Pieter de Bie ceb4cacb42 Documentation/git-reset: don't mention --mixed for selected-paths reset
The option is accepted, but that is the only form selected-paths
variant of the reset command takes, so there is no point mentioning it.
And while we're at it, use the dashless git call.

I was able to solve this problem with this patch, which adds a XSL file
used specifically for DOCBOOK_XSL_172=YesPlease and where dots and
backslashes are escaped properly so they won't be substituted to the
wrong thing further down the "DocBook XSL pipeline". Doing the escaping
in the existing callout.xsl breaks v1.70.1. Hopefully v1.73 will end
this part of the manpage nightmare.

Brandon Casey d6cf61bfd4 close_lock_file(): new function in the lockfile API
The lockfile API is a handy way to obtain a file that is cleaned
up if you die().  But sometimes you would need this sequence to
work:

 1. hold_lock_file_for_update() to get a file descriptor for
    writing;

 2. write the contents out, without being able to decide if the
    results should be committed or rolled back;

 3. do something else that makes the decision --- and this
    "something else" needs the lockfile not to have an open file
    descriptor for writing (e.g. Windows do not want a open file
    to be renamed);

 4. call commit_lock_file() or rollback_lock_file() as
    appropriately.

This adds close_lock_file() you can call between step 2 and 3 in
the above sequence.

Jeff King 47ee06f122 Document the color.interactive semantics
There are two possible confusions with the color.interactive
description:

  1. the short name "interactive" implies that it covers all
     interactive commands; let's explicitly make it so, even
     though there are no other interactive commands which
     currently use it

  2. Not all parts of "git add --interactive" are controlled
     by color.interactive (specifically, the diffs require
     tweaking color.diff). So let's clarify that it applies
     only to displays and prompts.

 # Inline macros.

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.
