When checking out another commit from an already detached state, we used

lossage, but some of them might be reachable from the new HEAD, and there
is no need to warn about them.

When sending the "want" list, the capabilities list is separated from
the obj-id by a SP instead of NUL as in the ref advertisement. The
text is correct, but the examples wrongly show the separator as
NUL. Fix the example so it uses SP.

This option was not yet described in the gitmodules documentation. We
only described it in the 'git submodule' command documentation but
gitmodules is the more natural place to look.
A short reference in the 'git submodule' documentation should be
sufficient since the details can now be found in the documentation to
gitmodules.

In abe1998 ("git checkout -b: allow switching out of an unborn
branch"), a code-path overly-optimisticly assumed that a
branch-name was specified. This is not always the case, and as
a result a NULL-pointer was attempted printed to .git/HEAD.
This could lead to at least two different failure modes:
1) vsnprintf formated the NULL-string as something useful (e.g
"(null)")
2) vsnprintf crashed
Neither were very convenient for formatting a new HEAD-reference.
To fix this, reintroduce some strictness so we only take this
new codepath if a banch-name was specified.

When using a Perl script on a system where "perl" found on user's $PATH

In the older days, the header "Conflicts:" in "cherry-pick" and "merge"

In 5bd631b3 ("clone: support multiple levels of verbosity"), the

When git checkout switches from a detached HEAD to any other commit, then
all orphaned commits were listed in a warning:
Warning: you are leaving 2 commits behind...:
a5e5396 another fixup
6aa1af6 fixup foo
But if the new commit is actually one from this list (6aa1af6 in this
example), then the list in the warning can be truncated at the new HEAD,
because history beginning at HEAD is not "left behind". This makes it so.
