Older versions of AsciiDoc would convert the "--" in
"--option" into an emdash. According to 565e135
(Documentation: quote double-dash for AsciiDoc, 2011-06-29),
this is fixed in AsciiDoc 8.3.0. According to bf17126, we
don't support anything older than 8.4.1 anyway, so we no
longer need to worry about quoting.
Even though this does not change the output at all, there
are a few good reasons to drop the quoting:
1. It makes the source prettier to read.
2. We don't quote consistently, which may be confusing when
reading the source.
3. Asciidoctor does not like the quoting, and renders a
literal backslash.

In commit fbd4a70 (list-objects: mark more commits as edges in
mark_edges_uninteresting - 2013-08-16), we marked an increasing number
of edges uninteresting. This change, and the subsequent change to make
this conditional on --objects-edge, are used by --thin to make much
smaller packs for shallow clones.
Unfortunately, they cause a significant performance regression when
pushing non-shallow clones with lots of refs (23.322 seconds vs.
4.785 seconds with 22400 refs). Add an option to git rev-list,
--objects-edge-aggressive, that preserves this more aggressive behavior,
while leaving --objects-edge to provide more performant behavior.
Preserve the current behavior for the moment by using the aggressive
option.

Git's "ISO" date format does not really conform to the ISO 8601
standard due to small differences, and it cannot be parsed by ISO
8601-only parsers, e.g. those of XML toolchains.
The output from "--date=iso" deviates from ISO 8601 in these ways:
- a space instead of the `T` date/time delimiter
- a space between time and time zone
- no colon between hours and minutes of the time zone
Add a strict ISO 8601 date format for displaying committer and
author dates. Use the '%aI' and '%cI' format specifiers and add
'--date=iso-strict' or '--date=iso8601-strict' date format names.

The bitmap reachability index used to speed up the counting objects
phase during `pack-objects` can also be used to optimize a normal
rev-list if the only thing required are the SHA1s of the objects during
the list (i.e., not the path names at which trees and blobs were found).
Calling `git rev-list --objects --use-bitmap-index [committish]` will
perform an object iteration based on a bitmap result instead of actually
walking the object graph.
These are some example timings for `torvalds/linux` (warm cache,
best-of-five):
$ time git rev-list --objects master > /dev/null
real 0m34.191s
user 0m33.904s
sys 0m0.268s
$ time git rev-list --objects --use-bitmap-index master > /dev/null
real 0m1.041s
user 0m0.976s
sys 0m0.064s
Likewise, using `git rev-list --count --use-bitmap-index` will speed up
the counting operation by building the resulting bitmap and performing a
fast popcount (number of bits set on the bitmap) on the result.
Here are some sample timings of different ways to count commits in
`torvalds/linux`:
$ time git rev-list master | wc -l
399882
real 0m6.524s
user 0m6.060s
sys 0m3.284s
$ time git rev-list --count master
399882
real 0m4.318s
user 0m4.236s
sys 0m0.076s
$ time git rev-list --use-bitmap-index --count master
399882
real 0m0.217s
user 0m0.176s
sys 0m0.040s
This also respects negative refs, so you can use it to count
a slice of history:
$ time git rev-list --count v3.0..master
144843
real 0m1.971s
user 0m1.932s
sys 0m0.036s
$ time git rev-list --use-bitmap-index --count v3.0..master
real 0m0.280s
user 0m0.220s
sys 0m0.056s
Though note that the closer the endpoints, the less it helps. In the
traversal case, we have fewer commits to cross, so we take less time.
But the bitmap time is dominated by generating the pack revindex, which
is constant with respect to the refs given.
Note that you cannot yet get a fast --left-right count of a symmetric
difference (e.g., "--count --left-right master...topic"). The slow part
of that walk actually happens during the merge-base determination when
we parse "master...topic". Even though a count does not actually need to
know the real merge base (it only needs to take the symmetric difference
of the bitmaps), the revision code would require some refactoring to
handle this case.
Additionally, a `--test-bitmap` flag has been added that will perform
the same rev-list manually (i.e. using a normal revwalk) and using
bitmaps, and verify that the results are the same. This can be used to
exercise the bitmap code, and also to verify that the contents of the
.bitmap file are sane.

The point of these sections is generally to:
1. Give credit where it is due.
2. Give the reader an idea of where to ask questions or
file bug reports.
But they don't do a good job of either case. For (1), they
are out of date and incomplete. A much more accurate answer
can be gotten through shortlog or blame. For (2), the
correct contact point is generally git@vger, and even if you
wanted to cc the contact point, the out-of-date and
incomplete fields mean you're likely sending to somebody
useless.
So let's drop the fields entirely from all manpages except
git(1) itself. We already point people to the mailing list
for bug reports there, and we can update the Authors section
to give credit to the major contributors and point to
shortlog and blame for more information.
Each page has a "This is part of git" footer, so people can
follow that to the main git manpage.

The documentation was quite inconsistent when spelling 'git cmd' if it
only refers to the program, not to some specific invocation syntax:
both 'git-cmd' and 'git cmd' spellings exist.
The current trend goes towards dashless forms, and there is precedent
in 647ac70 (git-svn.txt: stop using dash-form of commands.,
2009-07-07) to actively eliminate the dashed variants.
Replace 'git-cmd' with 'git cmd' throughout, except where git-shell,
git-cvsserver, git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack, and

from the rev, and of ^rev as the complement, then multiple arguments to
git rev-list can be neither understood as the intersection nor the union

phrase this. So, add a paragraph which explains multiple arguments using

Since the git-* commands are not installed in $(bindir), using
"git-command <parameters>" in examples in the documentation is
not a good idea. On the other hand, it is nice to be able to
refer to each command using one hyphenated word. (There is no
escaping it, anyway: man page names cannot have spaces in them.)
This patch retains the dash in naming an operation, command,
program, process, or action. Complete command lines that can
be entered at a shell (i.e., without options omitted) are
made to use the dashless form.

Some uses of git-rev-list are to run it with --objects to see if
a range of objects between two or more commits is fully connected
or not. In such a case the caller doesn't care about the actual
object names or hash hints so formatting this data only for it to
be dumped to /dev/null by a redirect is a waste of CPU time. If
all the caller needs is the exit status then --quiet can be used
to bypass the commit and object formatting.

The --walk-reflogs logic and the --reverse logic are completely
incompatible with one another. Attempting to use both at the same
time leads to confusing results that sometimes violates the user's
formatting options or ignores the user's request to see the reflog
message and timestamp.
Unfortunately the implementation of both of these features is glued
onto the side of the revision walking machinary in such a way that
they are probably not going to be easy to make them compatible with
each other. Rather than offering the user confusing results we are
better off bailing out with an error message until such a time as
the implementations can be refactored to be compatible.

The flag "no_walk" is present in struct rev_info since a long time, but
so far has been in use exclusively by "git show".
With this flag, you can see all your refs, ordered by date of the last
commit:
$ git log --abbrev-commit --pretty=oneline --decorate --all --no-walk
which is extremely helpful if you have to juggle with a lot topic
branches, and do not remember in which one you introduced that uber
debug option, or simply want to get an overview what is cooking.
(Note that the "git log" invocation above does not output the same as
$ git show --abbrev-commit --pretty=oneline --decorate --all --quiet
since "git show" keeps the alphabetic order that "--all" returns the
refs in, even if the option "--date-order" was passed.)
For good measure, this also adds the "--do-walk" option which overrides
"--no-walk".
