Junio C Hamano 91af7ae54f core.whitespace: documentation updates.
This adds description of core.whitespace to the manual page of git-config,
and updates the stale description of whitespace handling in the manual
page of git-apply.

Also demote "strip" to a synonym status for "fix" as the value of --whitespace
option given to git-apply.

Sergei Organov d336fc096b Documentation: quote commit messages consistently.
Documentation quotes commit messages 14 times with double-quotes, and 7
times with single-quotes. The patch turns everything to double-quotes.

A nice side effect is that documentation becomes more Windoze-friendly
as AFAIK single quotes won't work there.

documentation.  This patch adapts diff-format.txt to additionally
mention the git-diff program, and includes diff-format.txt into

Junio C Hamano dee48c3c7e git-merge: document but discourage the historical syntax
Historically "git merge" took its command line arguments in a
rather strange order.  Document the historical syntax, and also
document clearly that it is not encouraged in new scripts.

There is no reason to deprecate the historical syntax, as the
current code can sanely tell which syntax the caller is using,
and existing scripts by people do use the historical syntax.

Benoit Sigoure 3b27428b9d core-tutorial: Catch up with current Git
No longer talk about Cogito since it's deprecated.  Some scripts (such as
git-reset or git-branch) have undergone builtinification so adjust the text
to reflect this.

Fix a typo in the description of git-show-branch (merges are indicated by a
`-', not by a `.').

git-pull/git-push do not seem to use the dumb git-ssh-fetch/git-ssh-upload
(the text was probably missing a word).

Adjust a link that wasn't rendered properly because it was wrapped.

Christian Couder 71b0251cdd Bisect run: "skip" current commit if script exit code is 125.
This is incompatible with previous versions because an exit code
of 125 used to mark current commit as "bad". But hopefully this exit
code is not much used by test scripts or other programs. (126 and 127
are used by POSIX compliant shells to mean "found but not
executable" and "command not found", respectively.)

Steffen Prohaska e3fa2c761f mergetool: use path to mergetool in config var mergetool.<tool>.path
This commit adds a mechanism to provide absolute paths to the
external programs called by 'git mergetool'. A path can be
specified in the configuation variable mergetool.<tool>.path.
The configuration variable is similar to how we name branches
and remotes. It is extensible if we need to specify more details
about a tool.

The mechanism is especially useful on Windows, where external
programs are unlikely to be in PATH.
