The '--done' option to git-fast-import is documented twice in its manual
page. Combine the best bits of each description, keeping the location
of the instance that was added first.

Deal with a situation where .config/git is a file and we notice
.config/git/config is not readable due to ENOTDIR, not ENOENT.

helper interface.

An element on GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES list that does not name the
real path to a directory (i.e. a symbolic link) could have caused
the GIT_DIR discovery logic to escape the ceiling.
* mh/ceiling:
string_list_longest_prefix(): remove function
setup_git_directory_gently_1(): resolve symlinks in ceiling paths
longest_ancestor_length(): require prefix list entries to be normalized
longest_ancestor_length(): take a string_list argument for prefixes
longest_ancestor_length(): use string_list_split()
Introduce new function real_path_if_valid()
real_path_internal(): add comment explaining use of cwd
Introduce new static function real_path_internal()
Not necessarily every bundle file can be cloned from. Only the ones
that do not need prerequisites can.
When 1d52b02 (Documentation: minor grammatical fixes and rewording
in git-bundle.txt, 2009-03-22) reworded this paragraph, it lost a
critical hint to tell readers why this particular bundle can be
cloned from. Resurrect it.

Because the bundle created in the example does not record HEAD, "git
clone" will not check out the files to the working tree:
$ git clone pr.bundle q/
Cloning into 'q'...
Receiving objects: 100% (619/619), 13.52 MiB | 18.74 MiB/s, done.
Resolving deltas: 100% (413/413), done.
warning: remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout.
Avoid alarming the readers by adding "-b master" to the example. A
better fix may be to arrange the bundle created in the earlier step
to record HEAD, so that it can be cloned without this workaround.

Document that when using git svn, one should usually either use the
directory structure options to import branches as branches, or only
import one subdirectory. The default behaviour of cloning all branches
and tags as subdirectories in the working copy is usually not what the
user wants.

git svn sometimes creates branches with an at-sign in the name
(branchname@revision). These branches confuse many users and it is a FAQ
why they are created. Document when git svn creates them.

In the distant past, the order things were documented was
'Invocation', 'Commands', 'Capabilities', ...
Then it was decided that before giving a list of Commands, there
should be an overall description of the 'Input format', which was
a wise decision. However, this description was put as the very
first thing, with the rationale that any implementor would want
to know that first.
However, it seems an implementor would actually first need to
know how the remote helper will be invoked, so moving
'Invocation' to the front again seems logical. Moreover, we now
don't switch from discussing the input format to the invocation
style and then back to input related stuff.

"git diff <blob> <blob>" was not documented and was only hinted as
an extension to "git diff <commit> <commit> -- <pathspec>", but
comparison between two blobs are more special than that. It does
