Placing `struct lock_file`s on the stack used to be a bad idea, because
the temp- and lockfile-machinery would keep a pointer into the struct.
But after 076aa2cbd (tempfile: auto-allocate tempfiles on heap,
2017-09-05), we can safely have lockfiles on the stack. (This applies
even if a user returns early, leaving a locked lock behind.)
Each of these `struct lock_file`s is used from within a single function.
Move them into the respective functions to make the scope clearer and
drop the staticness.
For good measure, I have inspected these sites and come to believe that
they always release the lock, with the possible exception of bailing out
using `die()` or `exit()` or by returning from a `cmd_foo()`.
As pointed out by Jeff King, it would be bad if someone held on to a
`struct lock_file *` for some reason. After some grepping, I agree with
his findings: no-one appears to be doing that.
After this commit, the remaining occurrences of "static struct
lock_file" are locks that are used from within different functions. That
is, they need to remain static. (Short of more intrusive changes like
passing around pointers to non-static locks.)

After taking the lock we check whether we got it and die otherwise. But
since we take the lock using `LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR`, we would already have
died.
Considering the choice between dropping the dead code and dropping the
flag, let's go for option number three: Drop the flag, write an error
instead of dying, then return -1. This function already returns -1 for
another error, so the caller (or rather, its callers) should be able to
handle this. There is some inconsistency around how we handle errors in
this function and elsewhere in this file, but let's take this small step
towards gentle error-reporting now and leave the rest for another time.
While at it, make the lock non-static and reduce its scope. (Placing
`struct lock_file`s on the stack used to be a bad idea, because the
temp- and lockfile-machinery would keep a pointer into the struct. But
after 076aa2cbd (tempfile: auto-allocate tempfiles on heap, 2017-09-05),

If we could not take the lock, we add an error to the `strbuf err` and
return. However, this code is dead. The reason is that we take the lock
using `LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR`. Drop the flag to allow our more gentle
error-handling to actually kick in.
We could instead just drop the dead code and die here. But everything is
prepared for gently propagating the error, so let's do that instead.
There is similar dead code in `delete_pseudoref()`, but let's save that
for the next patch.

Die in case writing the index fails, so that the caller can notice
(instead of, say, being impressed by how performant the writing is).
While at it, note that after opening a lock with `LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR`, we
do not need to worry about whether we succeeded. Also, we can move the
`struct lock_file` into the function and drop the staticness. (Placing

Fix a regression in 88f6ffc1c2 ("add -p: only bind search key if
there's more than one hunk", 2018-02-13) which is present in
2.17.0-rc*, but not 2.16.0.
In Perl, regex variables like $1 always refer to the last regex
match. When the aforementioned change added a new regex match between
the old match and the corresponding code that was expecting $1, the $1
variable would always be undef, since the newly inserted regex match
doesn't have any captures.
As a result the "/" feature to search for a string in a hunk by regex
completely broke, on git.git:
$ perl -pi -e 's/Git/Tig/g' README.md
$ ./git --exec-path=$PWD add -p
[..]
Stage this hunk [y,n,q,a,d,j,J,g,/,s,e,?]? s
Split into 4 hunks.
[...]
Stage this hunk [y,n,q,a,d,j,J,g,/,s,e,?]? /Many
Use of uninitialized value $1 in string eq at /home/avar/g/git/git-add--interactive line 1568, <STDIN> line 1.
search for regex? Many
I.e. the initial "/regex" command wouldn't work, and would always emit
a warning and ask again for a regex, now it works as intended again.

When upload-pack gained partial clone support (v2.17.0-rc0~132^2~12,
2017-12-08), it was guarded by the uploadpack.allowFilter config item
to allow server operators to control when they start supporting it.
That config item didn't go far enough, though: it controls whether the
'filter' capability is advertised, but if a (custom) client ignores
the capability advertisement and passes a filter specification anyway,
the server would handle that despite allowFilter being false.
This is particularly significant if a security bug is discovered in
this new experimental partial clone code. Installations without
uploadpack.allowFilter ought not to be affected since they don't
intend to support partial clone, but they would be swept up into being
vulnerable.
Simplify and limit the attack surface by making uploadpack.allowFilter
disable the feature, not just the advertisement of it.

Hotfix for recently graduated topic that give help to completion
scripts from the Git subcommands that are being completed
* nd/parseopt-completion:
t9902: disable test on the list of merge-strategies under GETTEXT_POISON
completion: clear cached --options when sourcing the completion script
This fixes a regression introduced in 2e612731b5 (submodule: port
submodule subcommand 'deinit' from shell to C, 2018-01-15), when
handling pathspecs that do not exist gracefully. This restores the
historic behavior of reporting the pathspec as unknown and returning
instead of reporting a bug.

In 1ada5020b3 ("stash: use stash_push for no verb form", 2017-02-28),
when the pathspec argument was introduced in 'git stash', that was also
documented. However I forgot to remove an extra square bracket after
the '--message' argument, even though the square bracket should have
been after the pathspec argument (where it was also added).
Remove the extra square bracket after the '--message' argument, to show
that the pathspec argument should be used with the 'push' verb.
While the pathspec argument can be used without the push verb, that's a
special case described later in the man page, and removing the first extra
square bracket instead of the second one makes the synopis easier to
understand.

The code to learn the list of merge strategies from the output of
"git merge -s help" forces C locale, so that it can notice the
message shown to indicate where the list starts in the output.
However, GETTEXT_POISON build corrupts its output even when run in
the C locale, and we cannot expect this test to succeed.
