As a verb, 'setup' is spelled 'set up'. “diff commands such as

and deep are special non-boolean values for format.thread rather
than boolean values with some other name.

In commit 56752391 (Make "git gc" pack all refs by default,
2007-05-24), 'git gc' was changed to run pack-refs by default
Versions before v1.5.1.2 cannot clone repos with packed refs over
http, and versions before v1.4.4 cannot handled packed refs at
all, but more recent git should have no problems. Try to make
this more clear in the git-config manual.
The analagous passage in git-gc.txt was updated already with
commit fe2128a (Change git-gc documentation to reflect
gc.packrefs implementation., 2008-01-09).

git-rm doc: Describe how to sync index & work tree
git-add/rm doc: Consistently back-quote
Documentation: 'git add -A' can remove files
Newcomers to git that want to remove from the index only the
files that have disappeared from the working tree will probably
look for a way to do that in the documentation for 'git rm'.
Therefore, describe how that can be done (even though it involves
other commands than 'git rm'). Based on a suggestion by Junio,
but re-arranged and rewritten to better fit into the style of
command reference.
While at it, change a single occurrence of "work tree" to "working
tree" for consistency.

fast-import: Document author/committer/tagger name is optional
SubmittingPatches: hints to know the status of a submitted patch.
The fast-import parser does not validate that the author, committer
or tagger name component contains both a name and an email address.
Therefore the name component has always been optional. Correct the
documentation to match the implementation.

The Gitosis single-account Git/ssh hosting system runs git commands
through git-shell after confirming that the connecting user is
authorized to access the requested repository. This works well for
upload-pack and receive-pack, which take a repository argument through
git-shell. This doesn't work so well for `cvs server', which is passed
through literally, with no arguments. Allowing arguments risks
sneaking in `--export-all', so that restriction should be maintained.
Despite that, passing a repository root is necessary for per-user
access control by the hosting software, and passing a base path
improves usability without weakening security. Thus, git-cvsserver
needs to come up with these values at runtime by some other
means. Since git-shell preserves the environment for other purposes,
the environment can carry these arguments as well.
Thus, modify git-cvsserver to read $GIT_CVSSERVER_{BASE_PATH,ROOT} in
the absence of equivalent command line arguments.

Refspecs without a source side have been reported as confusing by many.
As an alternative, this adds support for commands like:
git push origin --delete somebranch
git push origin --delete tag sometag
Specifically, --delete will prepend a colon to all colon-less refspecs
given on the command line, and will refuse to accept refspecs with
colons to prevent undue confusion.

t7102: make the test fail if one of its check fails
Documentation: always respect core.worktree if set
Back when the feature to use different HTTP authentication methods was
originally written, it needed an extra HTTP request for everything when
the feature was in effect, because we didn't reuse curl sessions.
However, b8ac923 (Add an option for using any HTTP authentication scheme,
not only basic, 2009-11-27) builds on top of an updated codebase that does
reuse curl sessions; there is no need to manually avoid the extra overhead
by making this configurable anymore.

The value of core.worktree in a ".git/config" is honored even when it
differs from the directory that has the ".git" directory as its
subdirectory. This is likely to be a misconfiguration, so warn users
about it. Also, drop the part of the documentation that incorrectly
claimed that we ignore such a misconfigured value.

The current documentation fails to mention that 'git add -A/--all' can
remove files as well as add them, and it also does not say anything about
filepatterns (whether they are allowed, mandatory, or optional). It is
also not clear what the similarities and differences to the -u option are.
Update the intro paragraph (as suggested by Junio, with some minor edits)
to make it clear that 'git add' is able to delete and to also cover the -p
option.
Reword the description of -u to make it clearer (based on Björn
Steinbrink's suggestion).
Simplify the description of -A by saying "Like -u" and then describe the
differences (based on the suggestions by Björn Steinbrink and Junio).
