Document the git-hash-object --literally option added by 5ba9a93
(hash-object: add --literally option, 2014-09-11).
While here, also correct a minor typesetting oversight.

This allows "hash-object --stdin" to just hash any garbage into a
"loose object" that may not pass the standard object parsing check
or fsck, so that different kind of corrupt objects we may encounter
in the field can be imitated in our test suite. That would in turn
allow us to test features that catch these corrupt objects.
Note that "cat-file" may need to learn "--literally" option to allow
us peek into a truly broken object.

Instead of forcing callers of lower level functions write
(write_object ? HASH_WRITE_OBJECT : 0), prepare the flag to be
passed down in the callchain from the command line parser.

Most of the knobs that affect helper functions called from
cmd_hash_object() were passed to them as parameters already, and the
only effect of having them as file-scope statics was to make the
reader wonder if the parameters are hiding the file-scope global
values by accident. Adjust their initialisation and make them
function-local variables.
The only exception was no_filters hash_stdin_paths() peeked from the
file-scope global, which was converted to a parameter to the helper
function.

The API to allocate the structure to keep track of commit
decoration was cumbersome to use, inviting lazy code to
overallocate memory.
* jk/name-decoration-alloc:
log-tree: use FLEX_ARRAY in name_decoration
log-tree: make name_decoration hash static
log-tree: make add_name_decoration a public function
"git checkout -m" did not switch to another branch while carrying
the local changes forward when a path was deleted from the index.
* jn/unpack-trees-checkout-m-carry-deletion:
checkout -m: attempt merge when deletion of path was staged
unpack-trees: use 'cuddled' style for if-else cascade
unpack-trees: simplify 'all other failures' case
Fix a couple of "accumulate into a sorted list" to "accumulate and
then sort the list".
* rs/list-optim:

sha1_name: avoid quadratic list insertion in handle_one_ref
With sufficiently long refnames, fast-import could have overflown
an on-stack buffer.
* jk/fast-import-fixes:
fast-import: fix buffer overflow in dump_tags
fast-import: clean up pack_data pointer in end_packfile
After "pack-refs --prune" packed refs at the top-level, it failed
to prune them.
* jk/prune-top-level-refs-after-packing:
pack-refs: prune top-level refs like "refs/foo"
Teach a few codepaths to punt (instead of dying) when large blobs
that would not fit in core are involved in the operation.

diff: shortcut for diff'ing two binary SHA-1 objects
diff --stat: mark any file larger than core.bigfilethreshold binary
diff.c: allow to pass more flags to diff_populate_filespec
sha1_file.c: do not die failing to malloc in unpack_compressed_entry
wrapper.c: introduce gentle xmallocz that does not die()

that the cache-tree is fully populated in the index.

...
Code clean-up.

mv: no SP between function name and the first opening parenthese
mv: combine two if(s)

mv: split submodule move preparation code out
mv: flatten error handling code block
mv: mark strings for translations
Admit that keeping LIB_H up-to-date, only for those that do not use
the automatically generated dependencies, is a losing battle, and
make it conservative by making everything depend on anything.
* jk/make-simplify-dependencies:
Makefile: drop CHECK_HEADER_DEPENDENCIES code
Makefile: use `find` to determine static header dependencies
i18n: treat "make pot" as an explicitly-invoked target
We used to pass -1000 to poll(2), expecting it to also mean "no
timeout", which should be spelled as -1.
* et/spell-poll-infinite-with-minus-one-only:
upload-pack: keep poll(2)'s timeout to -1
Update git_config() users with callback functions for a very narrow
scope with calls to config-set API that lets us query a single
variable.

The prompt script checked $GIT_DIR/ref/stash file to see if there
is a stash, which was a no-no.
* jk/prompt-stash-could-be-packed:
git-prompt: do not look for refs/stash in $GIT_DIR

May need further updates to the description to explain what makes
various modes of operation to decide that the request can become a
"no-op".
* so/rebase-doc:
Documentation/git-rebase.txt: -f forces a rebase that would otherwise be a no-op
"git add x" where x that used to be a directory has become a
symbolic link to a directory misbehaved.
* rs/refresh-beyond-symlink:
read-cache: check for leading symlinks when refreshing index
Teach "git stash list -p" to show the difference between the base
commit version and the working tree version, which is in line with
what "git show" gives.
* jk/stash-list-p:
stash: default listing to working-tree diff
"git bundle create" with date-range specification were meant to
exclude tags outside the range
* lf/bundle-exclusion:
bundle: fix exclusion of annotated tags
Applying a patch not generated by Git in a subdirectory used to
check the whitespace breakage using the attributes for incorrect
paths. Also whitespace checks were performed even for paths
excluded via "git apply --exclude=<path>" mechanism.
* jc/apply-ws-prefix:
apply: omit ws check for excluded paths
apply: hoist use_patch() helper for path exclusion up
apply: use the right attribute for paths in non-Git patches
"git -c section.var command" and "git -c section.var= command"
should pass the configuration differently (the former should be
a boolean true, the latter should be an empty string).
* jk/command-line-config-empty-string:
config: teach "git -c" to recognize an empty string
We have been using NOT_{MINGW,CYGWIN} test prerequisites long
before Peff invented support for negated prerequisites e.g. !MINGW
and we still add more uses of the former. Convert them to the
latter to avoid confusion.
* jc/not-mingw-cygwin:
test prerequisites: enumerate with commas
test prerequisites: eradicate NOT_FOO
