Rearrange the example usage of
git filter-branch --index-filter 'git rm --cached ...'
so that --ignore-unmatch is in the main example block. People keep
stumbling over the (lack of this) option to the point where it is a
FAQ, so we would want to expose the most common usage where it stands
out.

Add a section about how to shrink a repository's size after running
git-filter-branch to remove large blobs from history.
This comes up every week or so on IRC, and the commands required to
handle every case are not very newbie-friendly, so hopefully writing
them down somewhere leads to fewer questions.
It may seem contradictory to document fallbacks for older Gits in
newer docs, but we want to point people at this as a FAQ answer, and
they will frequently not have the newest version installed.
Thanks to Björn Steinbrink and Junio C Hamano for comments and
corrections.

git_commit_non_empty_tree is added to the functions that can be run from
commit filters. Its effect is to commit only commits actually touching the
tree and that are not merge points either.
The option --prune-empty is added. It defaults the commit-filter to
'git_commit_non_empty_tree "$@"', and can be used with any other
combination of filters, except --commit-hook that must used
'git_commit_non_empty_tree "$@"' where one puts 'git commit-tree "$@"'
usually to achieve the same result.

Document the '--' option that can be used to pass rev-list options
(not just arguments), and give an example usage of '-- --all'. Remove
reference to "the new branch name"; filter-branch takes arbitrary
arguments to rev-list since dfd05e3.

When the SYNOPSIS says e.g. "<path>...", it is nice if the DESCRIPTION
also mentions "<path>..." and says the specified "paths" (note plural)
are used for $whatever. This fixes the obvious mismatches.

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 \
merge*.txt pretty*.txt pull*.txt rev*.txt urls*.txt
do
doit <"$i" >"$i+" && mv "$i+" "$i"
done

With git-commands moving out of $(bindir), it is useful to make a
clearer distinction between the git subcommand 'git-whatever' and
the command you type, `git whatever <options>`. So we use a dash
after "git" when referring to the former and not the latter.
I already sent a patch doing this same thing, but I missed some
spots.

Following what appears to be the predominant style, format
names of commands and commandlines both as `teletype text`.
While we're at it, add articles ("a" and "the") in some
places, italicize the name of the command in the manual page
synopsis line, and add a comma or two where it seems appropriate.

Since the git-* commands are not installed in $(bindir), using
"git-command <parameters>" in examples in the documentation is
not a good idea. On the other hand, it is nice to be able to
refer to each command using one hyphenated word. (There is no
escaping it, anyway: man page names cannot have spaces in them.)
This patch retains the dash in naming an operation, command,
program, process, or action. Complete command lines that can
be entered at a shell (i.e., without options omitted) are
made to use the dashless form.
The changes consist only of replacing some spaces with hyphens
and vice versa. After a "s/ /-/g", the unpatched and patched
versions are identical.

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.

The old description was misleading and logically impossible. It claimed that
the ancestors of the original commit would be re-written to have the multiple
emitted ids as parents. Not only would this modify existing objects, but it
would create a cycle. What this actually does is pass the multiple emitted ids
to the newly-created children to use as parents.

Add support for creating a new tag object and retaining the tag message,
author, and date when rewriting tags. The gpg signature, if one exists,
will be stripped.
This adds nearly proper tag name filtering to filter-branch. Proper tag
name filtering would include the ability to change the tagger, tag date,
tag message, and _not_ strip a gpg signature if the tag did not change.

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.

With this function, a commit filter can leave out unwanted commits
(such as temporary commits). It does _not_ undo the changeset
corresponding to that commit, but it _skips_ the revision. IOW
no tree object is changed by this.
If you like to commit early and often, but want to filter out all
intermediate commits, marked by "@@@" in the commit message, you can
now do this with
git filter-branch --commit-filter '
if git cat-file commit $GIT_COMMIT | grep '@@@' > /dev/null;
then
skip_commit "$@";
else
git commit-tree "$@";
fi' newbranch

Move the convenience functions to the top of git-filter-branch.sh, and

Some time ago, filter-branch's syntax changed so that more than one
ref can be rewritten at the same time. This involved the removal of
the ref name for the result; instead, the refs are rewritten in-place.
This updates the last leftovers in the documentation to reflect the
new behavior.

We used to take the first non-option argument as the name for the new
branch. This syntax is not extensible to support rewriting more than just
HEAD.
Instead, we now have the following syntax:
git filter-branch [<filter options>...] [<rev-list options>]
All positive refs given in <rev-list options> are rewritten. Yes,
in-place. If a ref was changed, the original head is stored in
refs/original/$ref now, for your inspecting pleasure, in addition to the
reflogs (since it is easier to inspect "git show-ref | grep original" than
to inspect all the reflogs).
This commit also adds the --force option to remove .git-rewrite/ and all
refs from refs/original/ before filtering.
