We use our custom xsl file to build the user manual, so make
sure we depend on it. We don't use it anywhere else, so we
can stick it straight in the rule.

Unlike gcc, asciidoc does not atomically write its output file or
delete it when interrupted. If it is interrupted in the middle of
writing an XML file, the result will be truncated input for xsltproc.

Providing multiple targets to force a rebuild is unnecessary
complication.
Avoid using a name that could conflict with future special
targets in GNU make (a leading period followed by uppercase
letters).
The corresponding change to the git-gui Makefile is left for
another patch.

The --stringparam option is not available on older xmlto versions.
Instead, set man.base.url.for.relative.links via a .xsl file. Older
docbook versions will ignore this without causing grief to users of
older xmlto versions.

t4201: use ISO8859-1 rather than ISO-8859-1

Newer DocBook stylesheets want man.base.url.for.relative.links
parameter set when formatting manpages with external references
to turn them into full URLs, and leave a helpful "you should
set this parameter" message in the output. Earlier we added
the MAN_BASE_URL make variable to specify the value for it.
When MAN_BASE_URL is not given, it ought to be safe to set the
parameter to empty; it would result in an empty leading path for
older stylesheets that ignore the parameter, and newer ones
would produce the same "relative URL" without the message.
Unfortunately, older xmlto (at least version 0.0.18 released in
early 2004 that comes with RHEL/CentOS 5) does not understand
the --stringparam command line option, so we cannot add the
parameter definition unconditionally to the command line. Work
it around by passing the parameter only when set.
If you do not have a suitable URL prefix, you can pass a quoted empty
string to it, like so:
$ make MAN_BASE_URL='""'

This patch adds an asciidoc version of the "Fighting regressions with
git bisect" article that the author wrote for the Linux-Kongress
2009 (http://www.linux-kongress.org/2009).
This paper might be interesting to people who want to learn as much as
possible about "git bisect" from a single document.
The slides of the related presentation are available at:
http://www.linux-kongress.org/2009/slides/fighting_regressions_with_git_bisect_christian_couder.pdf
But the Linux Kongress people will not publish this paper online because
they print the papers on their UpTimes magazine
(http://www.lob.de/isbn/978-3-86541-358-1). But they don't take away the
rights of the author (which is very nice), so I have the right to publish
it.

Quote ' as \(aq in manpages

The docbook/xmlto toolchain insists on quoting ' as \'. This does
achieve the quoting goal, but modern 'man' implementations turn the
apostrophe into a unicode "proper" apostrophe (given the right
circumstances), breaking code examples in many of our manpages.
Quote them as \(aq instead, which is an "apostrophe quote" as per the
groff_char manpage.
Unfortunately, as Anders Kaseorg kindly pointed out, this is not
portable beyond groff, so we add an extra Makefile variable GNU_ROFF
which you need to enable to get the new quoting.
Thanks also to Miklos Vajna for documentation.

asciidoc 8.4.1 changed the semantics of inline backtick quoting so
that they disable parsing of inline constructs, i.e.,
Input: `{plus}`
Pre 8.4.1: +
Post 8.4.1: {plus}
Fix this by defining the asciidoc attribute 'no-inline-literal'
(which, per the 8.4.1 changelog, is the toggle to return to the old
behaviour) when under ASCIIDOC8.

With this change, the "spurious .sp" suppression XSLT code is
disabled by default. It can be enabled by defining
DOCBOOK_SUPPRESS_SP.
The "spurious .sp" XSLT fragment was used to work around a bug
first released in docbook-xsl 1.69.1. Modern versions of
docbook-xsl are negatively affected by the code (some empty lines
are omitted from manpage output; see
<http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/115302>).
The key revisions in the docbook SVN repo seem to be 5144 (before
docbook-xsl 1.69.1) and 6359 (before docbook-xsl 1.71.1).
Testing done with asciidoc 8.3.1 and docbook-xsl 1.74.0.

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.

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.

Each of manpage-base.xsl and manpage-normal.xsl gets a copy of
the contents of callouts.xsl and the original is removed. The
Makefile is adjusted to refer to manpage-normal.xsl instead of
callouts.xsl. manpage-base.xsl will be later made into a common
base for -normal and -1.72.

Most shells define the exit value of a pipeline as the exit value

* mv/um-pdf:

|

"makeinfo" failed to generate gitman.info from gitman.texi input file
because the combined manual page file contains several nodes with the
same name (DESCRIPTION, OPTIONS, SEE ALSO etc.). An Info document should
contain unique node names.
This patch creates a simple (read: ugly) work-around by suppressing the
validation of the final Info file. Jumping to nodes in the Info document
still works but they are not very useful. Common man-page headings like
DESCRIPTION and OPTIONS appear in the Info node list and they point to
the man page where they appear first (that is git-add currently).
Also, this patch adds directory-entry information for Info document to
make the document appear in the top-level Info directory.

But as the glossary is included in the user manual and as the new

the actual glossary content is now in its own "glossary-content.txt"
new file. And this file is included by both the user manual and the

I was able to solve this problem with this patch, which adds a XSL file
used specifically for DOCBOOK_XSL_172=YesPlease and where dots and
backslashes are escaped properly so they won't be substituted to the
wrong thing further down the "DocBook XSL pipeline". Doing the escaping
in the existing callout.xsl breaks v1.70.1. Hopefully v1.73 will end
this part of the manpage nightmare.

Now when using "git help -w cmd", we will try to show the HTML man
page "git-cmd.html" in your prefered web browser.
To do that "help.c" code will call a new shell script
"git-browse-help".
This currently works only if the HTML versions of the man page
have been installed in $(htmldir) (typically "/usr/share/doc/git-doc"),
so new target to do that is added to "Documentation/Makefile".
The browser to use can be configured using the "web.browser"
config variable.
We try to open a new tab in an existing web browser, if possible.
The code in "git-browse-help" is heavily stolen from "git-mergetool"
by Theodore Y. Ts'o. Thanks.
