Make clear in the documentation that when using --branches/-b and
--prefix with 'init', the prefix must include a trailing slash.
This matches the actual behavior of git-svn, e.g.:
$ git svn init -Ttrunk -treleases -bbranches --prefix xxx \
http://svn.sacredchao.net/svn/quodlibet/
--prefix='xxx' must have a trailing slash '/'
$

Jakub Narebski pointed out that the git-gui blame viewer is not a
widely known feature, but is incredibly useful. Part of the issue
is advertising. Up until now we haven't even referenced git-gui from
within the core Git manual pages, mostly because I just wasn't sure
how I wanted to supply git-gui documentation to end-users, or how
that documentation should integrate with the core Git documentation.
Based upon Jakub's comment that many users may not even know that
the gui is available in a stock Git distribution I'm offering up
two basic manual pages: git-citool and git-gui. These should offer
enough of a starting point for users to identify that the gui exists,
and how to start it. Future releases of git-gui may contain their
own documentation system available from within a running git-gui.
But not today.

It turns out that the attribute definition we have had for a
long time to hide "^" character from AsciiDoc 7 was not honored
by AsciiDoc 8 even under "-a asciidoc7compatible" mode. There is
a similar breakage with the "compatible" mode with + characters.
The double colon at the end of definition list term needs
to be attached to the term, without a whitespace. After this
minimum fixups, AsciiDoc 8 (I used 8.2.1 on Debian) with
compatibility mode seems to produce reasonably good results.

Asciidoc treats a line starting with a period followed by a title as a
blocktitle element. My introduction of gitmodules(5) unfortunatly broke
the documentation build process due to this processing, since it made
asciidoc generate an illegal (empty) synopsis element. Removing the leading
period fixes the problem and also makes gitmodules(5) use the same synopsis
notation as gitattributes(5).

When refactoring code to split one iteration of a too deeply
nested loop into a separate function, it inevitably makes the
indentation levels shallower (that's the sole point of such a
refactoring). With "git blame -w", you can ignore such
re-indentation and pass blame for such moved lines to the
parent.

Make git-cvsserver understand some options inspired by
git-daemon, namely --base-path, --export-all, --strict-paths.
Also allow the caller to specify a whitelist of allowed
directories, again similar to git-daemon.
While already adding option parsing also support the common
--help and --version options.
Rationale:
While the gitcvs.enabled configuration option already
offers means to limit git-cvsserver access to a repository,
there are some use cases where other methods of access
control prove to be more useful.
E.g. if setting up a pserver for a collection of public
repositories one might want limit the exported repositories
to exactly the directory this collection is located whithout
having to worry about other repositories that might lie around
with the configuration variable set (never trust your users ;)

This teaches 'git-submodule init' to register submodule paths and urls in
.git/config instead of actually cloning them. The cloning is now handled
as part of 'git-submodule update'.
With this change it is possible to specify preferred/alternate urls for
