3070b603ab Fix multi-paragraph list items in OPTIONS section
This patch makes the html docs right, makes the asciidoc docs a bit odd
but consistent with what is there already, and makes the manpages look
OK using docbook-xsl 1.68, but miss a paragraph separator when using 1.69.

For the manpages, current is like

       -A <author_file>
              Read a file with lines on the form

              username = User's Full Name <email@addr.es>

              and use "User's Full Name <email@addr.es>" as the GIT

With this patch, docbook-xsl v1.68 looks like

       -A <author_file>
              Read a file with lines on the form

                      username = User's Full Name <email@addr.es>

              and use "User's Full Name <email@addr.es>" as the GIT author and

while docbook-xsl v1.69 becomes

       -A <author_file>
              Read a file with lines on the form

                        username = User's Full Name <email@addr.es>
              and use "User's Full Name <email@addr.es>" as the GIT author and

The extra indentation is to keep the v1.69 manpage looking sane.

7aaa715d0a fsck-objects: Remove --standalone
The fsck-objects command (back then it was called fsck-cache)
used to complain if objects referred to by files in .git/refs/
or objects stored in files under .git/objects/??/ were not found
as stand-alone SHA1 files (i.e.  found in alternate object pools
or packed archives stored under .git/objects/pack).  Back then,
packs and alternates were new curiosity and having everything as
loose objects were the norm.

When we adjusted the behaviour of fsck-cache to consider objects
found in packs are OK, we introduced the --standalone flag as a
backward compatibility measure.

It still correctly checks if your repository is complete and
consists only of loose objects, so in that sense it is doing the
"right" thing, but checking that is pointless these days.  This
commit removes --standalone flag.

e920b56557 Tweak asciidoc output to work with broken docbook-xsl
docbook-xsl v1.68 incorrectly converts "<screen>" from docbook to
manpage by not rendering it verbatim. v1.69 handles it correctly, but
not many current popular distributions ship with it.

asciidoc by default converts "listingblock" to "<screen>". This change
causes asciidoc in git to convert "listingblock" to "<literallayout>", which
both old and new docbook-xsl handle correctly.

The difference can be seen in any manpage which includes a multi-line
example, such as git-branch.

[jc: the original patch was an disaster for html backends, so I made
 it apply only to docbook backends. ]

de84f99c12 Add --temp and --stage=all options to checkout-index.
Sometimes it is convient for a Porcelain to be able to checkout all
unmerged files in all stages so that an external merge tool can be
executed by the Porcelain or the end-user.  Using git-unpack-file
on each stage individually incurs a rather high penalty due to the
need to fork for each file version obtained.  git-checkout-index -a
--stage=all will now do the same thing, but faster.

Well, assuming breaking --merge-order is fine, here's a patch (on top of

I didn't add the logic for --before/--after flags, but that should be

9debe63d10 Teach git-checkout-index to read filenames from stdin.
Since git-checkout-index is often used from scripts which
may have a stream of filenames they wish to checkout it is
more convenient to use --stdin than xargs.  On platforms
where fork performance is currently sub-optimal and
the length of a command line is limited (*cough* Cygwin
*cough*) running a single git-checkout-index process for
a large number of files beats spawning it multiple times
from xargs.

File names are still accepted on the command line if
--stdin is not supplied.  Nothing is performed if no files
are supplied on the command line or by stdin.

d4a1cab541 Add new git-rm command with documentation
This adds a git-rm command which provides convenience similar to
git-add, (and a bit more since it takes care of the rm as well if
given -f).

Like git-add, git-rm expands the given path names through
git-ls-files. This means it only acts on files listed in the
index. And it does act recursively on directories by default, (no -r
needed as in the case of rm itself). When it recurses, it does not
remove empty directories that are left behind.

3fda8c4cc7 Introducing git-cvsserver -- a CVS emulator for git.
git-cvsserver is highly functional. However, not all methods are implemented,
and for those methods that are implemented, not all switches are implemented.
All the common read operations are implemented, and add/remove/commit are
supported.

Testing has been done using both the CLI CVS client, and the Eclipse CVS
plugin. Most functionality works fine with both of these clients.

Currently git-cvsserver only works over SSH connections, see the
Documentation for more details on how to configure your client. It
does not support pserver for anonymous access but it should not be
hard to implement. Anonymous access will need tighter input validation.

In our very informal tests, it seems to be significantly faster than a real
CVS server.

This utility depends on a version of git-cvsannotate that supports -S and on
DBD::SQLite.

aa064743fa git-push: Update documentation to describe the no-refspec behavior.
It turns out that the git-push documentation didn't describe what it
would do when not given a refspec, (not on the command line, nor in a
remotes file). This is fairly important for the user who is trying to
understand operations such as:

	git clone git://something/some/where
	# hack, hack, hack
	git push origin

I tracked the mystery behavior down to git-send-pack and lifted the
relevant portion of its documentation up to git-push, (namely that all
refs existing both locally and remotely are updated).
