In commit f6a4e61 ("push: accept push options", 2016-07-14), send-pack
was taught to include push options both within the signed cert (if the
push is a signed push) and outside the signed cert; however,
receive-pack ignores push options within the cert, only handling push
options outside the cert.
Teach receive-pack, in the case that push options are provided for a
signed push, to verify that the push options both within the cert and
outside the cert are consistent.
This sets in stone the requirement that send-pack redundantly send its
push options in 2 places, but I think that this is better than the
alternatives. Sending push options only within the cert is
backwards-incompatible with existing Git servers (which read push
options only from outside the cert), and sending push options only
outside the cert means that the push options are not signed for.

In commit c714e45 ("receive-pack: implement advertising and receiving
push options", 2016-07-14), receive-pack was taught to (among other
things) advertise that it understood push options, depending on
configuration. It was documented that it advertised such ability by
default; however, it actually does not. (In that commit, notice that
advertise_push_options defaults to 0, unlike advertise_atomic_push which
defaults to 1.)
Update the documentation to state that it does not advertise the ability
by default.

Replace a couple of broken links to gmane with links to other
archives. See commit 54471fdcc3 ("README: replace gmane link with
public-inbox", 2016-12-15) for prior art.
With this change there's still 4 references left in the code:
$ git grep -E '(article|thread)\.gmane.org' -- |grep -v RelNotes|wc -l
4
I couldn't find alternative links for those.

Git's configuration system works by reading multiple configuration
files in order, from general to specific:
- first, the system configuration /etc/gitconfig
- then the user's configuration (~/.gitconfig or ~/.config/git/config)
- then the repository configuration (.git/config)
For single-valued configuration items, the latest value wins. For
multi-valued configuration items, values accumulate in that order.
For example, this allows setting a credential helper globally in
~/.gitconfig that git will try to use in all repositories, regardless
of whether they additionally provide another helper. This is usually
a nice thing --- e.g. I can install helpers to use my OS keychain and
to cache credentials for a short period of time globally.
Sometimes people want to be able to override an inherited setting.
For the credential.helper setting, this is done by setting the
configuration item to empty before giving it a new value. This is
already documented but the documentation is hard to find ---
git-config(1) says to look at gitcredentials(7) and the config
reference in gitcredentials(7) doesn't mention this issue.
Move the documentation to the config reference to make it easier to
find.

Listing the specific hooks might feel verbose but without it the
reader is left to wonder which hooks are triggered during the
push. Something which is not immediately obvious when only trying
to find out where the hook is executed.

The original NIST press release linked here is no longer
available. But it was just a one-page summary of a larger
planning report; we can link to the report and point people
to the executive summary, which contains the same
information.
Ideally we'd cite it with a DOI, but I couldn't dig one up
for this particular document. I found many URLs pointing to
this report, but they all end up redirecting to this one
(and it looks somewhat official).

git-archimport has an option to register archives at
mirrors.sourcecontrol.net. The sourcecontrol.net domain
still exists, but that hostname no longer exists.
That means this feature is presumably broken. I'll leave the
examination and modification of that to people who might
actually use archimport. But in the meantime, let's wrap the
reference in the documentation in backticks, which will
avoid turning it into a broken link (and thus polluting
linkchecker results).

Note that the referenced diagram is also available on page

from the URL scheme ("uploads") whether it's going to stick
around forever.
