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.

Introduce two new configuration variables, receive.autogc (defaults to
true) and receive.updateserverinfo (defaults to false). When these are
set, receive-pack runs "gc --auto --quiet" and "update-server-info"
respectively after it finishes receiving data from "git push" and updating
refs.

The "git pull" documentation has examples which follow an outdated
style. Update the examples to use "git merge" where appropriate and
move the examples to the corresponding manpages.
Furthermore,
- show that pull is equivalent to fetch and merge, which is still a
frequently asked question,
- explain the default fetch refspec.

Linus and other git developers from the early days trained their fingers
to type the command, every once in a while even without thinking, to check
the consistency of the repository back when the lower core part of the git
was still being developed. Developers who wanted to make sure that git
correctly dealt with packfiles could deliberately trigger their creation
and checked them after they were created carefully, but loose objects are
the ones that are written by various commands from random codepaths. It
made some technical sense to have a mode that checked only loose objects
from the debugging point of view for that reason.
Even for git developers, there no longer is any reason to type "git fsck"
every five minutes these days, worried that some newly created objects
might be corrupt due to recent change to git.
The reason we did not make "--full" the default is probably we trust our
filesystems a bit too much. At least, we trusted filesystems more than we
trusted the lower core part of git that was under development.
Once a packfile is created and we always use it read-only, there didn't
seem to be much point in suspecting that the underlying filesystems or
disks may corrupt them in such a way that is not caught by the SHA-1
checksum over the entire packfile and per object checksum. That trust in
the filesystems might have been a good tradeoff between fsck performance
and reliability on platforms git was initially developed on and for, but
it may not be true anymore as we run on many more platforms these days.

‘git bisect reset’ accepts an optional argument specifying a branch to
check out after cleaning up the bisection state. This lets you
specify an arbitrary commit.
In particular, this provides a way to clean the bisection state
without moving HEAD: ‘git bisect reset HEAD’. This may be useful if
you are not interested in the state before you began a bisect,
especially if checking out the old commit would be expensive and
invalidate most of your compiled tree.
Clarify the ‘git bisect reset’ documentation to explain this optional
argument, which was previously mentioned only in the usage message.

Commit dae556b (environment: add global variable to disable replacement)
adds a variable to enable/disable replacement, and it is enabled by
default for most commands.
So there is no way to disable it for some commands, which is annoying
when we want to get information about a commit that has been replaced.
For example:
$ git cat-file -p N
would output information about the replacement commit if commit N is
replaced.
With the "--no-replace-objects" option that this patch adds it is
possible to get information about the original commit using:
$ git --no-replace-objects cat-file -p N
While at it, let's add some documentation about this new option in the
"git replace" man page too.

Tolerating empty path components in ref names means each ref does
not have a unique name. This creates difficulty for porcelains
that want to see if two branches are equal. Add a helper associating
to each ref a canonical name.
If a user asks a porcelain to create a ref "refs/heads//master",
the porcelain can run "git check-ref-format --print refs/heads//master"
and only deal with "refs/heads/master" from then on.

When saying the initial branch is equal to the currently active
remote branch, it is probably intended that the branch heads
point to the same commit. Maybe it would be more useful to a
new user to emphasize that the tree contents and history are the
same.
More important, probably, is that this new branch is set up so
that "git pull" merges changes from the corresponding remote
branch. The next paragraph addresses that directly. What the
reader needs to know to begin with is that (1) the initial branch
is your own; if you do not pull, it won't get updated, and that
(2) the initial branch starts out at the same commit as the
upstream.

The documentation seems to assume that the starting point for a new
branch is the tip of an existing (ordinary) branch, but that is not
the most common case. More often, "git branch" is used to begin
a branch from a remote-tracking branch, a tag, or an interesting
commit (e.g. origin/pu^2). Clarify the language so it can apply
to these cases. Thanks to Sean Estabrooks for the wording.
Also add a pointer to the user's manual for the bewildered.

Sounds better this way, at least to my ears. ("The syntax and
supported options of git merge" is a plural noun. "the same"
instead of "equal" sounds less technical and seems to convey
the meaning better here.)
