Documentation: convert SubmittingPatches to AsciiDoc

2017-11-13T04:25:19+00:00

The SubmittingPatches document is often cited by outside parties as an
example of good practices to follow, including logical, independent
commits; patch sign-offs; and sending patches to a mailing list.
Currently, people who want to cite a particular section tend to either
refer to it by name and let the interested party search through the
document to find it, or link to a given line number on GitHub and hope
the file doesn't change.

Instead, convert the document to AsciiDoc.  Build it as part of the
technical documentation, since it is likely of interest to the same
group of people.  Provide stable links to the sections which outside
parties are likely to want to link to.  Make some minor structural
changes to organize it so that it can be formatted sanely.

Since the makefile needs a .txt extension in order to build with the
rest of the documentation, simply copy the file.  Ignore the temporary
file so it doesn't get checked in accidentally, and remove it as part of
the clean process.  Do this instead of renaming the file so that people
who have already linked to the documentation (who we're trying to help)
don't find their links broken.  Avoid symlinking since Windows will not
like that.

This allows us to render the document as part of the website for the
benefit of others who wish to link to it as well as providing a more
nicely formatted display for our community and potential contributors.

doc: generate a list of valid merge tools

2013-02-03T05:46:52+00:00

Use the show_tool_names() function to build lists of all
the built-in tools supported by difftool and mergetool.
This frees us from needing to update the documentation
whenever a new tool is added.

Documentation: ignore *.pdf files

2011-08-08T16:30:12+00:00

user-manual.pdf is generated by the build and therefore
should be ignored by git.

Documentation: Avoid use of xmlto --stringparam

2009-12-05T18:03:49+00:00

The --stringparam option is not available on older xmlto versions.
Instead, set man.base.url.for.relative.links via a .xsl file.  Older
docbook versions will ignore this without causing grief to users of
older xmlto versions.

Start preparing the API documents.

2007-12-15T06:29:38+00:00

Most of them are still stubs, but the procedure to build the HTML
documentation, maintaining the index and installing the end product are
there.

I placed names of people who are likely to know the most about the topic
in the stub files, so that volunteers will know whom to ask questions as
needed.

Documentation: Generate command lists.

2007-01-19T00:18:29+00:00

This moves the source of the list of commands and categorization
to the end of Documentation/cmd-list.perl, so that re-categorization
and re-ordering would become easier to manage.
