When get-mark was introduced in commit 28c7b1f7b7 ("fast-import: add a
get-mark command", 2015-07-01), it followed the precedent of the
cat-blob command to be allowed on any line other than in the middle of a
data directive; see commit 777f80d742 ("fast-import: Allow cat-blob
requests at arbitrary points in stream", 2010-11-28). It was useful to
allow cat-blob directives in the middle of a commit to get more data
that would be used in writing the current commit object. get-mark is
not similarly useful since fast-import can already use either object id
or mark. Further, trying to allow this command anywhere caused parsing
bugs. Fix the parsing problems by only allowing get-mark commands to
appear when other commands have completed.

In commit 777f80d742 ("fast-import: Allow cat-blob requests at
arbitrary points in stream", 2010-11-28), fast-import started allowing
cat-blob commands to appear on the start of any line except in the
middle of a "data" command. It could be in the middle of various
directives that were part of a tag command, or in the middle of
checkpoints or progresses (each of which allow an optional second empty
newline), or even immediately after the mark command of a blob before
the data directive appeared (raising the question of what if it used the
mark for the blob that just barely appeared in the stream that we do not
yet have the data for). None of these locations make any sense as
places to put cat-blob requests.
The purpose of this change as stated in that commit message was to
[save] frontends from having to loop over everything they want to
commit in the next commit and cat-ing the necessary objects in
advance.
However, that can be achieved by simply allowing cat-blob requests to
appear whenever a filemodify directive is allowed. Further, it avoids
setting a bad precedent for other commands to follow (e.g. get-mark); a
precedent which caused parsing problems in corner cases.
Technically, inline filemodify directives add a slight wrinkle in that
frontends might want to have cat-blob directives appear after the start
of the filemodify and before the data directive contained within it. I
think it would have been better to disallow such a case (it would be
trivial to use cat-blob before the filemodify instead), but since there
is evidence this was used, for backwards compatibility let's support
that case too.

This patch was contributed only as a tentative "we could introduce a

in the long run" patch, opening the discussion whether other people
agree with deprecating the current behavior in favor of the rescheduling
behavior.
But the consensus on the Git mailing list was that it would make sense
to show a warning in the near future, and flip the default
rebase.rescheduleFailedExec to reschedule failed `exec` commands by
default. See e.g.

`usage` tries to call $0, which might very well be "./doc-diff", so if
we `cd_to_toplevel` before calling `usage`, we'll end with an error to
the effect of "./doc-diff: not found" rather than a friendly `doc-diff
-h` output. This regressed in ad51743007 ("doc-diff: add --clean mode to
remove temporary working gunk", 2018-08-31) where we moved the call to
`cd_to_toplevel` to much earlier.
A general fix might be to teach git-sh-setup to save away the absolute
path for $0 and then use that, instead. I'm not aware of any portable
way of doing that, see, e.g., d2addc3b96 ("t7800: readlink may not be
available", 2016-05-31).
An early version of this patch moved `cd_to_toplevel` back to where it
was before ad51743007 and taught the "--clean" code to cd on its own.
But let's try instead to get rid of the cd-ing entirely. We don't really
need it and we can work with absolute paths instead. There's just one
use of $PWD that we need to adjust by simply dropping it.

Users who want UTF-16 files in the working tree set the .gitattributes
like this:
test.txt working-tree-encoding=UTF-16
The unicode standard itself defines 3 allowed ways how to encode UTF-16.
The following 3 versions convert all back to 'g' 'i' 't' in UTF-8:
a) UTF-16, without BOM, big endian:
$ printf "\000g\000i\000t" | iconv -f UTF-16 -t UTF-8 | od -c
0000000 g i t
b) UTF-16, with BOM, little endian:
$ printf "\377\376g\000i\000t\000" | iconv -f UTF-16 -t UTF-8 | od -c
0000000 g i t
c) UTF-16, with BOM, big endian:
$ printf "\376\377\000g\000i\000t" | iconv -f UTF-16 -t UTF-8 | od -c
0000000 g i t
Git uses libiconv to convert from UTF-8 in the index into ITF-16 in the
working tree.
After a checkout, the resulting file has a BOM and is encoded in "UTF-16",
in the version (c) above.
This is what iconv generates, more details follow below.
iconv (and libiconv) can generate UTF-16, UTF-16LE or UTF-16BE:
d) UTF-16
$ printf 'git' | iconv -f UTF-8 -t UTF-16 | od -c
0000000 376 377 \0 g \0 i \0 t
e) UTF-16LE
$ printf 'git' | iconv -f UTF-8 -t UTF-16LE | od -c
0000000 g \0 i \0 t \0
f) UTF-16BE
$ printf 'git' | iconv -f UTF-8 -t UTF-16BE | od -c
0000000 \0 g \0 i \0 t
There is no way to generate version (b) from above in a Git working tree,
but that is what some applications need.
(All fully unicode aware applications should be able to read all 3 variants,
but in practise we are not there yet).
When producing UTF-16 as an output, iconv generates the big endian version
with a BOM. (big endian is probably chosen for historical reasons).
iconv can produce UTF-16 files with little endianess by using "UTF-16LE"
as encoding, and that file does not have a BOM.
Not all users (especially under Windows) are happy with this.
Some tools are not fully unicode aware and can only handle version (b).
Today there is no way to produce version (b) with iconv (or libiconv).
Looking into the history of iconv, it seems as if version (c) will
be used in all future iconv versions (for compatibility reasons).
Solve this dilemma and introduce a Git-specific "UTF-16LE-BOM".
libiconv can not handle the encoding, so Git pick it up, handles the BOM
and uses libiconv to convert the rest of the stream.
(UTF-16BE-BOM is added for consistency)

The word "property" is vague here. Let's spell out that we mean the path

While we're here, let's make the paragraph a little easier to read by
de-emphasizing the "when core.autocrlf is false" bit. Putting it in the
first sentence obscures the main content, and many readers won't care
about autocrlf (i.e., anyone who is just following the gitattributes(7)
advice, which mainly discusses "text" and "core.eol").
