Upon seeing a merge commit when bisecting, this option may be used to
follow only the first parent.
In detecting regressions introduced through the merging of a branch, the
merge commit will be identified as introduction of the bug and its
ancestors will be ignored.
This option is particularly useful in avoiding false positives when a
merged branch contained broken or non-buildable commits, but the merge
itself was OK.

The options --missing=allow-{any,promisor} were introduced in caf3827e2f
("rev-list: add list-objects filtering support", 2017-11-22) with the
following note in the commit message:
This patch introduces handling of missing objects to help
debugging and development of the "partial clone" mechanism,
and once the mechanism is implemented, for a power user to
perform operations that are missing-object aware without
incurring the cost of checking if a missing link is expected.
The idea that these options are missing-object aware (and thus do not
need to lazily fetch objects, unlike unaware commands that assume that
all objects are present) are assumed in later commits such as 07ef3c6604
("fetch test: use more robust test for filtered objects", 2020-01-15).
However, the current implementations of these options use
has_object_file(), which indeed lazily fetches missing objects. Teach
these implementations not to do so. Also, update the documentation of
these options to be clearer.

Not all man5/man7 guides are mentioned in the 'git(1)' documentation,
which makes the missing ones somewhat hard to find.
Add a list of the guides to git(1) by leveraging the existing
`Documentation/cmd-list.perl` script to generate a file `cmds-guide.txt`
which gets included in git.txt.
Also, do not hard-code the manual section '1'. Instead, use a regex so
that the manual section is discovered from the first line of each
`git*.txt` file.

In b79cf959b2 (upload-pack.c: allow banning certain object filter(s),
2020-02-26), we introduced functionality to disallow certain object
filters from being chosen from within 'git upload-pack'. Traditionally,
administrators use this functionality to disallow filters that are known
to perform slowly, for e.g., those that do not have bitmap-level
filtering.
In the past, the '--filter=tree:<n>' was one such filter that does not
have bitmap-level filtering support, and so was likely to be banned by
administrators.
However, in the previous couple of commits, we introduced bitmap-level
filtering for the case when 'n' is equal to '0', i.e., as if we had a
'--filter=tree:none' choice.
While it would be sufficient to simply write
$ git config uploadpackfilter.tree.allow true
(since it would allow all values of 'n'), we would like to be able to
allow this filter for certain values of 'n', i.e., those no greater than
some pre-specified maximum.
In order to do this, introduce a new configuration key, as follows:
$ git config uploadpackfilter.tree.maxDepth <m>
where '<m>' specifies the maximum allowed value of 'n' in the filter
'tree:n'. Administrators who wish to allow for only the value '0' can
write:
$ git config uploadpackfilter.tree.allow true
$ git config uploadpackfilter.tree.maxDepth 0
which allows '--filter=tree:0', but no other values.

Git clients may ask the server for a partial set of objects, where the
set of objects being requested is refined by one or more object filters.
Server administrators can configure 'git upload-pack' to allow or ban
these filters by setting the 'uploadpack.allowFilter' variable to
'true' or 'false', respectively.
However, administrators using bitmaps may wish to allow certain kinds of
object filters, but ban others. Specifically, they may wish to allow
object filters that can be optimized by the use of bitmaps, while
rejecting other object filters which aren't and represent a perceived
performance degradation (as well as an increased load factor on the
server).
Allow configuring 'git upload-pack' to support object filters on a
case-by-case basis by introducing two new configuration variables:
- 'uploadpackfilter.allow'
- 'uploadpackfilter.<kind>.allow'
where '<kind>' may be one of 'blobNone', 'blobLimit', 'tree', and so on.
Setting the second configuration variable for any valid value of
'<kind>' explicitly allows or disallows restricting that kind of object
filter.
If a client requests the object filter <kind> and the respective
configuration value is not set, 'git upload-pack' will default to the
value of 'uploadpackfilter.allow', which itself defaults to 'true' to
maintain backwards compatibility. Note that this differs from
'uploadpack.allowfilter', which controls whether or not the 'filter'
capability is advertised.

Introduce multi-valued merge.suppressDest configuration variable
that gives a set of globs to match against the name of the branch
into which the merge is being made, to let users specify for which
branch fmt-merge-msg's output should be shortened. When it is not
set, 'master' is used as the sole value of the variable by default.
The above move mostly reverts the pre-2.28 default in repositories
that have no relevant configuration.
Add a few tests to protect the behaviour with the new configuration
variable from future regression.

Currently we detect the hash algorithm in use by the length of the
object ID. This is inelegant and prevents us from using a different
hash algorithm that is also 256 bits in length.
Since we cannot extend the v2 format in a backward-compatible way, let's
add a v3 format, which is identical, except for the addition of
capabilities, which are prefixed by an at sign. We add "object-format"
as the only capability and reject unknown capabilities, since we do not
have a network connection and therefore cannot negotiate with the other
side.
For compatibility, default to the v2 format for SHA-1 and require v3
for SHA-256.
In t5510, always use format v3 so we can be sure we produce consistent
results across hash algorithms. Since head -n N lists the top N lines
instead of the Nth line, let's run our output through sed to normalize
it and compare it against a fixed value, which will make sure we get
exactly what we're expecting.

Our rev-list-options.txt include has a "Diff Formatting" section, but it
is ifndef'd out for all manpages except git-log. And a few bits of the
text are rather out of date.
We say "some of these options are specific to git-rev-list". That's
obviously silly since we (even before this patch) show the content only
for git-log. But moreover, it's not true; each of the listed options is
meaningful for other diff commands.
We also say "...however other diff options may be given. See git-diff-files
for more options." But there's no need to do so; git-log already has a
"Common Diff Options" section which includes diff-options.txt.
So let's move these options over to git-log and put them with the other
diff options, giving a single "diff" section for the git-log
documentation. We'll call it "Diff Formatting" but use the all-caps
top-level header to match its sibling sections. And we'll rewrite the

The "-m" option sets revs->ignore_merges to "0", but there's no way to
undo it. This probably isn't something anybody overly cares about, since
"1" is already the default, but it will serve as an escape hatch when we
flip the default for ignore_merges to "0" in more situations.
We'll also add a few extra niceties:
- initialize the value to "-1" to indicate "not set", and then resolve
it to the normal 0/1 bool in setup_revisions(). This lets any tweak
functions, as well as setup_revisions() itself, avoid clobbering the
user's preference (which until now they couldn't actually express).
- since we now have --no-diff-merges, let's add the matching
--diff-merges, which is just a synonym for "-m". Then we don't even
need to document --no-diff-merges separately; it countermands the
long form of "-m" in the usual way.
The new test shows that this behaves just the same as the current
behavior without "-m".

7. git diff [<options>] <commit> <commit>... <commit> [--] [<path>...]
8. git diff [<options>] <commit>...<commit> [--] [<path>...]
It then goes on to say that "all of the <commit> in the above
description, except in the last two forms that use '..' notations, can
be any <tree>". The "last two" actually refers to 6 and 8. This got out
of sync in commit b7e10b2ca2 ("Documentation: usage for diff combined
commits", 2020-06-12) which added item 7 to the mix.
As a further complication, after b7e10b2ca2 we also have some potential
confusion around "the '..' notation". The "..[.]" in items 6 and 8 are
part of the rev notation, whereas the "..." in item 7 is manpage
language for "one or more".
Move item 6 down, i.e., to between 7 and 8, to restore the ordering.
Because 6 refers to 5 ("synonymous to the previous form") we need to
tweak the language a bit.

from `git diff <commit>..<commit>` and moving it further down probably

Rebase is implemented with two different backends - 'apply' and

particular the apply backend supports a number of options implemented
by 'git am' that are not implemented in the merge backend. This means
that the available options are different depending on which backend is
used which is confusing. This patch adds support for the
--ignore-whitespace option to the merge backend. This option treats
lines with only whitespace changes as unchanged and is implemented in
the merge backend by translating it to -Xignore-space-change.

The fetch.writeCommitGraph feature makes fetches write out a commit
graph file for the newly downloaded pack on fetch. This improves the
performance of various commands that would perform a revision walk and
eventually ought to be the default for everyone. To prepare for that
future, it's enabled by default for users that set
feature.experimental=true to experience such future defaults.
Alas, for --unshallow fetches from a shallow clone it runs into a
snag: by the time Git has fetched the new objects and is writing a
commit graph, it has performed a revision walk and r->parsed_objects
contains information about the shallow boundary from *before* the
fetch. The commit graph writing code is careful to avoid writing a
commit graph file in shallow repositories, but the new state is not
shallow, and the result is that from that point on, commands like "git
log" make use of a newly written commit graph file representing a
fictional history with the old shallow boundary.
We could fix this by making the commit graph writing code more careful
to avoid writing a commit graph that could have used any grafts or
shallow state, but it is possible that there are other pieces of
mutated state that fetch's commit graph writing code may be relying
on. So disable it in the feature.experimental configuration.
Google developers have been running in this configuration (by setting
fetch.writeCommitGraph=false in the system config) to work around this
bug since it was discovered in April. Once the fix lands, we'll
enable fetch.writeCommitGraph=true again to give it some early testing
before rolling out to a wider audience.
In other words:
- this patch only affects behavior with feature.experimental=true
- it makes feature.experimental match the configuration Google has
been using for the last few months, meaning it would leave users in
a better tested state than without it
- this should improve testing for other features guarded by
feature.experimental, by making feature.experimental safer to use

The changed-path Bloom filters were released in v2.27.0, but have a
significant drawback. A user can opt-in to writing the changed-path
filters using the "--changed-paths" option to "git commit-graph write"
but the next write will drop the filters unless that option is
specified.
This becomes even more important when considering the interaction with
gc.writeCommitGraph (on by default) or fetch.writeCommitGraph (part of
features.experimental). These config options trigger commit-graph writes
that the user did not signal, and hence there is no --changed-paths
option available.
Allow a user that opts-in to the changed-path filters to persist the
property of "my commit-graph has changed-path filters" automatically. A
user can drop filters using the --no-changed-paths option.
In the process, we need to be extremely careful to match the Bloom
filter settings as specified by the commit-graph. This will allow future
versions of Git to customize these settings, and the version with this
change will persist those settings as commit-graphs are rewritten on
top.
Use the trace2 API to signal the settings used during the write, and
check that output in a test after manually adjusting the correct bytes
in the commit-graph file.

After you anonymize a repository, it can be hard to find which commits
correspond between the original and the result, and thus hard to
reproduce commands that triggered bugs in the original.
Let's make it possible to seed the anonymization map. This lets users
either:
- mark names to be retained as-is, if they don't consider them secret
(in which case their original commands would just work)
- map names to new values, which lets them adapt the reproduction
recipe to the new names without revealing the originals
The implementation is fairly straight-forward. We already store each
anonymized token in a hashmap (so that the same token appearing twice is
converted to the same result). We can just introduce a new "seed"
hashmap which is consulted first.
This does make a few more promises to the user about how we'll anonymize
things (e.g., token-splitting pathnames). But it's unlikely that we'd
want to change those rules, even if the actual anonymization of a single
token changes. And it makes things much easier for the user, who can
unblind only a directory name without having to specify each path within
it.
One alternative to this approach would be to anonymize as we see fit,
and then dump the whole refname and pathname mappings to a file. This
does work, but it's a bit awkward to use (you have to manually dig the
items you care about out of the mapping).

When `remote.<name>.branch` is not configured, `git submodule update`
currently falls back to using the branch name `master`. A much better
idea, however, is to use the remote `HEAD`: on all Git servers running
reasonably recent Git versions, the symref `HEAD` points to the main
branch.
Note: t7419 demonstrates that there _might_ be use cases out there that
_expect_ `git submodule update --remote` to update submodules to the
remote `master` branch even if the remote `HEAD` points to another
branch. Arguably, this patch makes the behavior more intuitive, but
there is a slight possibility that this might cause regressions in
obscure setups.
Even so, it should be okay to fix this behavior without anything like a
longer transition period:
- The `git submodule update --remote` command is not really common.
- Current Git's behavior when running this command is outright
confusing, unless the remote repository's current branch _is_ `master`
(in which case the proposed behavior matches the old behavior).
- If a user encounters a regression due to the changed behavior, the fix
is actually trivial: setting `submodule.<name>.branch` to `master`
will reinstate the old behavior.

The low-level reference transactions used to update references are
currently completely opaque to the user. While certainly desirable in
most usecases, there are some which might want to hook into the
transaction to observe all queued reference updates as well as observing
the abortion or commit of a prepared transaction.
One such usecase would be to have a set of replicas of a given Git
repository, where we perform Git operations on all of the repositories
at once and expect the outcome to be the same in all of them. While
there exist hooks already for a certain subset of Git commands that
could be used to implement a voting mechanism for this, many others
currently don't have any mechanism for this.
The above scenario is the motivation for the new "reference-transaction"
hook that reaches directly into Git's reference transaction mechanism.
The hook receives as parameter the current state the transaction was
moved to ("prepared", "committed" or "aborted") and gets via its
standard input all queued reference updates. While the exit code gets
ignored in the "committed" and "aborted" states, a non-zero exit code in
the "prepared" state will cause the transaction to be aborted
prematurely.
Given the usecase described above, a voting mechanism can now be
implemented via this hook: as soon as it gets called, it will take all
of stdin and use it to cast a vote to a central service. When all
replicas of the repository agree, the hook will exit with zero,
otherwise it will abort the transaction by returning non-zero. The most
important upside is that this will catch _all_ commands writing
references at once, allowing to implement strong consistency for
reference updates via a single mechanism.
In order to test the impact on the case where we don't have any
"reference-transaction" hook installed in the repository, this commit
introduce two new performance tests for git-update-refs(1). Run against
an empty repository, it produces the following results:
Test origin/master HEAD
--------------------------------------------------------------------
1400.2: update-ref 2.70(2.10+0.71) 2.71(2.10+0.73) +0.4%
1400.3: update-ref --stdin 0.21(0.09+0.11) 0.21(0.07+0.14) +0.0%
The performance test p1400.2 creates, updates and deletes a branch a
thousand times, thus averaging runtime of git-update-refs over 3000
invocations. p1400.3 instead calls `git-update-refs --stdin` three times
and queues a thousand creations, updates and deletes respectively.
As expected, p1400.3 consistently shows no noticeable impact, as for
each batch of updates there's a single call to access(3P) for the
negative hook lookup. On the other hand, for p1400.2, one can see an
impact caused by this patchset. But doing five runs of the performance
tests where each one was run with GIT_PERF_REPEAT_COUNT=10, the overhead
ranged from -1.5% to +1.1%. These inconsistent performance numbers can
be explained by the overhead of spawning 3000 processes. This shows that
the overhead of assembling the hook path and executing access(3P) once
to check if it's there is mostly outweighed by the operating system's
overhead.

Ignoring the sparse-checkout feature momentarily, if one has a submodule and
creates local branches within it with unpushed changes and maybe adds some
untracked files to it, then we would want to avoid accidentally removing such
a submodule. So, for example with git.git, if you run
git checkout v2.13.0
then the sha1collisiondetection/ submodule is NOT removed even though it
did not exist as a submodule until v2.14.0. Similarly, if you only had
v2.13.0 checked out previously and ran
git checkout v2.14.0
the sha1collisiondetection/ submodule would NOT be automatically
initialized despite being part of v2.14.0. In both cases, git requires
submodules to be initialized or deinitialized separately. Further, we
also have special handling for submodules in other commands such as
clean, which requires two --force flags to delete untracked submodules,
and some commands have a --recurse-submodules flag.
sparse-checkout is very similar to checkout, as evidenced by the similar
name -- it adds and removes files from the working copy. However, for
the same avoid-data-loss reasons we do not want to remove a submodule
from the working copy with checkout, we do not want to do it with
sparse-checkout either. So submodules need to be separately initialized
or deinitialized; changing sparse-checkout rules should not
automatically trigger the removal or vivification of submodules.
I believe the previous wording in git-sparse-checkout.txt about
submodules was only about this particular issue. Unfortunately, the
previous wording could be interpreted to imply that submodules should be
considered active regardless of sparsity patterns. Update the wording
to avoid making such an implication. It may be helpful to consider two
example situations where the differences in wording become important:
In the future, we want users to be able to run commands like
git clone --sparse=moduleA --recurse-submodules $REPO_URL
and have sparsity paths automatically set up and have submodules *within
the sparsity paths* be automatically initialized. We do not want all
submodules in any path to be automatically initialized with that
command.
Similarly, we want to be able to do things like
git -c sparse.restrictCmds grep --recurse-submodules $REV $PATTERN
and search through $REV for $PATTERN within the recorded sparsity
patterns. We want it to recurse into submodules within those sparsity
patterns, but do not want to recurse into directories that do not match
the sparsity patterns in search of a possible submodule.

"git worktree add" takes special care to avoid creating a new worktree
at a location already registered to an existing worktree even if that
worktree is missing (which can happen, for instance, if the worktree
resides on removable media). "git worktree move", however, is not so
careful when validating the destination location and will happily move
the source worktree atop the location of a missing worktree. This leads
to the anomalous situation of multiple worktrees being associated with
the same path, which is expressly forbidden by design. For example:
$ git clone foo.git
$ cd foo
$ git worktree add ../bar
$ git worktree add ../baz
$ rm -rf ../bar
$ git worktree move ../baz ../bar
$ git worktree list
.../foo beefd00f [master]
.../bar beefd00f [bar]
.../bar beefd00f [baz]
$ git worktree remove ../bar
fatal: validation failed, cannot remove working tree:
'.../bar' does not point back to '.git/worktrees/bar'
Fix this shortcoming by enhancing "git worktree move" to perform the
same additional validation of the destination directory as done by "git
worktree add".
While at it, add a test to verify that "git worktree move" won't move a
worktree atop an existing (non-worktree) path -- a restriction which has
always been in place but was never tested.

Shawn Pearce explains:
Some repositories contain a lot of references (e.g. android at 866k,
rails at 31k). The reftable format provides:
- Near constant time lookup for any single reference, even when the
repository is cold and not in process or kernel cache.
- Near constant time verification if a SHA-1 is referred to by at least
one reference (for allow-tip-sha1-in-want).
- Efficient lookup of an entire namespace, such as `refs/tags/`.
- Support atomic push `O(size_of_update)` operations.
- Combine reflog storage with ref storage.
This file format spec was originally written in July, 2017 by Shawn
Pearce. Some refinements since then were made by Shawn and by Han-Wen

Some repositories in the wild have commits that record nonsense
committer timezone (e.g. rails.git); "git fast-import" learned an
option to pass these nonsense timestamps intact to allow recreating
existing repositories as-is.
* en/fast-import-looser-date:

"feature.experimental" configuration variable is to let volunteers
easily opt into a set of newer features, which use of the v2
transport protocol is now a part of.
* jn/experimental-opts-into-proto-v2:
config: let feature.experimental imply protocol.version=2
There are multiple repositories in the wild with random, invalid
timezones. Most notably is a commit from rails.git with a timezone of
"+051800"[1]. A few searches will find other repos with that same
invalid timezone as well. Further, Peff reports that GitHub relaxed
their fsck checks in August 2011 to accept any timezone value[2], and
there have been multiple reports to filter-repo about fast-import
crashing while trying to import their existing repositories since they
had timezone values such as "-7349423" and "-43455309"[3].
The existing check on timezone values inside fast-import may prove
useful for people who are crafting fast-import input by hand or with a
new script. For them, the check may help them avoid accidentally
recording invalid dates. (Note that this check is rather simplistic and
there are still several forms of invalid dates that fast-import does not
check for: dates in the future, timezone values with minutes that are
not divisible by 15, and timezone values with minutes that are 60 or
greater.) While this simple check may have some value for those users,
other users or tools will want to import existing repositories as-is.
Provide a --date-format=raw-permissive format that will not error out on
these otherwise invalid timezones so that such existing repositories can
be imported.

show-index is capable of reading any possible index file whether or not
the index is inside a repository. However, because our index files lack
metadata about the hash algorithm in use, it's not possible to
autodetect the algorithm that a particular index file is using.
In order to allow us to read index files of any algorithm, let's set up
the .git directory gently so that we default to the algorithm for the
current repository, and add an --object-format option to allow users to

fact, we have several such lists for all the various history-simplifying
options we're discussing earlier in this file.

Currently, remote-curl acts as a proxy and blindly forwards packets
between an HTTP server and fetch-pack. In the case of a stateless RPC
connection where the connection is terminated before the transaction is
complete, remote-curl will blindly forward the packets before waiting on
more input from fetch-pack. Meanwhile, fetch-pack will read the
transaction and continue reading, expecting more input to continue the
transaction. This results in a deadlock between the two processes.
This can be seen in the following command which does not terminate:
$ git -c protocol.version=2 clone https://github.com/git/git.git --shallow-since=20151012
Cloning into 'git'...
whereas the v1 version does terminate as expected:
$ git -c protocol.version=1 clone https://github.com/git/git.git --shallow-since=20151012
Cloning into 'git'...
fatal: the remote end hung up unexpectedly
Instead of blindly forwarding packets, make remote-curl insert a
response end packet after proxying the responses from the remote server
when using stateless_connect(). On the RPC client side, ensure that each
response ends as described.
A separate control packet is chosen because we need to be able to
differentiate between what the remote server sends and remote-curl's
control packets. By ensuring in the remote-curl code that a server
cannot send response end packets, we prevent a malicious server from
being able to perform a denial of service attack in which they spoof a
response end packet and cause the described deadlock to happen.

Git 2.26 used protocol v2 as its default protocol, but soon after
release, users noticed that the protocol v2 negotiation code was prone
to fail when fetching from some remotes that are far ahead of others
(such as linux-next.git versus Linus's linux.git). That has been
fixed by 0b07eecf6e (Merge branch 'jt/v2-fetch-nego-fix',
2020-05-01), but to be cautious, we are using protocol v0 as the
default in 2.27 to buy some time for any other unanticipated issues to
surface.
To that end, let's ensure that users requesting the bleeding edge
using the feature.experimental flag *do* get protocol v2. This way,
we can gain experience with a wider audience for the new protocol
version and be more confident when it is time to enable it by default
for all users in some future Git version.
Implementation note: this isn't with the rest of the
feature.experimental options in repo-settings.c because those are tied
to a repository object, whereas this code path is used for operations
like "git ls-remote" that do not require a repository.

Since 7c5c9b9c57 (commit-graph: error out on invalid commit oids in
'write --stdin-commits', 2019-08-05), the commit-graph builtin dies on
receiving non-commit OIDs as input to '--stdin-commits'.
This behavior can be cumbersome to work around in, say, the case of
piping 'git for-each-ref' to 'git commit-graph write --stdin-commits' if
the caller does not want to cull out non-commits themselves. In this
situation, it would be ideal if 'git commit-graph write' wrote the graph
containing the inputs that did pertain to commits, and silently ignored
the remainder of the input.
Some options have been proposed to the effect of '--[no-]check-oids'
which would allow callers to have the commit-graph builtin do just that.
After some discussion, it is difficult to imagine a caller who wouldn't
want to pass '--no-check-oids', suggesting that we should get rid of the
behavior of complaining about non-commit inputs altogether.
If callers do wish to retain this behavior, they can easily work around
this change by doing the following:
git for-each-ref --format='%(objectname) %(objecttype) %(*objecttype)' |
awk '
!/commit/ { print "not-a-commit:"$1 }
/commit/ { print $1 }
' |
git commit-graph write --stdin-commits
To make it so that valid OIDs that refer to non-existent objects are
indeed an error after loosening the error handling, perform an extra
lookup to make sure that object indeed exists before sending it to the
commit-graph internals.

In Documentation/technical/commit-graph-format.txt, the definition
of the BIDX chunk specifies the length is a number of 8-byte words.
During development we discovered that using 8-byte words in the
Murmur3 hash algorithm causes issues with big-endian versus little-
endian machines. Thus, the hash algorithm was adapted to work on a
byte-by-byte basis. However, this caused a change in the definition
of a "word" in bloom.h. Now, a "word" is a single byte, which allows
filters to be as small as two bytes. These length-two filters are
demonstrated in t0095-bloom.sh, and a larger filter of length 25 is
demonstrated as well.
The original point of using 8-byte words was for alignment reasons.
It also presented opportunities for extremely sparse Bloom filters
when there were a small number of changes at a commit, creating a
very low false-positive rate. However, modifying the format at this
point is unlikely to be a valuable exercise. Also, this use of
single-byte granularity does present opportunities to save space.
It is unclear if 8-byte alignment of the filters would present any
meaningful performance benefits.
Modify the format document to reflect reality.

There's an example of using your own bit of shell to act as a credential
helper, but it's not very realistic:
- It's stupid to hand out your secret password to _every_ host. In the
real world you'd use the config-matcher to limit it to a particular
host.
- We never provided a username. We can easily do that in another config
option (you can do it in the helper, too, but this is much more
readable).
- We were sending the secret even for store/erase operations. This
is OK because Git would just ignore it, but a real system would
probably be unlocking a password store, which you wouldn't want to do
more than necessary.

We give several helper config examples, but don't make clear that these
are raw values. It's up to the user to add the appropriate quoting to
put them into a config file (either by running with "git config" and
quoting against the shell, or by adding double-quotes as appropriate
within the git-config file).
Let's flesh them out as full config blocks, which makes the syntax more
clear (and makes it possible for people to just cut-and-paste them as a
starting point). I added double-quotes to any values larger than a
single word. That isn't strictly necessary in all cases, but it
sidesteps explaining the rules about exactly when you need to quote a
value.
The existing quotes can be converted to single-quotes in one instance,
and backslash-esccaped in the other. I also swapped out backticks for
our preferred $().

"git update-ref --stdin" learned a handful of new verbs to let the
user control ref update transactions more explicitly, which helps
as an ingredient to implement two-phase commit-style atomic
ref-updates across multiple repositories.
* ps/transactional-update-ref-stdin:
update-ref: implement interactive transaction handling
update-ref: read commands in a line-wise fashion
update-ref: move transaction handling into `update_refs_stdin()`
update-ref: pass end pointer instead of strbuf
update-ref: drop unused argument for `parse_refname`
update-ref: organize commands in an array
strbuf: provide function to append whole lines
git-update-ref.txt: add missing word
refs: fix segfault when aborting empty transaction
"sparse-checkout" UI improvements.
* en/sparse-checkout:
sparse-checkout: provide a new reapply subcommand
unpack-trees: failure to set SKIP_WORKTREE bits always just a warning
unpack-trees: provide warnings on sparse updates for unmerged paths too
unpack-trees: make sparse path messages sound like warnings
unpack-trees: split display_error_msgs() into two
unpack-trees: rename ERROR_* fields meant for warnings to WARNING_*
unpack-trees: move ERROR_WOULD_LOSE_SUBMODULE earlier
sparse-checkout: use improved unpack_trees porcelain messages
sparse-checkout: use new update_sparsity() function
unpack-trees: add a new update_sparsity() function
unpack-trees: pull sparse-checkout pattern reading into a new function
unpack-trees: do not mark a dirty path with SKIP_WORKTREE
unpack-trees: allow check_updates() to work on a different index
t1091: make some tests a little more defensive against failures
unpack-trees: simplify pattern_list freeing
unpack-trees: simplify verify_absent_sparse()
unpack-trees: remove unused error type
unpack-trees: fix minor typo in comment
The stash entry created by "git rebase --autosquash" to keep the
initial dirty state were discarded by mistake upon "git rebase
--quit", which has been corrected.
* dl/merge-autostash-rebase-quit-fix:
rebase: save autostash entry into stash reflog on --quit
Reading a malformed credential URL line and silently ignoring it
does not mean that we support empty lines and/or "# commented" lines
forever. We should document it to avoid confusion.
