Arrays should be named in the singular form, ensuring that when
accessing an element within an array (e.g. dog[0]) it's clear that
we're referring to an element instead of a collection.
Add a new rule to CodingGuidelines asking for arrays to be named in
singular instead of plural.

"git merge-file" can be run outside a repository, but it ignored
all configuration, even the per-user ones. The command now uses
available configuration files to find its customization.

merge-file: honor merge.conflictStyle outside of a repository
A handful of documentation pages have been modernized to use the
"synopsis" style.

Allow recording process ID of the process that holds the lock next
to a lockfile for diagnosis.
* pc/lockfile-pid:

If the user wants to find what are the available keys, they need to
either check the documentation or to ask for all the key-value pairs
by using --all.
Add a new flag --keys for listing only the available keys without
listing the values.

Both subcommands in git-repo(1) accept the "keyvalue" format. This
format is newline-delimited, where the key is separated from the
value with an equals sign.
The name of this option is suboptimal though, as it is both too
limiting while at the same time not really indicating what it
actually does:
- There is no mention of the format being newline-delimited, which
is the key differentiator to the "nul" format.
- Both "nul" and "keyvalue" have a key and a value, so the latter
is not exactly giving any hint what makes it so special.
- "keyvalue" requires there to be, well, a key and a value, but we
want to add additional output that is only going to be newline
delimited.
Taken together, "keyvalue" is kind of a bad name for this output
format.
Luckily, the git-repo(1) command is still rather new and marked as
experimental, so things aren't cast into stone yet. Rename the
format to "lines" instead to better indicate that the major
difference is that we'll get newline-delimited output. This new name
will also be a better fit for a subsequent extension in git-repo(1).

Five commands include these options. Let’s link to the command so that
the curious user can learn more about what “rerere” is about.
It’s also better to consistently refer to things like
e.g. “git-subcommand(1)” over `git subcommand` or `subcommand`.
Also apply the same treatment to git-add(1).

When running outside a repository, git merge-file ignores the
merge.conflictStyle configuration variable entirely. Since the
function receives `repo` from the caller (which is NULL outside a
repository), and repo_config() falls back to reading system and user
configuration when passed NULL, pass `repo` to repo_config()
unconditionally.
Also document that merge.conflictStyle is honored.

47beb37b (shortlog: match commit trailers with --group, 2020-09-27)
added the `trailer` bullet point with three paragraphs.[1] Later,
3dc95e09 (shortlog: support arbitrary commit format `--group`s,
2022-10-24) put the single-paragraph bullet point about `format` right
after the first paragraph about `trailer`. That meant that the second
and third paragraphs for `trailer` got moved to `format`.
Move the two paragraphs back to `trailer`. We now also need one blank
line before the final bullet point so that it does not get joined with
the second bullet point.
† 1: Technically the bullet list formatting was immediately fixed to
include all three paragraphs in 63d24fa0 (shortlog: allow multiple

The --expire option for "git worktree list" and "git worktree prune"
only affects worktrees whose working directory path no longer exists.
The help text did not make this clear, and the documentation
inconsistently used "unused" for prune but "missing" for list.
Update the help text and documentation to consistently describe these
as "missing worktrees", and use "prune" instead of "expire" when
describing the effect on missing worktrees since the terminology is
clearer.
While at it, expand the description of the "prune" subcommand itself
to better explain what it does and when to use it, as suggested by
Junio.

When a lock file is held, it can be helpful to know which process owns
it, especially when debugging stale locks left behind by crashed
processes. Add an optional feature that creates a companion PID file
alongside each lock file, containing the PID of the lock holder.
For a lock file "foo.lock", the PID file is named "foo~pid.lock". The
tilde character is forbidden in refnames and allowed in Windows
filenames, which guarantees no collision with the refs namespace
(e.g., refs "foo" and "foo~pid" cannot both exist). The file contains
a single line in the format "pid <value>" followed by a newline.
The PID file is created when a lock is acquired (if enabled), and
automatically cleaned up when the lock is released (via commit or
rollback). The file is registered as a tempfile so it gets cleaned up
by signal and atexit handlers if the process terminates abnormally.
When a lock conflict occurs, the code checks for an existing PID file
and, if found, uses kill(pid, 0) to determine if the process is still
running. This allows providing context-aware error messages:
Lock is held by process 12345. Wait for it to finish, or remove
the lock file to continue.
Or for a stale lock:
Lock was held by process 12345, which is no longer running.
Remove the stale lock file to continue.
The feature is controlled via core.lockfilePid configuration (boolean).
Defaults to false. When enabled, PID files are created for all lock
operations.
Existing PID files are always read when displaying lock errors,
regardless of the core.lockfilePid setting. This ensures helpful
diagnostics even when the feature was previously enabled and later
disabled.
