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. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2008-01-16close_lock_file(): new function in the lockfile APILibravatar Brandon Casey1-3/+12
The lockfile API is a handy way to obtain a file that is cleaned up if you die(). But sometimes you would need this sequence to work: 1. hold_lock_file_for_update() to get a file descriptor for writing; 2. write the contents out, without being able to decide if the results should be committed or rolled back; 3. do something else that makes the decision --- and this "something else" needs the lockfile not to have an open file descriptor for writing (e.g. Windows do not want a open file to be renamed); 4. call commit_lock_file() or rollback_lock_file() as appropriately. This adds close_lock_file() you can call between step 2 and 3 in the above sequence. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

IOW, the users need to disable it explicitly if they want to by setting the config variable, since 1.5.3. However, we forgot to update the documentation. This fixes it.

2008-01-06Document the color.interactive semanticsLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+2
There are two possible confusions with the color.interactive description: 1. the short name "interactive" implies that it covers all interactive commands; let's explicitly make it so, even though there are no other interactive commands which currently use it 2. Not all parts of "git add --interactive" are controlled by color.interactive (specifically, the diffs require tweaking color.diff). So let's clarify that it applies only to displays and prompts.
