t7500: fix tests with absolute path following ":(optional)" on Windows

On Windows, the MSYS layer translates absolute path names generated by
a shell script from the POSIX style /c/dir/file to the Windows style
C:/dir/file form that is understood by git.exe. This happens only when
the absolute path stands on its own as a program argument or a value of
an environment variable.

The earlier commits 749d6d166d (config: values of pathname type can be
prefixed with :(optional), 2025-09-28) and ccfcaf399f (parseopt: values
of pathname type can be prefixed with :(optional), 2025-09-28) added
test cases where ":(optional)" is inserted before an absolute path.
$PWD is used to construct the absolute paths, which gives the POSIX
form, and the result is ":(optional)/c/dir/template". Such command line
arguments are no longer recognized as absolute paths and do not undergo
translation.

Existing test cases that expect that the specified file does not exist
are not incorrect (after all, git.exe will not find /c/dir/template).
Yet, they are conceptually incorrect. That the use of $PWD is erroneous
is revealed by a test case that expects that the optional file exists.
Since no such test case is present, add one. Use "$(pwd)" to generate
the absolute paths, so that the command line arguments become
":(optional)C:/dir/template".

Jeff King [Fri, 17 Oct 2025 08:36:41 +0000 (04:36 -0400)] 
diff: restore redirection to /dev/null for diff_from_contents

In --quiet mode, since we produce only an exit code for "something was
changed" and no actual output, we can often get by with just a
tree-level diff. However, certain options require us to actually look at
the file contents (e.g., if we are ignoring whitespace changes). We have
a flag "diff_from_contents" for that, and if it is set we call
diff_flush() on each path.

To avoid producing any output (since we were asked to be --quiet), we
traditionally just redirected the output to /dev/null. That changed in
b55e6d36eb (diff: ensure consistent diff behavior with ignore options,
2025-08-08), which replaced that with a "dry_run" flag. In theory, with
dry_run set, we should produce no output. But it carries a risk of
regression: if we forget to respect dry_run in any of the output paths,
we'll accidentally produce output.

And indeed, there is at least one such regression in that commit, as it
covered only the case where we actually call into xdiff, and not
creation or deletion diffs, where we manually generate the headers. We
even test this case in t4035, but only with diff-tree, which does not
show the bug by default because it does not require diff_from_contents.
But git-diff does, because it allows external diff programs by default
(so we must dig into each diff filepair to decide if it requires running
an external diff that may declare two distinct blobs to actually be the
same).

We should fix all of those code paths to respect dry_run correctly, but
in the meantime we can protect ourselves more fully by restoring the
redirection to /dev/null. This gives us an extra layer of protection
against regressions dues to other code paths we've missed.

Though the original issue was reported with "git diff" (and due to its
default of --ext-diff), I've used "diff-tree -w" in the new test. It
triggers the same issue, but I think the fact that "-w" implies
diff_from_contents is a bit more obvious, and fits in with the rest of
t4035.

Commit 5040f9f164 ("doc: add technical design doc for large object
promisors", 2025-02-18) added the large object promisors document
as a technical document (with a '.txt' extension). The merge commit
2c6fd30198 ("Merge branch 'cc/lop-remote'", 2025-03-05) seems to
have renamed the file with an '.adoc' extension.

Despite the '.adoc' extension, this document was not being formatted
by asciidoc(tor) as part of the docs build. In order to do so, add
the document to the make and meson build files.

Having added the document to the build, asciidoc and asciidoctor find
(slightly different) problems with the syntax of the input document.

The first set of warnings (only issued by asciidoc) relate to some
'section title out of sequence: expected level 3, got level 4'. This
document uses 'setext' style of section headers, using a series of
underline characters, where the character used denotes the level of
the title. From document title to level 5 (see [1]), these characters
are =, -, ~, ^, +. This does not seem to fit the error message, which
implies that those characters denote levels 0 -> 4. Replacing the headings
underlined with '+' by the '^' character eliminates these warnings.

The second set of warnings (only issued by asciidoctor) relate to some
headings which seem to use both arabic and roman numerals as part of
a single 'list' sequence. This elicited either 'unterminated listing
block' or (for example) 'list item index: expected I, got II' warnings.
In order not to mix arabic and roman numerals, remove the numeral from
the '0) Non goals' heading.  Similarly, the remaining roman numeral
entries had the ')' removed and turned into regular headings with I, II,
III ... at the beginning.

not marked up with sub-title syntax, so add some '=== ' prefix(s) to the
relevant headings.

In addition to the warnings, address some other formatting issues:

  - the use of heavily nested unordered lists is not reflected in the
    output (making the file totally unreadable) because each level of
    nesting requires a different syntax. (i.e. replace '*' with '**'

  - make use of literal blocks and manual indentation to get asciidoc
    and asciidoctor to display even remotely similar output.
  - make use of labelled lists, in some places, to get a similar looking
    output to the input, for both asciidoc and asciidoctor.

about 'section title out of sequence: expected level 1, got level 2'
on line 38. (asciidoc only complains about the first instance of this,
while asciidoctor complains about them all, on lines 94, 141, 142,
184, 185, 257, 288, 289, 290, 397, 424, 485, 486 and 487). These
warnings stem from the section titles not being correctly nested within
a document/chapter title.

In order to address the first set of warnings, simply renumber the list
from one to nine, rather than zero to eight. This also requires altering
the text which refers to the section numbers, including other section
titles.

In order to address the second set of warnings, change the section title
syntax from '=== title ===' to '== title ==', effectively reducing the
nesting level of the title by one. Also, some of the titles are given
over multiple lines (they are very long), with an title '===' prefix
on each line. This leads to them being treated as separate sections
with no body text (as you can see from the line numbers given for the
asciidoctor warnings, above). So, for these titles, turn them into a
single (long) line of text.

In addition to the warnings, address some other formatting issues:

  - the ascii branch diagrams didn't format correctly on asciidoctor
    so include them in a literal block.
  - several blocks of text were intended to be formatted 'as is' but
    were not included in a literal block.
  - in section 8, format the (A)->(D) in the text description as a
    literal with `` marks, since (C) is rendered as a copyright
    symbol in html otherwise.
  - in section 9, a sub-list of two items is not formatted as such.
    change the '*' introducer to '**' to correct the sub-list format.
