39ab4d0951 config: allow giving separate author and committer idents
The author.email, author.name, committer.email and committer.name
settings are analogous to the GIT_AUTHOR_* and GIT_COMMITTER_*
environment variables, but for the git config system. This allows them
to be set separately for each repository.

Git supports setting different authorship and committer
information with environment variables. However, environment variables
are set in the shell, so if different authorship and committer
information is needed for different repositories an external tool is
required.

This adds support to git config for author.email, author.name,
committer.email and committer.name  settings so this information
can be set per repository.

Also, it generalizes the fmt_ident function so it can handle author vs
committer identification.

0a84724bf8 Merge branch 'ab/push-dwim-dst'
"git push $there $src:$dst" rejects when $dst is not a fully
qualified refname and not clear what the end user meant.  The
codepath has been taught to give a clearer error message, and also
guess where the push should go by taking the type of the pushed
object into account (e.g. a tag object would want to go under
refs/tags/).

b4583d5595 doc/config: do a better job of introducing 'worktree.guessRemote'
The documentation for this option jumps right in with "With `add`",
without explaining that `add` is a sub-command of "git worktree".
Together with rather odd grammatical structure of the remainder of the
sentence, the description can be difficult for newcomers to understand.
Clarify by improving the grammar and mentioning "git worktree add"
explicitly.

2a9dedef2e index: make index.threads=true enable ieot and eoie
If a user explicitly sets

	[index]
		threads = true

to read the index using multiple threads, ensure that index writes
include the offset table by default to make that possible.  This
ensures that the user's intent of turning on threading is respected.

In other words, permit the following configurations:

- index.threads and index.recordOffsetTable unspecified: do not write
  the offset table yet (to avoid alarming the user with "ignoring IEOT
  extension" messages when an older version of Git accesses the
  repository) but do make use of multiple threads to read the index if
  the supporting offset table is present.

  This can also be requested explicitly by setting index.threads=true,
  0, or >1 and index.recordOffsetTable=false.

- index.threads=false or 1: do not write the offset table, and do not
  make use of the offset table.

  One can set index.recordOffsetTable=false as well, to be more
  explicit.

- index.threads=true, 0, or >1 and index.recordOffsetTable unspecified:
  write the offset table and make use of threads at read time.

  This can also be requested by setting index.threads=true, 0, >1, or
  unspecified and index.recordOffsetTable=true.

Fortunately the complication is temporary: once most Git installations
have upgraded to a version with support for the IEOT and EOIE
extensions, we can flip the defaults for index.recordEndOfIndexEntries
and index.recordOffsetTable to true and eliminate the settings.

429160544d ieot: default to not writing IEOT section
As with EOIE, popular versions of Git do not support the new IEOT
extension yet.  When accessing a Git repository written by a more
modern version of Git, they correctly ignore the unrecognized section,
but in the process they loudly warn

	ignoring IEOT extension

resulting in confusion for users.  Introduce the index extension more
gently by not writing it yet in this first version with support for
it.  Soon, once sufficiently many users are running a modern version
of Git, we can flip the default so users benefit from this index
extension by default.

Introduce a '[index] recordOffsetTable' configuration variable to
control whether the new index extension is written.

d8465500c3 eoie: default to not writing EOIE section
Since 3b1d9e04 (eoie: add End of Index Entry (EOIE) extension,
2018-10-10) Git defaults to writing the new EOIE section when writing
out an index file.  Usually that is a good thing because it improves
threaded performance, but when a Git repository is shared with older
versions of Git, it produces a confusing warning:

  $ git status
  ignoring EOIE extension
  HEAD detached at 371ed0defa
  nothing to commit, working tree clean

Let's introduce the new index extension more gently.  First we'll roll
out the new version of Git that understands it, and then once
sufficiently many users are using such a version, we can flip the
default to writing it by default.

Introduce a '[index] recordEndOfIndexEntries' configuration variable
to allow interested users to benefit from this index extension early.

d8d0a546f0 rebase doc: document rebase.useBuiltin
The rebase.useBuiltin variable introduced in 55071ea248 ("rebase:
start implementing it as a builtin", 2018-08-07) was turned on by
default in 5541bd5b8f ("rebase: default to using the builtin rebase",
2018-08-08), but had no documentation.

Let's document it so that users who run into any stability issues with
the C rewrite know there's an escape hatch[1], and make it clear that
needing to turn off builtin rebase means you've found a bug in git.

dd8dd300c6 push: add an advice on unqualified <dst> push
Add an advice to the recently improved error message added in
f8aae12034 ("push: allow unqualified dest refspecs to DWIM",
2008-04-23).

Now with advice.pushUnqualifiedRefName=true (on by default) we show a
hint about how to proceed:

    $ ./git-push avar v2.19.0^{commit}:newbranch -n
    error: The destination you provided is not a full refname (i.e.,
    starting with "refs/"). We tried to guess what you meant by:

    - Looking for a ref that matches 'newbranch' on the remote side.
    - Checking if the <src> being pushed ('v2.19.0^{commit}')
      is a ref in "refs/{heads,tags}/". If so we add a corresponding
      refs/{heads,tags}/ prefix on the remote side.

    Neither worked, so we gave up. You must fully qualify the ref.
    hint: The <src> part of the refspec is a commit object.
    hint: Did you mean to create a new branch by pushing to
    hint: 'v2.19.0^{commit}:refs/heads/newbranch'?
    error: failed to push some refs to 'git@github.com:avar/git.git'

When trying to push a tag, tree or a blob we suggest that perhaps the
user meant to push them to refs/tags/ instead.

The if/else duplication for all of OBJ_{COMMIT,TAG,TREE,BLOB} is
unfortunate, but is required to correctly mark the messages for
translation. See the discussion in
<87r2gxebsi.fsf@evledraar.gmail.com> about that.
