Because the hook runs after the main checkout operation finishes, it
cannot affect what branch will be the current branch, what paths are
updated in the working tree, etc., which was described as "cannot
affect the outcome of 'checkout'".
However, the exit status of the hook is used as the exit status of
the 'checkout' command and is observable by anybody who spawned the
'checkout', which was missing from the documentation. Fix this.

The "reference transaction" hook was introduced in commit 6754159767
(refs: implement reference transaction hook, 2020-06-19). The name of
the hook is declared as "reference-transaction" in "refs.c" and
testcases, but the name declared in "githooks.txt" is different.

Avoid using non-portable "==" that is only understood by bash

In 6b7093064a ("t3200: test for specific errors", 2020-06-15), we
learned to grep stderr to ensure that the failing `git branch`
invocations fail for the right reason. In two of these tests, we grep
for "File exists", expecting the string to show up there since config.c
calls `error_errno()`, which ends up including `strerror(errno)` in the
error message.
But as we saw in 4605a73073 ("t1091: don't grep for `strerror()`
string", 2020-03-08), there exists at least one implementation where
`strerror()` yields a slightly different string than the one we're
grepping for. In particular, these tests fail on the NonStop platform.
Similar to 4605a73073, grep for the beginning of the string instead to
avoid relying on `strerror()` behavior.

AsciiDoctor renders the "~~~~~~~~~" literally. That's not our intention:
it is supposed to indicate a level 2 subsection. In 828197de8f ("docs:
adjust for the recent rename of `pu` to `seen`", 2020-06-25), the length
of this section header grew by two characters but we didn't adjust the
number of ~ characters accordingly. AsciiDoc handles this discrepancy ok
and still picks this up as a subsection title, but Asciidoctor is not as
forgiving.

With the two-patch series for regression fix, to the users from 2.27
days, there is no visible behaviour change---we do not warn and fail
use of v0 repositories with newer extensions yet, so there is nothing
to note in the backward compatibility section.

In 2.28-rc0, we corrected a bug that some repository extensions are
honored by mistake even in a version 0 repositories (these
configuration variables in extensions.* namespace were supposed to
have special meaning in repositories whose version numbers are 1 or
higher), but this was a bit too big a change.
* jn/v0-with-extensions-fix:
repository: allow repository format upgrade with extensions
Revert "check_repository_format_gently(): refuse extensions for old repositories"
Now that we officially permit repository extensions in repository
format v0, permit upgrading a repository with extensions from v0 to v1
as well.
For example, this means a repository where the user has set
"extensions.preciousObjects" can use "git fetch --filter=blob:none
origin" to upgrade the repository to use v1 and the partial clone
extension.
To avoid mistakes, continue to forbid repository format upgrades in v0
repositories with an unrecognized extension. This way, a v0 user
using a misspelled extension field gets a chance to correct the
mistake before updating to the less forgiving v1 format.
While we're here, make the error message for failure to upgrade the
repository format a bit shorter, and present it as an error, not a
warning.

This reverts commit 14c7fa269e.
The core.repositoryFormatVersion field was introduced in ab9cb76f66
(Repository format version check., 2005-11-25), providing a welcome
bit of forward compatibility, thanks to some welcome analysis by
Martin Atukunda. The semantics are simple: a repository with
core.repositoryFormatVersion set to 0 should be comprehensible by all
Git implementations in active use; and Git implementations should
error out early instead of trying to act on Git repositories with
higher core.repositoryFormatVersion values representing new formats
that they do not understand.
A new repository format did not need to be defined until 00a09d57eb
(introduce "extensions" form of core.repositoryformatversion,
2015-06-23). This provided a finer-grained extension mechanism for
Git repositories. In a repository with core.repositoryFormatVersion
set to 1, Git implementations can act on "extensions.*" settings that
modify how a repository is interpreted. In repository format version
1, unrecognized extensions settings cause Git to error out.
What happens if a user sets an extension setting but forgets to
increase the repository format version to 1? The extension settings
were still recognized in that case; worse, unrecognized extensions
settings do *not* cause Git to error out. So combining repository
format version 0 with extensions settings produces in some sense the
worst of both worlds.
To improve that situation, since 14c7fa269e
(check_repository_format_gently(): refuse extensions for old
repositories, 2020-06-05) Git instead ignores extensions in v0 mode.
This way, v0 repositories get the historical (pre-2015) behavior and
maintain compatibility with Git implementations that do not know about
the v1 format. Unfortunately, users had been using this sort of
configuration and this behavior change came to many as a surprise:
- users of "git config --worktree" that had followed its advice
to enable extensions.worktreeConfig (without also increasing the
repository format version) would find their worktree configuration
no longer taking effect
- tools such as copybara[*] that had set extensions.partialClone in
existing repositories (without also increasing the repository format
version) would find that setting no longer taking effect
The behavior introduced in 14c7fa269e might be a good behavior if we
were traveling back in time to 2015, but we're far too late. For some
reason I thought that it was what had been originally implemented and
that it had regressed. Apologies for not doing my research when
14c7fa269e was under development.
Let's return to the behavior we've had since 2015: always act on
extensions.* settings, regardless of repository format version. While
we're here, include some tests to describe the effect on the "upgrade
repository version" code path.

Fix to the code to produce progress bar, which is new in the
upcoming release.
* tb/commit-graph-no-check-oids:
commit-graph: fix "Collecting commits from input" progress line
The code to produce progress output from "git commit-graph --write"
had a few breakages, which have been fixed.
* sg/commit-graph-progress-fix:
commit-graph: fix "Writing out commit graph" progress counter
commit-graph: fix progress of reachable commits
When an aliased command, whose output is piped to a pager by git,
gets killed by a signal, the pager got into a funny state, which
has been corrected (again).
* ta/wait-on-aliased-commands-upon-signal:

Wait for child on signal death for aliases to builtins
To display a progress line while reading commits from standard input
and looking them up, 5b6653e523 (builtin/commit-graph.c: dereference
tags in builtin, 2020-05-13) should have added a pair of
start_delayed_progress() and stop_progress() calls around the loop
reading stdin. Alas, the stop_progress() call ended up at the wrong
place, after write_commit_graph(), which does all the commit-graph
computation and writing, and has several progress lines of its own.
Consequently, that new
Collecting commits from input: 1234
progress line is overwritten by the first progress line shown by
write_commit_graph(), and its final "done" line is shown last, after
everything is finished:
$ { sleep 3 ; git rev-list -3 HEAD ; sleep 1 ; } | ~/src/git/git commit-graph write --stdin-commits
Expanding reachable commits in commit graph: 873402, done.
Writing out commit graph in 4 passes: 100% (3493608/3493608), done.
Collecting commits from input: 3, done.
Furthermore, that stop_progress() call was added after the 'cleanup'
label, where that loop reading stdin jumps in case of an error. In
case of invalid input this then results in the "done" line shown after
the error message:
$ { sleep 3 ; git rev-list -3 HEAD ; echo junk ; } | ~/src/git/git commit-graph write --stdin-commits
error: unexpected non-hex object ID: junk
Collecting commits from input: 3, done.
Move that stop_progress() call to the right place.
While at it, drop the unnecessary 'if (progress)' condition protecting
the stop_progress() call, because that function is prepared to handle
a NULL progress struct.

The description of `git diff` goes through several different invocations
(numbering added by me):
1. git diff [<options>] [--] [<path>...]
2. git diff [<options>] --no-index [--] <path> <path>
3. git diff [<options>] --cached [<commit>] [--] [<path>...]
4. git diff [<options>] <commit> [--] [<path>...]
5. git diff [<options>] <commit> <commit> [--] [<path>...]
6. git diff [<options>] <commit>..<commit> [--] [<path>...]
7. git diff [<options>] <commit> <commit>... <commit> [--] [<path>...]
8. git diff [<options>] <commit>...<commit> [--] [<path>...]
It then goes on to say that "all of the <commit> in the above
description, except in the last two forms that use '..' notations, can
be any <tree>". The "last two" actually refers to 6 and 8. This got out
of sync in commit b7e10b2ca2 ("Documentation: usage for diff combined
commits", 2020-06-12) which added item 7 to the mix.
As a further complication, after b7e10b2ca2 we also have some potential
confusion around "the '..' notation". The "..[.]" in items 6 and 8 are
part of the rev notation, whereas the "..." in item 7 is manpage
language for "one or more".
Move item 6 down, i.e., to between 7 and 8, to restore the ordering.
Because 6 refers to 5 ("synonymous to the previous form") we need to
tweak the language a bit.
An added bonus of this commit is that we're trying to steer users away
from `git diff <commit>..<commit>` and moving it further down probably
doesn't hurt.

Commit b7e10b2ca2 ("Documentation: usage for diff combined commits",
2020-06-12) modified the synopsis by adding an optional "[<commit>...]"
to
'git diff' [<options>] <commit> <commit> [--] [<path>...]
to effectively add
'git diff' [<options>] <commit> <commit>... <commit> [--] [<path>...]
as another valid invocation. Which makes sense.
Further down, in the description, it left the existing entry for
'git diff' [<options>] <commit> <commit> [--] [<path>...]
intact and added a new entry on
'git diff' [<options>] <commit> [<commit>...] <commit> [--] [<path>...]
where it says that "[t]his form is to view the results of a merge
commit" and details how "the first listed commit must be the merge
itself". But one possible instantiation of this form is `git diff
<commit> <commit>` for which the added text doesn't really apply.
Remove the brackets so that we lose this overlap between the two
descriptions. We can still use the more compact representation in the
synopsis.
