When an Administrator creates a file or directory, the created
file/directory is owned not by the Administrator SID, but by the
_Administrators Group_ SID. The reason is that users with administrator
privileges usually run in unprivileged ("non-elevated") mode, and their
user SID does not change when running in elevated mode.
This is is relevant e.g. when running a GitHub workflow on a build
agent, which runs in elevated mode: cloning a Git repository in a script
step will cause the worktree to be owned by the Administrators Group
SID, for example.
Let's handle this case as following: if the current user is an
administrator, Git should consider a worktree owned by the
Administrators Group as if it were owned by said user.

When verifying the ownership of the Git directory, we sometimes would
like to say a bit more about it, e.g. when using a platform-dependent
code path (think: Windows has the permission model that is so different
from Unix'), but only when it is a appropriate to actually say
something.
To allow for that, collect that information and hand it back to the
caller (whose responsibility it is to show it or not).
Note: We do not actually fill in any platform-dependent information yet,
this commit just adds the infrastructure to be able to do so.

Fix a logic error in a082345372 (hook API: fix v2.36.0 regression:
hooks should be connected to a TTY, 2022-06-07). When it started using
the "ungroup" API added in fd3aaf53f7 (run-command: add an "ungroup"
option to run_process_parallel(), 2022-06-07) it should have made the
same sort of change that fd3aaf53f7 itself made in
"t/helper/test-run-command.c".
The correct way to emit this "Couldn't start" output with "ungroup"
would be:
fprintf(stderr, _("Couldn't start hook '%s'\n"), hook_path);
But we should instead remove the emitting of this output. As the added
test shows we already emit output when we can't run the child. The
"cannot run" output here is emitted by run-command.c's
child_err_spew().
So the addition of the "Couldn't start hook" output here in
96e7225b31 (hook: add 'run' subcommand, 2021-12-22) was always
redundant. For the pre-commit hook we'll now emit exactly the same
output as we did before f443246b9f (commit: convert
{pre-commit,prepare-commit-msg} hook to hook.h, 2021-12-22) (and
likewise for others).
We could at this point add this to the pick_next_hook() callbacks in
hook.c:
assert(!out);
assert(!*pp_task_cb);
And this to notify_start_failure() and notify_hook_finished() (in the
latter case the parameter is called "pp_task_cp"):
assert(!out);
assert(!pp_task_cb);
But let's leave any such instrumentation for some eventual cleanup of
the "ungroup" API.

Create a new "File formats, protocols and other developer interfaces"
section in the main "git help git" manual page and start moving the
documentation that now lives in "Documentation/technical/*.git" over
to it. This complements the newly added and adjacent "Repository,
command and file interfaces" section.
This makes the technical documentation more accessible and
discoverable. Before this we wouldn't install it by default, and had
no ability to build man page versions of them. The links to them from
our existing documentation link to the generated HTML version of these
docs.
So let's start moving those over, starting with just the
"bundle-format.txt" documentation added in 7378ec90e1 (doc: describe
Git bundle format, 2020-02-07). We'll now have a new
gitformat-bundle(5) man page. Subsequent commits will move more git
internal format documentation over.

Create a new "Repository, command and file interfaces" section in the
main "git help git" manual page. Move things that belong under this
new criteria from the generic "Guides" section.
The "Guides" section was added in f442f28a81 (git.txt: add list of
guides, 2020-08-05). It makes sense to have e.g. "giteveryday(7)" and
"gitfaq(7)" listed under "Guides".
But placing e.g. "gitignore(5)" in it is stretching the meaning of
what a "guide" is, ideally that section should list things similar to
"giteveryday(7)" and "gitcore-tutorial(7)".
An alternate name that was considered for this new section was "User
formats", for consistency with the nomenclature used for man section 5
in general. My man(1) lists it as "File formats and conventions,
e.g. /etc/passwd".
So calling this "git help --formats" or "git help --user-formats"
would make sense for e.g. gitignore(5), but would be stretching it
somewhat for githooks(5), and would seem really suspect for the likes
of gitcli(7).
Let's instead pick a name that's closer to the generic term "User
interface", which is really what this documentation discusses: General
user-interface documentation that doesn't obviously belong elsewhere.

Change the behavior of the "git" prefix stripping for CAT_guide so
that we don't try to strip the "git-" prefix in that case. We should
be stripping either "git" or "git-" depending on the category. This
change makes it easier to add extra "category" conditions in
subsequent commits.
Before this we'd in principle strip a "git-" prefix from a "guide" in
command-list.txt, in practice we have no such entry there. As we don't
have any entry that looks like "git-foo" in command-list.txt this
changes nothing in practice, but it makes the intent of the code
clearer. In that hypothetical case we'd now strip it down to "-foo",
not "foo".
When this code was added in cfb22a02ab (help: use command-list.h for
common command list, 2018-05-10) the only entries in command-list.txt
that didn't begin with "git-" were "gitweb" and "gitk".
Then when the "guides" special-case was added in 1b81d8cb19 (help:
use command-list.txt for the source of guides, 2018-05-20) we had the
various "git" (not "git-") prefixed "guide" entries, which the
"CAT_guide" case handles.

Refactor the drop_prefix() function in in help.c to make it easier to
strip prefixes from categories that aren't "CAT_guide". There are no
functional changes here, by doing this we make a subsequent functional
change's diff smaller.
As before we first try to strip "git-" unconditionally, if that works
we'll return the stripped string. Then we'll strip "git" if the
command is in "CAT_guide".
This means that we'd in principle strip "git-foo" down to "foo" if
it's in CAT_guide. That doesn't make much sense, and we don't have
such an entry in command-list.txt, but let's preserve that behavior
for now.
While we're at it remove a stray newline that had been added after the

When attempting to merge in a superproject with conflicting submodule
pointers that cannot be fast-forwarded or trivially resolved, the merge
fails and Git prints an error message that accurately describes the
failure, but does not provide steps for the user to resolve the error.
Git is left in a conflicted state, which requires the user to:
1. merge submodules or update submodules to an already existing
commit that reflects the merge
2. add submodules changes to the superproject
3. finish merging superproject
These steps are non-obvious for newer submodule users to figure out
based on the error message and neither `git submodule status` nor `git
status` provide any useful pointers.
Update error message to provide steps to resolve submodule merge
conflict. Future work could involve adding an advice flag to the
message. Although the message is long, it also has the id of the
submodule commit that needs to be merged, which could be useful
information for the user.
Additionally, 5 merge failures that resulted in an early return have
been updated to reflect the status of the merge.
1. Null merge base (null o): CONFLICT_SUBMODULE_NULL_MERGE_BASE added
as a new conflict type and will print updated error message.
2. Null merge side a (null a): BUG(). See [1] for discussion
3. Null merge side b (null b): BUG(). See [1] for discussion
4. Submodule not checked out: added NEEDSWORK bit
5. Submodule commits not present: added NEEDSWORK bit
The errors with a NEEDSWORK bit deserve a more detailed explanation of
how to resolve them. See [2] for more context.
