d5ff3b4be5 Documentation: make AsciiDoc links always point to HTML files
AsciiDoc's "link" is supposed to create hyperlinks for HTML output, so
prefer a "link" to point to an HTML file instead of a text file if an HTML
version of the file is being generated. For RelNotes, keep pointing to
text files as no equivalent HTML files are generated.

If appropriate, also update the link description to not contain the linked
file's extension.

8f4f8f4579 guard against new pathspec magic in pathspec matching code
GUARD_PATHSPEC() marks pathspec-sensitive code, basically all those
that touch anything in 'struct pathspec' except fields "nr" and
"original". GUARD_PATHSPEC() is not supposed to fail. It's mainly to
help the designers catch unsupported codepaths.

87323bdace add parse_pathspec() that converts cmdline args to struct pathspec
Currently to fill a struct pathspec, we do:

   const char **paths;
   paths = get_pathspec(prefix, argv);
   ...
   init_pathspec(&pathspec, paths);

"paths" can only carry bare strings, which loses information from
command line arguments such as pathspec magic or the prefix part's
length for each argument.

parse_pathspec() is introduced to combine the two calls into one. The
plan is gradually replace all get_pathspec() and init_pathspec() with
parse_pathspec(). get_pathspec() now becomes a thin wrapper of
parse_pathspec().

parse_pathspec() allows the caller to reject the pathspec magics that
it does not support. When a new pathspec magic is introduced, we can
enable it per command after making sure that all underlying code has no
problem with the new magic.

"flags" parameter is currently unused. But it would allow callers to
pass certain instructions to parse_pathspec, for example forcing
literal pathspec when no magic is used.

With the introduction of parse_pathspec, there are now two functions
that can initialize struct pathspec: init_pathspec and
parse_pathspec. Any semantic changes in struct pathspec must be
reflected in both functions. init_pathspec() will be phased out in
favor of parse_pathspec().

6c374008b1 diff_opt: track whether flags have been set explicitly
The diff_opt infrastructure sets flags based on defaults and command
line options.  It is impossible to tell whether a flag has been set
as a default or on explicit request.  Update the structure so that
this detection is possible:

 * Add an extra "opt->touched_flags" that keeps track of all the
   fields that have been touched by DIFF_OPT_SET and DIFF_OPT_CLR.

 * You may continue setting the default values to the flags, like
   commands in the "log" family do in cmd_log_init_defaults(), but
   after you finished setting the defaults, you clear the
   touched_flags field;

 * And then you let the usual callchain call diff_opt_parse(),
   allowing the opt->flags be set or unset, while keeping track of
   which bits the user touched;

 * There is an optional callback "opt->set_default" that is called
   at the very beginning to let you inspect touched_flags and update
   opt->flags appropriately, before the remainder of the diffcore
   machinery is set up, taking the opt->flags value into account.

af04fa2a78 upload-pack: ignore 'shallow' lines with unknown obj-ids
When the client sends a 'shallow' line for an object that the server does
not have, the server currently dies with the error: "did not find object
for shallow <obj-id>".  The client may have truncated the history at
the commit by fetching shallowly from a different server, or the commit
may have been garbage collected by the server. In either case, this
unknown commit is not relevant for calculating the pack that is to be
sent and can be safely ignored, and it is not used when recomputing where
the updated history of the client is cauterised.

The documentation in technical/pack-protocol.txt has been updated to
remove the restriction that "Clients MUST NOT mention an obj-id which it
does not know exists on the server". This requirement is not realistic
because clients cannot know whether an object has been garbage collected
by the server.

0aaf62b6e0 dir.c: git-status --ignored: don't scan the work tree twice
'git-status --ignored' still scans the work tree twice to collect
untracked and ignored files, respectively.

fill_directory / read_directory already supports collecting untracked and
ignored files in a single directory scan. However, the DIR_COLLECT_IGNORED
flag to enable this has some git-add specific side-effects (e.g. it
doesn't recurse into ignored directories, so listing ignored files with
--untracked=all doesn't work).

The DIR_SHOW_IGNORED flag doesn't list untracked files and returns ignored
files in dir_struct.entries[] (instead of dir_struct.ignored[] as
DIR_COLLECT_IGNORED). DIR_SHOW_IGNORED is used all throughout git.

We don't want to break the existing API, so lets introduce a new flag
DIR_SHOW_IGNORED_TOO that lists untracked as well as ignored files similar
to DIR_COLLECT_FILES, but will recurse into sub-directories based on the
other flags as DIR_SHOW_IGNORED does.

In dir.c::read_directory_recursive, add ignored files to either
dir_struct.entries[] or dir_struct.ignored[] based on the flags. Also move
the DIR_COLLECT_IGNORED case here so that filling result lists is in a
common place.

In wt-status.c::wt_status_collect_untracked, use the new flag and read
results from dir_struct.ignored[]. Remove the extra fill_directory call.

builtin/check-ignore.c doesn't call fill_directory, setting the git-add
specific DIR_COLLECT_IGNORED flag has no effect here. Remove for clarity.

Update API documentation to reflect the changes.

Performance: with this patch, 'git-status --ignored' is typically as fast
as 'git-status'.

079b546a29 strbuf: create strbuf_humanise_bytes() to show byte sizes
Humanization of downloaded size is done in the same function as text
formatting in 'process.c'. The code cannot be reused easily elsewhere.

Separate text formatting from size simplification and make the
function public in strbuf so that it can easily be used by other
callers.

We now can use strbuf_humanise_bytes() for both downloaded size and
download speed calculation. One of the drawbacks is that speed will
now look like this when download is stalled: "0 bytes/s" instead of
"0 KiB/s".

48a8c26c62 Documentation: avoid poor-man's small caps GIT
In the earlier days, we used to spell the name of the system as GIT,
to simulate as if it were typeset with capital G and IT in small
caps.  Later we stopped doing so at around 1.6.5 days.

Let's stop doing so throughout the documentation.  The name to refer
to the whole system (and the concept it embodies) is "Git"; the
command end-users type is "git".  And document this in the coding
guideline.

2532d891a4 Merge branch 'nd/fetch-depth-is-broken'
"git fetch --depth" was broken in at least three ways.  The
resulting history was deeper than specified by one commit, it was
unclear how to wipe the shallowness of the repository with the
command, and documentation was misleading.

* nd/fetch-depth-is-broken:
  fetch: elaborate --depth action
  upload-pack: fix off-by-one depth calculation in shallow clone
  fetch: add --unshallow for turning shallow repo into complete one

ce956fc48e Merge branch 'mh/ceiling' into maint
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()

a39b15b4f6 Merge branch 'as/check-ignore'
Add a new command "git check-ignore" for debugging .gitignore
files.

The variable names may want to get cleaned up but that can be done
in-tree.

* as/check-ignore:
  clean.c, ls-files.c: respect encapsulation of exclude_list_groups
  t0008: avoid brace expansion
  add git-check-ignore sub-command
  setup.c: document get_pathspec()
  add.c: extract new die_if_path_beyond_symlink() for reuse
  add.c: extract check_path_for_gitlink() from treat_gitlinks() for reuse
  pathspec.c: rename newly public functions for clarity
  add.c: move pathspec matchers into new pathspec.c for reuse
  add.c: remove unused argument from validate_pathspec()
  dir.c: improve docs for match_pathspec() and match_pathspec_depth()
  dir.c: provide clear_directory() for reclaiming dir_struct memory
  dir.c: keep track of where patterns came from
  dir.c: use a single struct exclude_list per source of excludes

Conflicts:
	builtin/ls-files.c
	dir.c
