The git-submodule(1) is inconsistent. In the synopsis, it says:
git submodule [--quiet] sync [--recursive] [--] [<path>...]
The description of the sync does not mention --recursive, and the

update and status.
The option was introduced (82f49f294c, Teach --recursive to submodule

The --recurse-submodules command line parameter has existed for some
time but it has no config file equivalent.
Following the style of the corresponding parameter for git fetch, let's
invent push.recurseSubmodules to provide a default for this
parameter. This also requires the addition of --recurse-submodules=no to
allow the configuration to be overridden on the command line when
required.
The most straightforward way to implement this appears to be to make
push use code in submodule-config in a similar way to fetch.

Add an option "--dump-aliases" which changes the default behavior of
git-send-email. This mode will simply read the alias files configured by
sendemail.aliasesfile and sendemail.aliasfiletype and dump a list of all
configured aliases, one per line. The intended use case for this option
is the bash-completion script which will use it to autocomplete aliases
on the options which take addresses.
Add some tests for the new option using various alias file formats.
A possible future extension to the alias dump format could be done by
extending the --dump-aliases to take an optional argument defining the
format to display. This has not been done in this patch as no user of
this information has been identified.

Git-merge-file is documented to return one of three exit
codes:
- zero means the merge was successful
- a negative number means an error occurred
- a positive number indicates the number of conflicts
Unfortunately, this all gets stuffed into an 8-bit return
code. Which means that if you have 256 conflicts, this wraps
to zero, and the merge appears to succeed (and commits a
blob full of conflict-marker cruft!).
This patch clamps the return value to a maximum of 127,
which we should be able to safely represent everywhere. This
also leaves 128-255 for other values. Shells (and some parts
of git) will typically represent signal death as 128 plus
the signal number. And negative values are typically coerced
to an 8-bit unsigned value (so "return -1" ends up as 255).
Technically negative returns have the same problem (e.g.,
"-256" wraps back to 0), but this is not a problem in
practice, as the only negative value we use is "-1".

Again, we do not usually process release notes with AsciiDoc, but it
is better to be consistent.
This incidentally reveals breakages left by an ancient 5e00439f
(Documentation: build html for all files in technical and howto,
2012-10-23). The index-format documentation was originally written
to be read as straight text without formatting and when the commit
forced everything in Documentation/ to go through AsciiDoc, it did
not do any adjustment--hence the double-dashes will be seen in the
resulting text that is rendered as preformatted fixed-width without
converted into em-dashes.

The synopsys text and the usage string of subcommands that read list
of things from the standard input are often shown like this:
git gostak [--distim] < <list-of-doshes>
This is problematic in a number of ways:
* The way to use these commands is more often to feed them the
output from another command, not feed them from a file.
* Manual pages outside Git, commands that operate on the data read
from the standard input, e.g "sort", "grep", "sed", etc., are not
described with such a "< redirection-from-file" in their synopsys
text. Our doing so introduces inconsistency.
* We do not insist on where the output should go, by saying
git gostak [--distim] < <list-of-doshes> > <output>
* As it is our convention to enclose placeholders inside <braket>,
the redirection operator followed by a placeholder filename
becomes very hard to read, both in the documentation and in the
help text.
Let's clean them all up, after making sure that the documentation
clearly describes the modes that take information from the standard
input and what kind of things are expected on the input.
