While `git update-index` mostly ignores paths referring to index entries
whose skip-worktree bit is set, in b4d1690df1 (Teach Git to respect
skip-worktree bit (reading part), 2009-08-20), for reasons that are not
entirely obvious, the `--remove` option was made special: it _does_
remove index entries even if their skip-worktree bit is set.
Seeing as this behavior has been in place for a decade now, it does not
make sense to change it.
However, in preparation for fixing a bug in `git stash` where it
pretends that skip-worktree entries have actually been removed, we need
a mode where `git update-index` leaves all skip-worktree entries alone,
even if the `--remove` option was passed.

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.

We recently regressed our rendering with Asciidoctor of "literal"
elements in our manpages, i.e, stuff we have placed within `backticks`
in order to render as monospace. In particular, we lost the bold
rendering of such literal text.
The culprit is f6461b82b9 ("Documentation: fix build with Asciidoctor 2",
2019-09-15), where we switched from DocBook 4.5 to DocBook 5 with
Asciidoctor. As part of the switch, we started using the namespaced
DocBook XSLT stylesheets rather than the non-namespaced ones. (See
f6461b82b9 for more details on why we changed to the namespaced ones.)
The bold literals are implemented as an XSLT snippet <xsl:template
match="literal">...</xsl:template>. Now that we use namespaces, this
doesn't pick up our literals like it used to.
Match for "d:literal" in addition to just "literal", after defining the
d namespace. ("d" is what
http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl-ns/current/manpages/docbook.xsl
uses.) Note that we need to keep matching without the namespace for
AsciiDoc.
This boldness was introduced by 5121a6d993 ("Documentation: option to
render literal text as bold for manpages", 2009-03-27) and made the
default in 5945717009 ("Documentation: bold literals in man",
2016-05-31).
One reason this was not caught in review is that our doc-diff tool diffs
without any boldness, i.e., it "only" compares text. As pointed out by
Peff in review of this patch, one can use `MAN_KEEP_FORMATTING=1
./doc-diff <...>`
This has been optically tested with AsciiDoc 8.6.10, Asciidoctor 1.5.5
and Asciidoctor 2.0.10. I've also verified that doc-diff produces the
empty output for all three programs, as expected, and that with the
MAN_KEEP_FORMATTING trick, AsciiDoc yields no diff, whereas with
Asciidoctor, we get bold literals, just like we want.

In many projects the number of contributors is low enough that users know
each other and the full email address doesn't need to be displayed.
Displaying only the author's username saves a lot of columns on the screen.
Existing 'e/E' (as in "%ae" and "%aE") placeholders would show the
author's address as "prarit@redhat.com", which would waste columns to show
the same domain-part for all contributors when used in a project internal
to redhat. Introduce 'l/L' placeholders that strip '@' and domain part from
the e-mail address.

The hotfix application example uses `git merge --no-commit` to apply
temporary changes to the working tree during a bisect operation. In some
situations this can be a fast-forward and `merge` will apply the hotfix
branch's commits regardless of `--no-commit` (as documented in the `git
merge` manual).
In the pathological case this will make a `git bisect run` invocation
loop indefinitely between the first bisect step and the fast-forwarded
post-merge HEAD.
Add `--no-ff` to the merge command to avoid this issue.

Since the transition plan allows for multiple input algorithms, document

results may take. While we don't support this now, documenting it early
means that script authors can future-proof their scripts for when we do.

Remove empty and redundant documentation files from the
Documentation/technical/ directory.
The empty doc files included only TODO messages with no documentation for
years. Instead an approach is being taken to keep all doc beside the code
in the relevant header files.
Having empty doc files is confusing and disappointing to anybody looking
for information, besides having the documentation in header files makes it
easier for developers to find the information they are looking for.
Some of the content which could have gone here already exists elsewhere:
- api-object-access.txt -> sha1-file.c and object.h have some details.
- api-quote.txt -> quote.h has some details.
- api-xdiff-interface.txt -> xdiff-interface.h has some details.
- api-grep.txt -> grep.h does not have enough documentation at the moment.

When pushing more than one reference with the --atomic option, the
server is supposed to perform a single atomic transaction to update the
references, leaving them either all to succeed or all to fail. This
works fine when pushing locally or over SSH, but when pushing over HTTP,
we fail to pass the atomic capability to the remote side. In fact, we
have not reported this capability to any remote helpers during the life
of the feature.
Now normally, things happen to work nevertheless, since we actually
check for most types of failures, such as non-fast-forward updates, on
the client side, and just abort the entire attempt. However, if the
server side reports a problem, such as the inability to lock a ref, the
transaction isn't atomic, because we haven't passed the appropriate
capability over and the remote side has no way of knowing that we wanted
atomic behavior.
Fix this by passing the option from the transport code through to remote
helpers, and from the HTTP remote helper down to send-pack. With this
change, we can detect if the server side rejects the push and report
back appropriately. Note the difference in the messages: the remote
side reports "atomic transaction failed", while our own checking rejects
pushes with the message "atomic push failed".
Document the atomic option in the remote helper documentation, so other
implementers can implement it if they like.

Existing documentation on object walks seems to be primarily intended
as a reference for those already familiar with the procedure. This
tutorial attempts to give an entry-level guide to a couple of bare-bones
object walks so that new Git contributors can learn the concepts
without having to wade through options parsing or special casing.
The target audience is a Git contributor who is just getting started
with the concept of object walking. The goal is to prepare this
contributor to be able to understand and modify existing commands which
perform revision walks more easily, although it will also prepare
contributors to create new commands which perform walks.
The tutorial covers a basic overview of the structs involved during
object walk, setting up a basic commit walk, setting up a basic
all-object walk, and adding some configuration changes to both walk
types. It intentionally does not cover how to create new commands or
search for options from the command line or gitconfigs.
There is an associated patchset at
https://github.com/nasamuffin/git/tree/revwalk that contains a reference
implementation of the code generated by this tutorial.
