When illustrating how to normalize the line endings, the
documentation in gitattributes tells the user to `rm .git/index`.
This is incorrect for two reasons:
- Users shouldn't be instructed to mess around with the internal
implementation of Git using raw file system tools like `rm`.
- Within a submodule or an additional working tree `.git` is just a
file containing a `gitdir: <path>` pointer into the real `.git`
directory. Therefore `rm .git/index` does not work.
The purpose of the `rm .git/index` instruction is to remove all entries
from the index without touching the working tree. The way to do this
with Git is to use `read-tree --empty`.

Some submodule tests do some setup outside of a test_expect
block. This is bad because we won't actually check the
outcome of those commands. But it's doubly so because "git
add submodule" now produces a warning to stderr, which is
not suppressed by the test scripts in non-verbose mode.
This patch does the minimal to fix the annoying warnings.
All three of these scripts could use more cleanup of related
setup.

It's an easy mistake to add a repository inside another
repository, like:
git clone $url
git add .
The resulting entry is a gitlink, but there's no matching
.gitmodules entry. Trying to use "submodule init" (or clone
with --recursive) doesn't do anything useful. Prior to
v2.13, such an entry caused git-submodule to barf entirely.
In v2.13, the entry is considered "inactive" and quietly
ignored. Either way, no clone of your repository can do
anything useful with the gitlink without the user manually
adding the submodule config.
In most cases, the user probably meant to either add a real
submodule, or they forgot to put the embedded repository in
their .gitignore file.
Let's issue a warning when we see this case. There are a few
things to note:
- the warning will go in the git-add porcelain; anybody
wanting to do low-level manipulation of the index is
welcome to create whatever funny states they want.
- we detect the case by looking for a newly added gitlink;
updates via "git add submodule" are perfectly reasonable,
and this avoids us having to investigate .gitmodules
entirely
- there's a command-line option to suppress the warning.
This is needed for git-submodule itself (which adds the
entry before adding any submodule config), but also
provides a mechanism for other scripts doing
submodule-like things.
We could make this a hard error instead of a warning.
However, we do add lots of sub-repos in our test suite. It's
not _wrong_ to do so. It just creates a state where users
may be surprised. Pointing them in the right direction with
a gentle hint is probably the best option.
There is a config knob that can disable the (long) hint. But
I intentionally omitted a config knob to disable the warning
entirely. Whether the warning is sensible or not is
generally about context, not about the user's preferences.
If there's a tool or workflow that adds gitlinks without
matching .gitmodules, it should probably be taught about the
new command-line option, rather than blanket-disabling the
warning.

Our code often opens a path to an optional file, to work on its
contents when we can successfully open it. We can ignore a failure
to open if such an optional file does not exist, but we do want to
report a failure in opening for other reasons (e.g. we got an I/O
error, or the file is there, but we lack the permission to open).
The exact errors we need to ignore are ENOENT (obviously) and
ENOTDIR (less obvious). Instead of repeating comparison of errno
with these two constants, introduce a helper function to do so.

Many open source projects use github.com for their contribution process.
Although we mirror the Git core repository to github.com [1] we do not
use any other github.com service. This is unknown/unexpected to a
number of (potential) contributors and consequently they create Pull
Requests against our mirror with their contributions. These Pull
Requests become stale. This is frustrating to them as they think we
ignore them and it is also unsatisfactory for us as we miss potential
code improvements and/or new contributors.
GitHub contribution guidelines and a GitHub Pull Request template that
is visible to every Pull Request creator can be configured with special
files in a Git repository [2]. Let's make use of this!

The `git stash push` command recently gained the ability to get a
pathspec as its argument to only stash matching files. Calling this
command from a subdirectory does not work, though, as one of the first
things we do is changing to the top level directory without keeping
track of the prefix from which the command is being run.
Fix the shortcoming by storing the prefix previous to the call to
`cd_to_toplevel` and then subsequently using `git rev-parse --prefix` to
correctly resolve the pathspec. Add a test to catch future breakage of
this usecase.

Add a test for the case when only one parameter is passed to '-m'
(move/rename) option.
For example - if 'git branch -m bbb' is run while checked out on aaa
branch, it should rename the currently checked out branch to bbb.
There was no test for this particular case with only one parameter
for -m option. However, there's one similar test case for -M option.
Add test for making sure HEAD points to the bbb (new branch name). Also
add a test for making sure the reflog that is moved to 'bbb' retains
entries created for the currently checked out branch. Note that since
the topmost entry on reflog for bbb will be about branch creation, we
compare bbb@{1} (instead of bbb@{0}) with aaa@{0} to make sure the
reflog for bbb retains entries from aaa.

The parsing of '--early-output' with or without its optional integer
argument allowed bogus options like '--early-output-foobarbaz' to slip
through and be ignored.
Fix it by parsing '--early-output' in the same way as other options
with an optional argument are parsed. Furthermore, use strtoul_ui()
to parse the optional integer argument and to refuse negative numbers.
While at it, use skip_prefix() instead of starts_with() and magic
numbers.
