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.

Some uses of git-rev-list are to run it with --objects to see if
a range of objects between two or more commits is fully connected
or not.  In such a case the caller doesn't care about the actual
object names or hash hints so formatting this data only for it to
be dumped to /dev/null by a redirect is a waste of CPU time.  If
all the caller needs is the exit status then --quiet can be used
to bypass the commit and object formatting.

The --walk-reflogs logic and the --reverse logic are completely
incompatible with one another.  Attempting to use both at the same
time leads to confusing results that sometimes violates the user's
formatting options or ignores the user's request to see the reflog
message and timestamp.

Unfortunately the implementation of both of these features is glued
onto the side of the revision walking machinary in such a way that
they are probably not going to be easy to make them compatible with
each other.  Rather than offering the user confusing results we are
better off bailing out with an error message until such a time as
the implementations can be refactored to be compatible.

The flag "no_walk" is present in struct rev_info since a long time, but
so far has been in use exclusively by "git show".

With this flag, you can see all your refs, ordered by date of the last
commit:

$ git log --abbrev-commit --pretty=oneline --decorate --all --no-walk

which is extremely helpful if you have to juggle with a lot topic
branches, and do not remember in which one you introduced that uber
debug option, or simply want to get an overview what is cooking.

(Note that the "git log" invocation above does not output the same as

 $ git show --abbrev-commit --pretty=oneline --decorate --all --quiet

 since "git show" keeps the alphabetic order that "--all" returns the
 refs in, even if the option "--date-order" was passed.)

For good measure, this also adds the "--do-walk" option which overrides
"--no-walk".

Asciidoc treats {foo} as an attribute to be substituted; if
'foo' doesn't exist as an attribute, then the entire line
gets dropped. When the literal {foo} is desired, \{foo} is
required.

The exceptions to this rule are:
  - inside literal blocks
  - if the 'foo' contains non-alphanumeric characters (e.g.,
    {foo|bar} is assumed not to be an attribute)

for `eval` in shell and defines five variables:

 - bisect_rev is the next revision to test.
 - bisect_nr is the expected number of commits to test after
   bisect_rev is tested.
 - bisect_good is the expected number of commits to test
   if bisect_rev turns out to be good.
 - bisect_bad is the expected number of commits to test
   if bisect_rev turns out to be bad.
 - bisect_all is the number of commits we are bisecting right now.
