f0e58b3fe8 doc: mention that 'git submodule update' fetches missing commits
'git submodule update' will fetch new commits from the submodule remote
if the SHA-1 recorded in the superproject is not found. This was not
mentioned in the documentation.

ac33519ddf mingw: restrict file handle inheritance only on Windows 7 and later
Turns out that it don't work so well on Vista, see
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/1742 for details.

According to https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/?p=8873, it
*should* work on Windows Vista and later.

But apparently there are issues on Windows Vista when pipes are
involved. Given that Windows Vista is past its end of life (official
support ended on April 11th, 2017), let's not spend *too* much time on
this issue and just disable the file handle inheritance restriction on
any Windows version earlier than Windows 7.

ea8b7be147 git svn: stop using rebase --preserve-merges
We deprecated `--preserve-merges` in favor of `--rebase-merges`; Let's
reflect that in `git svn`.

Note: Even when the user asks for `--preserve-merges`, we now silently
pass `--rebase-merges` to `git rebase` instead. Technically, this is a
change of behavior. But practically, `git svn` only ever asks for a
non-interactive rebase, and `--preserve-merges` and `--rebase-merges`
are on par with regard to that.

99dfa6f970 sparse-checkout: use in-process update for disable subcommand
The 'git sparse-checkout disable' subcommand returns a user to a
full working directory. The old process for doing this required
updating the sparse-checkout file with the "/*" pattern and then
updating the working directory with core.sparseCheckout enabled.
Finally, the sparse-checkout file could be removed and the config
setting disabled.

However, it is valuable to keep a user's sparse-checkout file
intact so they can re-enable the sparse-checkout they previously
used with 'git sparse-checkout init'. This is now possible with
the in-process mechanism for updating the working directory.

879321eb0b sparse-checkout: add 'cone' mode
The sparse-checkout feature can have quadratic performance as
the number of patterns and number of entries in the index grow.
If there are 1,000 patterns and 1,000,000 entries, this time can
be very significant.

Create a new Boolean config option, core.sparseCheckoutCone, to
indicate that we expect the sparse-checkout file to contain a
more limited set of patterns. This is a separate config setting
from core.sparseCheckout to avoid breaking older clients by
introducing a tri-state option.

The config option does nothing right now, but will be expanded
upon in a later commit.

7bffca95ea sparse-checkout: add '--stdin' option to set subcommand
The 'git sparse-checkout set' subcommand takes a list of patterns
and places them in the sparse-checkout file. Then, it updates the
working directory to match those patterns. For a large list of
patterns, the command-line call can get very cumbersome.

f6039a9423 sparse-checkout: 'set' subcommand
The 'git sparse-checkout set' subcommand takes a list of patterns
as arguments and writes them to the sparse-checkout file. Then, it
updates the working directory using 'git read-tree -mu HEAD'.

The 'set' subcommand will replace the entire contents of the
sparse-checkout file. The write_patterns_and_update() method is
extracted from cmd_sparse_checkout() to make it easier to implement
'add' and/or 'remove' subcommands in the future.

If the core.sparseCheckout config setting is disabled, then enable
the config setting in the worktree config. If we set the config
this way and the sparse-checkout fails, then re-disable the config
setting.

d89f09c828 clone: add --sparse mode
When someone wants to clone a large repository, but plans to work
using a sparse-checkout file, they either need to do a full
checkout first and then reduce the patterns they included, or
clone with --no-checkout, set up their patterns, and then run
a checkout manually. This requires knowing a lot about the repo
shape and how sparse-checkout works.

Add a new '--sparse' option to 'git clone' that initializes the
sparse-checkout file to include the following patterns:

	/*
	!/*/

These patterns include every file in the root directory, but
no directories. This allows a repo to include files like a
README or a bootstrapping script to grow enlistments from that
point.

During the 'git sparse-checkout init' call, we must first look
to see if HEAD is valid, since 'git clone' does not have a valid
HEAD at the point where it initializes the sparse-checkout. The
following checkout within the clone command will create the HEAD
ref and update the working directory correctly.

bab3c35908 sparse-checkout: create 'init' subcommand
Getting started with a sparse-checkout file can be daunting. Help
users start their sparse enlistment using 'git sparse-checkout init'.
This will set 'core.sparseCheckout=true' in their config, write
an initial set of patterns to the sparse-checkout file, and update
their working directory.

Make sure to use the `extensions.worktreeConfig` setting and write
the sparse checkout config to the worktree-specific config file.
This avoids confusing interactions with other worktrees.

The use of running another process for 'git read-tree' is sub-
optimal. This will be removed in a later change.

94c0956b60 sparse-checkout: create builtin with 'list' subcommand
The sparse-checkout feature is mostly hidden to users, as its
only documentation is supplementary information in the docs for
'git read-tree'. In addition, users need to know how to edit the
.git/info/sparse-checkout file with the right patterns, then run
the appropriate 'git read-tree -mu HEAD' command. Keeping the
working directory in sync with the sparse-checkout file requires
care.

Begin an effort to make the sparse-checkout feature a porcelain
feature by creating a new 'git sparse-checkout' builtin. This
builtin will be the preferred mechanism for manipulating the
sparse-checkout file and syncing the working directory.

The documentation provided is adapted from the "git read-tree"
documentation with a few edits for clarity in the new context.
Extra sections are added to hint toward a future change to
a more restricted pattern set.

26d94853f0 pretty-options.txt: --notes accepts a ref instead of treeish
Although `--notes=` accepts and handles a tree-ish just fine, it isn't a
common use-case for users to pass in bare trees. By having "treeish", it
makes it harder to click in users' minds that the argument here is the
same type as the `notes.displayRef` configuration variable, for example.

Change `treeish` to `ref` so that it will be easier for users to make
this connection.

Note that we don't completely lose the notion that `--notes=` can accept
a tree-ish. In git-notes.txt, we have

	It is also permitted for a notes ref to point directly to a tree
	object, in which case the history of the notes can be read with
	`git log -p -g <refname>`.

which means that a hardcore user who wants to take advantage of this
obscure use-case will be able to infer the connection and not be
completely left in the dark.

1f0fc1db85 pretty: implement 'reference' format
The standard format for referencing other commits within some projects
(such as git.git) is the reference format. This is described in
Documentation/SubmittingPatches as

	If you want to reference a previous commit in the history of a stable
	branch, use the format "abbreviated hash (subject, date)", like this:

	....
		Commit f86a374 (pack-bitmap.c: fix a memleak, 2015-03-30)
		noticed that ...
	....

Since this format is so commonly used, standardize it as a pretty
format.

The tests that are implemented essentially show that the format-string
does not change in response to various log options. This is useful
because, for future developers, it shows that we've considered the
limitations of the "canned format-string" approach and we are fine with
them.

fb2ffa77a6 SubmittingPatches: remove dq from commit reference
Quoting SZEDER Gábor[1],

	SubmittingPatches is simply wrong: our de-facto standard format for
	referencing other commits does not enclose the subject in a pair of
	double-quotes:

	  $ git log v2.24.0 |grep -E '[0-9a-f]{7} \("' |wc -l
	  785
	  $ git log v2.24.0 |grep -E '[0-9a-f]{7} \([^"]' |wc -l
	  2276

	Those double-quotes don't add any value to the references, but they
	result in weird looking references for 1083 of our commits whose
	subject lines happen to end with double-quotes, e.g.:

	  f23a465132 ("hashmap_get{,_from_hash} return "struct hashmap_entry *"", 2019-10-06)

	and without those unnecessary pair of double-quotes we would have
	~3000 more commits whose summary would fit on a single line.

Remove references to the enclosing double-quotes from SubmittingPatches
since our de-facto standard for referencing commits does not actually
use them.

2d92ab32fd rev-parse: make --show-toplevel without a worktree an error
Ever since it was introduced in 7cceca5ccc (Add 'git rev-parse
--show-toplevel' option., 2010-01-12), the --show-toplevel option has
treated a missing working tree as a quiet success: it neither prints a
toplevel path, but nor does it report any kind of error.

While a caller could distinguish this case by looking for an empty
response, the behavior is rather confusing. We're better off complaining
that there is no working tree, as other internal commands would do in
similar cases (e.g., "git status" or any builtin with NEED_WORK_TREE set
would just die()). So let's do the same here.

While we're at it, let's clarify the documentation and add some tests,
both for the new behavior and for the more mundane case (which was not
covered).

information beside the code instead of looking for it in another doc file.

Also documentation/technical/api-gitattributes.txt is removed because the

f83dff60a7 Start to implement a built-in version of git add --interactive
Unlike previous conversions to C, where we started with a built-in
helper, we start this conversion by adding an interception in the
`run_add_interactive()` function when the new opt-in
`add.interactive.useBuiltin` config knob is turned on (or the
corresponding environment variable `GIT_TEST_ADD_I_USE_BUILTIN`), and
calling the new internal API function `run_add_i()` that is implemented
directly in libgit.a.

At this point, the built-in version of `git add -i` only states that it
cannot do anything yet. In subsequent patches/patch series, the
`run_add_i()` function will gain more and more functionality, until it
is feature complete. The whole arc of the conversion can be found in the
PRs #170-175 at https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git.

The "--helper approach" can unfortunately not be used here: on Windows
we face the very specific problem that a `system()` call in
Perl seems to close `stdin` in the parent process when the spawned
process consumes even one character from `stdin`. Which prevents us from
implementing the main loop in C and still trying to hand off to the Perl
script.

The very real downside of the approach we have to take here is that the
test suite won't pass with `GIT_TEST_ADD_I_USE_BUILTIN=true` until the
conversion is complete (the `--helper` approach would have let it pass,
even at each of the incremental conversion steps).

4bd0593e0f test-tool: use 'read-graph' helper
The 'git commit-graph read' subcommand is used in test scripts to check
that the commit-graph contents match the expected data. Mostly, this
helps check the header information and the list of chunks. Users do not
need this information, so move the functionality to a test helper.

d3a8caebf3 doc: improve readability of --rebase-merges in git-rebase
When --preserve-merges was deprecated in 427c3bd28a a sentence
was introduced describing the difference between --rebase-merges and
--preserve-merges which is a little unclear and difficult to parse.
This patch improves readability while retaining original meaning.
