The core.multiPackIndex config setting controls the multi-pack-
index (MIDX) feature. If false, the setting will disable all reads
from the multi-pack-index file.
Read this config setting in the new prepare_multi_pack_index_one()
which is called during prepare_packed_git(). This check is run once
per repository.
Add comparison commands in t5319-multi-pack-index.sh to check
typical Git behavior remains the same as the config setting is turned
on and off. This currently includes 'git rev-list' and 'git log'
commands to trigger several object database reads. Currently, these
would only catch an error in the prepare_multi_pack_index_one(), but
with later commits will catch errors in object lookups, abbreviations,
and approximate object counts.

The final pair of chunks for the multi-pack-index file stores the object
offsets. We default to using 32-bit offsets as in the pack-index version
1 format, but if there exists an offset larger than 32-bits, we use a
trick similar to the pack-index version 2 format by storing all offsets
at least 2^31 in a 64-bit table; we use the 32-bit table to point into
that 64-bit table as necessary.
We only store these 64-bit offsets if necessary, so create a test that
manipulates a version 2 pack-index to fake a large offset. This allows
us to test that the large offset table is created, but the data does not
match the actual packfile offsets. The multi-pack-index offset does match
the (corrupted) pack-index offset, so a future feature will compare these
offsets during a 'verify' step.

The multi-pack-index needs to track which packfiles it indexes. Store
these in our first required chunk. Since filenames are not well
structured, add padding to keep good alignment in later chunks.
Modify the 'git multi-pack-index read' subcommand to output the
existence of the pack-file name chunk. Modify t5319-multi-pack-index.sh
to reflect this new output and the new expected number of chunks.
Defense in depth: A pattern we are using in the multi-pack-index feature
is to verify the data as we write it. We want to ensure we never write
invalid data to the multi-pack-index. There are many checks that verify
that the values we are writing fit the format definitions. This mainly
helps developers while working on the feature, but it can also identify
issues that only appear when dealing with very large data sets. These
large sets are hard to encode into test cases.

The multi-pack-index feature generalizes the existing pack-index
feature by indexing objects across multiple pack-files.
Describe the basic file format, using a 12-byte header followed by
a lookup table for a list of "chunks" which will be described later.
The file ends with a footer containing a checksum using the hash
algorithm.
The header allows later versions to create breaking changes by
advancing the version number. We can also change the hash algorithm
using a different version value.
We will add the individual chunk format information as we introduce
the code that writes that information.

"git p4" updates.
* ld/git-p4-updates:
git-p4: auto-size the block
git-p4: narrow the scope of exceptions caught when parsing an int
git-p4: raise exceptions from p4CmdList based on error from p4 server
git-p4: better error reporting when p4 fails
git-p4: add option to disable syncing of p4/master with p4
git-p4: disable-rebase: allow setting this via configuration
git-p4: add options --commit and --disable-rebase

Mention that this feature works with some commands (merge and cherry-pick,
implying that it also works with commands that build on these like rebase
-m and rebase -i). Explicitly mentioning two commands hopefully implies
that it may not always work with other commands (am, and rebase without
flags that imply either -m or -i).
Also, since the directory rename detection from this cycle was
specifically added in merge-recursive and not diffcore-rename, remove the
'in "diff" family" phrase from the note. (Folks have requested in the
past that `git diff` detect directory renames and somehow simplify its
output, so it may be helpful to avoid implying that diff has any new
capability here.)

Add an option to the git-p4 submit command to disable syncing
with Perforce.
This is useful for the case where a git-p4 mirror has been setup
on a server somewhere, running from (e.g.) cron, and developers
then clone from this. Having the local cloned copy also sync
from Perforce just isn't useful.

On a daily work with multiple local git branches, the usual way to
submit only a specified commit was to cherry-pick the commit on
master then run git-p4 submit. It can be very annoying to switch
between local branches and master, only to submit one commit. The
proposed new way is to select directly the commit you want to
submit.
Add option --commit to command 'git-p4 submit' in order to submit
only specified commit(s) in p4.
On a daily work developping software with big compilation time, one
may not want to rebase on his local git tree, in order to avoid long
recompilation.
Add option --disable-rebase to command 'git-p4 submit' in order to
disable rebase after submission.

completion: add and use --list-cmds=alias
completion: add and use --list-cmds=nohelpers
Move declaration for alias.c to alias.h

command-list.txt: documentation and guide line
help: use command-list.txt for the source of guides
help: add "-a --verbose" to list all commands with synopsis
git: support --list-cmds=list-<category>

git --list-cmds: collect command list in a string_list

Use names instead of numbers for the AsciiDoc attributes that are used
for the footnotes. We will add more footnotes in subsequent commits,
and attributes should ideally all be unique. Having named attributes
will help ensure uniqueness, and we won't have to re-number the
attributes if we add a footnote earlier in the document.
In addition it also clarifies that the attribute name/number is not
related to the number the footnote will get in the output.
