47f0b6d5d4 Fall back to three-way merge when applying a patch.
After git-apply fails, attempt to find a base tree that the patch
cleanly applies to, and do a three-way merge using that base tree into
the current index, if .dotest/.3way file exists.  This flag can be
controlled by giving -m flag to git-applymbox command.

When the fall-back merge fails, the working tree can be resolved the
same way as you would normally hand resolve a conflicting merge.
When making commit, use .dotest/final-commit as the log message
template.  Or you could just choose to 'git-checkout-index -f -a'
to revert the failed merge.

bc162e40ea Allow "-u" flag to tag signing
The current "git tag -s" thing always uses the tagger name as the signing
user key, which is very irritating, since my key is under my email
address, but the tagger key obviously contains the actual machine name
too.

Now, I could just use "GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL" and force it to be my real
email, but I actually think that it's nice to see which machine I use for
my work.

So rather than force my tagger ID to have to match the gpg key name, just
support the "-u" flag to "git tag" instead. It implicitly enables signing,
since it doesn't make any sense without it. Thus:

	git tag -u <gpg-key-name> <tag-name> [<tagged-object>]

will use the named gpg key for signing.

df8baa42fe [PATCH] Random documentation fixes
The fixes focuses on improving the HTML output. Most noteworthy:

 - Fix the Makefile to also make various *.html files depend on
   included files.

 - Consistently use 'NOTE: ...' instead of '[ ... ]' for additional
   info.

 - Fix ending '::' for description lists in OPTION section etc.

 - Fix paragraphs in description lists ending up as preformated text.

 - Always use listingblocks (preformatted text wrapped in lines with -----)
   for examples that span empty lines, so they are put in only one HTML
   block.

 - Use '1.' instead of '(1)' for numbered lists.

 - Fix linking to other GIT docs.

 - git-rev-list.txt: put option descriptions in an OPTION section.

d154dcc8b6 [PATCH] Retitle 'inspecting what happened' section.
In the tutorial, there is a section entitled "Checking it out"
that shows how to use diff log and whatchanged to insect some
of the repository state.

As the phrase "checkout" ususally carries some baggage WRT
other revision control mechanism, I suggest that we re-title
this section something like "Inspecting Changes".

0fe51391a8 Retire git-export.
git-export was done as a concept example on how easy it is to export
the git data to something else. It's much less powerful than any
number of trivial one-liner scripts now, and real exporters would not
ever use git-export.

It's obviously much less powerful than "git-whatchanged", or just
about any combination of git-rev-list + git-diff-tree.
