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.

Johannes Schindelin 6f084a56fc branch --track: code cleanup and saner handling of local branches
This patch cleans up some complicated code, and replaces it with a
cleaner version, using code from remote.[ch], which got extended a
little in the process.  This also enables us to fix two cases:

The earlier "fix" to setup tracking only when the original ref started
with "refs/remotes" is wrong.  You are absolutely allowed to use a
separate layout for your tracking branches.  The correct fix, of course,
is to set up tracking information only when there is a matching
remote.<nick>.fetch line containing a colon.

Another corner case was not handled properly.  If two remotes write to
the original ref, just warn the user and do not set up tracking.

Johannes Schindelin 4017761fd8 branch.autosetupmerge: allow boolean values, or "all"
Junio noticed that switching on autosetupmerge unilaterally started
cluttering the config for local branches.  That is not the original
intention of branch.autosetupmerge, which was meant purely for
convenience when branching off of remote branches, but that semantics
got lost somewhere.

If you still want that "new" behavior, you can switch
branch.autosetupmerge to the value "all".  Otherwise, it is interpreted
as a boolean, which triggers setting up defaults _only_ when branching
off of a remote branch, i.e. the originally intended behavior.

Jeff King 967506bbbd Documentation: quote {non-attributes} for asciidoc
Asciidoc treats {foo} as an attribute to be substituted; if
'foo' doesn't exist as an attribute, then the entire line
gets dropped. When the literal {foo} is desired, \{foo} is
required.

The exceptions to this rule are:
  - inside literal blocks
  - if the 'foo' contains non-alphanumeric characters (e.g.,
    {foo|bar} is assumed not to be an attribute)

Paolo Bonzini 0746d19a82 git-branch, git-checkout: autosetup for remote branch tracking
In order to track and build on top of a branch 'topic' you track from
your upstream repository, you often would end up doing this sequence:

  git checkout -b mytopic origin/topic
  git config --add branch.mytopic.remote origin
  git config --add branch.mytopic.merge refs/heads/topic

This would first fork your own 'mytopic' branch from the 'topic'
branch you track from the 'origin' repository; then it would set up two
configuration variables so that 'git pull' without parameters does the
right thing while you are on your own 'mytopic' branch.

This commit adds a --track option to git-branch, so that "git
branch --track mytopic origin/topic" performs the latter two actions
when creating your 'mytopic' branch.

If the configuration variable branch.autosetupmerge is set to true, you
do not have to pass the --track option explicitly; further patches in
this series allow setting the variable with a "git remote add" option.
The configuration variable is off by default, and there is a --no-track
option to countermand it even if the variable is set.

Junio C Hamano 1be0659efc checkout: merge local modifications while switching branches.
* Instead of going interactive, introduce a command line switch
   '-m' to allow merging changes when normal two-way merge by
   read-tree prevents branch switching.

 * Leave the unmerged stages intact if automerge fails, but
   reset index entries of cleanly merged paths to that of the
   new branch, so that "git diff" (not "git diff HEAD") would
   show the local modifications.

 * Swap the order of trees in read-tree three-way merge used in
   the fallback, so that `git diff` to show the conflicts become
   more natural.

 * Describe the new option and give more examples in the documentation.

Junio C Hamano 215a7ad1ef Big tool rename.
As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch.  The primary differences
since 0.99.6 are:

  (1) git-*-script are no more.  The commands installed do not
      have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if
      something is implemented as a shell script or not.

  (2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with
      'index' if that is what they mean.

There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and
Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward
compatibility support  is expected to be removed in the near
future.
