Since b5227d8, -x/--exclude does not apply to cached files.
This is easy to miss unless you read the discussion in the
EXCLUDE PATTERNS section. Clarify that the option applies
to untracked files and direct the reader to EXCLUDE PATTERNS.

In git-config(1), diff.noprefix was placed in between
diff.mnemonicprefix and the list of mnemonic prefixes, which is
obviously incorrect and very confusing to readers. Now, it is located
after the end of the explanation of mnemonicprefix, which makes much
more sense.

* kf/askpass-config:
Extend documentation of core.askpass and GIT_ASKPASS.
Allow core.askpass to override SSH_ASKPASS.
Add a new option 'core.askpass'.
There are 108 of them already. That's a bit more than one third of
all the files in the Documentation directory already, and still growing.

The timestamp that follows "Last updated " is formatted differently
depending on the version of AsciiDoc. Looking at 4604fe56 on "html"
branch, you can see that AsciiDoc 7.0.2 used to give "02-Jul-2008 03:02:14
UTC" but AsciiDoc 8.2.5 gave "2008-09-19 06:33:25 UTC". We haven't been
correctly filtering out phantom changes that result from only the build
date for some time now, it seems.
Just filter lines that begin with "Last updated ".

* jn/cherry-revert-message-clean-up:
tests: fix syntax error in "Use advise() for hints" test
cherry-pick/revert: Use advise() for hints
cherry-pick/revert: Use error() for failure message
Introduce advise() to print hints
Eliminate “Finished cherry-pick/revert” message
t3508: add check_head_differs_from() helper function and use it
revert: improve success message by adding abbreviated commit sha1
revert: don't print "Finished one cherry-pick." if commit failed
revert: refactor commit code into a new run_git_commit() function
revert: report success when using option --strategy
Setting this option has the same effect as setting the environment variable
'GIT_ASKPASS'.

We can be clever and know by ourselves when we need the behavior
implied by "--remap-to-ancestor". No need to encumber users by having
them exposed to it as a tunable. (Option kept for backward compatibility,
but it's now a no-op.)

Older versions of AsciiDoc used to literally pass double dashes when we
used them in our linkgit macros and manpage titles, but newer ones (the
issue was first reported with AsciiDoc 8.5.2) turn them into em dashes.
Define litdd (literal double-dash) custom attribute in asciidoc.conf to
work this around. While we are at it, fix a few double-dashes (e.g. the
description of "project--devo--version" convention used by tla, among
other things) that used to be incorrectly written as em dashes in the body
text to also use this attribute.

Currently, one could think that 'git bundle create' groks
any 'git rev-list' expression. But in fact it requires a named reference
to be present. Try and make this clearer.

to drop the specified stash if it looks like stash reference.
Also changed the synopsis to more clearly indicate which commands require
