908a0e6b98 Revert "Merge branch 'jg/status-config'"
This reverts commit 1a22bd31f0, reversing
changes made to 3e7a5b489e.

It makes it impossible to "git commit" when status.short is set, and
also "git status --porcelain" output is affected by status.branch.

7e30944622 rm: introduce advice.rmHints to shorten messages
Introduce advice.rmHints to choose whether to display advice or not
when git rm fails. Defaults to true, in order to preserve current behavior.

As an example, the message:
	error: 'foo.txt' has changes staged in the index
	(use --cached to keep the file, or -f to force removal)

would look like, with advice.rmHints=false:
	error: 'foo.txt' has changes staged in the index

4c7f1819b3 make color.ui default to 'auto'
Most users seem to like having colors enabled, and colors can help
beginners to understand the output of some commands (e.g. notice
immediately the boundary between commits in the output of "git log").

Many tutorials tell the users to set color.ui=auto as a very first step,
which tend to indicate that color.ui=none is not the recommanded value,
hence should not be the default.

These tutorials would benefit from skipping this step and starting the
real Git manipulations earlier. Other beginners do not know about
color.ui=auto, and may not discover it by themselves, hence live with
black&white outputs while they may have preferred colors.

A few people (e.g. color-blind) prefer having no colors, but they can
easily set color.ui=never for this (and googling "disable colors in git"
already tells them how to do so), but this needs not occupy space in
beginner-oriented documentations.

A transition period with Git emitting a warning when color.ui is unset
would be possible, but the discomfort of having the warning seems
superior to the benefit: users may be surprised by the change, but not
harmed by it.

The default value is changed, and the documentation is reworded to
mention "color.ui=false" first, since the primary use of color.ui after
this change is to disable colors, not to enable it.

b12ca9631f core: use env variable instead of config var to turn on logging pack access
5f44324 (core: log offset pack data accesses happened - 2011-07-06)
provides a way to observe pack access patterns via a config
switch. Setting an environment variable looks more obvious than a
config var, especially when you just need to _observe_, and more
inline with other tracing knobs we have.

Document it as it may be useful for remote troubleshooting.

9eb4754d76 fetch-options.txt: prevent a wildcard refspec from getting misformatted
When explaining the "--tags" option as an equivalent to giving an
explicit "refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*" refspec, the two asterisks were
misinterpreted by AsciiDoc as a request to typeset the string
segment between them in bold.

We could fix it in two ways.  We can replace them with {asterisk}s
while keeping the string as body text, or we can mark it as a
literal string with backquotes around it.

Let's do the latter, as it is teaching the user an "exactly as
typed" alternative.

db400949b3 Merge branch 'jk/fetch-always-update-tracking'
"git fetch origin master" unlike "git fetch origin" or "git fetch"
did not update "refs/remotes/origin/master"; this was an early
design decision to keep the update of remote tracking branches
predictable, but in practice it turns out that people find it more
convenient to opportunisticly update them whenever we have a chance,
and we have been updating them when we run "git push" which already
breaks the original "predictability" anyway.

Now such a fetch does update refs/remotes/origin/master.
