"Keep it homogeneous across the repository" is in general a
guideline that can be used to converge to a good practice, but
we can be a bit more prescriptive in this case. Just like the
messages we give die(_("...")) are formatted without the final
full stop and without the initial capitalization, most of the
argument help text are already formatted that way, and we want
to encourage that as the house style.

In rebase, one can pass the `--autostash` option to cause the worktree
to be automatically stashed before continuing with the rebase. This
option is missing in merge, however.
Implement the `--autostash` option and corresponding `merge.autoStash`
option in merge which stashes before merging and then pops after.
This option is useful when a developer has some local changes on a topic
branch but they realize that their work depends on another branch.
Previously, they had to run something like
git fetch ...
git stash push
git merge FETCH_HEAD
git stash pop
but now, that is reduced to
git fetch ...
git merge --autostash FETCH_HEAD
When an autostash is generated, it is automatically reapplied to the
worktree only in three explicit situations:
1. An incomplete merge is commit using `git commit`.
2. A merge completes successfully.
3. A merge is aborted using `git merge --abort`.
In all other situations where the merge state is removed using
remove_merge_branch_state() such as aborting a merge via
`git reset --hard`, the autostash is saved into the stash reflog
instead keeping the worktree clean.

"git am --short-current-patch" is a way to show the piece of e-mail
for the stopped step, which is not suitable to directly feed "git
apply" (it is designed to be a good "git am" input). It learned a
new option to show only the patch part.
* pb/am-show-current-patch:
am: support --show-current-patch=diff to retrieve .git/rebase-apply/patch
am: support --show-current-patch=raw as a synonym for--show-current-patch
am: convert "resume" variable to a struct
parse-options: convert "command mode" to a flag
parse-options: add testcases for OPT_CMDMODE()
OPTION_CMDMODE is essentially OPTION_SET_INT plus an extra check that
the variable had not set before. In order to allow custom processing
of the option, for example a "command mode" option that also has an
argument, it would be nice to use OPTION_CALLBACK and not have to rewrite
the extra check on incompatible options. In other words, making the
processing of the option orthogonal to the "only one of these" behavior
provided by OPTION_CMDMODE.
Add a new flag that takes care of the check, and modify OPT_CMDMODE to
use it together with OPTION_SET_INT. The new flag still requires that the
option value points to an int, but any OPTION_* value can be specified as
long as it does not require a non-int type for opt->value.

Support for various porcelain commands will arrive via additional
patches.
`--pathspec-from-file` solves the problem of commandline length limit
for UIs built on top of git. Plumbing commands are not always a good
fit, for two major reasons:
1) Some UIs show executed commands to user. In this case, porcelain
commands are expected. One reason for that is letting user learn git
commands by clicking UI buttons. The other reason is letting user
study the history of commands in case of any unexpected results. Both
of these will lose most of their value if UI uses combinations of
arcane plumbing commands.
2) Some UIs have started and grown with porcelain commands. Replacing
existing logic with plumbing commands could be cumbersome and prone
to various new problems.
`--pathspec-from-file` will behave very close to pathspec passed in
commandline args, so that switching from one to another is simple.
`--pathspec-from-file` will read either a specified file or `stdin`
(when file is exactly "-"). Reading from file is a good way to avoid
competing for `stdin`, and also gives some extra flexibility.
`--pathspec-file-nul` switch mirrors `-z` already used in various
places. Some porcelain commands, such as `git commit`, already use
`-z`, therefore it needed a new unambiguous name.
New options do not have shorthands to avoid shorthand conflicts. It is
not expected that they will be typed in console.

Attempt to use an abbreviated option in "git clone --recurs" is

And while the implementations were changed, one declaration was left
unchanged, still claiming to return `int`.

any integral type for an `enum` as long as it can represent all declared

Change the option parsing machinery so that e.g. "clone --recurs ..."
doesn't error out because "clone" understands both "--recursive" and
"--recurse-submodules" to mean the same thing.
Initially "clone" just understood --recursive until the
--recurses-submodules alias was added in ccdd3da652 ("clone: Add the
--recurse-submodules option as alias for --recursive",
2010-11-04). Since bb62e0a99f ("clone: teach --recurse-submodules to
optionally take a pathspec", 2017-03-17) the longer form has been
promoted to the default.
But due to the way the options parsing machinery works this resulted
in the rather absurd situation of:
$ git clone --recurs [...]
error: ambiguous option: recurs (could be --recursive or --recurse-submodules)
Add OPT_ALIAS() to express this link between two or more options and use
it in git-clone. Multiple aliases of an option could be written as
OPT_ALIAS(0, "alias1", "original-name"),
OPT_ALIAS(0, "alias2", "original-name"),
...
The current implementation is not exactly optimal in this case. But we
can optimize it when it becomes a problem. So far we don't even have two
aliases of any option.

* br/commit-tree-parseopt:
commit-tree: utilize parse-options api
`OPT_ARGUMENT()` is intended to keep the specified long option in `argv`
and not to do anything else.
However, it would make a lot of sense for the caller to know whether
this option was seen at all or not. For example, we want to teach `git
difftool` to work outside of any Git worktree, but only when
`--no-index` was specified.
Note: nothing in Git uses OPT_ARGUMENT(). Even worse, looking through
the commit history, one can easily see that nothing even
ever used it, apart from the regression test.
So not only do we make `OPT_ARGUMENT()` more useful, we are also about
to introduce its first real user!

Rather than parse options manually, which is both difficult to

It was discovered that the --no-gpg-sign option was documented
but not implemented in commit 70ddbd7767 (commit-tree: add missing
--gpg-sign flag, 2019-01-19), and the existing implementation
would attempt to translate the option as a tree oid. It was also
suggested earlier in commit 55ca3f99ae (commit-tree: add and document
--no-gpg-sign, 2013-12-13) that commit-tree should be migrated to
utilize the parse-options api, which could help prevent mistakes
like this in the future. Hence this change.
Also update the documentation to better describe that mixing
`-m` and `-F` options will correctly compose commit log messages in the
order in which the options are given.

This is to help reimplement diff_opt_parse() using parse_options().
The behavior of parse_options() is changed to be the same as the
other:
- no argv0 in argv[], everything can be processed
- argv[] must not be updated, it's the caller's job to do that
- return the number of arguments processed
- leave all unknown options / non-options alone (this one can already
be achieved with PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN and
PARSE_OPT_STOP_AT_NON_OPTION)
This mode is NOT supposed to stay here for long. It's to help

Introduce optname() that does the early half of original opterror() to
come up with the name of the option reported back to the user, and use
it to kill opterror(). The callers of opterror() now directly call
error() using the string returned by opterror() instead.
There are a few issues with opterror()
- it tries to assemble an English sentence from pieces. This is not
great for translators because we give them pieces instead of a full
sentence.
- It's a wrapper around error() and needs some hack to let the
compiler know it always returns -1.
- Since it takes a string instead of printf format, one call site has
to assemble the string manually before passing to it.
Using error() directly solves the second and third problems.
It kind helps the first problem as well because "%s does foo" does
give a translator a full sentence in a sense and let them reorder if
needed. But it has limitations, if the subject part has to change
based on the rest of the sentence, that language is screwed. This is
also why I try to avoid calling optname() when 'flags' is known in
advance.
Mark of these strings for translation as well while at there.

When we define a parse-options callback, the flags we put in the option
struct must match what the callback expects. For example, a callback
which does not handle the "unset" parameter should only be used with
PARSE_OPT_NONEG. But since the callback and the option struct are not
defined next to each other, it's easy to get this wrong (as earlier
patches in this series show).
Fortunately, the compiler can help us here: compiling with
-Wunused-parameters can show us which callbacks ignore their "unset"
parameters (and likewise, ones that ignore "arg" expect to be triggered
with PARSE_OPT_NOARG).
But after we've inspected a callback and determined that all of its
callers use the right flags, what do we do next? We'd like to silence
the compiler warning, but do so in a way that will catch any wrong calls
in the future.
We can do that by actually checking those variables and asserting that
they match our expectations. Because this is such a common pattern,
we'll introduce some helper macros. The resulting messages aren't
as descriptive as we could make them, but the file/line information from
BUG() is enough to identify the problem (and anyway, the point is that
these should never be seen).
Each of the annotated callbacks in this patch triggers
-Wunused-parameters, and was manually inspected to make sure all callers
use the correct options (so none of these BUGs should be triggerable).
