Reword "man git-tag" to clarify that a tag can refer directly to an
arbitrary object, not just a commit object.

Fix a regression in 88f6ffc1c2 ("add -p: only bind search key if
there's more than one hunk", 2018-02-13) which is present in
2.17.0-rc*, but not 2.16.0.
In Perl, regex variables like $1 always refer to the last regex
match. When the aforementioned change added a new regex match between
the old match and the corresponding code that was expecting $1, the $1
variable would always be undef, since the newly inserted regex match
doesn't have any captures.
As a result the "/" feature to search for a string in a hunk by regex
completely broke, on git.git:
$ perl -pi -e 's/Git/Tig/g' README.md
$ ./git --exec-path=$PWD add -p
[..]
Stage this hunk [y,n,q,a,d,j,J,g,/,s,e,?]? s
Split into 4 hunks.
[...]
Stage this hunk [y,n,q,a,d,j,J,g,/,s,e,?]? /Many
Use of uninitialized value $1 in string eq at /home/avar/g/git/git-add--interactive line 1568, <STDIN> line 1.
search for regex? Many
I.e. the initial "/regex" command wouldn't work, and would always emit
a warning and ask again for a regex, now it works as intended again.

When upload-pack gained partial clone support (v2.17.0-rc0~132^2~12,
2017-12-08), it was guarded by the uploadpack.allowFilter config item
to allow server operators to control when they start supporting it.
That config item didn't go far enough, though: it controls whether the
'filter' capability is advertised, but if a (custom) client ignores
the capability advertisement and passes a filter specification anyway,
the server would handle that despite allowFilter being false.
This is particularly significant if a security bug is discovered in
this new experimental partial clone code. Installations without
uploadpack.allowFilter ought not to be affected since they don't
intend to support partial clone, but they would be swept up into being
vulnerable.
Simplify and limit the attack surface by making uploadpack.allowFilter
disable the feature, not just the advertisement of it.

Hotfix for recently graduated topic that give help to completion
scripts from the Git subcommands that are being completed
* nd/parseopt-completion:
t9902: disable test on the list of merge-strategies under GETTEXT_POISON
completion: clear cached --options when sourcing the completion script
This fixes a regression introduced in 2e612731b5 (submodule: port
submodule subcommand 'deinit' from shell to C, 2018-01-15), when
handling pathspecs that do not exist gracefully. This restores the
historic behavior of reporting the pathspec as unknown and returning
instead of reporting a bug.

In 1ada5020b3 ("stash: use stash_push for no verb form", 2017-02-28),
when the pathspec argument was introduced in 'git stash', that was also
documented. However I forgot to remove an extra square bracket after
the '--message' argument, even though the square bracket should have
been after the pathspec argument (where it was also added).
Remove the extra square bracket after the '--message' argument, to show
that the pathspec argument should be used with the 'push' verb.
While the pathspec argument can be used without the push verb, that's a
special case described later in the man page, and removing the first extra
square bracket instead of the second one makes the synopis easier to
understand.

The code to learn the list of merge strategies from the output of
"git merge -s help" forces C locale, so that it can notice the
message shown to indicate where the list starts in the output.
However, GETTEXT_POISON build corrupts its output even when run in
the C locale, and we cannot expect this test to succeed.
