Commit f57f37e2e1 (files-backend: remove the use of
git_path(), 2017-03-26) introduced a regression when a
relative $GIT_DIR is used in a working tree:
- when we initialize the ref backend, we make a copy of
get_git_dir(), which may be relative
- later, we may call setup_work_tree() and chdir to the
root of the working tree
- further calls to the ref code will use the stored git
directory, but relative paths will now point to the
wrong place
The new test in t1501 demonstrates one such instance (the
bug causes us to write the ref update to the nonsense
"relative/relative/.git").
Since setup_work_tree() now uses chdir_notify, we can just
ask it update our relative paths when necessary.

When we change to the top of the working tree, we manually
re-adjust $GIT_DIR and call set_git_dir() again, in order to
update any relative git-dir we'd compute earlier.
Instead of the work-tree code having to know to call the
git-dir code, let's use the new chdir_notify interface.
There are two spots that need updating, with a few
subtleties in each:
1. the set_git_dir() code needs to chdir_notify_register()
so it can be told when to update its path.
Technically we could push this down into repo_set_gitdir(),
so that even repository structs besides the_repository
could benefit from this. But that opens up a lot of
complications:
- we'd still need to touch set_git_dir(), because it
does some other setup (like setting $GIT_DIR in the
environment)
- submodules using other repository structs get
cleaned up, which means we'd need to remove them
from the chdir_notify list
- it's unlikely to fix any bugs, since we shouldn't
generally chdir() in the middle of working on a
submodule
2. setup_work_tree now needs to call chdir_notify(), and
can lose its manual set_git_dir() call.
Note that at first glance it looks like this undoes the
absolute-to-relative optimization added by 044bbbcb63
(Make git_dir a path relative to work_tree in
setup_work_tree(), 2008-06-19). But for the most part
that optimization was just _undoing_ the
relative-to-absolute conversion which the function was
doing earlier (and which is now gone).
It is true that if you already have an absolute git_dir
that the setup_work_tree() function will no longer make
it relative as a side effect. But:
- we generally do have relative git-dir's due to the
way the discovery code works
- if we really care about making git-dir's relative
when possible, then we should be relativizing them
earlier (e.g., when we see an absolute $GIT_DIR we
could turn it relative, whether we are going to
chdir into a worktree or not). That would cover all
cases, including ones that 044bbbcb63 did not.

If one part of the code does a permanent chdir(), then this
invalidates any relative paths that may be held by other
parts of the code. For example, setup_work_tree() moves us
to the top of the working tree, which may invalidate a
previously stored relative gitdir.
We've hacked around this case by teaching setup_work_tree()
to re-run set_git_dir() with an adjusted path, but this
stomps all over the idea of module boundaries.
setup_work_tree() shouldn't have to know all of the places
that need to be fed an adjusted path. And indeed, there's at
least one other place (the refs code) which needs adjusting.
Let's provide an API to let code that stores relative paths
"subscribe" to updates to the current working directory.
This means that callers of chdir() don't need to know about
all subscribers ahead of time; they can simply consult a
dynamically built list.
Note that our helper function to reparent relative paths
uses the simple remove_leading_path(). We could in theory
use the much smarter relative_path(), but that led to some
problems as described in 41894ae3a3 (Use simpler
relative_path when set_git_dir, 2013-10-14). Since we're
aiming to replace the setup_work_tree() code here, let's
follow its lead.

The set_git_dir() function returns an error if setenv()
fails, but there are zero callers who pay attention to this
return value. If this ever were to happen, it could cause
confusing results, as sub-processes would see a potentially
stale GIT_DIR (e.g., if it is relative and we chdir()-ed to
the root of the working tree).
We _could_ try to fix each caller, but there's really
nothing useful to do after this failure except die. Let's
just lump setenv() failure into the same category as malloc
failure: things that should never happen and cause us to
abort catastrophically.

When upload-pack gained partial clone support (v2.17.0-rc0~132^2~12,
2017-12-08), it was guarded by the uploadpack.allowFilter config item
to allow server operators to control when they start supporting it.
That config item didn't go far enough, though: it controls whether the
'filter' capability is advertised, but if a (custom) client ignores
the capability advertisement and passes a filter specification anyway,
the server would handle that despite allowFilter being false.
This is particularly significant if a security bug is discovered in
this new experimental partial clone code. Installations without
uploadpack.allowFilter ought not to be affected since they don't
intend to support partial clone, but they would be swept up into being
vulnerable.
Simplify and limit the attack surface by making uploadpack.allowFilter
disable the feature, not just the advertisement of it.

Hotfix for recently graduated topic that give help to completion
scripts from the Git subcommands that are being completed
* nd/parseopt-completion:
t9902: disable test on the list of merge-strategies under GETTEXT_POISON
completion: clear cached --options when sourcing the completion script
This fixes a regression introduced in 2e612731b5 (submodule: port
submodule subcommand 'deinit' from shell to C, 2018-01-15), when
handling pathspecs that do not exist gracefully. This restores the
historic behavior of reporting the pathspec as unknown and returning
instead of reporting a bug.

In 1ada5020b3 ("stash: use stash_push for no verb form", 2017-02-28),
when the pathspec argument was introduced in 'git stash', that was also
documented. However I forgot to remove an extra square bracket after
the '--message' argument, even though the square bracket should have
been after the pathspec argument (where it was also added).
Remove the extra square bracket after the '--message' argument, to show
that the pathspec argument should be used with the 'push' verb.
While the pathspec argument can be used without the push verb, that's a
special case described later in the man page, and removing the first extra
square bracket instead of the second one makes the synopis easier to
understand.

The code to learn the list of merge strategies from the output of
"git merge -s help" forces C locale, so that it can notice the
message shown to indicate where the list starts in the output.
However, GETTEXT_POISON build corrupts its output even when run in
the C locale, and we cannot expect this test to succeed.
