The "SECURITY" section of the gitnamespaces(7) man page described two
ways for a client to steal data from a server that wasn't intended to be
shared. Similar attacks can be performed by a server on a client, so
adapt the section to cover both directions and add it to the
git-fetch(1), git-pull(1), and git-push(1) man pages. Also add
references to this section from the documentation of server
configuration options that attempt to control data leakage but may not
be fully effective.

If rebase.autoStash configuration variable is set, there is no way to
override it for "git pull --rebase" from the command line.
Teach "git pull --rebase" the --[no-]autostash command line flag which
overrides the current value of rebase.autoStash, if set. As "git rebase"
understands the --[no-]autostash option, it's just a matter of passing
the option to underlying "git rebase" when "git pull --rebase" is called.

A couple of years ago, I found the need to collaborate on topic
branches that were rebased all the time, and I really needed to see
what I was rebasing when pulling, so I introduced an
interactively-rebasing pull.
The way builtin pull works, this change also supports the value
'interactive' for the 'branch.<name>.rebase' config variable, which
is a neat thing because users can now configure given branches for
interactively-rebasing pulls without having to type out the complete
`--rebase=interactive` option every time they pull.

While parsing the command-line arguments, git-pull stops parsing at the
first unrecognized option, assuming that any subsequent options are for
git-fetch, and can thus be kept in the shell's positional parameters
list, so that it can be passed to git-fetch via the expansion of "$@".
However, certain functions in git-pull assume that the positional
parameters do not contain any options:
* error_on_no_merge_candidates() uses the number of positional
parameters to determine which error message to print out, and will
thus print the wrong message if git-fetch's options are passed in as
well.
* the call to get_remote_merge_branch() assumes that the positional
parameters only contains the optional repo and refspecs, and will
thus silently fail if git-fetch's options are passed in as well.
* --dry-run is a valid git-fetch option, but if provided after any
git-fetch options, it is not recognized by git-pull and thus git-pull
will continue to run the merge or rebase.
Fix these bugs by teaching git-pull to parse git-fetch's options as
well. Add tests to prevent regressions.
This removes the limitation where git-fetch's options have to come after
git-merge's and git-rebase's options on the command line. Update the
documentation to reflect this.

The "also" sounds as if "preserve" does a rebase as an additional

this by omitting "also", and rewording the sentence a bit.

10eb64f5 (git pull manpage: don't include -n from fetch-options.txt,
2008-01-25) introduced a way to exclude some parts of included
source when building git-pull documentation, and later 409b8d82
(Documentation/git-pull: put verbosity options before merge/fetch
ones, 2010-02-24) attempted to use the mechanism to exclude some
parts of merge-options.txt when used from git-pull.txt.
However, the latter did not have an intended effect, because the
macro "git-pull" used to decide if the source is included in
git-pull documentation were defined a bit too late.
Define the macro before it is used to fix this.

The second illustration that shows the history after "git pull"
spelled the remote-tracking branch with "remotes/" prefix, which
is not necessary. Drop it.
To match the assumption that a remote-tracking branch is used to
keep track of the advancement of the master at the origin, update
the first illustration that shows the history before "git pull"
to show the distinction between the master currently at origin and
the stale origin/master remote-tracking branch.

If a user is working on master, and has merged in their feature branch, but now
has to "git pull" because master moved, with pull.rebase their feature branch
will be flattened into master.
This is because "git pull" currently does not know about rebase's preserve
merges flag, which would avoid this behavior, as it would instead replay just
the merge commit of the feature branch onto the new master, and not replay each
individual commit in the feature branch.
Add a --rebase=preserve option, which will pass along --preserve-merges to
rebase.
Also add 'preserve' to the allowed values for the pull.rebase config setting.

Since git-pull learned the --rebase option it has not just been about
merging changes from a remote repository (where "merge" is in the sense
of "git merge"). Change the description to use "integrate" instead of

Letting the "--rebase" option squat on the short-and-sweet single
letter option "-r" was an unintended accident and was not even
documented, but the short option seems to be already used in the
wild. Let's document it so that other options that begin with "r"
would not be tempted to steal it.

In asciidoc 7, backticks like `foo` produced a typographic
effect, but did not otherwise affect the syntax. In asciidoc
8, backticks introduce an "inline literal" inside which markup
is not interpreted. To keep compatibility with existing
documents, asciidoc 8 has a "no-inline-literal" attribute to
keep the old behavior. We enabled this so that the
documentation could be built on either version.
It has been several years now, and asciidoc 7 is no longer
in wide use. We can now decide whether or not we want
inline literals on their own merits, which are:
1. The source is much easier to read when the literal
contains punctuation. You can use `master~1` instead
of `master{tilde}1`.
2. They are less error-prone. Because of point (1), we
tend to make mistakes and forget the extra layer of
quoting.
This patch removes the no-inline-literal attribute from the
Makefile and converts every use of backticks in the
documentation to an inline literal (they must be cleaned up,
or the example above would literally show "{tilde}" in the
output).
Problematic sites were found by grepping for '`.*[{\\]' and
examined and fixed manually. The results were then verified
by comparing the output of "html2text" on the set of
generated html pages. Doing so revealed that in addition to
making the source more readable, this patch fixes several
formatting bugs:
- HTML rendering used the ellipsis character instead of
literal "..." in code examples (like "git log A...B")
- some code examples used the right-arrow character
instead of '->' because they failed to quote
- api-config.txt did not quote tilde, and the resulting
HTML contained a bogus snippet like:
<tt><sub></tt> foo <tt></sub>bar</tt>
which caused some parsers to choke and omit whole
sections of the page.
- git-commit.txt confused ``foo`` (backticks inside a
literal) with ``foo'' (matched double-quotes)
- mentions of `A U Thor <author@example.com>` used to
erroneously auto-generate a mailto footnote for
author@example.com
- the description of --word-diff=plain incorrectly showed
the output as "[-removed-] and {added}", not "{+added+}".
- using "prime" notation like:
commit `C` and its replacement `C'`
confused asciidoc into thinking that everything between
the first backtick and the final apostrophe were meant
to be inside matched quotes
- asciidoc got confused by the escaping of some of our
asterisks. In particular,
`credential.\*` and `credential.<url>.\*`
properly escaped the asterisk in the first case, but
literally passed through the backslash in the second
case.

Currently we either need to set branch.<name>.rebase for existing
branches if we'd like "git pull" to mean "git pull --rebase", or have
the forethought of setting "branch.autosetuprebase" before we create
the branch.
Introduce a "pull.rebase" option to globally configure "git pull" to
mean "git pull --rebase" for any branch.
This option will be considered at a lower priority than
branch.<name>.rebase, i.e. we could set pull.rebase=true and
branch.<name>.rebase=false and the latter configuration option would
win.

The SYNOPSIS sections of most commands that span several lines already
use [verse] to retain line breaks. Most commands that don't span
several lines seem not to use [verse]. In the HTML output, [verse]
does not only preserve line breaks, but also makes the section
indented, which causes a slight inconsistency between commands that
use [verse] and those that don't. Use [verse] in all SYNOPSIS sections
for consistency.
Also remove the blank lines from git-fetch.txt and git-rebase.txt to
align with the other man pages. In the case of git-rebase.txt, which
already uses [verse], the blank line makes the [verse] not apply to
the last line, so removing the blank line also makes the formatting
within the document more consistent.
While at it, add single quotes to 'git cvsimport' for consistency with
other commands.

Until now the --recurse-submodules option could only be used to either
fetch all populated submodules recursively or to disable recursion

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 current description in the pull man page does not say much more
than that “git pull” is fetch + merge. Though that is all a person
needs to know in the end, it would be useful to summarize a bit about
what those commands do for new readers.
Most of this description is taken from the “git merge” docs.
Now that we explain how to back out of a failed merge (reset --merge),
we can tone down the warning against that a bit.
Except, as Thomas noticed, there’s a risk with that because people
might read this version of the manpage online and then conclude that
it is safe to try a merge with uncommitted changes, only to find that
their “git reset” doesn't support --merge yet. Or worse, verify that
their git-reset has --merge by a quick test (1b5b465 is in 1.6.2) but
then find that it does not help with backing out of a merge (e11d7b5
is only in 1.7.0!). So keep the warning.
With clarifications from Ævar, Thomas, and Junio.

After 3f7a9b5 (Documentation/git-pull.txt: Add subtitles above included
option files, Thu Oct 22 2009), the -q/-v options were mentioned only
for the merge options section, giving the impression that git-fetch did
not take those arguments.
Follow 90e4311 (git-pull: do not mention --quiet and --verbose twice,
Mon Sep 7 2009) and hide -q/-v for merge options, while mentioning -q/-v
before the merge- and fetch-specific options.

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.

We do this for both git-merge and git-pull, so as to hopefully alert
(over)users of git-pull to the issue.

The "git pull" documentation has examples which follow an outdated
style. Update the examples to use "git merge" where appropriate and
move the examples to the corresponding manpages.
Furthermore,
- show that pull is equivalent to fetch and merge, which is still a
frequently asked question,
- explain the default fetch refspec.

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.

Unlike other manual pages (e.g. git-blame.txt), this used *NOTE:*
to show a side note headed with boldface string "NOTE". Use a paragraph
headed by [NOTE] like others instead.

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.

As the "git" man page describes the "git" command at the end-user
level, it seems better to move it to man section 1.
