The output of `git mergetool --tool-help` and `git difftool --tool-help`
only showed the `alias` of each available merge/diff tool.
It is not always obvious what tool these `aliases` end up using (ex:
`opendiff` runs `FileMerge` and `bc` runs `Beyond Compare`).
This commit adds a short description to each of them to help the user
identify the `alias` they want.

Running 'git {merge,diff}tool --tool-help' now also prints usage
information about the vimdiff tool (and its variants) instead of just
its name.
Two new functions ('diff_cmd_help()' and 'merge_cmd_help()') have been
added to the set of functions that each merge tool (ie. scripts found
inside "mergetools/") can overwrite to provided tool specific
information.
Right now, only 'mergetools/vimdiff' implements these functions, but
other tools are encouraged to do so in the future, specially if they
take configuration options not explained anywhere else (as it is the
case with the 'vimdiff' tool and the new 'layout' option)
Note that the function 'show_tool_names', used in the implementation of
'git mergetool --tool-help', is also used in Documentation/Makefile to
generate the list of allowed values for the configuration variables
'{diff,merge}.{gui,}tool'. Adjust the rule so its output is an Asciidoc
"description list" instead of a plain list, with the tool name as the
item and the newly added tool description as the description.
In addition, a section has been added to
"Documentation/git-mergetool.txt" to explain the new "layout"
configuration option with examples.

When running 'git mergetool -t vimdiff', a new configuration option
('mergetool.vimdiff.layout') can now be used to select how the user
wants the different windows, tabs and buffers to be displayed.
If the option is not provided, the layout will be the same one that was
being used before this commit (ie. two rows with LOCAL, BASE and COMMIT
in the top one and MERGED in the bottom one).
The 'vimdiff' variants ('vimdiff{1,2,3}') still work but, because they
represented nothing else than different layouts, are now internally
implemented as a subcase of 'vimdiff' with the corresponding
pre-configured 'layout'.
Again, if you don't set "mergetool.vimdiff.layout" everything will work
the same as before *but* the arguments used to call {n,g,}vim will be
others (even if you don't/shouldn't notice it):
- git mergetool -t vimdiff
> Before this commit:
{n,g,}vim -f -d -c '4wincmd w | wincmd J' $LOCAL $BASE $REMOTE $MERGED
> After this commit:
{n,g,}vim -f -c "echo | split | vertical split | 1b | wincmd l | vertical split | 2b | wincmd l | 3b | wincmd j | 4b | tabdo windo diffthis" -c "tabfirst" $LOCAL $BASE $REMOTE $MERGED

Despite being different, I have manually verified that they generate the same

unpack-trees: fix accidental loss of user changes
t1011: add testcase demonstrating accidental loss of user modifications
Users can create a new repository using 'git clone <bundle-file>'. The
new "@filter" capability for bundles means that we can generate a bundle
that does not contain all reachable objects, even if the header has no
negative commit OIDs.
It is feasible to think that we could make a filtered bundle work with
the command
git clone --filter=$filter --bare <bundle-file>
or possibly replacing --bare with --no-checkout. However, this requires
having some repository-global config that specifies the specified object
filter and notifies Git about the existence of promisor pack-files.
Without a remote, that is currently impossible.
As a stop-gap, parse the bundle header during 'git clone' and die() with
a helpful error message instead of the current behavior of failing due
to "missing objects".
Most of the existing logic for handling bundle clones actually happens
in fetch-pack.c, but that logic is the same as if the user specified
'git fetch <bundle>', so we want to avoid failing to fetch a filtered
bundle when in an existing repository that has the proper config set up
for at least one remote.
Carefully comment around the test that this is not the desired long-term
behavior of 'git clone' in this case, but instead that we need to do
more work before that is possible.

In order to have a valid pack-file after unbundling a bundle that has
the 'filter' capability, we need to generate a .promisor file. The
bundle does not promise _where_ the objects can be found, but we can
expect that these bundles will be unbundled in repositories with
appropriate promisor remotes that can find those missing objects.
Use the 'git index-pack --promisor=<message>' option to create this
.promisor file. Add "from-bundle" as the message to help anyone diagnose
issues with these promisor packs.

A previous change allowed Git to parse bundles with the 'filter'
capability. Now, teach Git to create bundles with this option.
Some rearranging of code is required to get the option parsing in the
correct spot. There are now two reasons why we might need capabilities
(a new hash algorithm or an object filter) so that is pulled out into a
place where we can check both at the same time.
The --filter option is parsed as part of setup_revisions(), but it
expected the --objects flag, too. That flag is somewhat implied by 'git
bundle' because it creates a pack-file walking objects, but there is
also a walk that walks the revision range expecting only commits. Make
this parsing work by setting 'revs.tree_objects' and 'revs.blob_objects'
before the call to setup_revisions().

Now that 'struct rev_info' has a 'filter' member and most consumers of
object filtering are using that member instead of an external struct,
move the parsing of the '--filter' option out of builtin/rev-list.c and
into revision.c.
This use within handle_revision_pseudo_opt() allows us to find the
option within setup_revisions() if the arguments are passed directly. In
the case of a command such as 'git blame', the arguments are first
scanned and checked with parse_revision_opt(), which complains about the
option, so 'git blame --filter=blob:none <file>' does not become valid
with this change.
Some commands, such as 'git diff' gain this option without having it
make an effect. And 'git diff --objects' was already possible, but does
not actually make sense in that builtin.
The key addition that is coming is 'git bundle create --filter=<X>' so
we can create bundles containing promisor packs. More work is required
to make them fully functional, but that will follow.

The v3 bundle format has capabilities, allowing newer versions of Git to
create bundles with newer features. Older versions that do not
understand these new capabilities will fail with a helpful warning.
Create a new capability allowing Git to understand that the contained
pack-file is filtered according to some object filter. Typically, this
filter will be "blob:none" for a blobless partial clone.
This change teaches Git to parse this capability, place its value in the
bundle header, and demonstrate this understanding by adding a message to
'git bundle verify'.
Since we will use gently_parse_list_objects_filter() outside of
list-objects-filter-options.c, make it an external method and move its
API documentation to before its declaration.

If a caller to traverse_commit_list() specifies the options for the
--objects flag but does not specify a show_object function pointer, the
result is a segfault. This is currently visible by running 'git bundle
create --objects HEAD'.
We could fix this problem by supplying a no-op callback in
builtin/bundle.c, but that only solves the problem for one builtin,
leaving this segfault open for other callers.
Replace all callers of the show_commit and show_object function pointers
in list-objects.c to call helper functions show_commit() and
show_object() which check that the given context has non-NULL functions
before passing the necessary data. One extra benefit is that it reduces
duplication due to passing ctx->show_data to every caller.
Test that this segfault no longer occurs for 'git bundle'.
