Various subcommands of "git config" that takes value_regex
learn the "--literal-value" option to take the value_regex option
as a literal string.

"git add -i" failed to honor custom colors configured to show
patches, which has been corrected.
* js/add-i-color-fix:
add -i: verify in the tests that colors can be overridden
add -p: prefer color.diff.context over color.diff.plain
add -i (Perl version): color header to match the C version
add -i (built-in): use the same indentation as the Perl version
add -p (built-in): do not color the progress indicator separately
add -i (built-in): use correct names to load color.diff.* config
add -i (built-in): prevent the `reset` "color" from being configured
add -i: use `reset_color` consistently

add -i (built-in): send error messages to stderr
add -i (built-in): do show an error message for incorrect inputs
An earlier attempt to fix "git fetch --recurse-submodules" broke
another use case; revert it until a better fix is found.
* pk/subsub-fetch-fix:
Revert "submodules: fix of regression on fetching of non-init subsub-repo"
"git fetch" that is killed may leave a pack-objects process behind,
still computing to find a good compression, wasting cycles. This
has been corrected.
* jk/stop-pack-objects-when-fetch-is-killed:
upload-pack: kill pack-objects helper on signal or exit
"git push" that is killed may leave a pack-objects process behind,

has been corrected.

Simplify the logic to deal with a repack operation that ended up
creating the same packfile.
* tb/repack-simplify:
builtin/repack.c: don't move existing packs out of the way
builtin/repack.c: keep track of what pack-objects wrote
repack: make "exts" array available outside cmd_repack()
"git pull --rebase --recurse-submodules" checked for local changes
in a wrong range and failed to run correctly when it should.
* pb/pull-rebase-recurse-submodules:
pull: check for local submodule modifications with the right range
t5572: describe '--rebase' tests a little more
t5572: add notes on a peculiar test

"git-parse-remote" shell script library outlived its usefulness.
* ab/retire-parse-remote:
submodule: fix fetch_in_submodule logic
parse-remote: remove this now-unused library
submodule: remove sh function in favor of helper
submodule: use "fetch" logic instead of custom remote discovery
This reverts commit 1b7ac4e6d4d490b224f5206af7418ed74e490608; in

Ralf Thielow reports that "git fetch" with submodule.recurse set can
result in a bogus and infinitely recursive fetching of the same
submodule.
We normally get the list of builtin commands by expanding BUILTIN_OBJS.
But for commands which are embedded inside another's source file (e.g.,
cmd_show() in builtin/log.c), the Makefile needs to be told explicitly
about them.
Since cmd_maintenance() is inside buitin/gc.c, it should be listed
explicitly in the BUILT_INS list in the Makefile. Not doing so isn't
_too_ tragic, as it simply means we will not make a git-maintenance
symlink in libexec/git-core. Since we encourage people to use the "git
foo" form, even in scripts which have put libexec into their PATH,
nobody seems to have noticed.

A test marked with EXPENSIVE creates two 2.5GB files and adds them to
the repository. This takes 194s to run on my machine, versus 2s when the
EXPENSIVE prereq isn't set. We can trim this down a bit by doing two
things:
- use "git commit --quiet" to avoid spending time generating a diff
summary (this actually only helps for the second commit, but I've
added it here to both for consistency). This shaves off 8s.
- set core.compression to 0. We know these files are full of random
bytes, and so won't compress (that's the point of the test!).
Spending cycles on zlib is pointless. This shaves off 122s.
After this, my total time to run the script is 64s. That won't help
normal runs without GIT_TEST_LONG set, of course, but it's easy enough
to do.

We spawn an external pack-objects process to actually send objects to
the remote side. If we are killed by a signal during this process, then
pack-objects may continue to run. As soon as it starts producing output
for the pack, it will see a failure writing to upload-pack and exit
itself. But before then, it may do significant work traversing the
object graph, compressing deltas, etc, which will all be pointless. So
let's make sure to kill as soon as we know that the caller will not read
the result.
There's no test here, since it's inherently racy, but here's an easy
reproduction is on a large-ish repo like linux.git:
- make sure you don't have pack bitmaps (since they make the enumerating
phase go quickly). For linux.git it takes ~30s or so to walk the
whole graph on my machine.
- run "git clone --no-local -q . dst"; the "-q" is important because
if pack-objects is writing progress to upload-pack (to get
multiplexed over the sideband to the client), then it will notice
pretty quickly the failure to write to stderr
- kill the client-side clone process in another terminal (don't use
^C, as that will send SIGINT to all of the processes)
- run "ps au | grep git" or similar to observe upload-pack dying
within 5 seconds (it will send a keepalive that will notice the
client has gone away)
- but you'll still see pack-objects consuming 100% CPU (and 1GB+ of
RAM) during the traversal and delta compression phases. It will exit
as soon as it starts to write the pack (when it will notice that
upload-pack went away).
With this patch, pack-objects exits as soon as upload-pack does.

When a repository's leading directories contain regex metacharacters,
the config calls for 'git maintenance register' and 'git maintenance
unregister' are not careful enough. Use the new --fixed-value option
to direct the config machinery to use exact string matches. This is a
more robust option than escaping these arguments in a piecemeal fashion.
For the test, require that we are not running on Windows since the '+'
and '*' characters are not allowed on that filesystem.

something other than a regular expression (worse, it just says
"POSIX regexp", which usually means BRE but the regexp the command
takes is ERE). Also, it needs to be documented that the '!' prefix
to negate the match, which is only mentioned in this part of the
document, works only with regexp and not with the --fixed-value.
