d7d9c2d049 format-patch: add arbitrary email headers
format-patch supports the format.headers configuration for adding
arbitrary email headers to the patches it outputs.  This patch adds
support for an --add-header argument which makes the same feature
available from the command line.  This is useful when the content of
custom email headers must change from branch to branch.

This patch has been sponsored by Grant Street Group

2d266f9d62 Documentation: format-patch --root clarifications
Users were confused about the meaning and use of the --root option.
Notably, since 68c2ec7 (format-patch: show patch text for the root
commit, 2009-01-10), --root has nothing to do with showing the patch
text for the root commit any more.

Shorten and clarify the corresponding paragraph in the DESCRIPTION
section, document --root under OPTIONS, and add an explicit note that
root commits are formatted regardless.

5121a6d993 Documentation: option to render literal text as bold for manpages
This allows manpages viewed on a tty to render inline literal
text in a manner that is distinct from the surrounding text.

The initial implementation (pre-mailing-list) of this patch
included a conditional variant of the XSLT code in
manpage-base.xsl and use xmlto's --stringparam option to
optionally enable the functionality. It turns out that
--stringparam is broken in all versions of xmlto except for the
pre-release, SVN version. Since xmlto is a shell script the patch
to fix it is simple enough, but I instead opted to use xmlto's
"module" functionality.

dad3211503 Documentation: asciidoc.conf: always use <literallayout> for [blocktext]
Make the docbook-xsl-no-raw-roff variant match the
no-docbook-xsl-no-raw-roff variant in terms of which XML tag is
used to wrap listing block text (delimited with lines of dashes).

e920b56 (Tweak asciidoc output to work with broken docbook-xsl,
2006-03-05) says docbook-xsl 1.68 needs <literallayout>. This
<screen> usages was in the old, 1.72-only section. But since it
is now the "roff-less" section, it probably makes sense to make it
symmetric with the "roff-ful" section.

9d8d13a8c5 Documentation: move quieting params into manpage-base.xsl
Move a couple of XSL parameters that act to silence
informational/warning messages generated when running xmlto from
manpage-1.72.xsl to manpage-base.xsl.

Since unused parameters are silently ignored, there is no problem
if some version of docbook-xsl does not know about these
parameters. The only problem might be if a version of docbook-xsl
uses the parameters for alternate functionality. Since both
parameters have fairly specific names such a situation is
unlikely.

8fa2b45f3a Documentation: rename docbook-xsl-172 attribute to git-asciidoc-no-roff
It seems that the ability to use raw roff codes in asciidoc.conf
was eliminated by docbook-xsl 1.72.0 _and later_. Unlike the
1.72.0-specific XSLT problem, this behavior was not reverted in
later releases.

This patch aims to make it clear that the affected asciidoc
attribute (flag) can be reasonably used with docbook-xsl versions
other than 1.72.0.

Also, document which make variables should be set for various
versions of asciidoc and docbook-xsl.

3e262b95c5 Don't permit ref/branch names to end with ".lock"
We already skip over loose refs under $GIT_DIR/refs if the name
ends with ".lock", so creating a branch named "foo.lock" will not
appear in the output of "git branch", "git for-each-ref", nor will
its commit be considered reachable by "git rev-list --all".

In the latter case this is especially evil, as it may cause
repository corruption when objects reachable only through such a
ref are deleted by "git prune".

It should be reasonably safe to deny use of ".lock" as a ref suffix.
In prior versions of Git such branches would be "phantom branches";
you can create it, but you can't see it in "git branch" output.

cbdffe4093 check_ref_format(): tighten refname rules
This changes the rules for refnames to forbid:

 (1) a refname that contains "@{" in it.

     Some people and foreign SCM converter may have named their branches
     as frotz@24 and we still want to keep supporting it.

     However, "git branch frotz@{24}" is a disaster.  It cannot even
     checked out because "git checkout frotz@{24}" will interpret it as
     "detach the HEAD at twenty-fourth reflog entry of the frotz branch".

 (2) a refname that ends with a dot.

     We already reject a path component that begins with a dot, primarily
     to avoid ambiguous range interpretation.  If we allowed ".B" as a
     valid ref, it is unclear if "A...B" means "in dot-B but not in A" or
     "either in A or B but not in both".

     But for this to be complete, we need also to forbid "A." to avoid "in
     B but not in A-dot".  This was not a problem in the original range
     notation, but we should have added this restriction when three-dot
     notation was introduced.

     Unlike "no dot at the beginning of any path component" rule, this
     rule does not have to be "no dot at the end of any path component",
     because you cannot abbreviate the tail end away, similar to you can
     say "dot-B" to mean "refs/heads/dot-B".

For these reasons, it is not likely people created branches with these
names on purpose, but we have allowed such names to be used for quite some
time, and it is possible that people created such branches by mistake or
by accident.

To help people with branches with such unfortunate names to recover,
we still allow "branch -d 'bad.'" to delete such branches, and also allow
"branch -m bad. good" to rename them.

This specifier represents the sanitized and filename friendly subject
line of a commit. No checks are made against the length of the string,
so users may need to trim the result to the desired length if using as a
filename. This is commonly used by format-patch to massage commit
subjects into filenames and output patches to files.
