Stephan Beyer 3240240ff4 Docs: Use "-l::\n--long\n" format in OPTIONS sections
The OPTIONS section of a documentation file contains a list
of the options a git command accepts.

Currently there are several variants to describe the case that
different options (almost) do the same in the OPTIONS section.

Some are:

 -f, --foo::
 -f|--foo::
 -f | --foo::

But AsciiDoc has the special form:

 -f::
 --foo::

This patch applies this form to the documentation of the whole git suite,
and removes useless em-dash prevention, so \--foo becomes --foo.

Christian Couder 9e1f0a85c6 documentation: move git(7) to git(1)
As the "git" man page describes the "git" command at the end-user
level, it seems better to move it to man section 1.

Johannes Schindelin be4d2c83b6 submodule update: add convenience option --init
When a submodule is not initialized and you do not want to change the
defaults from .gitmodules anyway, you can now say

	$ git submodule update --init <name>

When "update" is called without --init on an uninitialized submodule,
a hint to use --init is printed.

Mark Levedahl d4264ca323 git-submodule - Allow adding a submodule in-place
When working in the top-level project, it is useful to create a new
submodule as a git repo in a subdirectory, then add that submodule to
the top-level in place.

This patch allows "git submodule add <intended url> subdir" to add the
existing subdir to the current project.  The presumption is the user will
later push / clone the subdir to the <intended url> so that future
submodule init / updates will work.

Absent this patch, "git submodule add" insists upon cloning the subdir
from a repository at the given url, which is fine for adding an existing
project in, but less useful when adding a new submodule from scratch to an
existing project.  The former functionality remains, and the clone is
attempted if the subdir does not already exist as a valid git repo.

Steffen Prohaska c4a95c9f4b submodule: Document the details of the command line syntax
Only "status" accepts "--cached" and the preferred way of
passing sub-command specific options is after the sub-command.

The documentation is adapted to reflect this.

Dan McGee 5162e69732 Documentation: rename gitlink macro to linkgit
Between AsciiDoc 8.2.2 and 8.2.3, the following change was made to the stock
Asciidoc configuration:

@@ -149,7 +153,10 @@
 # Inline macros.
 # Backslash prefix required for escape processing.
 # (?s) re flag for line spanning.
-(?su)[\\]?(?P<name>\w(\w|-)*?):(?P<target>\S*?)(\[(?P<attrlist>.*?)\])=
+
+# Explicit so they can be nested.
+(?su)[\\]?(?P<name>(http|https|ftp|file|mailto|callto|image|link)):(?P<target>\S*?)(\[(?P<attrlist>.*?)\])=
+
 # Anchor: [[[id]]]. Bibliographic anchor.
 (?su)[\\]?\[\[\[(?P<attrlist>[\w][\w-]*?)\]\]\]=anchor3
 # Anchor: [[id,xreflabel]]

This default regex now matches explicit values, and unfortunately in this
case gitlink was being matched by just 'link', causing the wrong inline
macro template to be applied. By renaming the macro, we can avoid being
matched by the wrong regex.

Mark Levedahl f31a522a2d git-submodule - allow a relative path as the subproject url
This allows a subproject's location to be specified and stored as relative
to the parent project's location (e.g., ./foo, or ../foo). This url is
stored in .gitmodules as given. It is resolved into an absolute url by
appending it to the parent project's url when the information is written
to .git/config (i.e., during submodule add for the originator, and
submodule init for a downstream recipient). This allows cloning of the
project to work "as expected" if the project is hosted on a different
server than when the subprojects were added.

Matt Kraai b2493649fe Add [verse] to the SYNOPSIS section of git-submodule.txt.
The SYNOPSIS section of git-submodule.txt contains two forms.  Since
it doesn't use the verse style, the line boundary between them is not
preserved and the second form can appear on the same line as the first
form.  Adding [verse] enables the verse style, which preserves the
line boundary between them.

Sven Verdoolaege ecda072380 git-submodule: provide easy way of adding new submodules
To make a submodule effectively usable, the path and
a URL where the submodule can be cloned need to be stored
in .gitmodules.  This subcommand takes care of setting
this information after cloning the new submodule.
Only the index is updated, so, if needed, the user may still
change the URL or switch to a different branch of the submodule
before committing.

Lars Hjemli 211b7f19c7 git-submodule: clone during update, not during init
This teaches 'git-submodule init' to register submodule paths and urls in
.git/config instead of actually cloning them. The cloning is now handled
as part of 'git-submodule update'.

With this change it is possible to specify preferred/alternate urls for
the submodules in .git/config before the submodules are cloned.

Lars Hjemli 70c7ac22de Add git-submodule command
This command can be used to initialize, update and inspect submodules. It
uses a .gitmodules file, readable by git-config, in the top level directory
of the 'superproject' to specify a mapping between submodule paths and
repository url.

Example .gitmodules layout:

[module "git"]
	url = git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git

With this entry in .gitmodules (and a commit reference in the index entry for
the path "git"), the command 'git submodule init' will clone the repository
at kernel.org into the directory "git".

Known issues
============
There is currently no way to override the url found in the .gitmodules file,
except by manually creating the subproject repository. The place to fix this
in the script has a rather long comment about a possible plan.

Funny paths will be quoted in the output from git-ls-files, but git-submodule
does not attempt to unquote (or even detect the presence of) such paths.
