Add a reset.quiet config setting that sets the default value of the --quiet
flag when running the reset command. This enables users to change the
default behavior to take advantage of the performance advantages of
avoiding the scan for unstaged changes after reset. Defaults to false.

It is often useful to break a commit into multiple parts that are more
logical separations. This can be tricky to learn how to do without the
brute-force method if re-writing code or commit messages from scratch.
Add a section to the git-reset documentation which shows an example
process for how to use git add -p and git commit -c HEAD@{1} to
interactively break a commit apart and re-use the original commit
message as a starting point when making the new commit message.

When --mixed is used, entries could be removed from index if the
target ref does not have them. When "reset" is used in preparation for
commit spliting (in a dirty worktree), it could be hard to track what
files to be added back. The new option --intent-to-add simplifies it
by marking all removed files intent-to-add.

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.

The point of these sections is generally to:
1. Give credit where it is due.
2. Give the reader an idea of where to ask questions or
file bug reports.
But they don't do a good job of either case. For (1), they
are out of date and incomplete. A much more accurate answer
can be gotten through shortlog or blame. For (2), the
correct contact point is generally git@vger, and even if you
wanted to cc the contact point, the out-of-date and
incomplete fields mean you're likely sending to somebody
useless.
So let's drop the fields entirely from all manpages except
git(1) itself. We already point people to the mailing list
for bug reports there, and we can update the Authors section
to give credit to the major contributors and point to
shortlog and blame for more information.
Each page has a "This is part of git" footer, so people can
follow that to the main git manpage.

The current treatment of "git reset --keep" emphasizes how it
differs from --hard (treatment of local changes) and how it breaks
down into plumbing (git read-tree -m -u HEAD <commit> followed by git
update-ref HEAD <commit>). This can discourage people from using
it, since it might seem to be a complex or niche option.
Better to emphasize what the --keep flag is intended for --- moving
the index and worktree from one commit to another, like "git checkout"
would --- so the reader can make a more informed decision about the
appropriate situations in which to use it.

The use case for --keep option is to remove previous commits unrelated
to the current changes in the working tree. So in this use case we are
not supposed to have unmerged entries. This is why it seems safer to
just disallow using --keep when there are unmerged entries.
And this patch changes the error message when --keep was disallowed and
there were some unmerged entries from:
error: Entry 'file1' would be overwritten by merge. Cannot merge.
fatal: Could not reset index file to revision 'HEAD^'.
to:
fatal: Cannot do a keep reset in the middle of a merge.
which is nicer.

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 9e8ecea (Add 'merge' mode to 'git reset', 2008-12-01) disallowed
"git reset --merge" when there was unmerged entries. But it wished if
unmerged entries were reset as if --hard (instead of --merge) has been
used. This makes sense because all "mergy" operations makes sure that
any path involved in the merge does not have local modifications before
starting, so resetting such a path away won't lose any information.
The previous commit changed the behavior of --merge to accept resetting
unmerged entries if they are reset to a different state than HEAD, but it
did not reset the changes in the work tree, leaving the conflict markers
in the resulting file in the work tree.
Fix it by doing three things:
- Update the documentation to match the wish of original "reset --merge"
better, namely, "An unmerged entry is a sign that the path didn't have
any local modification and can be safely resetted to whatever the new
HEAD records";
- Update read_index_unmerged(), which reads the index file into the cache
while dropping any higher-stage entries down to stage #0, not to copy
the object name from the higher stage entry. The code used to take the
object name from the a stage entry ("base" if you happened to have
stage #1, or "ours" if both sides added, etc.), which essentially meant
that you are getting random results depending on what the merge did.
The _only_ reason we want to keep a previously unmerged entry in the
index at stage #0 is so that we don't forget the fact that we have
corresponding file in the work tree in order to be able to remove it
when the tree we are resetting to does not have the path. In order to
differentiate such an entry from ordinary cache entry, the cache entry
added by read_index_unmerged() is marked as CE_CONFLICTED.
- Update merged_entry() and deleted_entry() so that they pay attention to
cache entries marked as CE_CONFLICTED. They are previously unmerged
entries, and the files in the work tree that correspond to them are
resetted away by oneway_merge() to the version from the tree we are
resetting to.

This patch makes "reset_index_file()" call "unpack_trees()" directly
instead of forking and execing "git read-tree". So the code is more
efficient.
And it's also easier to see which unpack_tree() options will be used,
as we don't need to follow "git read-tree"'s command line parsing
which is quite complex.
As Daniel Barkalow found, there is a difference between this new
version and the old one. The old version gives an error for
"git reset --merge" with unmerged entries, and the new version does
not when we reset the entries to some states that differ from HEAD.
Instead, it resets the index entry and succeeds, while leaving the
conflict markers in the corresponding file in the work tree (which
will be corrected by the next patch).
The code comes from the sequencer GSoC project:

This introduces a --patch mode for git-reset. The basic case is
git reset --patch -- [files...]
which acts as the opposite of 'git add --patch -- [files...]': it
offers hunks for *un*staging. Advanced usage is
git reset --patch <revision> -- [files...]
which offers hunks from the diff between the index and <revision> for
forward application to the index. (That is, the basic case is just
<revision> = HEAD.)
