AsciiDoc replace '--' with em-dash (—) by default. em-dash
looks a lot like a single long dash and it's very confusing when
we are talking about command options.
Section 21.2.8 'Replacements' of AsciiDoc's User Guide says that a
backslash in front of double dash prevent the replacement. This

Add a new merge strategy by Fredrik Kuivinen.
I really wanted to try this out, instead of asking for an adjustment

Multi-backend merge driver.
The new command 'git merge' takes the current head and one or more
remote heads, with the commit log message for the automated case.
If the heads being merged are simple fast-forwards, it acts the
same way as the current 'git resolve'. Otherwise, it tries
different merge strategies and takes the result from the one that
succeeded auto-merging, if there is any.
If no merge strategy succeeds auto-merging, their results are
evaluated for number of paths needed for hand resolving, and the
one with the least number of such paths is left in the working
tree. The user is asked to resolve them by hand and make a
commit manually.
The calling convention from the 'git merge' driver to merge
strategy programs is very simple:
- A strategy program is to be called 'git-merge-<strategy>'.
That is, one or more the common ancestors, double dash, the
current head, and one or more remote heads being merged into
the current branch.
- Before a strategy program is called, the working tree is
matched to the current <head>.
- The strategy program exits with status code 0 when it
successfully auto-merges the given heads. It should do
update-cache for all the merged paths when it does so -- the
index file will be used to record the merge result as a
commit by the driver.
- The strategy program exits with status code 1 when it leaves
conflicts behind. It should do update-cache for all the
merged paths that it successfully auto-merged, and leave the
cache entry in the index file as the same as <head> for paths
it could not auto-merge, and leave its best-effort result
with conflict markers in the working tree when it does so.
- The strategy program exists with status code other than 0 or
1 if it does not handle the given merge at all.
As examples, this commit comes with merge strategies based on
'git resolve' and 'git octopus'.

Fix copy marking from diffcore-rename.
When (A,B) ==> (B,C) rename-copy was detected, we incorrectly said
that C was created by copying B. This is because we only check if the
path of rename/copy source still exists in the resulting tree to see
if the file is renamed out of existence. In this case, the new B is
created by copying or renaming A, so the original B is lost and we
should say C is a rename of B not a copy of B.
We now keep track of the patches merged in each branch since they have
diverged, using the records that the Arch "logs" provide. Merge parents
for a commit are defined if we are merging a series of patches that starts
from the mergebase.
If patches from a related branch are merged out-of-order, we keep track of
how much has been merged sequentially -- the tip of that sequential merge
is our new parent from that branch.
This mechanism works very well for branches that merge in dovetail and/or
flying fish patterns, probably less well for others.

HOWEVER, we also do this when the file was actually removed in the current

(or, indeed, if the other branch _did_ have it removed, but the common
parent was far enough back that the file still existed in there).
And that just doesn't make sense. In that case we're not removing
anything: the file didn't exist in the branch we're merging into in the
first place. So the message just makes people nervous, and makes no sense.
This has been around forever, but I never bothered to do anything about
it.
