t9902 had a list of three random porcelain commands as a sanity check,
one of which was filter-branch. Since we are recommending people not
use filter-branch, let's update this test to use rebase instead of
filter-branch.

filter-branch suffers from a deluge of disguised dangers that disfigure
history rewrites (i.e. deviate from the deliberate changes). Many of
these problems are unobtrusive and can easily go undiscovered until the
new repository is in use. This can result in problems ranging from an
even messier history than what led folks to filter-branch in the first
place, to data loss or corruption. These issues cannot be backward
compatibly fixed, so add a warning to both filter-branch and its manpage
recommending that another tool (such as filter-repo) be used instead.
Also, update other manpages that referenced filter-branch. Several of
these needed updates even if we could continue recommending
filter-branch, either due to implying that something was unique to
filter-branch when it applied more generally to all history rewriting
tools (e.g. BFG, reposurgeon, fast-import, filter-repo), or because
something about filter-branch was used as an example despite other more
commonly known examples now existing. Reword these sections to fix
these issues and to avoid recommending filter-branch.
Finally, remove the section explaining BFG Repo Cleaner as an
alternative to filter-branch. I feel somewhat bad about this,
especially since I feel like I learned so much from BFG that I put to
good use in filter-repo (which is much more than I can say for
filter-branch), but keeping that section presented a few problems:
* In order to recommend that people quit using filter-branch, we need
to provide them a recomendation for something else to use that
can handle all the same types of rewrites. To my knowledge,
filter-repo is the only such tool. So it needs to be mentioned.
* I don't want to give conflicting recommendations to users
* If we recommend two tools, we shouldn't expect users to learn both
and pick which one to use; we should explain which problems one
can solve that the other can't or when one is much faster than
the other.
* BFG and filter-repo have similar performance
* All filtering types that BFG can do, filter-repo can also do. In
fact, filter-repo comes with a reimplementation of BFG named
bfg-ish which provides the same user-interface as BFG but with
several bugfixes and new features that are hard to implement in
BFG due to its technical underpinnings.
While I could still mention both tools, it seems like I would need to
provide some kind of comparison and I would ultimately just say that
filter-repo can do everything BFG can, so ultimately it seems that it
is just better to remove that section altogether.

Test t6006.71 ("oneline with empty message") was creating two commits
with simple commit messages, and then running filter-branch to rewrite
the commit messages to be "empty". This test was introduced in commit
1fb5fdd25f ("rev-list: fix --pretty=oneline with empty message",
2010-03-21) and written this way because the --allow-empty-message
option to git commit did not exist at the time.
However, the filter-branch invocation used differed slightly from
--allow-empty-message in that it would have a commit message consisting
solely of a single newline, and as such was not testing what the
original commit intended to test. Since both a truly empty commit
message and a commit message with a single linefeed could trigger the
original bug, modify the test slightly to include an example of each.
Despite only being one piece of the 71st test and there being 73 tests
overall, this small change to just this one test speeds up the overall
execution time of t6006 (as measured by the best of 3 runs of `time
./t6006-rev-list-format.sh`) by about 11% on Linux, 13% on Mac, and
about 15% on Windows.

the corresponding working tree file was empty. This has been
corrected.
* vn/restore-empty-ita-corner-case-fix:
restore: add test for deleted ita files
checkout.c: unstage empty deleted ita files
"git pack-refs" can lose refs that are created while running, which
is getting corrected.
* sc/pack-refs-deletion-racefix:

"git grep --recurse-submodules" that looks at the working tree

To avoid data loss, 'git worktree remove' refuses to delete a worktree
if it's dirty or contains untracked files. However, the error message
only mentions that the worktree "is dirty", even if the worktree in
question is in fact clean, but contains untracked files:
$ git worktree add test-worktree
Preparing worktree (new branch 'test-worktree')
HEAD is now at aa53e60 Initial
$ >test-worktree/untracked-file
$ git worktree remove test-worktree/
fatal: 'test-worktree/' is dirty, use --force to delete it
$ git -C test-worktree/ diff
$ git -C test-worktree/ diff --cached
$ # Huh? Where are those dirty files?!
Clarify this error message to say that the worktree "contains modified
or untracked files".

The grammar for commits used a '?' rather than a '*' on the `merge`
directive line, despite the fact that the code allows multiple `merge`
directives in order to support n-way merges. In fact, elsewhere in
git-fast-import.txt there is an explicit declaration that "an unlimited
number of `merge` commands per commit are permitted by fast-import".
Fix the grammar to match the intent and implementation.

There are two perf scripts numbered p5600, but with otherwise different
names ("clone-reference" versus "partial-clone"). We store timing
results in files named after the whole script, so internally we don't
get confused between the two. But "aggregate.perl" just prints the test
number for each result, giving multiple entries for "5600.3". It also
makes it impossible to skip one test but not the other with
GIT_SKIP_TESTS.
Let's renumber the one that appeared later (by date -- the source of the
problem is that the two were developed on independent branches). For the
non-perf test suite, our test-lint rule would have complained about this
when the two were merged, but t/perf never learned that trick.

Inspired by 21416f0a07 ("restore: fix typo in docs", 2019-08-03), I ran
"git grep -E '(\b[a-zA-Z]+) \1\b' -- Documentation/" to find other cases
where words were duplicated, e.g. "the the", and in most cases removed
one of the repeated words.
There were many false positives by this grep command, including
deliberate repeated words like "really really" or valid uses of "that
that" which I left alone, of course.
I also did not correct any of the legitimate, accidentally repeated
words in old RelNotes.
