Some users expect that deleting a remote-tracking branch would prevent
fetch from creating it again, so be explcit about that it's not the case.
Also be a little more explicit about what fully merged means.

It's important to remember that git doesn't really allowing "editing" or

When the "--patch" option is supplied, the patch_update_cmd() function is
called bypassing the main_loop() and exits.
Seeing as builtin-add is the only caller of git-add--interactive we can
impose a strict requirement on the format of the arguments to avoid
possible ambiguity: an "--" argument must be used whenever any pathspecs
are passed, both with the "--patch" option and without it.

The HEAD@{...} syntax was documented in git-rev-parse manpage, which
is hard to find by someone looking for the documentation of porcelain.
git-reflog is probably the place where one expects to find this.
While I'm there, "git revlog show whatever" was also undocumented.

This commit changes the rules for resolving refspecs to match the
rules for resolving refs in rev-parse. git-rev-parse uses clear rules
to resolve a short ref to its full name, which are well documented.
The rules for resolving refspecs documented in git-send-pack were
less strict and harder to understand. This commit replaces them by
the rules of git-rev-parse.
The unified rules are easier to understand and better resolve ambiguous
cases. You can now push from a repository containing several branches
ending on the same short name.
Note, this may break existing setups. For example, "master" will no longer
resolve to "origin/master" even when there is no other "master" elsewhere.

This commit adds a discussion of the challenge of bisecting
merge commits to the user manual. The original author is
Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>, who posted the text to
the mailing list <http://marc.info/?l=git&m=119403257315527&w=2>.
His email was adapted for the manual.
The discussion is added to "Rewriting history and maintainig
patch series". The text added requires good understanding of
merging and rebasing. Therefore it should not be placed too
early in the manual. Right after the section on "Problems with
rewriting history", the discussion of bisect gives another reason
for linearizing as much of the history as possible.
The text includes suggestions and fixes by
Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> and
Benoit Sigoure <tsuna@lrde.epita.fr>.

Customize diff-options depending on particular command as follows,
mostly to make git-diff and git-format-patch manuals less confusing:
* git-format-patch:
- Mark --patch-with-stat as being the default.
- Change -p description so that it matches what it actually does and
so that it doesn't refer to absent "section on generating
patches".
* git-diff: mark -p as being the default.
* git-diff-index/git-diff-files/git-diff-tree: mark --raw as being
the default.

Junio screwed up when applying the previous round of the patch;
rewording from "previous" to "old" does make the description
clearer.
Also revert the rewording from head to branch. The description
is talking about the branch's tip commit and using the word head
is clearer.

From version 1.72 it will replace all dots in roff requests with U+2302
("house" character), and add escaping in output for all instances of dot
that are not in roff requests. This caused the ".ft" hack forcing
monospace font in listingblocks to end up as "\&.ft" and being visible
in the resulting man page.
The fix adds a DOCBOOK_XSL_172 build variable that will disable the
hack. To allow this variable to be defined in config.mak it also moves
build variable handling below the inclusion of config.mak.

Some uses of git-rev-list are to run it with --objects to see if
a range of objects between two or more commits is fully connected
or not. In such a case the caller doesn't care about the actual
object names or hash hints so formatting this data only for it to
be dumped to /dev/null by a redirect is a waste of CPU time. If
all the caller needs is the exit status then --quiet can be used
to bypass the commit and object formatting.
