cfb5e6b2da git-tag.txt: list all modes in the description
Currently, the description sounds as if it applied always, but most of
its content is true in "create tag mode" only.

Make this clearer by listing all modes upfront.

Also, sneak in some linguistic improvements and make it clearer that
lightweight tags are "created" because "written" may be misread as
"are output".

547e8b9205 fast-import: introduce "feature notes" command
Here is a 'feature' command for streams to use to require support for
the notemodify (N) command.

When the 'feature' facility was introduced (v1.7.0-rc0~95^2~4,
2009-12-04), the notes import feature was old news (v1.6.6-rc0~21^2~8,
2009-10-09) and it was not obvious it deserved to be a named feature.
But now that is clear, since all major non-git fast-import backends
lack support for it.

Details: on git version with this patch applied, any "feature notes"
command in the features/options section at the beginning of a stream
will be treated as a no-op.  On fast-import implementations without
the feature (and older git versions), the command instead errors out
with a message like

	This version of fast-import does not support feature notes.

So by declaring use of notes at the beginning of a stream, frontends
can avoid wasting time and other resources when the backend does not
support notes.  (This would be especially important for backends that
do not support rewinding history after a botched import.)

68595cd442 fast-import: clarify documentation of "feature" command
The "feature" command allows streams to specify options for the import
that must not be ignored.  Logically, they are part of the stream,
even though technically most supported features are synonyms to
command-line options.

Make this more obvious by being more explicit about how the analogy
between most "feature" commands and command-line options works.  Treat
the feature (import-marks) that does not fit this analogy separately.

a2b7a3b3a9 diff: support --cached on unborn branches
"git diff --cached" (without revision) used to mean "git diff --cached
HEAD" (i.e. the user was too lazy to type HEAD). This "correctly"
failed when there was no commit yet. But was that correctness useful?

This patch changes the definition of what particular command means.
It is a request to show what _would_ be committed without further "git
add". The internal implementation is the same "git diff --cached HEAD"
when HEAD exists, but when there is no commit yet, it compares the index
with an empty tree object to achieve the desired result.

8c0db6fd51 Documentation: do not treat reset --keep as a special case
The current treatment of "git reset --keep" emphasizes how it
differs from --hard (treatment of local changes) and how it breaks
down into plumbing (git read-tree -m -u HEAD <commit> followed by git
update-ref HEAD <commit>).  This can discourage people from using
it, since it might seem to be a complex or niche option.

Better to emphasize what the --keep flag is intended for --- moving
the index and worktree from one commit to another, like "git checkout"
would --- so the reader can make a more informed decision about the
appropriate situations in which to use it.

ab4356111a docs: explain diff.*.binary option
This was added long ago as part of the userdiff refactoring
for textconv, as internally it made the code simpler and
cleaner. However, there was never a concrete use case for
actually using the config variable.

Now that Matthieu Moy has provided such a use case, it's
easy to explain it using his example.

920a5d436b Documentation/githooks: post-rewrite-copy-notes never existed
The documentation for the post-rewrite hook contains a paragraph from
its early development, where the automatic notes copying facilities
were not part of the series and thus this had to be a hook.  Later
versions of the series implemented notes copying as a core feature.

Thus mentioning post-rewrite-copy-notes was never correct.  As the
other hooks do not have a "there is no default hook, but..." sentence
unless they ship a sample hook in either templates or contrib, we
simply remove the whole paragraph.

This adds 'git config --remove-section remote.origin' after the fetch

71a5d4bc0e diff: funcname and word patterns for perl
The default function name discovery already works quite well for Perl
code... with the exception of here-documents (or rather their ending).

 sub foo {
	print <<END
 here-document
 END
	return 1;
 }

The default funcname pattern treats the unindented END line as a
function declaration and puts it in the @@ line of diff and "grep
--show-function" output.

With a little knowledge of perl syntax, we can do better.  You can
try it out by adding "*.perl diff=perl" to the gitattributes file.

like

the smudge filter needs to know the name of the file it is

(commit f1f0d0889e), when the wording was changed slightly.  More
importantly, the description of that warning was useless, and there were
many other similar warning messages which were not document at all.
Since all these warnings are fairly obvious, there is no need for them
to be in the man page.
