GitGitGadget, a handy tool for converting pull requests against Git into
Git-mailing-list-friendly-patch-emails, requires as anti-spam that all
new users be "/allow"ed by an existing user once before it will do
anything for that new user. While this tutorial explained that
mechanism, it did not give much hint on how to go about finding someone
to allow your new pull request. So, teach our new GitGitGadget user
where to look for someone who can add their name to the list.
The advice in this patch is based on the advice proposed for
GitGitGadget: https://github.com/gitgitgadget/gitgitgadget/pull/138

Indicate that the user needs some dependencies before the build will run
happily on their machine; this dependency list doesn't seem to be made
clear anywhere else in the project documentation. Then, so the user can
be certain any build failures are due to their code and not their
environment, perform a build on a clean checkout of 'master'. Also, move
the note about build parallelization up here, so that it appears next to
the very first build invocation in the tutorial.

Users can discover commands and their brief usage by running 'git help
git' or 'git help -a'; both of these pages list all available commands
based on the contents of 'command-list.txt'. That means adding a new
command there is an important part of the new command process, and
therefore belongs in the new command tutorial.
Teach new users how to add their command, and include a brief overview
of how to discover which attributes to place on the command in the list.
Since 'git psuh' prints some workspace info, doesn't modify anything,
and is targeted as a user-facing porcelain command, list it as a
'mainporcelain' and 'info' command.
As the usage string is required to generate this documentation, don't
add the command to the list until after the usage string is added to the
tutorial.

As per Wikipedia, "In current technical usage, for one to state that a
feature is deprecated is merely a recommendation against using it." It
is thus contradictory to claim that something is not "officially
deprecated" and then to immediately state that we are both discouraging
its use and pointing people elsewhere.

The codepath that reads the index.version configuration was broken
with a recent update, which has been corrected.
* ds/feature-macros:
repo-settings: read an int for index.version
Update installation procedure for Perforce on MacOS in the CI jobs
running on Azure pipelines, which was failing.
* js/azure-ci-osx-fix:
ci(osx): use new location of the `perforce` cask
Several config options were combined into a repo_settings struct in
ds/feature-macros, including a move of the "index.version" config
setting in 7211b9e (repo-settings: consolidate some config settings,
2019-08-13).
Unfortunately, that file looked like a lot of boilerplate and what is
clearly a factor of copy-paste overload, the config setting is parsed
with repo_config_ge_bool() instead of repo_config_get_int(). This means
that a setting "index.version=4" would not register correctly and would
revert to the default version of 3.
I caught this while incorporating v2.24.0-rc0 into the VFS for Git
codebase, where we really care that the index is in version 4.
This was not caught by the codebase because the version checks placed
in t1600-index.sh did not test the "basic" scenario enough. Here, we
modify the test to include these normal settings to not be overridden by
features.manyFiles or GIT_INDEX_VERSION. While the "default" version is
3, this is demoted to version 2 in do_write_index() when not necessary.

A few days ago Travis CI updated their existing OSX images, including
the Homebrew database in the xcode10.1 OSX image that we use. Since
then installing dependencies in the 'osx-gcc' job fails when it tries
to link gcc@8:
+ brew link gcc@8
Error: No such keg: /usr/local/Cellar/gcc@8
GCC8 is still installed but not linked to '/usr/local' in the updated
image, as it was before this update, but now we have to link it by
running 'brew link gcc'. So let's do that then, and fall back to
linking gcc@8 if it doesn't, just to be sure.
Our builds on Azure Pipelines are unaffected by this issue. The OSX
image over there doesn't contain the gcc@8 package, so we have to
'brew install' it, which already takes care of linking it to
'/usr/local'. After that the 'brew link gcc' command added by this
patch fails, but the ||-chained fallback 'brew link gcc@8' command
succeeds with an "already linked" warning.

The Azure Pipelines builds are failing for macOS due to a change in the
location of the perforce cask. The command outputs the following error:
+ brew install caskroom/cask/perforce
Error: caskroom/cask was moved. Tap homebrew/cask-cask instead.
So let's try to call `brew cask install perforce` first (which is what
that error message suggests, in a most round-about way).
Prior to 672f51cb we used to install the 'perforce' package with 'brew
install perforce' (note: no 'cask' in there). The justification for
672f51cb was that the command 'brew install perforce' simply stopped
working, after Homebrew folks decided that it's better to move the
'perforce' package to a "cask". Their justification for this move was
that 'brew install perforce' "can fail due to a checksum mismatch ...",
and casks can be installed without checksum verification. And indeed,
both 'brew cask install perforce' and 'brew install
caskroom/cask/perforce' printed something along the lines of:
==> No checksum defined for Cask perforce, skipping verification
It is unclear why 672f51cb used 'brew install caskroom/cask/perforce'
instead of 'brew cask install perforce'. It appears (by running both
commands on old Travis CI macOS images) that both commands worked all
the same already back then.
In any case, as the error message at the top of this commit message
shows, 'brew install caskroom/cask/perforce' has stopped working
recently, but 'brew cask install perforce' still does, so let's use
that.
CI servers are typically fresh virtual machines, but not always. To
accommodate for that, let's try harder if `brew cask install perforce`
fails, by specifically pulling the latest `master` of the
`homebrew-cask` repository.
This will still fail, of course, when `homebrew-cask` falls behind
Perforce's release schedule. But once it is updated, we can now simply
re-run the failed jobs and they will pick up that update.
As for updating `homebrew-cask`: the beginnings of automating this in
https://dev.azure.com/gitgitgadget/git/_build?definitionId=11&_a=summary
will be finished once the next Perforce upgrade comes around.

Originally, the CI/PR builds that build and test using Visual Studio
were implemented imitating `linux-clang`, i.e. still using the
`Makefile`-based build infrastructure.
Later (but still before the patches made their way into git.git's
`master`), however, this was changed to generate Visual Studio project
files and build the binaries using `MSBuild`, as this reflects more
accurately how Visual Studio users would want to build Git (internally,
Visual Studio uses `MSBuild`, or at least something very similar).
During that transition, we needed to implement a new way to run the test
suite in parallel, as Visual Studio users typically will only have a Git
Bash available (which does not ship with `make` nor with support for
`prove`): we simply implemented a new test helper to run the test suite.
This helper even knows how to run the tests in parallel, but due to a
mistake on this developer's part, it was never turned on in the CI/PR
builds. This results in 2x-3x longer run times of the test phase.
Let's use the `--jobs=10` option to fix this.

To make full use of the work that went into the Visual Studio build &
test jobs in our CI/PR builds, let's turn on strict compiler flags. This
will give us the benefit of Visual C's compiler warnings (which, at
times, seem to catch things that GCC does not catch, and vice versa).
While at it, also turn on optimization; It does not make sense to
produce binaries with debug information, and we can use any ounce of
speed that we get (because the test suite is particularly slow on
Windows, thanks to the need to run inside a Unix shell, which
requires us to use the POSIX emulation layer provided by MSYS2).

While reviewing some dts diffs recently I noticed that the hunk header
logic was failing to find the containing node. This is because the regex
doesn't consider properties that may span multiple lines, i.e.
property = <something>,
<something_else>;
and it got hung up on comments inside nodes that look like the root node
because they start with '/*'. Add tests for these cases and update the
regex to find them. Maybe detecting the root node is too complicated but
forcing it to be a backslash with any amount of whitespace up to an open
bracket seemed OK. I tried to detect that a comment is in-between the
two parts but I wasn't happy so I just dropped it.

The reason for that bogus value is that '--total's parameter is parsed
via parse-options's OPT_INTEGER into a uint64_t variable [1], so the
two bits of 3 end up in the "wrong" bytes on big-endian systems
(12884901888 = 0x300000000).
Change the type of that variable from uint64_t to int, to match what
parse-options expects; in the tests of the progress output we won't
use values that don't fit into an int anyway.
[1] start_progress() expects the total number as an uint64_t, that's
why I chose the same type when declaring the variable holding the
value given on the command line.
