This commit is similar to 379805051d ("Documentation: render revisions
correctly under Asciidoctor", 2018-05-06) and is a no-op with AsciiDoc.
When creating a literal block from an indented block without any sort of
delimiters, Asciidoctor strips off all leading whitespace, resulting in
a misrendered ASCII drawing. Use an explicit literal block to indicate
to Asciidoctor that we want to keep the leading whitespace. Drop the
common indentation for all lines to make this a no-op with AsciiDoc.

user-manual.txt is the only file we process using the "book" doctype.
When we use AsciiDoc, user-manual.conf ensures that the linkgit macro
expands into something like
<ulink url="git-foo.html">git-foo(1)</ulink>
in user-manual.xml, which we then process into a clickable link, both in
user-manual.html and user-manual.pdf. With Asciidoctor,
user-manual.conf is ignored (this is expected) and our
Asciidoctor-specific implementation of linkgit kicks in:
<citerefentry>
<refentrytitle>git-foo</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum>
</citerefentry>
This eventually renders as "git-foo(1)", which is not bad, but it
doesn't turn into a link.
Teach our Asciidoctor-specific implementation of the linkgit macro that
if the doctype is "book", we should emit <ulink .../> just like we do
with AsciiDoc. While we're doing this, future-proof by supporting a
"prefix". The implementation in user-manual.conf doesn't support this,
and we don't need this for now because user-manual.txt is the only file
we process this way (and it's immediately in Documentation/).

When AsciiDoc processes user-manual.txt, it generates a book containing
chapters containing sections. So for example, we have chapter 6,
"Advanced branch management", which contains four relatively short
sections, 6.1-6.4. Asciidoctor generates a book containing *parts*
containing *chapters* instead. So part 6, "Advanced branch management"
contains four short chapters, 1-4. This looks a bit odd.
To make AsciiDoc (8.6.10) and Asciidoctor (1.5.5) handle these the same,
change from indicating chapters like so:
[[foobar]]
Foobar
======
to doing it like so:
[[foobar]]
== Foobar
Same thing for sections (line of dashes to ===), subsections (line of
tildes to ====) and subsubsections (line of carets to =====). Mark the
appendices with "[appendix]", which both AsciiDoc and Asciidoctor
understand. This means we need to drop the "Appendix X: " from their
titles, or those "Appendix X: " would be included literally in the name
of the appendix.
This commit is a no-op for AsciiDoc: The generated user-manual.xml is
identical before and after this patch. Asciidoctor now creates the same
chapter-section-subsection structure as AsciiDoc.
Changing the book title at the start of the document to similarly use
"=" instead of a line of equal signs makes no difference with any of the
engines, but let's do that change anyway for consistency.

diff, log doc: say "patch text" instead of "patches"
A poster on Stackoverflow was confused that the documentation of git-log
promised to generate "patches" or "patch files" with -p, but there were
none to be found. Rewrite the corresponding paragraph to talk about
"patch text" to avoid the confusion.
Shorten the language to say "X does Y" in place of "X does not Z, but Y".
Cross-reference the referred-to commands like the rest of the file does.
Enumerate git-show because it includes the description as well.
Mention porcelain commands before plumbing commands because I guess that
the paragraph is read more frequently in their context.

After the previous commit, AsciiDoc and Asciidoctor render the manpage
headers identically, so we no longer need the "cut the header" part of
our `--cut-header-footer` option. We do still need the "cut the footer"
part, though. The previous commits improved the rendering of the footer
in Asciidoctor by quite a bit, but the two programs still disagree on
how to format the date in the footer: 01/01/1970 vs 1970-01-01.
We could keep using `--cut-header-footer`, but it would be nice if we
had a slightly smaller hammer `--cut-footer` that would be less likely
to hide regressions. Rather than simply adding such an option, let's
also drop `--cut-header-footer`, i.e., rework it to lose the "header"
part of its name and functionality.
`--cut-header-footer` is just a developer tool and it probably has no
more than a handful of users, so we can afford to be aggressive.

As can be seen from the previous commit, there are three attributes that
we provide to AsciiDoc through asciidoc.conf. Asciidoctor ignores that
file. After that patch, newer versions of Asciidoctor pick up the
`manmanual` and `mansource` attributes as we invoke `asciidoctor`, but
they don't pick up `manversion`. ([1] says: "Not used by Asciidoctor.")
Older versions (<1.5.7) don't handle these attributes at all. As a
result, we are missing one or three `<refmiscinfo/>` tags in each
xml-file produced when we build with Asciidoctor.
Because of this, xmlto doesn't include the Git version number in the
rendered manpages. And in particular, with versions <1.5.7, the manpage
footers instead contain the fairly ugly "[FIXME: source]".
That Asciidoctor ignores asciidoc.conf is nothing new. This is why we
implement the `linkgit:` macro in asciidoc.conf *and* in
asciidoctor-extensions.rb. Follow suit and provide these tags in
asciidoctor-extensions.rb, using a "postprocessor" extension where we
just search and replace in the XML, treated as text.
We may consider a few alternatives:
* Inject these lines into the xml-files from the *Makefile*, e.g.,
using `sed`. That would reduce repetition, but it feels wrong to
impose another step and another risk on the AsciiDoc-processing only
to benefit the Asciidoctor-one.
* I tried providing a "docinfo processor" to inject these tags, but
could not figure out how to "merge" the two <refmeta/> sections that
resulted. To avoid xmlto barfing on the result, I needed to use
`xmlto --skip-validation ...`, which seems unfortunate.
Let's instead inject the missing tags using a postprocessor. We'll make
it fairly obvious that we aim to inject the exact same three lines of
`<refmiscinfo/>` that asciidoc.conf provides. We inject them in
*post*-processing so we need to do the variable expansion ourselves. We
do introduce the bug that asciidoc.conf already has in that we won't do
any escaping, e.g., of funky versions like "some v <2.25, >2.20".
The postprocessor we add here works on the XML as raw text and doesn't
really use the full potential of XML to do a more structured injection.
This is actually precisely what the Asciidoctor User Manual does in its
postprocessor example [2]. I looked into two other approaches:
1. The nokogiri library is apparently the "modern" way of doing XML
in ruby. I got it working fairly easily:
require 'nokogiri'
doc = Nokogiri::XML(output)
doc.search("refmeta").each { |n| n.add_child(new_tags) }
output = doc.to_xml
However, this adds another dependency (e.g., the "ruby-nokogiri"
package on Ubuntu). Using Asciidoctor is not our default, but it
will probably need to become so soon. Let's avoid adding a
dependency just so that we can say "search...add_child" rather than
"sub(regex...)".
2. The older REXML is apparently always(?) bundled with ruby, but I
couldn't even parse the original document:
require 'rexml/document'
doc = REXML::Document.new(output)
...
The error was "no implicit conversion of nil into String" and I
stopped there.
I don't think it's unlikely that doing a plain old search-and-replace
will work just as fine or better compared to parsing XML and worrying
about libraries and library versions.

Rather than hardcoding "Git Manual" and "Git" as the manual and source
in asciidoc.conf, provide them as attributes `manmanual` and
`mansource`. Rename the `git_version` attribute to `manversion`.
These new attribute names are not arbitrary, see, e.g., [1].
For AsciiDoc (8.6.10) and Asciidoctor <1.5.7, this is a no-op. Starting
with Asciidoctor 1.5.7, `manmanual` and `mansource` actually end up in
the xml-files and eventually in the rendered manpages. In particular,
the manpage headers now render just as with AsciiDoc.
No versions of Asciidoctor pick up the `manversion` [2], and older
versions don't pick up any of these attributes. -- We'll fix that with a
bit of a hack in the next commit.

In b57e8119e6 (submodule: teach set-branch subcommand, 2019-02-08), the
`set-branch` subcommand was added for submodules. When the documentation
was written, the syntax for a "index term" in AsciiDoc was
accidentally used. This caused the documentation to be rendered as
set-branch -d|--default)|(-b|--branch <branch> [--] <path>
instead of
set-branch ((-d|--default)|(-b|--branch <branch>)) [--] <path>
In addition to this, the original documentation was possibly confusing
as it made it seem as if the `-b` option didn't accept a `<branch>`
argument.
Break `--default` and `--branch` into their own separate invocations to
make it obvious that these options are mutually exclusive. Also, this
removes the surrounding parentheses so that the "index term" syntax is
not triggered.

Our documentation toolchain has traditionally been built around DocBook
4.5. This version of DocBook is the last DTD-based version of DocBook.
In 2009, DocBook 5 was introduced using namespaces and its syntax is
expressed in RELAX NG, which is more expressive and allows a wider
variety of syntax forms.
Asciidoctor, one of the alternatives for building our documentation,
moved support for DocBook 4.5 out of core in its recent 2.0 release and
now only supports DocBook 5 in the main release. The DocBoook 4.5
converter is still available as a separate component, but this is not
available in most distro packages. This would not be a problem but for
the fact that we use xmlto, which is still stuck in the DocBook 4.5 era.
xmlto performs DTD validation as part of the build process. This is not
problematic for DocBook 4.5, which has a valid DTD, but it clearly
cannot work for DocBook 5, since no DTD can adequately express its full
syntax. In addition, even if xmlto did support RELAX NG validation,
that wouldn't be sufficient because it uses the libxml2-based xmllint to
do so, which has known problems with validating interleaves in RELAX NG.
Fortunately, there's an easy way forward: ask Asciidoctor to use its
DocBook 5 backend and tell xmlto to skip validation. Asciidoctor has
supported DocBook 5 since v0.1.4 in 2013 and xmlto has supported
skipping validation for probably longer than that.
We also need to teach xmlto how to use the namespaced DocBook XSLT
stylesheets instead of the non-namespaced ones it usually uses.
Normally these stylesheets are interchangeable, but the non-namespaced
ones have a bug that causes them not to strip whitespace automatically
from certain elements when namespaces are in use. This results in
additional whitespace at the beginning of list elements, which is
jarring and unsightly.
We can do this by passing a custom stylesheet with the -x option that
simply imports the namespaced stylesheets via a URL. Any system with
support for XML catalogs will automatically look this URL up and
reference a local copy instead without us having to know where this
local copy is located. We know that anyone using xmlto will already
have catalogs set up properly since the DocBook 4.5 DTD used during
validation is also looked up via catalogs. All major Linux
distributions distribute the necessary stylesheets and have built-in
catalog support, and Homebrew does as well, albeit with a requirement to
set an environment variable to enable catalog support.
On the off chance that someone lacks support for catalogs, it is
possible for xmlto (via xmllint) to download the stylesheets from the
URLs in question, although this will likely perform poorly enough to
attract attention. People still have the option of using the prebuilt
documentation that we ship, so happily this should not be an impediment.
Finally, we need to filter out some messages from other stylesheets that
occur when invoking dblatex in the CI job. This tool strips namespaces
much like the unnamespaced DocBook stylesheets and prints similar
messages. If we permit these messages to be printed to standard error,
our documentation CI job will fail because we check standard error for
unexpected output. Due to dblatex's reliance on Python 2, we may need
to revisit its use in the future, in which case this problem may go
away, but this can be delayed until a future patch.
The final message we filter is due to libxslt on modern Debian and
Ubuntu. The patch which they use to implement reproducible ID
generation also prints messages about the ID generation. While this
doesn't affect our current CI images since they use Ubuntu 16.04 which
lacks this patch, if we upgrade to Ubuntu 18.04 or a modern Debian,
these messages will appear and, like the above messages, cause a CI
failure.
