Since git-pull learned the --rebase option it has not just been about
merging changes from a remote repository (where "merge" is in the sense
of "git merge").  Change the description to use "integrate" instead of
"merge" in order to reflect this.

<title>man: git pull -r is a short for --rebase</title>

Letting the "--rebase" option squat on the short-and-sweet single
letter option "-r" was an unintended accident and was not even
documented, but the short option seems to be already used in the
wild. Let's document it so that other options that begin with "r"
would not be tempted to steal it.

<title>docs: stop using asciidoc no-inline-literal</title>

<id>6cf378f0cbe7c7f944637892caeb9058c90a185a</id>
<content type='text'>
In asciidoc 7, backticks like `foo` produced a typographic
effect, but did not otherwise affect the syntax. In asciidoc
8, backticks introduce an "inline literal" inside which markup
is not interpreted. To keep compatibility with existing
documents, asciidoc 8 has a "no-inline-literal" attribute to
keep the old behavior. We enabled this so that the
documentation could be built on either version.

It has been several years now, and asciidoc 7 is no longer
in wide use. We can now decide whether or not we want
inline literals on their own merits, which are:

  1. The source is much easier to read when the literal
     contains punctuation. You can use `master~1` instead
     of `master{tilde}1`.

  2. They are less error-prone. Because of point (1), we
     tend to make mistakes and forget the extra layer of
     quoting.

This patch removes the no-inline-literal attribute from the
Makefile and converts every use of backticks in the
documentation to an inline literal (they must be cleaned up,
or the example above would literally show "{tilde}" in the
output).

Problematic sites were found by grepping for '`.*[{\\]' and
examined and fixed manually. The results were then verified
by comparing the output of "html2text" on the set of
generated html pages. Doing so revealed that in addition to
making the source more readable, this patch fixes several
formatting bugs:

  - HTML rendering used the ellipsis character instead of
    literal "..." in code examples (like "git log A...B")

  - some code examples used the right-arrow character
    instead of '-&gt;' because they failed to quote

  - api-config.txt did not quote tilde, and the resulting
    HTML contained a bogus snippet like:

      &lt;tt&gt;&lt;sub&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; foo &lt;tt&gt;&lt;/sub&gt;bar&lt;/tt&gt;

    which caused some parsers to choke and omit whole
    sections of the page.

  - git-commit.txt confused ``foo`` (backticks inside a
    literal) with ``foo'' (matched double-quotes)

  - mentions of `A U Thor &lt;author@example.com&gt;` used to
    erroneously auto-generate a mailto footnote for
    author@example.com

  - the description of --word-diff=plain incorrectly showed
    the output as "[-removed-] and {added}", not "{+added+}".

  - using "prime" notation like:

      commit `C` and its replacement `C'`

    confused asciidoc into thinking that everything between
    the first backtick and the final apostrophe were meant
    to be inside matched quotes

  - asciidoc got confused by the escaping of some of our
    asterisks. In particular,

      `credential.\*` and `credential.&lt;url&gt;.\*`

    properly escaped the asterisk in the first case, but
    literally passed through the backslash in the second
    case.

Currently we either need to set branch.&lt;name&gt;.rebase for existing
branches if we'd like "git pull" to mean "git pull --rebase", or have
the forethought of setting "branch.autosetuprebase" before we create
the branch.

Introduce a "pull.rebase" option to globally configure "git pull" to
mean "git pull --rebase" for any branch.

This option will be considered at a lower priority than
branch.&lt;name&gt;.rebase, i.e. we could set pull.rebase=true and
branch.&lt;name&gt;.rebase=false and the latter configuration option would
win.

<title>Documentation: use [verse] for SYNOPSIS sections</title>

The SYNOPSIS sections of most commands that span several lines already
use [verse] to retain line breaks. Most commands that don't span
several lines seem not to use [verse]. In the HTML output, [verse]
does not only preserve line breaks, but also makes the section
indented, which causes a slight inconsistency between commands that
use [verse] and those that don't. Use [verse] in all SYNOPSIS sections
for consistency.

Also remove the blank lines from git-fetch.txt and git-rebase.txt to
align with the other man pages. In the case of git-rebase.txt, which
already uses [verse], the blank line makes the [verse] not apply to
the last line, so removing the blank line also makes the formatting
within the document more consistent.

While at it, add single quotes to 'git cvsimport' for consistency with
other commands.
