The --walk-reflogs logic and the --reverse logic are completely
incompatible with one another. Attempting to use both at the same
time leads to confusing results that sometimes violates the user's
formatting options or ignores the user's request to see the reflog
message and timestamp.
Unfortunately the implementation of both of these features is glued
onto the side of the revision walking machinary in such a way that
they are probably not going to be easy to make them compatible with
each other. Rather than offering the user confusing results we are
better off bailing out with an error message until such a time as
the implementations can be refactored to be compatible.

With this option git-log prints log message size
just before the corresponding message.
Porcelain tools could use this to speedup parsing
of git-log output.
Note that size refers to log message only. If also
patch content is shown its size is not included.
In case it is not possible to know the size upfront
size value is set to zero.

After vainly searching the Documentation for how to follow renames, I
finally broke down and grepped the source. It would appear that Linus
didn't add write and docs for this feature when he wrote it. The
following patch rectifies that, hopefully sparing future users from
resorting to the source code.

This uses "git-apply --whitespace=strip" to fix whitespace errors that have
crept in to our source files over time. There are a few files that need
to have trailing whitespaces (most notably, test vectors). The results
still passes the test, and build result in Documentation/ area is unchanged.

Split description of pretty formats into list of pretty options
(--pretty and --encoding) in new file Documentation/pretty-options.txt
and description of formats itself as a separate "PRETTY FORMATS"
section in pretty-formats.txt
While at it correct formatting a bit, to be better laid out in the
resulting manpages: git-rev-list(1), git-show(1), git-log(1) and
git-diff-tree(1). Those manpages now include pretty options in the
same place as it was before, and description of formats just after
all options.
Inspired by the split into two filesdocumentation for merge strategies:
Documentation/merge-options.txt and Documentation/merge-strategies.txt

The revision specification syntax (sometimes referred to as
SHA1-expressions) is accepted almost everywhere in Git by
almost every tool. Unfortunately it is only documented in
git-rev-parse.txt, and most users don't know to look there.

We say "this shows only the most often used ones"; so instead of
teaching --max-number=<n> form, list -<n> form which is much
easier to type.

Asciidoc-include it into the manuals for programs that use the
--pretty command-line option, for consistency among the docs.
This describes all the pretty-formats currently listed in the cmit_fmt
enum in commit.h, and also briefly describes the presence and format
of the 'Merge: ' line in some pretty formats.
There's a hedge that limiting your view of history can affect what
goes in the Merge: line, and that --abbrev/--no-abbrev do nothing to
the 'raw' format.

I don't think people really follow the links or think very abstractly at
all in the first place.
So I was thinking more of some explicit examples. I actually think every
command should have an example in the man-page, and hey, here's a patch to
start things off.
Of course, I'm not exactly "Mr Documentation", and I don't know that this
is the prettiest way to do this, but I checked that the resulting html and
man-page seems at least reasonable.
And hey, if the examples look like each other, that's just because I'm
also not "Mr Imagination".

As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch. The primary differences
since 0.99.6 are:
(1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not
have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if
something is implemented as a shell script or not.
(2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with
'index' if that is what they mean.
There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and
Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward
compatibility support is expected to be removed in the near
future.
