Our documentation was written for an ancient version of AsciiDoc,
making the source not very readable.

New users tend to work on one branch at a time and push the result
out. The current and upstream modes of push is a more suitable default
mode than matching mode for these people, but neither is surprise-free
depending on how the project is set up. Introduce a "simple" mode that
is a subset of "upstream" but only works when the branch is named the same
between the remote and local repositories.
The plan is to make it the new default when push.default is not
configured.

You can already use relative paths in include.path, which
means that including "foo" from your global "~/.gitconfig"
will look in your home directory. However, you might want to
do something clever like putting "~/.gitconfig-foo" in a
specific repository's config file.

In the older days, the header "Conflicts:" in "cherry-pick" and

The command line parser choked "git cherry-pick $name" when $name can be
both revision name and a pathname, even though $name can never be a path
in the context of the command.
The issue the patch addresses is real, but the way it is implemented felt
unnecessarily invasive a bit. It may be cleaner for this caller to add
the "--" to the end of the argv_array it passes to setup_revisions().

The shell function that starts git-daemon wants to read the first line of
the daemon's stderr to ensure that it started correctly. Subsequent daemon
errors should be redirected to fd 4 (which is the terminal in verbose mode
or /dev/null in quiet mode). To that end the shell script used 'read' to
get the first line of output, and then 'cat &' to forward everything else
in a background process.
The problem is, that 'cat >&4 &' does not produce any output because the
shell redirects a background process's stdin to /dev/null. To have this
command invocation do anything useful, we have to redirect its stdin
explicitly (which overrides the /dev/null redirection).
The shell function connects the daemon's stderr to its consumers via a
FIFO. We cannot just do this:
read line <git_daemon_output
cat <git_daemon_output >&4 &
because after the first redirection the pipe is closed and the daemon
could receive SIGPIPE if it writes at the wrong moment. Therefore, we open
the readable end of the FIFO only once on fd 7 in the shell and dup from
there to the stdin of the two consumers.

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.
