This parameter is equivalent to the parameter --parents on svn cp commands
and is useful for non-standard repository layouts.

The existing documentation for "-d" does not make it obvious whether
its argument is supposed to be a full svn path, a partial svn path,
the glob from the config file, or what. Clarify the text and add an
example to get the reader started.

"git svn" can be configured to use multiple fetch, branches, and tags
refspecs by passing multiple --branches or --tags options at init time
or editing the configuration file later, which can be handy when
working with messy Subversion repositories. Add a note to the
configuration section documenting how this works.

Describe how 'add' sets the submodule's logical name, which is used in
the configuration entry names.
Clarify that 'init' only sets up the configuration entries for
submodules that have already been added elsewhere. Describe that
<path> arguments limit the submodules that are configured.

The SVN::Fetcher module is now able to filter for inclusion as well
as exclusion (as used by --ignore-path). Also added tests, documentation
changes and git completion script.
If you have an SVN repository with many top level directories and you
only want a git-svn clone of some of them then using --ignore-path is
difficult as it requires a very long regexp. In this case it's much
easier to filter for inclusion.

The wording for "revision" in the glossary wanted to say it refers
to "commit (noun) as a concept" but it was badly phrased.
This may need further updates to hint that in contexts where it is
clear, the word may refer to an object name, not necessarily a
commit. But the patch as-is is already an improvement.

The 'git remote show' and 'prune' subcommands are documented as taking
only a single remote name argument, but that is not the case; they
will simply iterate the action over all remotes given. Update the
documentation and tests to match.
With the last user of the -f flag gone, we also remove the code
supporting it.

pretty-printing body of the commit that is stored in non UTF-8
encoding did not work well. The early part of this series fixes
it. And then it adds %C(auto) specifier that turns the coloring on
when we are emitting to the terminal, and adds column-aligning
format directives.
* nd/pretty-formats:
pretty: support %>> that steal trailing spaces
pretty: support truncating in %>, %< and %><
pretty: support padding placeholders, %< %> and %><
pretty: add %C(auto) for auto-coloring
pretty: split color parsing into a separate function
pretty: two phase conversion for non utf-8 commits
utf8.c: add reencode_string_len() that can handle NULs in string
utf8.c: add utf8_strnwidth() with the ability to skip ansi sequences
utf8.c: move display_mode_esc_sequence_len() for use by other functions
pretty: share code between format_decoration and show_decorations
pretty-formats.txt: wrap long lines
pretty: get the correct encoding for --pretty:format=%e
pretty: save commit encoding from logmsg_reencode if the caller needs it
Fixes a handful of issues in the code to traverse working tree to
find untracked and/or ignored files, cleans up and optimizes the
codepath in general.
* kb/status-ignored-optim-2:

dir.c: git-status: avoid is_excluded checks for tracked files
dir.c: replace is_path_excluded with now equivalent is_excluded API
dir.c: unify is_excluded and is_path_excluded APIs
dir.c: move prep_exclude
dir.c: factor out parts of last_exclude_matching for later reuse
dir.c: git-clean -d -X: don't delete tracked directories
dir.c: make 'git-status --ignored' work within leading directories
dir.c: git-status --ignored: don't list empty directories as ignored
dir.c: git-ls-files --directories: don't hide empty directories
dir.c: git-status --ignored: don't list empty ignored directories
dir.c: git-status --ignored: don't list files in ignored directories
dir.c: git-status --ignored: don't drop ignored directories
In the historical context of "git add --all ." that pays attention
to "all kinds of changes" (implying "without ignoring removals"),
the option to countermand it "--no-all" may have made sense, but
because we will be making "--all" the default when a pathspec is
given, it makes more sense to rename the option to a more explicit
"--ignore-removal". The "--all" option naturally becomes its
negation, "--no-ignore-removal".
