Junio C Hamano 1c515bf7e2 Merge branch 'es/worktree-forced-ops-fix'
Fix a bug in which the same path could be registered under multiple
worktree entries if the path was missing (for instance, was removed
manually).  Also, as a convenience, expand the number of cases in
which --force is applicable.

* es/worktree-forced-ops-fix:
  doc-diff: force worktree add
  worktree: delete .git/worktrees if empty after 'remove'
  worktree: teach 'remove' to override lock when --force given twice
  worktree: teach 'move' to override lock when --force given twice
  worktree: teach 'add' to respect --force for registered but missing path
  worktree: disallow adding same path multiple times
  worktree: prepare for more checks of whether path can become worktree
  worktree: generalize delete_git_dir() to reduce code duplication
  worktree: move delete_git_dir() earlier in file for upcoming new callers
  worktree: don't die() in library function find_worktree()

Jeff King 684e742249 doc-diff: force worktree add
We avoid re-creating our temporary worktree if it's already
there. But we may run into a situation where the worktree
has been deleted, but an entry still exists in
$GIT_DIR/worktrees.

Older versions of git-worktree would annoyingly create a
series of duplicate entries. Recent versions now detect and
prevent this, allowing you to override with "-f". Since we
know that the worktree in question was just our temporary
workspace, it's safe for us to always pass "-f".

Eric Sunshine ad51743007 doc-diff: add --clean mode to remove temporary working gunk
As part of its operation, doc-diff creates a bunch of temporary
working files and holds onto them in order to speed up subsequent
invocations. These files are never deleted. Moreover, it creates a
temporary working tree (via git-wortkree) which likewise never gets
removed.

Without knowing the implementation details of the tool, a user may not
know how to clean up manually afterward. Worse, the user may find it
surprising and alarming to discover a working tree which s/he did not
create explicitly.

To address these issues, add a --clean mode which removes the
temporary working tree and deletes all generated files.

Eric Sunshine 83d4b5ff29 doc-diff: fix non-portable 'man' invocation
doc-diff invokes 'man' with the -l option to force "local" mode,
however, neither MacOS nor FreeBSD recognize this option. On those
platforms, if the argument to 'man' contains a slash, it is
automatically interpreted as a file specification, so a "local"-like
mode is not needed. And, it turns out, 'man' which does support -l
falls back to enabling -l automatically if it can't otherwise find a
manual entry corresponding to the argument. Since doc-diff always
passes an absolute path of the nroff source file to 'man', the -l
option kicks in anyhow, despite not being specified explicitly.
Therefore, make the invocation portable to the various platforms by
simply dropping -l.

Jeff King 27064fb7fb doc-diff: always use oids inside worktree
The doc-diff script immediately resolves its two endpoints
to actual object ids, so that we can reuse cached results
even if they appear under a different name. But we still use
the original name the user fed us when running "git
checkout" in our temporary worktree. This can lead to
confusing results:

  - the namespace inside the worktree is different than the
    one outside. In particular, "./doc-diff origin HEAD"
    will resolve HEAD inside the worktree, whose detached
    HEAD will be pointing at origin! As a result, such a
    diff would always be empty.

  - worse, we will store this result under the oid we got by
    resolving HEAD in the main worktree, thus polluting our
    cache

  - we didn't pass --detach, which meant that using a branch
    name would cause us to actually check out that branch,
    making it unavailable to other worktrees.

We can solve this by feeding the already-resolved object id
to git-checkout. That naturally forces a detached HEAD, but
just to make clear our expectation, let's explicitly pass
--detach.

Jeff King 7a76f5c611 SubmittingPatches: mention doc-diff
We already advise people to make sure their documentation
formats correctly. Let's point them at the doc-diff script,
which can help with that.

Let's also put a brief note in the script about its purpose,
since that otherwise can only be found in the original
commit message. Along with the existing -h/usage text,
that's hopefully enough for developers to make use of it.

Jeff King beb188e22a add a script to diff rendered documentation
After making a change to the documentation, it's easy to
forget to check the rendered version to make sure it was
formatted as you intended. And simply doing a diff between
the two built versions is less trivial than you might hope:

  - diffing the roff or html output isn't particularly
    readable; what we really care about is what the end user
    will see

  - you have to tweak a few build variables to avoid
    spurious differences (e.g., version numbers, build
    times)

Let's provide a script that builds and installs the manpages
for two commits, renders the results using "man", and diffs
the result. Since this is time-consuming, we'll also do our
best to avoid repeated work, keeping intermediate results
between runs.

Some of this could probably be made a little less ugly if we
built support into Documentation/Makefile. But by relying
only on "make install-man" working, this script should work
for generating a diff between any two versions, whether they
include this script or not.
