When no tagger was found (old Git produced tags like this),
no "tagger" line is printed (but this is incompatible with the current
git fast-import).

Alternatively, you can pass the option --fake-missing-tagger, forcing
fast-export to fake a tagger

	Unspecified Tagger <no-tagger>

with a tag date of the beginning of (Unix) time in the case of a missing
tagger, so that fast-import is still able to import the result.

Although it does not matter for Git itself, tools that
export to systems that explicitly track copies and
renames can benefit from such information.

This patch makes fast-export output correct action
logs when -M or -C are enabled.

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
	git diff

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.

This adds the --import-marks and --export-marks to fast-export. These import
and export the marks used to for all revisions exported in a similar fashion
to what fast-import does. The format is the same as fast-import, so you can
create a bidirectional importer / exporter by using the same marks file on
both sides.

As the "git" man page describes the "git" command at the end-user
level, it seems better to move it to man section 1.

Between AsciiDoc 8.2.2 and 8.2.3, the following change was made to the stock
Asciidoc configuration:

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.

The name 'verbatim' describes much better what this mode does with
signed tags.  While at it, fix the documentation what it actually
does.

This program dumps (parts of) a git repository in the format that
fast-import understands.

For clarity's sake, it does not use the 'inline' method of specifying
blobs in the commits, but builds the blobs before building the commits.

Since signed tags' signatures will not necessarily be valid (think
transformations after the export, or excluding revisions, changing
the history), there are 4 modes to handle them: abort (default),
ignore, warn and strip.  The latter just turns the tags into
unsigned ones.
