The current description gives the impression that "--full-diff" affects
"log -p" only.
Make it clearer that it affects all diff-based output types.

* eb/doc-log-manpage:
Reorganize `git-log' man page to clarify common diff options.
|
|
This will reduce considerably the common confusion where people miss the
`--follow' option, and wonder why `-M'/`-C' is not working.
* Move the diff options include to after the log-specific flags, and add
a "Common diff options" subtitle before them. (These options apply
only when patches are shown, which is not a common use case among
newbies, so having them first is confusing.)
* Move the `--follow' description to the top of the listed options. The
options before that seem less important: `--full-diff' applies only
when patches are shown, `--source' and `--decorate' are less useful
with many common commit specifications.
* Clarify that `--follow' works only for a single path argument.

Currently, whenever we need documentation for revisions and ranges, we
link to the git-rev-parse man page, i.e. a plumbing man page, which has
this along with the documentation of all rev-parse modes.
Link to the new gitrevisions man page instead in all cases except
- when the actual git-rev-parse command is referred to or
- in very technical context (git-send-pack).

'git log --follow <path>' don't track copies from unmodified

The configuration is meant to suppliment --decorate command line option
that can be used as a boolean to turn the feature on, so it is natural
to expect
[log]
decorate
decorate = yes
to work. The original commit would segfault with the first one, and
would not understand the second one.
Once a user has this configuration in ~/.gitconfig, there needs to be a
way to override it from the command line. Add --no-decorate option to
log family and also allow --decorate=no to mean the same thing. Since
we allow setting log.decorate to 'true', the command line also should
accept --decorate=yes and behave accordingly.
New tests in t4202 are designed to exercise the interaction between the
configuration variable and the command line option that overrides it.

git log -p -m is used to show one merge entry per parent, with an
appropriate diff; this can be useful when examining histories where
full set of changes introduced by a merged branch is interesting, not
only the conflicts.
This patch properly documents the -m switch, which has so far been
mentioned only as a fairly special diff-tree flag.
It also makes the code show full patch entry only for the first parent
when --first-parent is used. Thus:
git log -p -m --first-parent
will show the history from the "main branch perspective", while also
including full diff of changes introduced by other merged in branches.

Since local branch, tags and remote tracking branch namespaces are
most often used, add shortcut notations for globbing those in
manner similar to --glob option.
With this, one can express the "what I have but origin doesn't?"
as:
'git log --branches --not --remotes=origin'

The documentation was quite inconsistent when spelling 'git cmd' if it
only refers to the program, not to some specific invocation syntax:
both 'git-cmd' and 'git cmd' spellings exist.
The current trend goes towards dashless forms, and there is precedent
in 647ac70 (git-svn.txt: stop using dash-form of commands.,
2009-07-07) to actively eliminate the dashed variants.
Replace 'git-cmd' with 'git cmd' throughout, except where git-shell,
git-cvsserver, git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack, and
git-upload-archive are concerned, because those really live in the
$PATH.

Commit de435ac0 changed the behavior of --decorate from printing the
full ref (e.g., "refs/heads/master") to a shorter, more human-readable
version (e.g., just "master"). While this is nice for human readers,
external tools using the output from "git log" may prefer the full
version.
This patch introduces an extension to --decorate to allow the caller to
specify either the short or the full versions.

When the SYNOPSIS says e.g. "<path>...", it is nice if the DESCRIPTION
also mentions "<path>..." and says the specified "paths" (note plural)
are used for $whatever. This fixes the obvious mismatches.

The names of git commands are not meant to be entered at the
commandline; they are just names. So we render them in italics,
as is usual for command names in manpages.
Using
doit () {
perl -e 'for (<>) { s/\`(git-[^\`.]*)\`/'\''\1'\''/g; print }'
}
for i in git*.txt config.txt diff*.txt blame*.txt fetch*.txt i18n.txt \
merge*.txt pretty*.txt pull*.txt rev*.txt urls*.txt
do
doit <"$i" >"$i+" && mv "$i+" "$i"
done

Following what appears to be the predominant style, format
names of commands and commandlines both as `teletype text`.
While we're at it, add articles ("a" and "the") in some
places, italicize the name of the command in the manual page
synopsis line, and add a comma or two where it seems appropriate.

Since the git-* commands are not installed in $(bindir), using
"git-command <parameters>" in examples in the documentation is
not a good idea. On the other hand, it is nice to be able to
refer to each command using one hyphenated word. (There is no
escaping it, anyway: man page names cannot have spaces in them.)
This patch retains the dash in naming an operation, command,
program, process, or action. Complete command lines that can
be entered at a shell (i.e., without options omitted) are
made to use the dashless form.
The changes consist only of replacing some spaces with hyphens
and vice versa. After a "s/ /-/g", the unpatched and patched
versions are identical.

Asciidoc configuration:

# Inline macros.

# (?s) re flag for line spanning.

This default regex now matches explicit values, and unfortunately in this
case gitlink was being matched by just 'link', causing the wrong inline
macro template to be applied. By renaming the macro, we can avoid being
matched by the wrong regex.

The --walk-reflogs logic and the --reverse logic are completely
incompatible with one another. Attempting to use both at the same
time leads to confusing results that sometimes violates the user's
formatting options or ignores the user's request to see the reflog
message and timestamp.
Unfortunately the implementation of both of these features is glued
onto the side of the revision walking machinary in such a way that
they are probably not going to be easy to make them compatible with
each other. Rather than offering the user confusing results we are
better off bailing out with an error message until such a time as
the implementations can be refactored to be compatible.

With this option git-log prints log message size
just before the corresponding message.
Porcelain tools could use this to speedup parsing
of git-log output.
Note that size refers to log message only. If also
patch content is shown its size is not included.
In case it is not possible to know the size upfront
size value is set to zero.

Split description of pretty formats into list of pretty options
(--pretty and --encoding) in new file Documentation/pretty-options.txt
and description of formats itself as a separate "PRETTY FORMATS"
section in pretty-formats.txt
While at it correct formatting a bit, to be better laid out in the
resulting manpages: git-rev-list(1), git-show(1), git-log(1) and
git-diff-tree(1). Those manpages now include pretty options in the
same place as it was before, and description of formats just after
all options.

Asciidoc-include it into the manuals for programs that use the
--pretty command-line option, for consistency among the docs.
This describes all the pretty-formats currently listed in the cmit_fmt
enum in commit.h, and also briefly describes the presence and format
of the 'Merge: ' line in some pretty formats.
There's a hedge that limiting your view of history can affect what
goes in the Merge: line, and that --abbrev/--no-abbrev do nothing to
the 'raw' format.

I don't think people really follow the links or think very abstractly at
all in the first place.
So I was thinking more of some explicit examples. I actually think every
command should have an example in the man-page, and hey, here's a patch to
start things off.
Of course, I'm not exactly "Mr Documentation", and I don't know that this
is the prettiest way to do this, but I checked that the resulting html and
man-page seems at least reasonable.
And hey, if the examples look like each other, that's just because I'm
also not "Mr Imagination".
