The point of these sections is generally to:
1. Give credit where it is due.
2. Give the reader an idea of where to ask questions or
file bug reports.
But they don't do a good job of either case. For (1), they
are out of date and incomplete. A much more accurate answer
can be gotten through shortlog or blame. For (2), the
correct contact point is generally git@vger, and even if you
wanted to cc the contact point, the out-of-date and
incomplete fields mean you're likely sending to somebody
useless.
So let's drop the fields entirely from all manpages except
git(1) itself. We already point people to the mailing list
for bug reports there, and we can update the Authors section
to give credit to the major contributors and point to
shortlog and blame for more information.
Each page has a "This is part of git" footer, so people can
follow that to the main git manpage.

The documentation was quite inconsistent when spelling 'git cmd' if it
only refers to the program, not to some specific invocation syntax:
both 'git-cmd' and 'git cmd' spellings exist.
The current trend goes towards dashless forms, and there is precedent
in 647ac70 (git-svn.txt: stop using dash-form of commands.,
2009-07-07) to actively eliminate the dashed variants.
Replace 'git-cmd' with 'git cmd' throughout, except where git-shell,
git-cvsserver, git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack, and
git-upload-archive are concerned, because those really live in the
$PATH.

The names of git commands are not meant to be entered at the
commandline; they are just names. So we render them in italics,
as is usual for command names in manpages.
Using
doit () {
perl -e 'for (<>) { s/\`(git-[^\`.]*)\`/'\''\1'\''/g; print }'
}
for i in git*.txt config.txt diff*.txt blame*.txt fetch*.txt i18n.txt \
merge*.txt pretty*.txt pull*.txt rev*.txt urls*.txt
do
doit <"$i" >"$i+" && mv "$i+" "$i"
done
git diff

Following what appears to be the predominant style, format
names of commands and commandlines both as `teletype text`.
While we're at it, add articles ("a" and "the") in some
places, italicize the name of the command in the manual page
synopsis line, and add a comma or two where it seems appropriate.

Since the git-* commands are not installed in $(bindir), using
"git-command <parameters>" in examples in the documentation is
not a good idea. On the other hand, it is nice to be able to
refer to each command using one hyphenated word. (There is no
escaping it, anyway: man page names cannot have spaces in them.)
This patch retains the dash in naming an operation, command,
program, process, or action. Complete command lines that can
be entered at a shell (i.e., without options omitted) are
made to use the dashless form.
The changes consist only of replacing some spaces with hyphens
and vice versa. After a "s/ /-/g", the unpatched and patched
versions are identical.

The OPTIONS section of a documentation file contains a list
of the options a git command accepts.
Currently there are several variants to describe the case that
different options (almost) do the same in the OPTIONS section.
Some are:
-f, --foo::
-f|--foo::
-f | --foo::
But AsciiDoc has the special form:
-f::
--foo::
This patch applies this form to the documentation of the whole git suite,
and removes useless em-dash prevention, so \--foo becomes --foo.

Being able to say "git diff A B" outside a git repository and getting a
colourful version of "diff -u A B" may be nice, but such a cute hack
should not give bogus results to scripts that want to give two paths,
either or both of which happen to have been removed from the work tree,
to "git diff-files".

Asciidoc configuration:

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.

With this flag and given two paths, git-diff-files behaves as a GNU diff
lookalike (plus the git goodies like --check, colour, etc.). This flag
is also available in git-diff. It also works outside of a git repository.
In addition, if git-diff{,-files} is called without revision or stage
parameter, and with exactly two paths at least one of which is not tracked,
the default is --no-index.
So, you can now say
git diff /etc/inittab /etc/fstab
and it actually works!
This also unifies the duplicated argument parsing between cmd_diff_files()
and builtin_diff_files().

After thinking about it more, I realized that much of the change
I did on top of Linus' version does not make much sense. This
commit reverts it so that it by default shows diffs with stage0
paths or stage2 paths with working tree; the unmerged stage to
use can be overridden with -1/-2/-3 option (-2 is the default so
essentially is a no-op).
When the index file is unmerged, we are by definition in the
middle of a conflicting merge, and we should show the diff with
stage 2 by default. More importantly, paths without conflicts
are updated in the working tree and collapsed to stage0 in the
index, so showing diff with stage0 at the same time does not
hurt. In normal cases, stage0 entries should be in sync with
the working tree files and does not clutter the output. It even
helps the user to realize that the working tree has local
changes unrelated to the merge and remember to be careful not to
do a "git-commit -a" after resolving the conflicts.
When there is no unmerged entries, giving diff_unmerged_stage a
default value of 2 does not cause any harm, because it would not
be used anyway. So in all, always showing diff between stage0
paths and unmerged entries from a stage (defaulting to 2) is the
right thing to do, as Linus originally did.

While resolving conflicted merge, it was not easy to compare the
working tree file with unmerged index entries. This commit
introduces new options -1/-2/-3 (with synonyms --base, --ours,
and --theirs) to compare working tree files with specified
stages.
When none of these options are given, the command defaults to -2
if the index file is unmerged, otherwise it acts as before.
[jc: majorly butchered from the version Linus originally posted.]

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.

This patch updates diff documentation and usage strings:
- clarify the semantics of -R. It is not "output in reverse";
rather, it is "I will feed diff backwards". Semantically
they are different when -C is involved.
- describe -O in usage strings of diff-* brothers. It was
implemented, documented but not described in usage text.
Also it adds -O to diff-helper. Like -S (and unlike -M/-C/-B),
this option can work on sanitized diff-raw output produced by
the diff-* brothers. While we are at it, the call it makes to
diffcore is cleaned up to use the diffcore_std() like everybody
else, and the declaration for the low level diffcore routines
are moved from diff.h (public) to diffcore.h (private between
diff.c and diffcore backends).

A new diffcore filter diffcore-order is introduced. This takes
a text file each of whose line is a shell glob pattern. Patches
that match a glob pattern on an earlier line in the file are
output before patches that match a later line, and patches that
do not match any glob pattern are output last.
A typical orderfile for git project probably should look like
this:

Makefile

A new diffcore transformation, diffcore-break.c, is introduced.
When the -B flag is given, a patch that represents a complete
rewrite is broken into a deletion followed by a creation. This
makes it easier to review such a complete rewrite patch.
The -B flag takes the same syntax as the -M and -C flags to
specify the minimum amount of non-source material the resulting
file needs to have to be considered a complete rewrite, and
defaults to 99% if not specified.
As the new test t4008-diff-break-rewrite.sh demonstrates, if a
file is a complete rewrite, it is broken into a delete/create
pair, which can further be subjected to the usual rename
detection if -M or -C is used. For example, if file0 gets
completely rewritten to make it as if it were rather based on
file1 which itself disappeared, the following happens:
The original change looks like this:
file0 --> file0' (quite different from file0)
file1 --> /dev/null
After diffcore-break runs, it would become this:
file0 --> /dev/null
/dev/null --> file0'
file1 --> /dev/null
Then diffcore-rename matches them up:
file1 --> file0'
The internal score values are finer grained now. Earlier
maximum of 10000 has been raised to 60000; there is no user
visible changes but there is no reason to waste available bits.

A bug in the command line argument parsing code was making
pickaxe not to work at all in diff-cache and diff-files commands.

Update the diff-raw format as Linus and I discussed, except that
it does not use sequence of underscore '_' letters to express
nonexistence. All '0' mode is used for that purpose instead.
The new diff-raw format can express rename/copy, and the earlier
restriction that -M and -C _must_ be used with the patch format
output is no longer necessary. The patch makes -M and -C flags
independent of -p flag, so you need to say git-whatchanged -M -p
to get the diff/patch format.
Updated are both documentations and tests.

This steals the "pickaxe" feature from JIT and make it available
to the bare Plumbing layer. From the command line, the user
gives a string he is intersted in.
Using the diff-core infrastructure previously introduced, it
filters the differences to limit the output only to the diffs
between <src> and <dst> where the string appears only in one but
not in the other. For example:
$ ./git-rev-list HEAD | ./git-diff-tree -Sdiff-tree-helper --stdin -M
would show the diffs that touch the string "diff-tree-helper".
In real software-archaeologist application, you would typically
look for a few to several lines of code and see where that code
came from.
The "pickaxe" module runs after "rename/copy detection" module,
so it even crosses the file rename boundary, as the above
example demonstrates.

This introduces the diff-core, the layer between the diff-tree
family and the external diff interface engine. The calls to the
interface diff-tree family uses (diff_change and diff_addremove)
have not changed and will not change. The purpose of the
diff-core layer is to provide an infrastructure to transform the
set of differences sent from the applications, before sending
them to the external diff interface.
The recently introduced rename detection code has been rewritten
to use the diff-core facility. When applications send in
separate creates and deletes, matching ones are transformed into
a single rename-and-edit diff, and sent out to the external diff
interface as such.
This patch also enhances the rename detection code further to be
able to detect copies. Currently this happens only as long as
copy sources appear as part of the modified files, but there
already is enough provision for callers to report unmodified
files to diff-core, so that they can be also used as copy source
candidates. Extending the callers this way will be done in a
separate patch.
Please see and marvel at how well this works by trying out the
newly added t/t4003-diff-rename-1.sh test script.

This cleans up the way calls are made into the diff core from diff-tree
family and diff-helper. Earlier, these programs had "if
(generating_patch)" sprinkled all over the place, but those ugliness are
gone and handled uniformly from the diff core, even when not generating
patch format.
This also allowed diff-cache and diff-files to acquire -R
(reverse) option to generate diff in reverse. Users of
diff-tree can swap two trees easily so I did not add -R there.
[ Linus' note: I'll add -R to "diff-tree" too, since a "commit
diff" doesn't have another tree to switch around: the other
tree is always the parent(s) of the commit ]
Also -M<digits-as-mantissa> suggestion made by Linus has been
implemented.
Documentation updates are also included.

This rips out the rename detection engine from diff-helper and moves it
to the diff core, and updates the internal calling convention used by
diff-tree family into the diff core. In order to give the same option
name to diff-tree family as well as to diff-helper, I've changed the
earlier diff-helper '-r' option to '-M' (stands for Move; sorry but the
natural abbreviation 'r' for 'rename' is already taken for 'recursive').
Although I did a fair amount of test with the git-diff-tree with
existing rename commits in the core GIT repository, this should still be
considered beta (preview) release. This patch depends on the diff-delta
infrastructure just committed.
This implements almost everything I wanted to see in this series of
patch, except a few minor cleanups in the calling convention into diff
core, but that will be a separate cleanup patch.
