In ab2a1a32 Junio improved the reflog query logic to support
obtaining the n-th prior value of a ref, but this was never
documented in git-rev-parse. Now it is.

This is a shorthand for "<rev> --not <rev>^@", i.e. "include
this commit but exclude any of its parents".
When a new file $F is introduced by revision $R, this notation
can be used to find a copy-and-paste from existing file in the
parents of that revision without annotating the ancestry of the
lines that were copied from:
git pickaxe -f -C $R^! -- $F

Nobody should create ambiguous refs (i.e. have tag "foobar" and branch
"foobar" at the same time) that need to be disambiguated with these
rules to keep sanity, but the rules are there so document them.

Fixes a failure to build the git-rev-parse manpage, seen with
asciidoc 8.0.0
We would love to use nicer quoting $$~$$ but alas asciidoc 7
does not know about it. So use asciidoc.conf and define {tilde}
to be ~.

Its ambiguous to parse "master@2006-05-17 18:30:foo" when foo is
meant as a file name and ":30" is meant as 30 minutes past 6 pm.
Therefore all date specifications in a sha1 expression must now
appear within brackets and the ':' splitter used for the path name
in a sha1 expression ignores ':' appearing within brackets.

Extended sha1 expressions may now include date specifications
which indicate a point in time within the local repository's
history. If the ref indicated to the left of '@' has a log in
$GIT_DIR/logs/<ref> then the value of the ref at the time indicated
by the specification is obtained from the ref's log.

"git branch" uses "rev-parse --all" and becomes much too slow when
there are many tags (it scans all refs). Use the new "--branches"
option of rev-parse to speed things up.

When --show-prefix is useful, sometimes it is easier to cd up to
the toplevel of the tree. This is equivalent to:
git rev-parse --show-prefix | sed -e 's|[^/][^/]*|..|g'
but we do not have to invoke sed for that.

The usability magic were hidden in the source code without being
documented, and even the maintainer did not know about them ;-).

parse-remote and rev-parse gets full documentation. Add skeleton for
archimport. Link them from the main git(7) page. Also move git-daemon
and git-request-pull out of 'undocumented' section.

The text does not say anything interesting, but at least the
author list should reflect something close to reality.
