This is pretty useful in `%<(100)%s%Cred%>(20)% an' where %s does not
use up all 100 columns and %an needs more than 20 columns. By
replacing %>(20) with %>>(20), %an can steal spaces from %s.
%>> understands escape sequences, so %Cred does not stop it from
stealing spaces in %<(100).

%>(N,trunc) truncates the right part after N columns and replace the
last two letters with "..". ltrunc does the same on the left. mtrunc

Either %<, %> or %>< standing before a placeholder specifies how many
columns (at least as the placeholder can exceed it) it takes. Each
differs on how spaces are padded:
%< pads on the right (aka left alignment)
%> pads on the left (aka right alignment)
%>< pads both ways equally (aka centered)
The (<N>) follows them, e.g. `%<(100)', to specify the number of
columns the next placeholder takes.
However, if '|' stands before (<N>), e.g. `%>|(100)', then the number
of columns is calculated so that it reaches the Nth column on screen.

This is not simply convenient over %C(auto,xxx). Some placeholders

The fact that we don't set $HOME may confuse admins who expect
~<user>/.gitconfig to be used, because that is not what we try to
read. And worse, since 96b9e0e3, a git-daemon started by root is
likely to fail to run at all, as the user we switch to generally
cannot read ~root.

eb32d236 introduced the OBJ_OFS_DELTA object that uses a relative offset to
identify the base object instead of the 20-byte SHA1 reference. The pack file
documentation only mentions the SHA1 based reference in its description of the
deltified object entry.
Update the pack format documentation to clarify that the deltified object
representation refers to its base using either a relative negative offset or
the absolute SHA1 identifier.

The documentation says that "If no 'refspec' capability is advertised,
there is an implied `refspec *:*`" but this is only the case for the
"import" command.
Since there is a comment in transport-helper.c indicating that this
default is for historical reasons, change the documentation to clarify
that a refspec should always be specified.

fast-export can fail because of some pruned-reference when importing a
mark file.
The problem happens in the following scenario:
$ git fast-export --export-marks=MARKS master
(rewrite master)
$ git prune
$ git fast-export --import-marks=MARKS master
This might fail if some references have been removed by prune
because some marks will refer to no longer existing commits.
git-fast-export will not need these objects anyway as they were no
longer reachable.
We still need to update last_numid so we don't change the mapping
between marks and objects for remote-helpers.
Unfortunately, the mark file should not be rewritten without lost marks
if no new objects has been exported, as we could lose track of the last
last_numid.

When we introduced the concept of "detached HEAD", we made sure that
commands that operate on the history of the current branch "just
work" in that state. They update the HEAD to point at the new
history without affecting any branch when the HEAD is detached, just
like they update the tip of the "current branch" to point at the new
history when HEAD points at a specific branch.
As this is done as the natural extension for these commands, we did
not, we still do not, and we do not want to repeat "A detached HEAD
is updated without affecting any branch" when describing what each
and every one of these commands that operates "on the current branch"
does.
Add a blanket description to the glossary to cover them instead.
The general principle is that operations to update the branch work
on and affect the HEAD, while operations to update the information
about a branch do not.
