"git config --type=color ..." is meant to replace "git config --get-color"
but there is a slight difference that wasn't documented, which is
now fixed.
* jk/config-type-color-ends-with-lf:
config: document --type=color output is a complete line
"git fsck --connectivity-only" omits computation necessary to sift
the objects that are not reachable from any of the refs into
unreachable and dangling. This is now enabled when dangling
objects are requested (which is done by default, but can be
overridden with the "--no-dangling" option).
* jk/fsck-doc:
fsck: always compute USED flags for unreachable objects
doc/fsck: clarify --connectivity-only behavior
Remove the rebase.useBuiltin setting, which was added as an escape
hatch to disable the builtin version of rebase first released with Git
2.20.
See [1] for the initial implementation of rebase.useBuiltin, and [2]
and [3] for the documentation and corresponding
GIT_TEST_REBASE_USE_BUILTIN option.
Carrying the legacy version is a maintenance burden as seen in
7e097e27d3 ("legacy-rebase: backport -C<n> and --whitespace=<option>
checks", 2018-11-20) and 9aea5e9286 ("rebase: fix regression in
rebase.useBuiltin=false test mode", 2019-02-13). Since the built-in
version has been shown to be stable enough let's remove the legacy
version.
As noted in [3] having use_builtin_rebase() shell out to get its
config doesn't make any sense anymore, that was done for the purposes
of spawning the legacy rebase without having modified any global
state. Let's instead handle this case in rebase_config().
There's still a bunch of references to git-legacy-rebase in po/*.po,
but those will be dealt with in time by the i18n effort.
Even though this configuration variable only existed two releases
let's not entirely delete the entry from the docs, but note its
absence. Individual versions of git tend to be around for a while due
to distro packaging timelines, so e.g. if we're "lucky" a given
version like 2.21 might be installed on say OSX for half a decade.
That'll mean some people probably setting this in config, and then
when they later wonder if it's needed they can Google search the
config option name or check it in git-config. It also allows us to
refer to the docs from the warning for details.

When we render, e.g., "linkgit:gitglossary[7]." with Asciidoctor, we get
"gitglossary(7) ." with a space between the linkgit macro expansion and
the punctuation. We can fix this by dropping the trailing newline after
we've turned `linkgit:foo[bar]` into `<citerefentry>..</citerefentry>`.
The diff produced by `USE_ASCIIDOCTOR=Yes ./doc-diff HEAD^ HEAD` is
almost 6000 lines large and shows how this fixes "git-foo(x) ,", "(see
git-bar(y) )" and so on. One might wonder whether this also turns, e.g.,
"see linkgit:foo[1] for more" into "see foo(1)for more", but no. We get
"...</citerefentry> for more" in the XML, see, e.g., git-am.xml, so the
space ends up in git-am.1 just fine. The same is true for the HTML output.

asciidoctor-extensions.rb has never changed, but when it does -- such as
in the next commit --, it helps if the xml-files depend on it. We're
casting the net a bit too wide here, since we'll be rebuilding even with
AsciiDoc, which won't look at this file. But since this file changes so
rarely, that should be ok. It's better than missing a dependency.
Similarly, most of the html-files are produced directly from ".txt';
make the html-files too depend on asciidoctor-extensions.rb, both
the HTMLified manual pages as well as the user-manual that does use
.xml intermediary.

These stylesheets very rarely change, but when they do, it really helps
if the manpages depend on them. We're casting the net a bit too wide
here, since we'll only ever use a subset of the stylesheets, but since
these files change so rarely, that should be ok. It's better than
missing a dependency.
Observe that manpage-base-url.xsl is a generated file, so we need to
list it explicitly, besides the `wildcard` expression we're adding here.

Rather than parse options manually, which is both difficult to
read and error prone, parse options supplied to commit-tree
using the parse-options api.
It was discovered that the --no-gpg-sign option was documented
but not implemented in commit 70ddbd7767 (commit-tree: add missing
--gpg-sign flag, 2019-01-19), and the existing implementation
would attempt to translate the option as a tree oid. It was also
suggested earlier in commit 55ca3f99ae (commit-tree: add and document
--no-gpg-sign, 2013-12-13) that commit-tree should be migrated to
utilize the parse-options api, which could help prevent mistakes
like this in the future. Hence this change.
Also update the documentation to better describe that mixing
`-m` and `-F` options will correctly compose commit log messages in the
order in which the options are given.
In the process, mark various strings for translation.

Even though the newer "--type=color" option to "git config" is meant
to be upward compatible with the traditional "--get-color" option,
unlike the latter, its output is not an incomplete line that lack
the LF at the end. That makes it consistent with output of other
types like "git config --type=bool".
Document it, as it sometimes surprises unsuspecting users.

These tabs happen to appear in columns where they don't stand out too
much, so the diff here is non-obvious. Some of these are rendered
differently by AsciiDoc and Asciidoctor (although the difference might

Escaping two *'s as "\*\*" apparently makes Asciidoctor render the
second backslash literally, so we end up with "*\*". So let's not escape
that second asterisk. The result is now "**" as intended, both in
