Change the documentation so that:
* We don't talk about "little scripts". Hooks can be as big as you
want, and don't have to be scripts, just call them "programs".
* We note that we change the working directory before a hook is called,
nothing documented this explicitly, but the current behavior is
predictable. It helps a lot to know what directory these hooks will
be executed from.
* We don't make claims about the example hooks which may not be true
depending on the configuration of 'init.templateDir'. Clarify that
we're talking about the default settings of git-init in those cases,
and move some of this documentation into git-init's documentation
about the default templates.
* We briefly note in the intro that hooks can get their arguments in
various different ways, and that how exactly is described below for
each hook.

The two alternative ways to spell "ssh://" transport have been
deprecated for a long time. The last mention of them has finally
removed from the documentation.
* cn/deprecate-ssh-git-url:
Disown ssh+git and git+ssh
Expand the area of globs applicability for branches and tags
in git-svn. It is now possible to use globs like 'a*e', or 'release_*'.
This allows users to avoid long lines in config like:
branches = branches/{release_20,release_21,release_22,...}
In favor of:
branches = branches/release_*

Some people argue that these were silly from the beginning (see
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/285590/focus=285601
for example), but we have to support them for compatibility.
That doesn't mean we have to show them in the documentation. These
were already left out of the main list, but a reference in the main
manpage was left, so remove that.
Also add a note to discourage their use if anybody goes looking for them
in the source code.

The wording is introduced in c3f0baaca (Documentation: sync git.txt

since then, capture the modern usage by being more generic about the
rebase command in the summary.

There is a new DEVELOPER knob that enables many compiler warning
options in the Makefile.

The "credential-cache" daemon process used to run in whatever
directory it happened to start in, but this made umount(2)ing the
filesystem that houses the repository harder; now the process
chdir()s to the directory that house its own socket on startup.
* jg/credential-cache-chdir-to-sockdir:
credential-cache--daemon: change to the socket dir on startup
credential-cache--daemon: disallow relative socket path
credential-cache--daemon: refactor check_socket_directory
The configuration system has been taught to phrase where it found a
bad configuration variable in a better way in its error messages.
"git config" learnt a new "--show-origin" option to indicate where
the values come from.
* ls/config-origin:
config: add '--show-origin' option to print the origin of a config value
config: add 'origin_type' to config_source struct
rename git_config_from_buf to git_config_from_mem
t: do not hide Git's exit code in tests using 'nul_to_q'
Update various codepaths to avoid manually-counted malloc().

The ref-filter's format-parsing code has been refactored, in
preparation for "branch --format" and friends.
* kn/ref-filter-atom-parsing:

ref-filter: use string_list_split over strbuf_split
We assume Git developers have a reasonably modern compiler and recommend
them to enable the DEVELOPER makefile knob to ensure their patches are
clear of all compiler warnings the Git core project cares about.
Enable the DEVELOPER makefile knob in the Travis-CI build.

Another try to add support to the ignore mechanism that lets you
say "this is excluded" and then later say "oh, no, this part (that
is a subset of the previous part) is not excluded".
* nd/exclusion-regression-fix:
dir.c: don't exclude whole dir prematurely
dir.c: support marking some patterns already matched
dir.c: support tracing exclude
dir.c: fix match_pathname()
You can now set http.[<url>.]pinnedpubkey to specify the pinned
public key when building with recent enough versions of libcURL.
* ce/https-public-key-pinning:
http: implement public key pinning
Some authentication methods do not need username or password, but
libcurl needs some hint that it needs to perform authentication.
Supplying an empty username and password string is a valid way to
do so, but you can set the http.[<url>.]emptyAuth configuration
variable to achieve the same, if you find it cleaner.
* bc/http-empty-auth:
http: add option to try authentication without username
"git fetch" and friends that make network connections can now be
told to only use ipv4 (or ipv6).
* ew/force-ipv4:
connect & http: support -4 and -6 switches for remote operations
The default behavior is well documented already in git-config(1), but
git-push(1) itself did not mention it at all. For users willing to learn
how "git push" works but not how to configure it, this makes the
documentation cumbersome to read.
Make the git-push(1) page self-contained by adding a short summary of
what 'push.default=simple' does, early in the page.
