Test all possible use-cases of git-status "--ignored" with the
"--untracked-files" option with values "normal" and "all":
- An untracked directory is listed as untracked if it has a mix of
untracked and ignored files in it. With -uall, ignored/untracked
files are listed as ignored/untracked.
- An untracked directory with only ignored files is listed as
ignored. With -uall, all files in the directory are listed.
- An ignored directory is listed as ignored. With -uall, all files
in the directory are listed as ignored.
- An ignored and committed directory is listed as ignored if it has
untracked files. With -uall, all untracked files in the
directory are listed as ignored.

The current behavior of git-status is inconsistent and misleading.
Especially when used with --untracked-files=all option:
- files ignored in untracked directories will be missing from
status output.
- untracked files in committed yet ignored directories are also
missing.
- with --untracked-files=normal, untracked directories that
contains only ignored files are dropped too.
Make the behavior more consistent across all possible use cases:
- "--ignored --untracked-files=normal" doesn't show each specific
files but top directory. It instead shows untracked directories
that only contains ignored files, and ignored tracked directories
with untracked files.
- "--ignored --untracked-files=all" shows all ignored files, either
because it's in an ignored directory (tracked or untracked), or
because the file is explicitly ignored.

Not necessarily every bundle file can be cloned from. Only the ones
that do not need prerequisites can.
When 1d52b02 (Documentation: minor grammatical fixes and rewording
in git-bundle.txt, 2009-03-22) reworded this paragraph, it lost a
critical hint to tell readers why this particular bundle can be

Because the bundle created in the example does not record HEAD, "git
clone" will not check out the files to the working tree:
$ git clone pr.bundle q/
Cloning into 'q'...
Receiving objects: 100% (619/619), 13.52 MiB | 18.74 MiB/s, done.
Resolving deltas: 100% (413/413), done.
warning: remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout.
Avoid alarming the readers by adding "-b master" to the example. A
better fix may be to arrange the bundle created in the earlier step
to record HEAD, so that it can be cloned without this workaround.

The credit lines "By" and "Via" to credit authors and committers for
their contributions on the side branch are meant as a hint to the
integrator to decide whom to mention in the log message text. After
the integrator saves the message in the editor, they are meant to go
away and that is why they are commented out.
When a merge is recorded without editing the generated message,
however, its contents do not go through the normal stripspace()
and these lines are left in the merge.
Stop producing them when we know the merge is going to be recorded
without editing, i.e. when --no-edit is given.

When testing aliases in t/t1020-subdirectory.sh use longer names so that
they're less likely to conflict with a git-* command somewhere in the
$PATH.
I have a git-ss command in my path which prevents the 'ss' alias from
being used. This command will always fail for git.git, causing the test
to fail. Even if the command succeeded, that would be a false success
for the test since the alias wasn't actually used. A longer, more
descriptive name will make it much less likely that somebody has a
command in their $PATH which will shadow the alias created for the test.
While here, use a longer name for the 'test' alias as well since that is
also short and meaningful enough to make it not unlikely that somebody
would have a command in their $PATH which will shadow that as well.

In the distant past, the order things were documented was
'Invocation', 'Commands', 'Capabilities', ...
Then it was decided that before giving a list of Commands, there
should be an overall description of the 'Input format', which was
a wise decision. However, this description was put as the very
first thing, with the rationale that any implementor would want
to know that first.
However, it seems an implementor would actually first need to
know how the remote helper will be invoked, so moving
'Invocation' to the front again seems logical. Moreover, we now
don't switch from discussing the input format to the invocation
style and then back to input related stuff.

The previous commit documented two known breakages revolving around
a case where one side flips a tree into a blob (or vice versa),
where the original code simply gets confused and feeds a mixture of
trees and blobs into either the recursive merge-tree (and recursing
into the blob will fail) or three-way merge (and merging tree contents
together with blobs will fail).
Fix it by feeding trees (and only trees) into the recursive
merge-tree machinery and blobs (and only blobs) into the three-way
content level merge machinery separately; when this happens, the
entire merge has to be marked as conflicting at the structure level.

cherry-picking into an unborn branch should work, so make it work,
with or without --ff.
Cherry-picking anything other than a commit that only adds files, will
naturally result in conflicts. Similarly, revert also works, but will
result in conflicts unless the specified revision only deletes files.
