fd5858b49b git.txt: fix list continuation
Remove a spurious empty line which prevented asciidoc from recognizing a
list continuation mark ('+'), so that it does not get output literally any
more.

0353a0c4ec remove doubled words, e.g., s/to to/to/, and fix related typos
I found that some doubled words had snuck back into projects from which
I'd already removed them, so now there's a "syntax-check" makefile rule in
gnulib to help prevent recurrence.

Running the command below spotted a few in git, too:

  git ls-files | xargs perl -0777 -n \
    -e 'while (/\b(then?|[iao]n|i[fst]|but|f?or|at|and|[dt])\s+\1\b/gims)' \
    -e '{$n=($` =~ tr/\n/\n/ + 1); ($v=$&)=~s/\n/\\n/g;' \
    -e 'print "$ARGV:$n:$v\n"}'

2ff3a80334 Teach --dirstat not to completely ignore rearranged lines within a file
Currently, the --dirstat analysis ignores when lines within a file are
rearranged, because the "damage" calculated by show_dirstat() is 0.
However, if the object name has changed, we already know that there is
some damage, and it is unintuitive to claim there is _no_ damage.

Teach show_dirstat() to assign a minimum amount of damage (== 1) to
entries for which the analysis otherwise yields zero damage, to still
represent that these files are changed, instead of saying that there
is no change.

Also, skip --dirstat analysis when the object names are the same (e.g. for
a pure file rename).

12a296bca3 git-svn: Add a svn-remote.<name>.pushurl config key
Similar to the 'remote.<name>.pushurl' config key for git remotes,
'pushurl' is designed to be used in cases where 'url' points to an SVN
repository via a read-only transport, to provide an alternate
read/write transport. It is assumed that both keys point to the same
repository.

The 'pushurl' key is distinct from the 'commiturl' key in that
'commiturl' is a full svn path while 'pushurl' (like 'url') is a base
path. 'commiturl' takes precendece over 'pushurl' in cases where
either might be used.

The 'pushurl' is used by git-svn's dcommit and branch commands.

8a42c98501 magic pathspec: add tentative ":/path/from/top/level" pathspec support
Support ":/" magic string that can be prefixed to a pathspec element to
say "this names the path from the top-level of the working tree", when
you are in the subdirectory.

For example, you should be able to say:

    $ edit Makefile ;# top-level
    $ cd Documentation
    $ edit git.txt ;# in the subdirectory

and then do one of three things, still inside the subdirectory:

    $ git add -u .  ;# add only Documentation/git.txt
    $ git add -u :/ ;# add everything, including paths outside Documentation
    $ git add -u    ;# whatever the default setting is.

To truly support magic pathspec, the API needs to be restructured so that
get_pathspec() and init_pathspec() are unified into one call.  Currently,
the former just prefixes the user supplied pathspec with the current
subdirectory path, and the latter takes the output from the former and
pre-parses them into a bit richer structure for easier handling.  They
should become a single API function that takes the current subdirectory
path and the remainder of argv[] (after parsing --options and revision
arguments from the command line) and returns an array of parsed pathspec
elements, and "magic" should become attributes of struct pathspec_item.

This patch implements only "top" magic because it can be hacked into the
system without such a refactoring.

The syntax for magic pathspec prefix is designed to be extensible yet
simple to type to invoke a simple magic like "from the top".  The parser
for the magic prefix is hooked into get_pathspec() function in this patch,
and it needs to be moved when we refactor the API.

But we have to start from somewhere.

It may be better to rename the "driver" in "diff.<driver>.*" to
something like "content type" or "file type", but for now, let's keep
it consistent across this part of the documentation and the original
description in the gitattributes documentation.

9db31bdf5c submodule: Add --force option for git submodule update
By default git submodule update runs a simple checkout on submodules that
are not up-to-date. If the submodules contains modified or untracked
files, the command may exit sanely with an error:

  $ git submodule update
  error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by
  checkout:
	  file
  Please, commit your changes or stash them before you can switch branches.
  Aborting
  Unable to checkout '1b69c6e55606b48d3284a3a9efe4b58bfb7e8c9e' in
  submodule path 'test1'

In order to reset a whole git submodule tree, a user has to run first 'git
submodule foreach --recursive git checkout -f' and then run 'git submodule
update'.

This patch adds a --force option for the update command (only used for
submodules without --rebase or --merge options). It passes the --force
option to git checkout which will throw away the local changes.

467ddc14fe git diff -D: omit the preimage of deletes
When reviewing a patch while concentrating primarily on the text after
then change, wading through pages of deleted text involves a cognitive
burden.

Introduce the -D option that omits the preimage text from the patch output
for deleted files.  When used with -B (represent total rewrite as a single
wholesale deletion followed by a single wholesale addition), the preimage
text is also omitted.

To prevent such a patch from being applied by mistake, the output is
designed not to be usable by "git apply" (or GNU "patch"); it is strictly
for human consumption.

It of course is possible to "apply" such a patch by hand, as a human can
read the intention out of such a patch.  It however is impossible to apply
such a patch even manually in reverse, as the whole point of this option
is to omit the information necessary to do so from the output.

Michael J Gruber.

options in the rev-list family of commands such as "log".  Consequently,
the description of the --cherry-pick option appears way above the
description of the --left-right option now.

But the description of the --cherry-pick option still refers to the
example for the --left-right option, like this:
