In the Table of Contents, there is a notable inconsistency:
first there is "GIT Glossary", followed by "Git Quick Reference"
on the very next line.
Running "grep -c" on user-manual.txt, I find 780 occurrrences of
"git", 37 occurrences of "Git", and 9 occurrences of "GIT".
In general, "git" is the preferred spelling, except at the
beginning of a sentence.
Therefore, change "GIT Glossary" to "Git Glossary" for consistency
with the rest of the document.
Looking at the other eight occurrences of "GIT" I found one other
occurrence that should be changed:
* The mention of "StGIT". Looking at the web pages for "Stacked Git"
at http://www.procode.org/stgit, I only saw the spelling "StGit",
except in http://wiki.procode.org/cgi-bin/wiki.cgi/StGIT_Tutorial,
but that page was last updated in 2006.
The other seven occurrences should not be changed:
* Three occurrences were in the output of 'git show-branch' run
on the git.git repository.
* One occurrence was in the output of 'git cat-file'.
* One occurrence was as part of the file name "GIT-VERSION-GEN".
* Two occurrences were in comments in scripts quoted in a description
of Tony Luck's workflow.

Do not write literal "~/" or "~user" but use "{tilde}/" and "{tilde}user";
otherwise the text between them gets enclosed in

The current man page does a reasonable job at describing branch management
during the development process, but it does not contain any guidance as to
how the branches are affected by releases.
Add a basic introduction to the branch management undertaken during a
git.git release, so that a reader may gain some insight into how the
integration, maintenance, and topic branches are affected during the
release transition, and is thus able to better design the process for their
own project.
Other release activities such as reviews, testing, and creating
distributions are currently out of scope.

When the usage string for a subcommand must be printed,
only print the information relevant to that command.
This commit also removes the complete options list from
the first line of the subcommand usage string. Instead,
individual options are documented in the detailed
description following the general usage line.

In 395de250d (Expand ~ and ~user in core.excludesfile, commit.template),
we introduced the mechanism. But expanding ~ using getpw is not what
people overriding $HOME would usually expect. In particular, git looks
for the user's .gitconfig using $HOME, so it's better to be consistent.

git-svn has the following rule to detect the SVN base for its

first-parent ancestry. IOW,
git log --grep=^git-svn-id: --first-parent -1

The description of the configuration variable is obsolete and
wrong (saying only file content is used), not just incomplete.
It has used the attribute mechanism for a long time.
The documentation of gitattributes mentions the core.autocrlf
configuration variable in its description of crlf attribute.
Refer to the gitattributes documentation from here as well.

Add a paragraph about the swapped sides in a --merge rebase, which was
otherwise only documented in the sources.

description. Also remove the mention of the 'octopus' strategy, which
was copied from the git-merge description but is pointless in a

We parse unhandled.log files for empty_dir statements and make a
best effort attempt to recreate empty directories on fresh
clones and rebase. This should cover the majority of cases
where users work off a single branch or for projects where
branches do not differ in empty directories.
Since this cannot affect "normal" git commands like "checkout"
or "reset", so users switching between branches in a single
working directory should use the new "git svn mkdirs" command
after switching branches.

Make it clear in the docs that the merge takes the tree of HEAD and
ignores everything in the other branches. This should hopefully clear
up confusion, usually caused by the user looking for a strategy that
resolves all conflict hunks in favour of HEAD (which is completely
different and currently not supported).

Expose the command used by launch_editor() for scripts to use.
This should allow one to avoid searching for a proper editor
separately in each command.
git_editor(void) uses the logic to decide which editor to use
that used to live in launch_editor(). The function returns NULL
if there is no suitable editor; the caller is expected to issue
an error message when appropriate.
launch_editor() uses git_editor() and gives the error message the
same way as before when EDITOR is not set.
"git var GIT_EDITOR" gives the editor name, or an error message
when there is no appropriate one.
"git var -l" gives GIT_EDITOR=name only if there is an
appropriate editor.

The current technical documentation for the packfile protocol is both
sparse and incorrect. This documents the fetch-pack/upload-pack and
send-pack/ receive-pack protocols much more fully.
Add documentation from Shawn's upcoming http-protocol docs that is
shared by the packfile protocol. protocol-common.txt describes ABNF
notation amendments, refname rules and the packet line format.
Add documentation on the various capabilities supported by the
upload-pack and receive-pack protocols. protocol-capabilities.txt
describes multi-ack, thin-pack, side-band[-64k], shallow, no-progress,
include-tag, ofs-delta, delete-refs and report-status.

Since a0e4639 (filter-branch: fix ref rewriting with
--subdirectory-filter, 2008-08-12) git-filter-branch has done
nearest-ancestor rewriting when using a --subdirectory-filter.
However, that rewriting strategy is also a useful building block in
other tasks. For example, if you want to split out a subset of files
from your history, you would typically call
git filter-branch -- <refs> -- <files>
But this fails for all refs that do not point directly to a commit
that affects <files>, because their referenced commit will not be
rewritten and the ref remains untouched.
The code was already there for the --subdirectory-filter case, so just
introduce an option that enables it independently.

"-p" means "generate patch" in 'git log' and 'git diff', so it's
quite surprising that it means "suppress diffstat" in
'git format-patch'.
Keep the "-p" option for backward compatibility, but add
"--no-stat" as a more intuitive synonym. For backward compatibility
with scripts, we must allow combinations of --stat and --no-stat.
