Some people feel the default set of colors used by "git log --graph"
rather limiting. A mechanism to customize the set of colors has
been introduced.
* nd/log-graph-configurable-colors:
document behavior of empty color name
color_parse_mem: allow empty color spec
log --graph: customize the graph lines with config log.graphColors
color.c: trim leading spaces in color_parse_mem()
color.c: fix color_parse_mem() with value_len == 0
Asciidoctor, an alternative reimplementation of AsciiDoc, still
needs some changes to work with documents meant to be formatted
with AsciiDoc. "make USE_ASCIIDOCTOR=YesPlease" to use it out of
the box to document our pages is getting closer to reality.
* bc/use-asciidoctor-opt:
Documentation: implement linkgit macro for Asciidoctor
Makefile: add a knob to enable the use of Asciidoctor
Documentation: move dblatex arguments into variable
Documentation: add XSLT to fix DocBook for Texinfo
Documentation: sort sources for gitman.texi
Documentation: remove unneeded argument in cat-texi.perl
Documentation: modernize cat-texi.perl
Documentation: fix warning in cat-texi.perl
Commit 55cccf4bb (color_parse_mem: allow empty color spec,
2017-02-01) clearly defined the behavior of an empty color
config variable. Let's document that, and give a hint about
why it might be useful.
It's important not to say that it makes the item uncolored,
because it doesn't. It just sets no attributes, which means
that any previous attributes continue to take effect.

The commands git-branch and git-tag accept the '--create-reflog'
option, and create reflog even when core.logallrefupdates
configuration is explicitly set not to.
On the other hand, the negated form '--no-create-reflog' is accepted
as a valid option but has no effect (other than overriding an
earlier '--create-reflog' on the command line). This silent noop may
puzzle users. To communicate that this is a known limitation, add a
short note in the manuals for git-branch and git-tag.

The URL matching function computes for two URLs whether they match not.
The match is performed by splitting up the URL into different parts and
then doing an exact comparison with the to-be-matched URL.
The main user of `urlmatch` is the configuration subsystem. It allows to
set certain configurations based on the URL which is being connected to
via keys like `http.<url>.*`. A common use case for this is to set
proxies for only some remotes which match the given URL. Unfortunately,
having exact matches for all parts of the URL can become quite tedious
in some setups. Imagine for example a corporate network where there are
dozens or even hundreds of subdomains, which would have to be configured
individually.
Allow users to write an asterisk '*' in place of any 'host' or
'subdomain' label as part of the host name. For example,
"http.https://*.example.com.proxy" sets "http.proxy" for all direct
subdomains of "https://example.com", e.g. "https://foo.example.com", but
not "https://foo.bar.example.com".

When core.logallrefupdates is true, we only create a new reflog for refs
that are under certain well-known hierarchies. The reason is that we
know that some hierarchies (like refs/tags) are not meant to change, and
that unknown hierarchies might not want reflogs at all (e.g., a
hypothetical refs/foo might be meant to change often and drop old
history immediately).
However, sometimes it is useful to override this decision and simply log
for all refs, because the safety and audit trail is more important than
the performance implications of keeping the log around.
This patch introduces a new "always" mode for the core.logallrefupdates
option which will log updates to everything under refs/, regardless
where in the hierarchy it is (we still will not log things like
ORIG_HEAD and FETCH_HEAD, which are known to be transient).

The documentation for submission discourages pgp-signing, but demands
a proper sign-off by contributors. However, when skimming the headings,
the wording of the section for sign-off could mistakenly be understood
as concerning pgp-signing. Thus, new contributors could oversee the
necessary sign-off.
This commit improves the wording such that the section about sign-off
cannot be misunderstood as pgp-signing. In addition, the paragraph about
pgp-signing is changed such that it avoids the impression that
pgp-signing could be relevant at later stages of the submission.

Teach git-describe the `--exclude` option which will allow specifying
a glob pattern of tags to ignore. This can be combined with the
`--match` patterns to enable more flexibility in determining which tags
to consider.
For example, suppose you wish to find the first official release tag
that contains a certain commit. If we assume that official release tags
are of the form "v*" and pre-release candidates include "*rc*" in their
name, we can now find the first release tag that introduces the commit
abcdef:
git describe --contains --match="v*" --exclude="*rc*" abcdef

Extend git-name-rev to support excluding refs which match shell patterns
using --exclude. These patterns can be used to limit the scope of refs
by excluding any ref that matches one of the --exclude patterns. A ref
will only be used for naming when it matches at least one --refs pattern
but does not match any of the --exclude patterns. Thus, --exclude
patterns are given precedence over --refs patterns.
For example, suppose you wish to name a series of commits based on an
official release tag of the form "v*" but excluding any pre-release tags
which match "*rc*". You can use the following to do so:
git name-rev --refs="v*" --exclude="*rc*" --all

if any of the patterns would allow abbreviation, then we will abbreviate
the ref, even if another pattern is more strict and would not have
allowed abbreviation on its own.

If you have a 256 colors terminal (or one with true color support), then
the predefined 12 colors seem limited. On the other hand, you don't want
to draw graph lines with every single color in this mode because the two
colors could look extremely similar. This option allows you to hand pick
the colors you want.
Even with standard terminal, if your background color is neither black
or white, then the graph line may match your background and become
hidden. You can exclude your background color (or simply the colors you
hate) with this.

While Git has traditionally built its documentation using AsciiDoc, some

There are two ways to create a section in a reference document (i.e.,
manpage) in DocBook 4: refsection elements and refsect, refsect2, and
refsect3 elements. Either form is acceptable as of DocBook 4.2, but
they cannot be mixed. Prior to DocBook 4.2, only the numbered forms
were acceptable.
docbook2texi only accepts the numbered forms, and this has not generally
been a problem, since AsciiDoc produces the numbered forms.
Asciidoctor, on the other hand, uses a shared backend for DocBook 4 and
5, and uses the unnumbered refsection elements instead.
If we don't convert the unnumbered form to the numbered form,
docbook2texi omits section headings, which is undesirable. Add an XSLT
stylesheet to transform the unnumbered forms to the numbered forms
automatically, and preprocess the DocBook XML as part of the
transformation to Texinfo format.
Note that this transformation is only necessary for Texinfo, since
docbook2texi provides its own stylesheets. The DocBook stylesheets,
which we use for other formats, provide the full range of DocBook 4 and
5 compatibility, and don't have this issue.

Good style for Perl includes using the strict and warnings pragmas, and

lexical file handles necessitates being explicit when $_ is printed, so
that Perl does not get confused and instead print the glob ref.
