For example:
git format-patch --numbered-files --stdout --attach HEAD~~
will create two messages with files 1 and 2 attached respectively.
Without --attach/--inline but with --stdout, --numbered-files option
can be simply ignored, because we are not creating any file ourselves.

The existing text was very vague about what exactly it means
for difference to "contain" a change. This seems to cause
confusion on the mailing list every month or two.
To fix it we:
1. use "introduce or remove an instance of" instead of
"contain"
2. point the user to gitdiffcore(7), which contains a more
complete explanation

If literal text (asciidoc `...`) can be rendered in a differently from
normal text for each output format (man, HTML), then we do not need
extra quotes or other wrapping around inline literal text segments.
config.txt
Change '`...`' to `...`. In asciidoc, the single quotes provide
emphasis, literal text should be distintive enough.
Change "`...`" to `...`. These double quotes do not work if present
in the described config value, so drop them.
git-checkout.txt
Change "`...`" to `...` or `"..."`. All instances are command line
argument examples. One "`-`" becomes `-`. Two others are involve
curly braces, so move the double quotes inside the literal region to
indicate that they might need to be quoted on the command line of
certain shells (tcsh).
git-merge.txt
Change "`...`" to `...`. All instances are used to describe merge
conflict markers. The quotes should are not important.
git-rev-parse.txt
Change "`...`" to `...`. All instances are around command line
arguments where no in-shell quoting should be necessary.
gitcli.txt
Change `"..."` to `...`. All instances are around command line
examples or single command arguments. They do not semanticly belong
inside the literal text, and they are not needed outside it.
glossary-content.txt
user-manual.txt
Change "`...`" to `...`. All instances were around command lines.

As suggested by Junio, disallow the flags PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN and
PARSE_OPT_STOP_AT_NON_OPTION to be turned on at the same time, as a
value of an unknown option could be mistakenly classified as a
non-option, stopping the parser early. E.g.:
git cmd --known --unknown value arg0 arg1
The parser should have stopped at "arg0", but it already stops at
"value".
This patch makes parse_options() die if the two flags are used in
combination.

Add the config variable color.grep.external, which can be used to
switch on coloring of external greps. To enable auto coloring with
GNU grep, one needs to set color.grep.external to --color=always to
defeat the pager started by git grep. The value of the config
variable will be passed to the external grep only if it would
colorize internal grep's output, so automatic terminal detected
works. The default is to not pass any option, because the external
grep command could be a program without color support.
Also set the environment variables GREP_COLOR and GREP_COLORS to
pass the configured color for matches to the external grep. This
works with GNU grep; other variables could be added as needed.

Coloring matches makes them easier to spot in the output.
Add two options and two parameters: color.grep (to turn coloring on
or off), color.grep.match (to set the color of matches), --color
and --no-color (to turn coloring on or off, respectively).
The output of external greps is not changed.
This patch is based on earlier ones by Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy and

Add the following:
- git config value blame.date that expects one of the git log date
formats (e.g. relative,local,default,iso,...);
- git blame command line option --date expects one of the git
log date formats;
- documentation in blame-options.txt;
- git blame uses the appropriate date.c functions and enums to
make sense of the date format and provide appropriate data;
git blame continues to line up the output columns by padding the date
column up to the max width of the chosen date format.
The date format for git blame without both blame.date and --date continues
to be ISO for backwards compatibility.
git annotate ignores the date format specifiers and continues to uses the
ISO format, as before.

send-email violates the principle of least surprise by automatically
cc'ing additional recipients without confirming this with the user.
This patch teaches send-email a --confirm option. It takes the
following values:
--confirm=always always confirm before sending
--confirm=never never confirm before sending
--confirm=cc confirm before sending when send-email has
automatically added addresses from the patch to
the Cc list
--confirm=compose confirm before sending the first message when
using --compose. (Needed to maintain backwards
compatibility with existing behavior.)
--confirm=auto 'cc' + 'compose'
If sendemail.confirm is unconfigured, the option defaults to 'compose'
if any suppress-Cc related options have been used, otherwise it defaults
to 'auto'.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to introduce this patch such that it
helps new users without potentially annoying some existing users. We
attempt to mitigate the latter by:
* Allowing the user to set 'git config sendemail.confirm never'
* Allowing the user to say 'all' after the first prompt to not be
prompted on remaining emails during the same invocation.
* Telling the user about the 'sendemail.confirm' setting if it is
unconfigured whenever we prompt due to Cc before sending.
* Only prompting if no --suppress related options have been passed, as
using such an option is likely to indicate an experienced send-email
user.
There is a slight fib in message informing the user of the
sendemail.confirm setting and this is intentional. Setting 'auto'
differs from leaving sendemail.confirm unset in two ways: 1) 'auto'
obviously squelches the informational message; 2) 'auto' prompts when
the Cc list has been expanded even in the presence of a --suppress
related option, where leaving sendemail.confirm unset does not. This is
intentional to keep the message simple, and to avoid adding another
sendemail.confirm value ('auto-except-suppress'?).

The behavior of --verbose is unchanged, but uses a different state
variable internally, so that the meaning of verbose output may be
expanded without affecting the diffstat. This is also reflected in
the documentation.
The configuration option rebase.stat works the same was as merg.stat,
but the default is currently false.
