Depending on the application, it is not necessarily an error for an object
to lack a note, especially if the only thing the caller wants to make sure
is that notes are cleared for an object. By passing this option from the
command line, the "git notes remove" command considers it a success if the
object did not have any note to begin with.

While "xargs -n1 git notes rm" is certainly a possible way to remove notes
from many objects, this would create one notes "commit" per removal, which
is not quite suitable for seasonal housekeeping.
Allow taking more than one on the command line, and record their removal
as a single atomic event if everthing goes well.
Even though the old code insisted that "git notes rm" must be given only
one object (or zero, in which case it would default to HEAD), this
condition was not tested. Add tests to handle the new case where we feed
multiple objects, and also make sure if there is a bad input, no change
is recorded.

The "git ls-remote" uses its exit status to indicate if it successfully
talked with the remote repository. A new option "--exit-code" makes the
command exit with status "2" when there is no refs to be listed, even when
the command successfully talked with the remote repository.
This way, the caller can tell if we failed to contact the remote, or the
remote did not have what we wanted to see. Of course, you can inspect the
output from the command, which has been and will continue to be a valid
way to check the same thing.

Since 0beee4c (git-add--interactive: remove hunk coalescing, 2008-07-02),
"git add--interactive" behaves lazily and passes overlapping hunks to the
underlying "git apply" without coalescing. This was partially corrected
by 7a26e65 (its partial revert, 2009-05-16), but overlapping hunks are
still passed when the patch is edited.
Teach "git apply" the --allow-overlap option that disables a safety
feature that avoids misapplication of patches by not applying patches
to overlapping hunks, and pass this option form "add -p" codepath.
Do not even advertise the option, as this is merely a workaround, and the
correct fix is to make "add -p" correctly coalesce adjacent patch hunks.

The names and e-mails are sanitized by fmt_ident() when creating commits,
so that they do not contain "<" nor ">", and the "committer" and "author"

("author" | "committer") name SP "<" email ">" SP timestamp SP zone
When parsing the email part out, the current code looks for SP starting
from the end of the email part, but the author could obfuscate the address
as "author at example dot com".

"git add -u" updates the index with the updated contents from the working
tree by internally running "diff-files" to grab the set of paths that are
different from the index. Then it updates the index entries for the paths
that are modified in the working tree, and deletes the index entries for
the paths that are deleted in the working tree.
It ignored the output from the diff-files that indicated that a path is
unmerged. For these paths, it instead relied on the fact that an unmerged
path is followed by the result of comparison between stage #2 (ours) and
the working tree, and used that to update or delete such a path when it is
used to record the resolution of a conflict.
As the result, when a path did not have stage #2 (e.g. "we deleted while
the other side added"), these unmerged stages were left behind, instead of
recording what the user resolved in the working tree.
Since we recently fixed "diff-files" to indicate if the corresponding path
exists on the working tree for an unmerged path, we do not have to rely on
the comparison with stage #2 anymore. We can instead tell the diff-files
not to compare with higher stages, and use the unmerged output to update
the index to reflect the state of the working tree.
The changes to the test vector in t2200 illustrates the nature of the bug
and the fix. The test expected stage #1 and #3 entries be left behind,
but it was codifying the buggy behaviour.

The configuration created by plain --mirror is dangerous and
useless, and we now have --mirror=fetch and --mirror=push to
replace it. Let's warn the user.
One alternative to this is to try to guess which type the
user wants. In a non-bare repository, a fetch mirror doesn't
make much sense, since it would overwrite local commits. But
in a bare repository, you might use either type, or even
both (e.g., if you are acting as an intermediate drop-point
across two disconnected networks).
So rather than try for complex heuristics, let's keep it
simple. The user knows what they're trying to do, so let
them tell us.

git-remote currently has one option, "--mirror", which sets
up mirror configuration which can be used for either
fetching or pushing. It looks like this:
[remote "mirror"]
url = wherever
fetch = +refs/*:refs/*
mirror = true
However, a remote like this can be dangerous and confusing.
Specifically:
1. If you issue the wrong command, it can be devastating.
You are not likely to "push" when you meant to "fetch",
but "git remote update" will try to fetch it, even if
you intended the remote only for pushing. In either
case, the results can be quite destructive. An
unintended push will overwrite or delete remote refs,
and an unintended fetch can overwrite local branches.
2. The tracking setup code can produce confusing results.
The fetch refspec above means that "git checkout -b new
master" will consider refs/heads/master to come from
the remote "mirror", even if you only ever intend to
push to the mirror. It will set up the "new" branch to
track mirror's refs/heads/master.
3. The push code tries to opportunistically update
tracking branches. If you "git push mirror foo:bar",
it will see that we are updating mirror's
refs/heads/bar, which corresponds to our local
refs/heads/bar, and will update our local branch.
To solve this, we split the concept into "push mirrors" and
"fetch mirrors". Push mirrors set only remote.*.mirror,
solving (2) and (3), and making an accidental fetch write
only into FETCH_HEAD. Fetch mirrors set only the fetch
refspec, meaning an accidental push will not force-overwrite
or delete refs on the remote end.
The new syntax is "--mirror=<fetch|push>". For
compatibility, we keep "--mirror" as-is, setting up both
types simultaneously.
