page cannot be included as a whole in the user manual,
the actual glossary content is now in its own "glossary-content.txt"
new file. And this file is included by both the user manual and the
gitglossary man page.
Other documents that reference the above ones are changed accordingly
and sometimes improved a little too.

Make git recognize a new environment variable that prevents it from
chdir'ing up into specified directories when looking for a GIT_DIR.
Useful for avoiding slow network directories.
For example, I use git in an environment where homedirs are automounted
and "ls /home/nonexistent" takes about 9 seconds. Setting
GIT_CEILING_DIRS="/home" allows "git help -a" (for bash completion) and
"git symbolic-ref" (for my shell prompt) to run in a reasonable time.

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.
