"git fetch --negotiate-only" is an internal command used by "git
push" to figure out which part of our history is missing from the
other side.  It should never recurse into submodules even when
fetch.recursesubmodules configuration variable is set, nor it
should trigger "gc".  The code has been tightened up to ensure it
only does common ancestry discovery and nothing else.

6327f0efed branch,checkout: fix --track documentation
Document that the accepted variants of the --track option are --track,
--track=direct, and --track=inherit.  The equal sign in the latter two
cannot be replaced with whitespace; in general optional arguments need
to be attached firmly to their option.

Put "direct" consistently before "inherit", if only for the reasons
that the former is the default, explained first in the documentation,
and comes before the latter alphabetically.

Mention both modes in the short help so that readers don't have to look
them up in the full documentation.  They are literal strings and thus
untranslatable.  PARSE_OPT_LITERAL_ARGHELP is inferred due to the pipe
and parenthesis characters, so we don't have to provide that flag
explicitly.

Mention that -t has the same effect as --track and --track=direct.
There is no way to specify inherit mode using the short option, because
short options generally don't accept optional arguments.

386c076a86 fetch --negotiate-only: do not update submodules
`git fetch --negotiate-only` is an implementation detail of push
negotiation and, unlike most `git fetch` invocations, does not actually
update the main repository. Thus it should not update submodules even
if submodule recursion is enabled.

This is not just slow, it is wrong e.g. push negotiation with
"submodule.recurse=true" will cause submodules to be updated because it
invokes `git fetch --negotiate-only`.

Fix this by disabling submodule recursion if --negotiate-only was given.
Since this makes --negotiate-only and --recurse-submodules incompatible,
check for this invalid combination and die.

This does not use the "goto cleanup" introduced in the previous commit
because we want to recurse through submodules whenever a ref is fetched,
and this can happen without introducing new objects.

399b198489 config: include file if remote URL matches a glob
This is a feature that supports config file inclusion conditional on
whether the repo has a remote with a URL that matches a glob.

Similar to my previous work on remote-suggested hooks [1], the main
motivation is to allow remote repo administrators to provide recommended
configs in a way that can be consumed more easily (e.g. through a
package installable by a package manager - it could, for example,
contain a file to be included conditionally and a post-install script
that adds the include directive to the system-wide config file).

In order to do this, Git reruns the config parsing mechanism upon
noticing the first URL-conditional include in order to find all remote
URLs, and these remote URLs are then used to determine if that first and
all subsequent includes are executed. Remote URLs are not allowed to be
configued in any URL-conditionally-included file.

c11f95010c git-cli.txt: clarify "options first and then args"
There are some commands permit the user whether to provide options
first before args, or the reverse order. For example:

    git push --dry-run <remote> <ref>

And:

    git push <remote> <ref> --dry-run

Both of them is supported, but some commands do not, for instance:

     git ls-remote --heads <remote>

And:

     git ls-remote <remote> --heads

If <remote> only has one ref and it's name is "refs/heads/--heads", you
will get the same result, otherwise will not.This is because the former
in the second example will parse "--heads" as an "option" which means
to limit to only "refs/heads" when listing the remote references, the
latter treat "--heads" as an argument which means to filter the result
list with the given pattern.

Therefore, we want to specify a bit more in "gitcli.txt" about the way
we recommend and help to resolve the ambiguity around some git command
usage. The related disscussions locate at [1].

By the way, there are some issues with lowercase letters in the document,
which have been modified together.

83dc443439 cat-file: don't whitespace-pad "(...)" in SYNOPSIS and usage output
Fix up whitespace issues around "(... | ...)" in the SYNOPSIS and
usage. These were introduced in ab/cat-file series. See
e145efa6059 (Merge branch 'ab/cat-file' into next, 2022-01-05). In
particular 57d6a1cf96, 5a40417876 and 97fe725075 in that series.

We'll now correctly emit this usage output:

    $ git cat-file -h
    usage: git cat-file <type> <object>
       or: git cat-file (-e | -p) <object>
       or: git cat-file (-t | -s) [--allow-unknown-type] <object>
    [...]

Before this the last line of that would be inconsistent with the
preceding "(-e | -p)":

   or: git cat-file ( -t | -s ) [--allow-unknown-type] <object>

34ae3b7071 name-rev: deprecate --stdin in favor of --annotate-stdin
Introduce a --annotate-stdin that is functionally equivalent of --stdin.
--stdin does not behave as --stdin in other subcommands, such as
pack-objects whereby it takes one argument per line. Since --stdin can
be a confusing and misleading name, rename it to --annotate-stdin.

This change adds a warning to --stdin warning that it will be removed in
the future.

96e7225b31 hook: add 'run' subcommand
In order to enable hooks to be run as an external process, by a
standalone Git command, or by tools which wrap Git, provide an external
means to run all configured hook commands for a given hook event.

Most of our hooks require more complex functionality than this, but
let's start with the bare minimum required to support our simplest
hooks.

In terms of implementation the usage_with_options() and "goto usage"
pattern here mirrors that of
builtin/{commit-graph,multi-pack-index}.c.

Some of the implementation here, such as a function being named
run_hooks_opt() when it's tasked with running one hook, to using the
run_processes_parallel_tr2() API to run with jobs=1 is somewhere
between a bit odd and and an overkill for the current features of this
"hook run" command and the hook.[ch] API.

This code will eventually be able to run multiple hooks declared in
config in parallel, by starting out with these names and APIs we
reduce the later churn of renaming functions, switching from the
run_command() to run_processes_parallel_tr2() API etc.

fdfae830f8 SubmittingPatchs: clarify choice of base and testing
We encourage identifying what, among many topics on `next`, exact
topics a new work depends on, instead of building directly on
`next`.  Let's clarify this in the documentation.

Developers should know what they are building on top of, and be
aware of which part of the system is currently being worked on.
Encouraging them to make trial merges to `next` and `seen`
themselves will incentivize them to read others' changes and
understand them, eventually helping the developers to coordinate
among themselves and reviewing each others' changes.

97fe725075 cat-file docs: fix SYNOPSIS and "-h" output
There were various inaccuracies in the previous SYNOPSIS output,
e.g. "--path" is not something that can optionally go with any options
except --textconv or --filters, as the output implied.

The opening line of the DESCRIPTION section is also "In its first
form[...]", which refers to "git cat-file <type> <object>", but the
SYNOPSIS section wasn't showing that as the first form!

That part of the documentation made sense in
d83a42f34a (Documentation: minor grammatical fixes in
git-cat-file.txt, 2009-03-22) when it was introduced, but since then
various options that were added have made that intro make no sense in
the context it was in. Now the two will match again.

The usage output here is not properly aligned on "master" currently,
but will be with my in-flight 4631cfc20b (parse-options: properly
align continued usage output, 2021-09-21), so let's indent things
correctly in the C code in anticipation of that.

78087097b8 ls-files: add --sparse option
Existing callers to 'git ls-files' are expecting file names, not
directories. It is best to expand a sparse index to show all of the
contained files in this case.

However, expert users may want to inspect the contents of the index
itself including which directories are sparse. Add a --sparse option to
allow users to request this information.

During testing, I noticed that options such as --modified did not affect
the output when the files in question were outside the sparse-checkout
definition. Tests are added to document this preexisting behavior and
how it remains unchanged with the sparse index and the --sparse option.

d3115660b4 branch: add flags and config to inherit tracking
It can be helpful when creating a new branch to use the existing
tracking configuration from the branch point. However, there is
currently not a method to automatically do so.

Teach git-{branch,checkout,switch} an "inherit" argument to the
"--track" option. When this is set, creating a new branch will cause the
tracking configuration to default to the configuration of the branch
point, if set.

For example, if branch "main" tracks "origin/main", and we run
`git checkout --track=inherit -b feature main`, then branch "feature"
will track "origin/main". Thus, `git status` will show us how far
ahead/behind we are from origin, and `git pull` will pull from origin.

This is particularly useful when creating branches across many
submodules, such as with `git submodule foreach ...` (or if running with
a patch such as [1], which we use at $job), as it avoids having to
manually set tracking info for each submodule.

Since we've added an argument to "--track", also add "--track=direct" as
another way to explicitly get the original "--track" behavior ("--track"
without an argument still works as well).

Finally, teach branch.autoSetupMerge a new "inherit" option. When this
is set, "--track=inherit" becomes the default behavior.

bd2bc94252 merge: allow to pretend a merge is made into a different branch
When a series of patches for a topic-B depends on having topic-A,
the workflow to prepare the topic-B branch would look like this:

    $ git checkout -b topic-B main
    $ git merge --no-ff --no-edit topic-A
    $ git am <mbox-for-topic-B

When topic-A gets updated, recreating the first merge and rebasing
the rest of the topic-B, all on detached HEAD, is a useful
technique.  After updating topic-A with its new round of patches:

    $ git checkout topic-B
    $ prev=$(git rev-parse 'HEAD^{/^Merge branch .topic-A. into}')
    $ git checkout --detach $prev^1
    $ git merge --no-ff --no-edit topic-A
    $ git rebase --onto HEAD $prev @{-1}^0
    $ git checkout -B @{-1}

This will

 (0) check out the current topic-B.
 (1) find the previous merge of topic-A into topic-B.
 (2) detach the HEAD to the parent of the previous merge.
 (3) merge the updated topic-A to it.
 (4) reapply the patches to rebuild the rest of topic-B.
 (5) update topic-B with the result.

without contaminating the reflog of topic-B too much.  topic-B@{1}
is the "logically previous" state before topic-A got updated, for
example.  At (4), comparison (e.g. range-diff) between HEAD and
@{-1} is a meaningful way to sanity check the result, and the same
can be done at (5) by comparing topic-B and topic-B@{1}.

But there is one glitch.  The merge into the detached HEAD done in
the step (3) above gives us "Merge branch 'topic-A' into HEAD", and
does not say "into topic-B".

Teach the "--into-name=<branch>" option to "git merge" and its
underlying "git fmt-merge-message", to pretend as if we were merging
into <branch>, no matter what branch we are actually merging into,
when they prepare the merge message.  The pretend name honors the
usual "into <target>" suppression mechanism, which can be seen in
the tests added here.

47ca93d071 repack: make '--quiet' disable progress
While testing some ideas in 'git repack', I ran it with '--quiet' and
discovered that some progress output was still shown. Specifically, the
output for writing the multi-pack-index showed the progress.

The 'show_progress' variable in cmd_repack() is initialized with
isatty(2) and is not modified at all by the '--quiet' flag. The
'--quiet' flag modifies the po_args.quiet option which is translated
into a '--quiet' flag for the 'git pack-objects' child process. However,
'show_progress' is used to directly send progress information to the
multi-pack-index writing logic which does not use a child process.

The fix here is to modify 'show_progress' to be false if po_opts.quiet
is true, and isatty(2) otherwise. This new expectation simplifies a
later condition that checks both.

Update the documentation to make it clear that '-q' will disable all
progress in addition to ensuring the 'git pack-objects' child process
will receive the flag.

Use 'test_terminal' to check that this works to get around the isatty(2)
check.

9e7e41bf19 am: support --allow-empty to record specific empty patches
This option helps to record specific empty patches in the middle
of an am session, which does create empty commits only when:

    1. the index has not changed
    2. lacking a branch

When the index has changed, "--allow-empty" will create a non-empty
commit like passing "--continue" or "--resolved".

7c096b8d61 am: support --empty=<option> to handle empty patches
Since that the command 'git-format-patch' can include patches of
commits that emit no changes, the 'git-am' command should also
support an option, named as '--empty', to specify how to handle
those empty patches. In this commit, we have implemented three
valid options ('stop', 'drop' and 'keep').

acd78728bb doc/config: mark ssh allowedSigners example as literal
The discussion for gpg.ssh.allowedSignersFile shows an example string
that contains "user1@example.com,user2@example.com". Asciidoc thinks
these are real email addresses and generates "mailto" footnotes for
them. This makes the rendered content more confusing, as it has extra
"[1]" markers:

  The file consists of one or more lines of principals followed by an
  ssh public key. e.g.: user1@example.com[1],user2@example.com[2]
  ssh-rsa AAAAX1... See ssh-keygen(1) "ALLOWED SIGNERS" for details.

and also generates pointless notes at the end of the page:

  NOTES
        1. user1@example.com
           mailto:user1@example.com

        2. user2@example.com
           mailto:user2@example.com

We can fix this by putting the example into a backtick literal block.
That inhibits the mailto generation, and as a bonus typesets the example
text in a way that sets it off from the regular prose (a tt font for
html, or bold in the roff manpage).
