Clarify the "--merge-base" command line option in "git merge-tree".
* en/doc-merge-tree-describe-merge-base:
Documentation/git-merge-tree.adoc: clarify the --merge-base option
|
|
The --merge-base option for merge-tree has a few slightly awkward
constructions or omissions:
* Split the initial long sentence describing the option into two,
making the instructions and the limitations clearer for readers.
* Add context to the final sentence that might be obvious to some
readers but isn't immediately obvious to all.
* The discussion about lack of support for multiple merge bases
simply leave folks wondering why that matters and could help or
hurt. Separate it out and add a brief explanation.

For better searchability, this commit adds a check to ensure that parameters
expressed in the form of `--[no-]parameter` are not used in the
documentation. In the place of such parameters, the documentation should
list two separate parameters: `--parameter` and `--no-parameter`.

Git Forges may be interested in whether two branches can be merged while
not being interested in what the resulting merge tree is nor which files
conflicted. For such cases, add a new --quiet flag which
will make use of the new mergeability_only flag added to merge-ort in
the previous commit. This option allows the merge machinery to, in the
outer layer of the merge:
* exit early when a conflict is detected
* avoid writing (most) merged blobs/trees to the object store

We presently use the ".txt" extension for our AsciiDoc files. While not
wrong, most editors do not associate this extension with AsciiDoc,
meaning that contributors don't get automatic editor functionality that
could be useful, such as syntax highlighting and prose linting.
It is much more common to use the ".adoc" extension for AsciiDoc files,
since this helps editors automatically detect files and also allows
various forges to provide rich (HTML-like) rendering. Let's do that
here, renaming all of the files and updating the includes where
relevant. Adjust the various build scripts and makefiles to use the new
extension as well.
Note that this should not result in any user-visible changes to the
documentation.
