We earlier removed a link to list of contributors that pointed to a
defunct page; let's use a working one from Ohloh.net to replace it
instead.

Document that when using git svn, one should usually either use the
directory structure options to import branches as branches, or only
import one subdirectory. The default behaviour of cloning all branches
and tags as subdirectories in the working copy is usually not what the
user wants.

git svn sometimes creates branches with an at-sign in the name
(branchname@revision). These branches confuse many users and it is a FAQ
why they are created. Document when git svn creates them.

In the distant past, the order things were documented was
'Invocation', 'Commands', 'Capabilities', ...
Then it was decided that before giving a list of Commands, there
should be an overall description of the 'Input format', which was
a wise decision. However, this description was put as the very
first thing, with the rationale that any implementor would want
to know that first.
However, it seems an implementor would actually first need to
know how the remote helper will be invoked, so moving
'Invocation' to the front again seems logical. Moreover, we now
don't switch from discussing the input format to the invocation
style and then back to input related stuff.

19299a8 (Documentation: Move diff.<driver>.* from config.txt to
diff-config.txt, 2011-04-07) moved the diff configuration options to
diff-config.txt, but forgot about diff.wordRegex, which was left
behind in config.txt. Fix this.

"git diff <blob> <blob>" was not documented and was only hinted as
an extension to "git diff <commit> <commit> -- <pathspec>", but
comparison between two blobs are more special than that. It does

As it was not a common operation, it was described as if it is a
side note for the more common two-commit variant, but this mode
behaves very differently, e.g. it does not make any sense to ask
recursive behaviour, or give the command a pathspec.

The forms of checkout that do not take a path are lumped together in
the DESCRIPTION section, but the description for this group is
dominated by explanation of the -b|-B form.

Conscientious newcomers to git development will read SubmittingPatches
and CodingGuidelines, but could easily miss the convention of
prefixing commit messages with a single word identifying the file
or area the commit touches.

Email addresses in documentation are converted into mailto: hyperlinks
in the HTML output and footnotes in man pages. This isn't desirable for
cases where the address is used as an example and is not valid.
Particularly annoying is the example "jane@laptop.(none)" which appears
in git-shortlog(1) as "jane@laptop[1].(none)", with note 1 saying:
1. jane@laptop
mailto:jane@laptop
Fix this by escaping these email addresses with a leading backslash, to
prevent Asciidoc expanding them as inline macros.
In the case of mailmap.txt, render the address monospaced so that it
matches the block examples surrounding that paragraph.

Unlike other environment variables (e.g. GIT_WORK_TREE, GIT_NAMESPACE),
the Documentation/git.txt file did not mention that the GIT_DIR
environment variable can also be set using the --git-dir command line
option.
