The checkpoint command cycles packfiles if object_count != 0, a sensible
test or there would be no pack files to write. Since 820b931012, the
command also dumps branches, tags and marks, but still conditionally.
However, it is possible for a command stream to modify refs or create
marks without creating any new objects.
For example, reset a branch (and keep fast-import running):
$ git fast-import
reset refs/heads/master
from refs/heads/master^
checkpoint
but refs/heads/master remains unchanged.
Other example: a commit command that re-creates an object that already
exists in the object database.
The man page also states that checkpoint "updates the refs" and that
"placing a progress command immediately after a checkpoint will inform
the reader when the checkpoint has been completed and it can safely
access the refs that fast-import updated". This wasn't always true
without this patch.
This fix unconditionally calls dump_{branches,tags,marks}() for all
checkpoint commands. dump_branches() and dump_tags() are cheap to call
in the case of a no-op.
Add tests to t9300 that observe the (non-packfiles) effects of
checkpoint.

Doc fix.
* mg/format-ref-doc-fix:
Documentation/git-for-each-ref: clarify peeling of tags for --format
Documentation: use proper wording for ref format strings
"git archive" did not work well with pathspecs and the
export-ignore attribute.
We may want to resurrect the "we don't archive an empty directory"
bonus patch, but I do not mind merging the above early to 'next'
and leave it as a separate follow-up enhancement.
cf. <20170820090629.tumvqwzkromcykjf@sigill.intra.peff.net>
* rs/archive-excluded-directory:
archive: don't queue excluded directories
archive: factor out helper functions for handling attributes
t5001: add tests for export-ignore attributes and exclude pathspecs
Killing "git merge --edit" before the editor returns control left
the repository in a state with MERGE_MSG but without MERGE_HEAD,
which incorrectly tells the subsequent "git commit" that there was
a squash merge in progress. This has been fixed.
* mg/killed-merge:
merge: save merge state earlier
merge: split write_merge_state in two
merge: clarify call chain
Documentation/git-merge: explain --continue
"git apply" that is used as a better "patch -p1" failed to apply a
taken from a file with CRLF line endings to a file with CRLF line
endings. The root cause was because it misused convert_to_git()
that tried to do "safe-crlf" processing by looking at the index
entry at the same path, which is a nonsense---in that mode, "apply"
is not working on the data in (or derived from) the index at all.
This has been fixed.
* tb/apply-with-crlf:
apply: file commited with CRLF should roundtrip diff and apply
convert: add SAFE_CRLF_KEEP_CRLF
When handshake with a subprocess filter notices that the process
asked for an unknown capability, Git did not report what program
the offending subprocess was running. This has been corrected.
We may want a follow-up fix to tighten the error checking, though.
* cc/subprocess-handshake-missing-capabilities:
sub-process: print the cmd when a capability is unsupported
"git grep -L" and "git grep --quiet -L" reported different exit
codes; this has been corrected.
* as/grep-quiet-no-match-exit-code-fix:
git-grep: correct exit code with --quiet and -L
bash 4.4 or newer gave a warning on NUL byte in command
substitution done in "git stash"; this has been squelched.
* kd/stash-with-bash-4.4:
stash: prevent warning about null bytes in input
"git svn" used with "--localtime" option did not compute the tz
offset for the timestamp in question and instead always used the
current time, which has been corrected.
* ur/svn-local-zone:
git svn fetch: Create correct commit timestamp when using --localtime
"git am -s" has been taught that some input may end with a trailer
block that is not Signed-off-by: and it should refrain from adding
an extra blank line before adding a new sign-off in such a case.
* pw/am-signoff:
am: fix signoff when other trailers are present
"git clone --recurse-submodules --quiet" did not pass the quiet
option down to submodules.

Commands like "git rebase" accepted the --rerere-autoupdate option
from the command line, but did not always use it. This has been
fixed.
* pw/sequence-rerere-autoupdate:
cherry-pick/revert: reject --rerere-autoupdate when continuing
cherry-pick/revert: remember --rerere-autoupdate

rebase -i: honor --rerere-autoupdate
rebase: honor --rerere-autoupdate

"git push --recurse-submodules $there HEAD:$target" was not
propagated down to the submodules, but now it is.

submodule--helper: teach push-check to handle HEAD
The "tag.pager" configuration variable was useless for those who
actually create tag objects, as it interfered with the use of an
editor. A new mechanism has been introduced for commands to enable
pager depending on what operation is being carried out to fix this,
and then "git tag -l" is made to run pager by default.
If this works out OK, I think there are low-hanging fruits in
other commands like "git branch" that outputs long list in one mode
while taking input in another.
* ma/pager-per-subcommand-action:
git.c: ignore pager.* when launching builtin as dashed external
tag: change default of `pager.tag` to "on"
tag: respect `pager.tag` in list-mode only
t7006: add tests for how git tag paginates
git.c: provide setup_auto_pager()
git.c: let builtins opt for handling `pager.foo` themselves
builtin.h: take over documentation from api-builtin.txt
"git log --tag=no-such-tag" showed log starting from HEAD, which
has been fixed---it now shows nothing.
* jk/rev-list-empty-input:
revision: do not fallback to default when rev_input_given is set
rev-list: don't show usage when we see empty ref patterns
revision: add rev_input_given flag
t6018: flesh out empty input/output rev-list tests
Some versions of GnuPG fails to kill gpg-agent it auto-spawned
and such a left-over agent can interfere with a test. Work it
around by attempting to kill one before starting a new test.
* st/lib-gpg-kill-stray-agent:
t: lib-gpg: flush gpg agent on startup
Code cleanup.
* jt/subprocess-handshake:
sub-process: refactor handshake to common function
