Users are not often aware of the fact that "git bisect -h" can give
them a long usage description, as "git bisect" seems to accept only
dashless subcommands like "start", "good", ...
That's why this patch adds a "git bisect help" subcommand that just
calls "git bisect -h". This new subcommand is also fully documented
in the short usage string (that "git bisect" gives), in the long
usage string and in the man page (that "git help bisect" gives).

The --root option from "git diff-tree" won't do nothing
when is given to commands like git-whatchanged or git-log,
because those always print the initial commit by default.
This fixes the tutorial explaining the function of the
log.showroot configuration variable.

When an argument for an option is optional, like in -n from git-tag,
puting a space between the option and the argument is interpreted
as a missing argument for the option plus an isolated argument.
Documentation now reflects the need to write the parameter following
the option -n, as in "git tag -nARG", for instance.

This patch allows .git to be a regular textfile containing the path of

The interactive mode does not work with files whose names contain
characters that need C-quoting. `core.quotepath` configuration can be
used to work this limitation around to some degree, but backslash,
double-quote and control characters will still have problems.

Add support for creating a new tag object and retaining the tag message,
author, and date when rewriting tags. The gpg signature, if one exists,
will be stripped.
This adds nearly proper tag name filtering to filter-branch. Proper tag
name filtering would include the ability to change the tagger, tag date,
tag message, and _not_ strip a gpg signature if the tag did not change.

Adds a gitcvs.dbtablenameprefix config variable, the contents of which
are prepended to any database tables names used by git-cvsserver. The
same substutions as gitcvs.dbname and gitcvs.dbuser are supported, and
any non-alphabetic characters are replaced with underscores.
A typo found in contrib/completion/git-completion.bash is also fixed.

provide some hints to the user about the differences and how
they are typically used.

This adds a %xXX format which inserts two hexdigits after %x as a byte
value in the resulting string. This can be used to add a NUL byte or any
other byte that can make machine parsing easier. It is also necessary to
use fwrite to print out the data since printf will terminate if you feed
it a NUL.

The fast-import documentation currently does not document the behaviour
of "merge" when there is no "from" in a commit. This patch adds a
description of what happens: the commit is created with a parent, but
no files. This behaviour is equivalent to "from" followed by
"filedeleteall".
