When we are traversing commit parents along the
UNINTERESTING side of a revision walk, we do not care if
the parent turns out to be missing. That lets us limit
traversals using unreachable and possibly incomplete
sections of history. However, we do still print error
messages about the missing commits; this patch suppresses
the error, as well.

We set revs->ignore_missing_links to instruct the
revision-walking machinery that we know the history graph
may be incomplete. For example, we use it when walking
unreachable but recent objects; we want to add what we can,
but it's OK if the history is incomplete.
However, we still print error messages for the missing
objects, which can be confusing. This is not an error, but
just a normal situation when transitioning from a repository
last pruned by an older git (which can leave broken segments
of history) to a more recent one (where we try to preserve
whole reachable segments).

When we call parse_commit, it will complain to stderr if the
object does not exist or cannot be read. This means that we
may produce useless error messages if this situation is
expected (e.g., because the object is marked UNINTERESTING,
or because revs->ignore_missing_links is set).
We can fix this by adding a new "parse_X_gently" form that
takes a flag to suppress the messages. The existing
"parse_X" form is already gentle in the sense that it
returns an error rather than dying, and we could in theory
just add a "quiet" flag to it (with existing callers passing
"0"). But doing it this way means we do not have to disturb
existing callers.
Note also that the new flag is "quiet_on_missing", and not
just "quiet". We could add a flag to suppress _all_ errors,
but besides being a more invasive change (we would have to
pass the flag down to sub-functions, too), there is a good
reason not to: we would never want to use it. Missing a
linked object is expected in some circumstances, but it is
never expected to have a malformed commit, or to get a tree
when we wanted a commit. We should always complain about
these corruptions.

It's better to start the man page with a description of what
submodules actually are, instead of saying what they are not.
Reorder the paragraphs such that
- the first short paragraph introduces the submodule concept,
- the second paragraph highlights the usage of the submodule command,
- the third paragraph giving background information, and finally
- the fourth paragraph discusing alternatives such as subtrees and
remotes, which we don't want to be confused with.
This ordering deepens the knowledge on submodules with each paragraph.
First the basic questions like "How/what" will be answered, while the
underlying concepts will be taught at a later time.
Making sure it is not confused with subtrees and remotes is not really
enhancing knowledge of submodules itself, but rather painting the big
picture of git concepts, so you could also argue to have it as the second
paragraph. Personally I think this may confuse readers, specially
newcomers though.
Additionally to reordering the paragraphs, they have been slightly
reworded.

The config-writing code uses xmmap to map the existing
config file, which will die if the map fails. This has two
downsides:
1. The error message is not very helpful, as it lacks any
context about the file we are mapping:
$ mkdir foo
$ git config --file=foo some.key value
fatal: Out of memory? mmap failed: No such device
2. We normally do not die in this code path; instead, we'd
rather report the error and return an appropriate exit
status (which is part of the public interface
documented in git-config.1).
This patch introduces a "gentle" form of xmmap which lets us
produce our own error message. We do not want to use mmap
directly, because we would like to use the other
compatibility elements of xmmap (e.g., handling 0-length
maps portably).
The end result is:
$ git.compile config --file=foo some.key value
error: unable to mmap 'foo': No such device
$ echo $?

Once upon a time, git's in-memory representation of a cache
entry actually pointed to the mmap'd on-disk data. So in
520fc24 (Allow writing to the private index file mapping.,
2005-04-26), we specified PROT_WRITE so that we could tweak
the entries while we run (in our own MAP_PRIVATE copy-on-write
version, of course).
Later, 7a51ed6 (Make on-disk index representation separate
from in-core one, 2008-01-14) stopped doing this; we copy
the data into our in-core representation, and then drop the
mmap immediately. We can therefore drop the PROT_WRITE flag.
It's probably not hurting anything as it is, but it's
potentially confusing.
Note that we could also mark the mapping as "const" to
verify that we never write to it. However, we don't
typically do that for our other maps, as it then requires
casting to munmap() it.

lines, too. When they see a whitespace breakage on a new line, they
can spot the same kind of whitespace breakage on the corresponding
old line and want to say "Ah, those breakages are there but they
were inherited from the original, so let's not touch them for now."
