In asciidoc's HTML output of the "gitrevisions" and "git-rev-parse"
documentation, the header:
The ... (three-dot) Symmetric Difference Notation
is rendered using "&8230;", a horizontal ellipsis. This is visually
ugly, but also hard to search for or cut-and-paste. We really mean three
ascii dots (0x2e) here, so let's make sure it renders as such.
The simplest way to do that is just escaping the leading dot, as the
instances in the rest of the section do. Arguably this should all be
converted to use backticks, which would let us drop the quoting here and
elsewhere (e.g., {carat}). But that does change the rendering slightly.
So let's fix the bug first, and we can decide on migrating the whole
section separately.
Note that this produces an empty doc-diff of the manpages. Curiously,
asciidoc produces the same ellipsis entity in the XML file, but docbook
then converts it back into three literal dots for the roff output! So
the roff manpages have been correct all along (which may be a reason
nobody noticed this until now).

With the new `detailed` parameter, a new mode can be triggered when
displaying the merge messages: The `detailed` mode prints NUL-delimited
fields of the following form:
<path-count> NUL <path>... NUL <conflict-type> NUL <message>
The `<path-count>` field determines how many `<path>` fields there are.
The intention of this mode is to support server-side operations, where
worktree-less merges can lead to conflicts and depending on the type
and/or path count, the caller might know how to handle said conflict.

It is all fine and dandy for a regular Git command that is intended to
be run interactively to produce a bunch of messages upon an error.
However, in `merge-ort`'s case, we want to call the command e.g. in
server-side software, where the actual error messages are not quite as
interesting as machine-readable, immutable terms that describe the exact
nature of any given conflict.
With this patch, the `merge-ort` machinery records the exact type (as
specified via an `enum` value) as well as the involved path(s) together
with the conflict's message.

To prepare for using the `merge-ort` machinery in server operations, we
cannot simply produce a free-form string that combines a variable-length
list of messages.
Instead, we need to list them one by one. The natural fit for this is a
`string_list`.
We will subsequently add even more information in the `util` attribute
of the string list items.

There was one case in merge-ort that would call path_msg() multiple
times for the same logical conflict, and it was in order to give advice
about how to resolve a conflict. This advice does not make as much
sense with remerge-diff, or with merge-tree being invoked by a GitHub
GUI for resolution of messages, and is making it hard to provide
which-logical-conflict-affects-which-paths information in a machine
parseable way to a higher level caller of merge-tree. Let's simply
remove this informational message.

When running `git merge-tree --write-tree`, we previously would only
return an exit status reflecting the cleanness of a merge, and print out
the toplevel tree of the resulting merge. Merges also have
informational messages, such as:
* "Auto-merging <PATH>"
* "CONFLICT (content): ..."
* "CONFLICT (file/directory)"
* etc.
In fact, when non-content conflicts occur (such as file/directory,
modify/delete, add/add with differing modes, rename/rename (1to2),
etc.), these informational messages may be the only notification the
user gets since these conflicts are not representable in the contents
of the file.
Add a --[no-]messages option so that callers can request these messages
be included at the end of the output. Include such messages by default
when there are conflicts, and omit them by default when the merge is
clean.

This adds the ability to perform real merges rather than just trivial
merges (meaning handling three way content merges, recursive ancestor
consolidation, renames, proper directory/file conflict handling, and so
forth). However, unlike `git merge`, the working tree and index are
left alone and no branch is updated.
The only output is:
- the toplevel resulting tree printed on stdout
- exit status of 0 (clean), 1 (conflicts present), anything else
(merge could not be performed; unknown if clean or conflicted)
This output is meant to be used by some higher level script, perhaps in
a sequence of steps like this:
NEWTREE=$(git merge-tree --write-tree $BRANCH1 $BRANCH2)
test $? -eq 0 || die "There were conflicts..."
NEWCOMMIT=$(git commit-tree $NEWTREE -p $BRANCH1 -p $BRANCH2)
git update-ref $BRANCH1 $NEWCOMMIT
Note that higher level scripts may also want to access the
conflict/warning messages normally output during a merge, or have quick
access to a list of files with conflicts. That is not available in this
preliminary implementation, but subsequent commits will add that
ability (meaning that NEWTREE would be a lot more than a tree in the
case of conflicts).
This also marks the traditional trivial merge of merge-tree as
deprecated. The trivial merge not only had limited applicability, the
output format was also difficult to work with (and its format
undocumented), and will generally be less performant than real merges.

Let merge-tree accept a `--write-tree` parameter for choosing real
merges instead of trivial merges, and accept an optional
`--trivial-merge` option to get the traditional behavior. Note that
these accept different numbers of arguments, though, so these names
need not actually be used.
Note that real merges differ from trivial merges in that they handle:
- three way content merges
- recursive ancestor consolidation
- renames
- proper directory/file conflict handling
- etc.
Basically all the stuff you'd expect from `git merge`, just without
updating the index and working tree. The initial shell added here does
nothing more than die with "real merges are not yet implemented", but
that will be fixed in subsequent commits.

Since 8d92fb2927 (dir: replace exponential algorithm with a linear one,
2020-04-01) traversing into a repository's directory tree when the
traversal began outside the repository's standard location has failed
because the encountered repository was identified as a nested foreign
repository.
Prior to this commit, the failure to traverse into a repository's
default worktree location was observable from a user's perspective under
either of the following conditions (there may be others):
1) Set the `core.worktree` location to a parent directory of the
default worktree; or
2) Use the `--git_dir` option while the working directory is outside
the repository's default worktree location
Under either of these conditions, symptoms of the failure to traverse
into the repository's default worktree location include the inability to
add files to the index or get a list of untracked files via ls-files.
This commit adds a check to determine whether a nested repository that
is encountered in recursing a path is actually `the_repository`. If so,
we simply treat the directory as if it doesn't contain a nested
repository.
The commit includes test-cases to reduce the likelihood of future
regressions.

The many test_configured_prune tests in t5510-fetch.sh test many
combinations of --prune, --prune-tags, and using 'origin' or an explicit
URL. Some machinery was introduced in e1790f9245 (fetch tests: fetch
<url> <spec> as well as fetch [<remote>], 2018-02-09) to replace
'origin' with this explicit URL. This URL is a "file:///" URL for the
root of the $TRASH_DIRECTORY.
However, if the current build tree has an '@' symbol, the
replacement using perl fails. It drops the '@' as well as anything
else in that directory name. You can observe this locally by
cloning git.git into a "victim@03" directory and running the test
script.
As we are writing in Perl anyway, pass in the shell variables involved
to the script as arguments and perform necessary string transformations
inside it, instead of assuming that it is sufficient to enclose the
$remote_url variable inside a pair of single quotes.

With 31c8221a (mktree: validate entry type in input, 2009-05-14), we
called the sha1_object_info() API to obtain the type information, but
allowed the call to silently fail when the object was missing locally,
so that we can sanity-check the types opportunistically when the
object did exist.
The implementation is understandable because back then there was no
lazy/on-demand downloading of individual objects from the promisor
remotes that causes a long delay and materializes the object, hence
defeating the point of using "--missing". The design is hurting us
now.
We could bypass the opportunistic type/mode consistency check
altogether when "--missing" is given, but instead, use the
oid_object_info_extended() API and tell it that we are only interested
in objects that locally exist and are immediately available by passing
OBJECT_INFO_SKIP_FETCH_OBJECT bit to it. That way, we will still
retain the cheap and opportunistic sanity check for local objects.

Reachability bitmaps are designed to speed up the "counting objects"
phase of generating a pack during a clone or fetch. They are not
optimized for Git clients sending a small topic branch via "git push".
In some cases (see [1]), using reachability bitmaps during "git push"
can cause significant performance regressions.
Add a new "push.useBitmaps" configuration variable to allow users to
tell "git push" not to use bitmaps. We already have "pack.bitmaps"
that controls the use of bitmaps, but a separate configuration variable
allows the reachability bitmaps to still be used in other areas,
such as "git upload-pack", while disabling it only for "git push".
