A repository created with "git clone --single" had its fetch
refspecs set up just like a clone without "--single", leading the
subsequent "git fetch" to slurp all the other branches, defeating
the whole point of specifying "only this branch".
* rt/maint-clone-single:
clone --single: limit the fetch refspec to fetched branch
It was unclear in the documentation for "git blame" that it is
unnecessary for users to use the "--follow" option.
* jc/blame-follows-renames:
git blame: document that it always follows origin across whole-file renames
We support backslash escape, but we hide the details behind the phrase
"a shell glob suitable for consumption by fnmatch(3)". So it may not
be obvious how one can get literal # or ! at the beginning of pattern.
Add a few lines on how to work around the magic characters.

Teach the commands from the "log" family the "--grep-reflog" option
to limit output by string that appears in the reflog entry when the
"--walk-reflogs" option is in effect.
* nd/grep-reflog:
revision: make --grep search in notes too if shown
log --grep-reflog: reject the option without -g
revision: add --grep-reflog to filter commits by reflog messages
grep: prepare for new header field filter
"git submodule frotz" was not diagnosed as "frotz" being an unknown
subcommand to "git submodule"; the user instead got a complaint that
"git submodule status" was run with an unknown path "frotz".
* rr/maint-submodule-unknown-cmd:
submodule: if $command was not matched, don't parse other args
It already is listed in the "git config" documentation, but people
interested in pushing would first look at "git push" documentation.

Clarify the "blame" documentation to tell the users that there is
no need to ask for "--follow".

Running "git fetch" in a repository made with "git clone --single"
slurps all the branches, defeating the point of "--single".

grep: teach --debug option to dump the parse tree
Teach an option to edit the insn sheet to "git rebase -i".
* aw/rebase-i-edit-todo:
rebase -i: suggest using --edit-todo to fix an unknown instruction
rebase -i: Add tests for "--edit-todo"
rebase -i: Teach "--edit-todo" action
rebase -i: Refactor help messages for todo file
rebase usage: subcommands can not be combined with -i
Notes are shown after commit body. From user perspective it looks
pretty much like commit body and they may assume --grep would search
in that part too.
Make it so.

Similar to --author/--committer which filters commits by author and
committer header fields. --grep-reflog adds a fake "reflog" header to
commit and a grep filter to search on that line.
All rules to --author/--committer apply except no timestamp stripping.

"git submodule" command DWIMs the command line and assumes a
unspecified action word for 'status' action. This is a UI mistake
that leads to a confusing behaviour. A mistyped command name is
instead treated as a request for 'status' of the submodule with that
name, e.g.
$ git submodule show
error: pathspec 'show' did not match any file(s) known to git.
Did you forget to 'git add'?
Stop DWIMming an unknown or mistyped subcommand name as pathspec
given to unspelled "status" subcommand. "git submodule" without any
argument is still interpreted as "git submodule status", but its
value is questionable.
Adjust t7400 to match, and stop advertising the default subcommand
being 'status' which does not help much in practice, other than
promoting laziness and confusion.

Various documentation fixups.
* po/maint-docs:
Doc branch: show -vv option and alternative
Doc clean: add See Also link
Doc add: link gitignore
Doc: separate gitignore pattern sources
Doc: shallow clone deepens _to_ new depth
"git fetch --all", when passed "--no-tags", did not honor the
"--no-tags" option while fetching from individual remotes (the same
issue existed with "--tags", but combination "--all --tags" makes
much less sense than "--all --no-tags").
* dj/fetch-all-tags:
fetch --all: pass --tags/--no-tags through to each remote
submodule: use argv_array instead of hand-building arrays
fetch: use argv_array instead of hand-building arrays
argv-array: fix bogus cast when freeing array
argv-array: add pop function
Make it clear to people who (rightly or wrongly) think that the
"--follow" option should follow origin across while-file renames
that we already do so. That would explain the output that they see
when they do give the "--follow" option to the command.
We may or may not want to do a "--no-follow" patch as a follow-up,
but that is a separate topic.

Finishing touch to update documentation of string-list to make sure
the earlier rewrite of ref-list match logic that depends on its sort
order will not get broken.
* mh/fetch-filter-refs:
string_list API: document what "sorted" means
After running "git clone --single", the resulting repository has the
usual default "+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*" wildcard fetch
refspec installed, which means that a subsequent "git fetch" will
end up grabbing all the other branches.
Update the fetch refspec to cover only the singly cloned ref instead
to correct this.
That means:
If "--single" is used without "--branch" or "--mirror", the
fetch refspec covers the branch on which remote's HEAD points to.
If "--single" is used with "--branch", it'll cover only the branch
specified in the "--branch" option.
If "--single" is combined with "--mirror", then it'll cover all
refs of the cloned repository.
If "--single" is used with "--branch" that specifies a tag, then
it'll cover only the ref for this tag.

The pretty formats for GPG signatures were introduced but never
documented. Use the documentation from the commit that introduced them.
Do the same for the --show-signature option added to git log and
friends.
