The command line parser learned "--end-of-options" notation; the
standard convention for scripters to have hardcoded set of options
first on the command line, and force the command to treat end-user

that would not work for commands that use "--" as a delimiter
between revs and pathspec.

3c81760bc6 userdiff: add a builtin pattern for dts files
The Linux kernel receives many patches to the devicetree files each
release. The hunk header for those patches typically show nothing,
making it difficult to figure out what node is being modified without
applying the patch or opening the file and seeking to the context. Let's
add a builtin 'dts' pattern to git so that users can get better diff
output on dts files when they use the diff=dts driver.

The regex has been constructed based on the spec at devicetree.org[1]
and with some help from Johannes Sixt.

24bc1a1292 pull, fetch: add --set-upstream option
Add the --set-upstream option to git pull/fetch
which lets the user set the upstream configuration
(branch.<current-branch-name>.merge and
branch.<current-branch-name>.remote) for the current branch.

A typical use-case is:

    git clone http://example.com/my-public-fork
    git remote add main http://example.com/project-main-repo
    git pull --set-upstream main master

or, instead of the last line:

    git fetch --set-upstream main master
    git merge # or git rebase

This is mostly equivalent to cloning project-main-repo (which sets
upsteam) and then "git remote add" my-public-fork, but may feel more
natural for people using a hosting system which allows forking from
the web UI.

This functionality is analog to "git push --set-upstream".

64e5e1fba1 diff: 'diff.indentHeuristic' is no longer experimental
The indent heuristic started out as experimental, but it's now our
default diff heuristic since 33de716387 (diff: enable indent heuristic
by default, 2017-05-08).  Alas, that commit didn't update the
documentation, and the description of the 'diff.indentHeuristic'
configuration variable still implies that it's experimental and not
the default.

Update the description of 'diff.indentHeuristic' to make it clear that
it's the default diff heuristic.

The description of the related '--indent-heuristic' option has already
been updated in bab76141da (diff: --indent-heuristic is no
longer experimental, 2017-10-29).

aaf633c2ad repo-settings: create feature.experimental setting
The 'feature.experimental' setting includes config options that are
not committed to become defaults, but could use additional testing.

Update the following config settings to take new defaults, and to
use the repo_settings struct if not already using them:

* 'pack.useSparse=true'

* 'fetch.negotiationAlgorithm=skipping'

In the case of fetch.negotiationAlgorithm, the existing logic
would load the config option only when about to use the setting,
so had a die() statement on an unknown string value. This is
removed as now the config is parsed under prepare_repo_settings().
In general, this die() is probably misplaced and not valuable.
A test was removed that checked this die() statement executed.

The feature.manyFiles setting is suitable for repos with many
files in the working directory. By setting index.version=4 and
core.untrackedCache=true, commands such as 'git status' should
improve.

While adding this setting, modify the index version precedence
tests to check how this setting overrides the default for
index.version is unset.

31b1de6a09 commit-graph: turn on commit-graph by default
The commit-graph feature has seen a lot of activity in the past
year or so since it was introduced. The feature is a critical
performance enhancement for medium- to large-sized repos, and
does not significantly hurt small repos.

Change the defaults for core.commitGraph and gc.writeCommitGraph
to true so users benefit from this feature by default.

There are several places in the test suite where the environment
variable GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH is disabled to avoid reading a
commit-graph, if it exists. The config option overrides the
environment, so swap these. Some GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH assignments
remain, and those are to avoid writing a commit-graph when a new
commit is created.

d1387d3895 git-fast-import.txt: clarify that multiple merge commits are allowed
The grammar for commits used a '?' rather than a '*' on the `merge`
directive line, despite the fact that the code allows multiple `merge`
directives in order to support n-way merges.  In fact, elsewhere in
git-fast-import.txt there is an explicit declaration that "an unlimited
number of `merge` commands per commit are permitted by fast-import".
Fix the grammar to match the intent and implementation.

24966cd982 doc: fix repeated words
Inspired by 21416f0a07 ("restore: fix typo in docs", 2019-08-03), I ran
"git grep -E '(\b[a-zA-Z]+) \1\b' -- Documentation/" to find other cases
where words were duplicated, e.g. "the the", and in most cases removed
one of the repeated words.

There were many false positives by this grep command, including
deliberate repeated words like "really really" or valid uses of "that
that" which I left alone, of course.

I also did not correct any of the legitimate, accidentally repeated
words in old RelNotes.

6d16922798 doc: typo: s/can not/cannot/ and s/is does/does/
"Can not" suggests one has the option to not do something, whereas
"cannot" more strongly suggests something is disallowed or impossible.

Noticed "can not", mistakenly used instead of "cannot" in git help
glossary, then ran git grep 'can not' and found many other instances.
Only files in the Documentation folder were modified.

'Can not' also occurs in some source code comments and some test
assertion messages, and there is an error message and translation "can
not move directory into itself" which I may fix and submit separately
from the documentation change.

Also noticed and fixed "is does" in git help fetch, but there are no
other occurrences of that typo according to git grep.

All but one of the callers of make_traverse_path() allocate a new heap
buffer to store the path. Let's give them an easy way to write to a
strbuf, which saves them from computing the length themselves (which is
especially tricky when they want to add to the path). It will also make
it easier for us to change the make_traverse_path() interface in a

a45f531471 RelNotes/2.23.0: fix a few typos and other minor issues
Fix the spelling of the new "--no-show-forced-updates" option that "git
fetch/pull" learned. Similarly, spell "--function-context" correctly and
fix a few typos, grammos and minor mistakes.

7ed20f596b log: flip the --mailmap default unconditionally
It turns out that being cautious to warn against upcoming default
change was an unpopular behaviour, and such a care can easily be
defeated by distro packagers to render it ineffective anyway.

Just flip the default, with only a mention in the release notes.

947208b725 setup_traverse_info(): stop copying oid
We assume that if setup_traverse_info() is passed a non-empty "base"
string, that string is pointing into a tree object and we can read the
object oid by skipping past the trailing NUL.

As it turns out, this is not true for either of the two calls, and we
may end up reading garbage bytes:

  1. In git-merge-tree, our base string is either empty (in which case
     we'd never run this code), or it comes from our traverse_path()
     helper. The latter overallocates a buffer by the_hash_algo->rawsz
     bytes, but then fills it with only make_traverse_path(), leaving
     those extra bytes uninitialized (but part of a legitimate heap
     buffer).

  2. In unpack_trees(), we pass o->prefix, which is some arbitrary
     string from the caller. In "git read-tree --prefix=foo", for
     instance, it will point to the command-line parameter, and we'll
     read 20 bytes past the end of the string.

Interestingly, tools like ASan do not detect (2) because the process
argv is part of a big pre-allocated buffer. So we're reading trash, but
it's trash that's probably part of the next argument, or the
environment.

You can convince it to fail by putting something like this at the
beginning of common-main.c's main() function:

  {
	int i;
	for (i = 0; i < argc; i++)
		argv[i] = xstrdup_or_null(argv[i]);
  }

That puts the arguments into their own heap buffers, so running:

  make SANITIZE=address test

will find problems when "read-tree --prefix" is used (e.g., in t3030).

Doubly interesting, even with the hackery above, this does not fail
prior to ea82b2a085 (tree-walk: store object_id in a separate member,
2019-01-15). That commit switched setup_traverse_info() to actually
copying the hash, rather than simply pointing to it. That pointer was
always pointing to garbage memory, but that commit started actually
dereferencing the bytes, which is what triggers ASan.

That also implies that nobody actually cares about reading these oid
bytes anyway (or at least no path covered by our tests). And manual
inspection of the code backs that up (I'll follow this patch with some
cleanups that show definitively this is the case, but they're quite
invasive, so it's worth doing this fix on its own).

So let's drop the bogus hashcpy(), along with the confusing oversizing
in merge-tree.

e145d99347 rebase -r: support merge strategies other than recursive
We already support merge strategies in the sequencer, but only for
`pick` commands.

With this commit, we now also support them in `merge` commands. The
approach is simple: if any merge strategy option is specified, or if any
merge strategy other than `recursive` is specified, we simply spawn the
`git merge` command. Otherwise, we handle the merge in-process just as
before.
