Tay Ray Chuan 9839018e87 fetch and pull: learn --progress
Note that in the documentation for git-pull, documentation for the
--progress option is displayed under the "Options related to fetching"
subtitle via fetch-options.txt.

Also, update the documentation of the -q/--quiet option for git-pull to
mention its effect on progress reporting during fetching.

Thomas Rast 0b444cdb19 Documentation: spell 'git cmd' without dash throughout
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
git-upload-archive are concerned, because those really live in the
$PATH.

Jay Soffian 28a1540132 builtin-fetch: add --dry-run option
Teach fetch --dry-run as users of "git remote prune" switching to "git fetch
--prune" may expect it. Unfortunately OPT__DRY_RUN() cannot be used as fetch
already uses "-n" for something else.

Björn Gustavsson 16679e373f Teach the --multiple option to 'git fetch'
Add the --multiple option to specify that all arguments are either
groups or remotes. The primary reason for adding this option is
to allow us to re-implement 'git remote update' using fetch.

It would have been nice if this option was not needed, but since
the colon in a refspec is optional, it is in general not possible
to know whether a single, colon-less argument is a remote or a
refspec.

Björn Gustavsson 9c4a036b34 Teach the --all option to 'git fetch'
'git remote' is meant for managing remotes and 'git fetch' is meant
for actually fetching data from remote repositories. Therefore, it is
not logical that you must use 'git remote update' to fetch from
more than one repository at once.

Add the --all option to 'git fetch', to tell it to attempt to fetch
from all remotes. Also, if --all is not given, the <repository>
argument is allowed to be the name of a group, to allow fetching
from all repositories in the group.

Other options except -v and -q are silently ignored.

Ori Avtalion 57f6ec0290 Change mentions of "git programs" to "git commands"
Most of the docs and printouts refer to "commands" when discussing what
the end users call via the "git" top-level program. We should refer them
as "git programs" when we discuss the fact that the commands are
implemented as separate programs, but in other contexts, it is better to
use the term "git commands" consistently.

Jonathan Nieder ba020ef5eb manpages: italicize git command names (which were in teletype font)
The names of git commands are not meant to be entered at the
commandline; they are just names. So we render them in italics,
as is usual for command names in manpages.

Using

	doit () {
	  perl -e 'for (<>) { s/\`(git-[^\`.]*)\`/'\''\1'\''/g; print }'
	}
	for i in git*.txt config.txt diff*.txt blame*.txt fetch*.txt i18n.txt \

Stephan Beyer 3240240ff4 Docs: Use "-l::\n--long\n" format in OPTIONS sections
The OPTIONS section of a documentation file contains a list
of the options a git command accepts.

Currently there are several variants to describe the case that
different options (almost) do the same in the OPTIONS section.

Some are:

 -f, --foo::
 -f|--foo::
 -f | --foo::

But AsciiDoc has the special form:

 -f::
 --foo::

This patch applies this form to the documentation of the whole git suite,
and removes useless em-dash prevention, so \--foo becomes --foo.

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.

Michal Ostrowski 2c620a1ad1 git-fetch: pass --upload-pack to fetch-pack
Without this, there is no way to specify a remote executable when
invoking git-pull/git-fetch as there is for git-clone.

[jc: I have a mild suspicion that this is a broken environment (aka
 sysadmin disservice).  It may be legal to configure your sshd to
 spawn named program without involving shell at all, and if your
 sysadmin does so and you have your git programs under your home
 directory, you would need something like this, but then I suspect
 you would need such workaround everywhere, not just git. But we
 have these options we can use to work around the issue, so there
 is no strong reason not to reject this patch, either. ]

Junio C Hamano 03febf99bc git-fetch: auto-following tags.
I added things to ls-remote so that Cogito can auto-follow tags
easily and correctly a while ago, but git-fetch did not use the
facility.  Recently added git-describe command relies on
repository keeping up-to-date set of tags, which made it much
more attractive to automatically follow tags, so we do that as
well.
