Git has an additional "commit graph" capability that supplements the
normal commit object's directed acyclic graph (DAG). The supplemental
commit graph file is designed for speed of access.
Describe the commit graph both from the normative DAG view point and
from the commit graph file perspective.
Also, clarify the link between the branch ref and branch tip
by linking to the `ref` glossary entry, matching this commit graph
entry.
The commit-graph file is also distinguished by its hyphenation.
Subsequent commit catches the few cases where the hyphenation of
commit-graph was missing.

To determine whether it is safe to do so, let's encourage more users to

Users who have set feature.experimental=true have already volunteered to
try new and possibly-breaking config changes, so let's try this new
default with that set of users.

With the recent turnover on the git-security list, questions came up how
things are usually run. Rather than answering questions individually,
extend Git's existing documentation about security vulnerabilities to
describe the git-security mailing list, how things are run on that list,
and what to expect throughout the process from the time a security bug
is reported all the way to the time when a fix is released.

There are situations where the user might not want the default
setting where patch-id strips all whitespace. They might be working
in a language where white space is syntactically important, or they
might have CI testing that enforces strict whitespace linting. In
these cases, a whitespace change would result in the patch
fundamentally changing, and thus deserving of a different id.
Add a new mode that is exclusive of --stable and --unstable called
--verbatim. It also corresponds to the config
patchid.verbatim = true. In this mode, the stable algorithm is
used and whitespace is not stripped from the patch text.
Users of --unstable mainly care about compatibility with old git
versions, which unstripping the whitespace would break. Thus there
isn't a usecase for the combination of --verbatim and --unstable,
and we don't expose this so as to not add maintainence burden.

In addition to generating a shortlog based on committer, author, or the
identity in one or more specified trailers, it can be useful to generate
a shortlog based on an arbitrary commit format.
This can be used, for example, to generate a distribution of commit
activity over time, like so:
$ git shortlog --group='%cd' --date='format:%Y-%m' -s v2.37.0..
117 2022-06
274 2022-07
324 2022-08
263 2022-09
7 2022-10
Arbitrary commit formats can be used. In fact, `git shortlog`'s default
behavior (to count by commit authors) can be emulated as follows:
$ git shortlog --group='%aN <%aE>' ...
and future patches will make the default behavior (as well as
`--committer`, and `--group=trailer:<trailer>`) special cases of the
more flexible `--group` option.
Note also that the SHORTLOG_GROUP_FORMAT enum value is used only to
designate that `--group:<format>` is in use when in stdin mode to
declare that the combination is invalid.

Prepare for a future patch which will introduce arbitrary pretty formats
via the `--group` argument.
To allow additional customizability (for example, to support something
like `git shortlog -s --group='%aD' --date='format:%Y-%m' ...` (which
groups commits by the datestring 'YYYY-mm' according to author date), we
must store off the `--date` parsed from calling `parse_revision_opt()`.
Note that this also affects custom output `--format` strings in `git
shortlog`. Though this is a behavior change, this is arguably fixing a
long-standing bug (ie., that `--format` strings are not affected by
`--date` specifiers as they should be).

Add global counters mechanism to Trace2.
The Trace2 counters mechanism adds the ability to create a set of
global counter variables and an API to increment them efficiently.
Counters can optionally report per-thread usage in addition to the sum
across all threads.
Counter events are emitted to the Trace2 logs when a thread exits and
at process exit.
Counters are an alternative to `data` and `data_json` events.
Counters are useful when you want to measure something across the life
of the process, when you don't want per-measurement events for
performance reasons, when the data does not fit conveniently within a
region, or when your control flow does not easily let you write the
final total. For example, you might use this to report the number of
calls to unzip() or the number of de-delta steps during a checkout.

Add stopwatch timer mechanism to Trace2.
Timers are an alternative to Trace2 Regions. Regions are useful for
measuring the time spent in various computation phases, such as the
time to read the index, time to scan for unstaged files, time to scan
for untracked files, and etc.
However, regions are not appropriate in all places. For example,
during a checkout, it would be very inefficient to use regions to
measure the total time spent inflating objects from the ODB from
across the entire lifetime of the process; a per-unzip() region would
flood the output and significantly slow the command; and some form of
post-processing would be requried to compute the time spent in unzip().
Timers can be used to measure a series of timer intervals and emit
a single summary event (at thread and/or process exit).

Eliminate the mostly obsolete `Public API` sub-section from the
`Trace2 API` section in the documentation. Strengthen the referral
to `trace2.h`.
Most of the technical information in this sub-section was moved to
`trace2.h` in 6c51cb525d (trace2: move doc to trace2.h, 2019-11-17) to
be adjacent to the function prototypes. The remaining text wasn't
that useful by itself.
Furthermore, the text would need a bit of overhaul to add routines
that do not immediately generate a message, such as stopwatch timers.
So it seemed simpler to just get rid of it.

Reduce or eliminate use of the term "TLS" in the Trace2 code.
The term "TLS" has two popular meanings: "thread-local storage" and
"transport layer security". In the Trace2 source, the term is associated
with the former. There was concern on the mailing list about it refering
to the latter.
Update the source and documentation to eliminate the use of the "TLS" term
or replace it with the phrase "thread-local storage" to reduce ambiguity.
