Dan McGee 5162e69732 Documentation: rename gitlink macro to linkgit
Between AsciiDoc 8.2.2 and 8.2.3, the following change was made to the stock
Asciidoc configuration:

 # Inline macros.
 # Backslash prefix required for escape processing.
 # (?s) re flag for line spanning.

 (?su)[\\]?\[\[\[(?P<attrlist>[\w][\w-]*?)\]\]\]=anchor3
 # Anchor: [[id,xreflabel]]

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.

git-mailinfo(1)
===============
NAME
----
git-mailinfo - Extracts patch and authorship from a single e-mail message
SYNOPSIS
--------
'git-mailinfo' [-k] [-u | --encoding=<encoding>] <msg> <patch>
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Reading a single e-mail message from the standard input, and
writes the commit log message in <msg> file, and the patches in
<patch> file. The author name, e-mail and e-mail subject are
written out to the standard output to be used by git-am
to create a commit. It is usually not necessary to use this
command directly. See linkgit:git-am[1] instead.
OPTIONS
-------
-k::
Usually the program 'cleans up' the Subject: header line
to extract the title line for the commit log message,
among which (1) remove 'Re:' or 're:', (2) leading
whitespaces, (3) '[' up to ']', typically '[PATCH]', and
then prepends "[PATCH] ". This flag forbids this
munging, and is most useful when used to read back 'git
format-patch -k' output.
-u::
The commit log message, author name and author email are
taken from the e-mail, and after minimally decoding MIME
transfer encoding, re-coded in UTF-8 by transliterating
them. This used to be optional but now it is the default.
+
Note that the patch is always used as-is without charset
conversion, even with this flag.
--encoding=<encoding>::
Similar to -u but if the local convention is different
from what is specified by i18n.commitencoding, this flag
can be used to override it.
<msg>::
The commit log message extracted from e-mail, usually
except the title line which comes from e-mail Subject.
<patch>::
The patch extracted from e-mail.
