af7cf268f0 fetch-pack: remove --keep-auto and make it the default.
This makes git-fetch over git native protocol to automatically
decide to keep the downloaded pack if the fetch results in more
than 100 objects, just like receive-pack invoked by git-push
does.  This logic is disabled when --keep is explicitly given
from the command line, so that a very small clone still keeps
the downloaded pack as before.

The 100 threshold can be adjusted with fetch.unpacklimit
configuration.  We might want to introduce transfer.unpacklimit
to consolidate the two unpacklimit variables, which will be a
topic for the next patch.

27dca07fb7 rename --exec to --upload-pack for fetch-pack and peek-remote

497171e765 Documentation: --amend cannot be combined with -c/-C/-F.
We used to get the following confusing error message:

    $ git commit --amend -a -m foo
    Option -m cannot be combined with -c/-C/-F

This is because --amend cannot be combined with -c/-C/-F, which makes
sense, because they try to handle the same log message in different ways.
So update the documentation to reflect this.

Separate part of Documentation/config.txt which deals with git config file

026aa93818 Revert "prune: --grace=time"
This reverts commit 9b088c4e39.

Protecting 'mature' objects does not make it any safer.  We should
admit that git-prune is inherently unsafe when run in parallel with
other operations without involving unwarranted locking overhead,
and with the latest git, even rebase and reset would not immediately
create crufts anyway.

1bb914603a Documentation/tutorial-2: Fix interesting typo in an example.

76a44c5c0b show-branch --reflog: show the reflog message at the top.
This changes the output so the list at the top shows the reflog
message, along with their relative timestamps.

You can use --reflog=<n> to show <n> most recent log entries, or
use --reflog=<n>,<b> to show <n> entries going back from the
entry <b>.  <b> can be either a number (so --reflog=4,20 shows 4
records starting from @{20}) or a timestamp (e.g. --reflog='4,1 day').

Here is a sample output (with --list option):

  $ git show-branch --reflog=10 --list jc/show-reflog
    [jc/show-reflog@{0}] (3 minutes ago) commit (amend): show-branch --ref
    [jc/show-reflog@{1}] (5 minutes ago) reset HEAD^

    [jc/show-reflog@{8}] (18 minutes ago) reset --hard HEAD~4

This shows what I did more cleanly:

At @{9}, I had a commit to complete 5 patch series, but I wanted
to consolidate two commits that enhances read_ref_at() into one
(they were @{9}^ and @{9}~3), and another two that touch show-branch
into one (@{9} and @{9}~2).

I first saved them with "format-patch -4", and then did a reset
at @{8}.  At @{7}, I applied one of them with "am", and then
used "git-apply" on the other one, and amended the commit at
@{6} (so @{6} and @{7} has the same parent).  I did not like the
log message, so I amended again at @{5}.

Then I cherry-picked @{9}~2 to create @{3} (the log message
shows that it needs to learn to set GIT_REFLOG_ACTION -- it uses
"git-commit" and the log entry is attributed for it).  Another
cherry-pick built @{2} out of @{9}, but what I wanted to do was
to squash these two into one, so I did a "reset HEAD^" at @{1}
and then made the final commit by amending what was at the top.

Having to specify git push --exec=... is annoying if you cannot have
git-receivepack in your PATH on the remote side (or don't want to).

the default value (which is "git-receive-pack").
