d4316604f8 pack-objects: default to writing bitmap hash-cache
Enabling pack.writebitmaphashcache should always be a performance win.
It costs only 4 bytes per object on disk, and the timings in ae4f07fbcc
(pack-bitmap: implement optional name_hash cache, 2013-12-21) show it
improving fetch and partial-bitmap clone times by 40-50%.

The only reason we didn't enable it by default at the time is that early
versions of JGit's bitmap reader complained about the presence of
optional header bits it didn't understand. But that was changed in
JGit's d2fa3987a (Use bitcheck to check for presence of OPT_FULL option,
2013-10-30), which made it into JGit v3.5.0 in late 2014.

So let's turn this option on by default. It's backwards-compatible with
all versions of Git, and if you are also using JGit on the same
repository, you'd only run into problems using a version that's almost 5
years old.

We'll drop the manual setting from all of our test scripts, including
perf tests. This isn't strictly necessary, but it has two advantages:

  1. If the hash-cache ever stops being enabled by default, our perf
     regression tests will notice.

  2. We can use the modified perf tests to show off the behavior of an
     otherwise unconfigured repo, as shown below.

These are the results of a few of a perf tests against linux.git that
showed interesting results. You can see the expected speedup in 5310.4,
which was noted in ae4f07fbcc. Curiously, 5310.8 did not improve (and
actually got slower), despite seeing the opposite in ae4f07fbcc.
I don't have an explanation for that.

The tests from p5311 did not exist back then, but do show improvements
(a smaller pack due to better deltas, which we found in less time).

1a85b49b87 parse-options: make OPT_ARGUMENT() more useful
`OPT_ARGUMENT()` is intended to keep the specified long option in `argv`
and not to do anything else.

However, it would make a lot of sense for the caller to know whether
this option was seen at all or not. For example, we want to teach `git
difftool` to work outside of any Git worktree, but only when
`--no-index` was specified.

Note: nothing in Git uses OPT_ARGUMENT(). Even worse, looking through
the commit history, one can easily see that nothing even
ever used it, apart from the regression test.

So not only do we make `OPT_ARGUMENT()` more useful, we are also about
to introduce its first real user!

0dbd305fe7 doc/CodingGuidelines: URLs and paths as monospace
The current documentation uses both quotes (italics) and backquotes
(monospace) to render URLs and pathnames, which is inconsistent.
Document a best practice in CodingGuidelines to help reduce
inconsistencies in the future.

We set the best practice to using backquotes, since:

* It is already an established practice. For exemple:

  $ git grep "'[^']/*[^']'" | wc -l
  206

  $ git grep '`[^`]/*[^`]`' | wc -l
  690

  There are false positives on both sides, but after a cursory look at
  the output of both, it doesn't seem the false positive rate is really
  higher in the second case.

  At least, this shows that the existing documentation uses
  inconsistent formatting, and that it would be good to do
  something about it.

* It may be debatable whether path names need to be typed in
  monospace but having them in italics is really unusual.

185f9a0ea0 asciidoctor-extensions: fix spurious space after linkgit
When we render, e.g., "linkgit:gitglossary[7]." with Asciidoctor, we get
"gitglossary(7) ." with a space between the linkgit macro expansion and
the punctuation. We can fix this by dropping the trailing newline after
we've turned `linkgit:foo[bar]` into `<citerefentry>..</citerefentry>`.

The diff produced by `USE_ASCIIDOCTOR=Yes ./doc-diff HEAD^ HEAD` is
almost 6000 lines large and shows how this fixes "git-foo(x) ,", "(see
git-bar(y) )" and so on. One might wonder whether this also turns, e.g.,
"see linkgit:foo[1] for more" into "see foo(1)for more", but no. We get
"...</citerefentry> for more" in the XML, see, e.g., git-am.xml, so the
space ends up in git-am.1 just fine. The same is true for the HTML output.

a15ef383e7 Documentation/Makefile: add missing dependency on asciidoctor-extensions
asciidoctor-extensions.rb has never changed, but when it does -- such as
in the next commit --, it helps if the xml-files depend on it. We're
casting the net a bit too wide here, since we'll be rebuilding even with
AsciiDoc, which won't look at this file. But since this file changes so
rarely, that should be ok. It's better than missing a dependency.

Similarly, most of the html-files are produced directly from ".txt';
make the html-files too depend on asciidoctor-extensions.rb, both
the HTMLified manual pages as well as the user-manual that does use
.xml intermediary.

c91d03aade Documentation/Makefile: add missing xsl dependencies for manpages
These stylesheets very rarely change, but when they do, it really helps
if the manpages depend on them. We're casting the net a bit too wide
here, since we'll only ever use a subset of the stylesheets, but since
these files change so rarely, that should be ok. It's better than
missing a dependency.

Observe that manpage-base-url.xsl is a generated file, so we need to
list it explicitly, besides the `wildcard` expression we're adding here.

cbdeab98e8 commit-tree: utilize parse-options api
Rather than parse options manually, which is both difficult to
read and error prone, parse options supplied to commit-tree
using the parse-options api.

It was discovered that the --no-gpg-sign option was documented
but not implemented in commit 70ddbd7767 (commit-tree: add missing
--gpg-sign flag, 2019-01-19), and the existing implementation
would attempt to translate the option as a tree oid. It was also
suggested earlier in commit 55ca3f99ae (commit-tree: add and document
--no-gpg-sign, 2013-12-13) that commit-tree should be migrated to
utilize the parse-options api, which could help prevent mistakes
like this in the future. Hence this change.

Also update the documentation to better describe that mixing
`-m` and `-F` options will correctly compose commit log messages in the
order in which the options are given.

In the process, mark various strings for translation.

cd8e7593b9 config: document --type=color output is a complete line
Even though the newer "--type=color" option to "git config" is meant
to be upward compatible with the traditional "--get-color" option,
unlike the latter, its output is not an incomplete line that lack
the LF at the end.  That makes it consistent with output of other
types like "git config --type=bool".

Document it, as it sometimes surprises unsuspecting users.

56cb2d30f8 git-reset.txt: clarify documentation
git-reset.txt contained a missing "a" and "wrt". Fix the missing "a" for
correctness and replace "wrt" with "with respect to" so that the
documentation is not so cryptic.

8d8c2a5aef fsck: always compute USED flags for unreachable objects
The --connectivity-only option avoids opening every object, and instead
just marks reachable objects with a flag and compares this to the set
of all objects. This strategy is discussed in more detail in 3e3f8bd608
(fsck: prepare dummy objects for --connectivity-check, 2017-01-17).

This means that we report _every_ unreachable object as dangling.
Whereas in a full fsck, we'd have actually opened and parsed each of
those unreachable objects, marking their child objects with the USED
flag, to mean "this was mentioned by another object". And thus we can
report only the tip of an unreachable segment of the object graph as
dangling.

You can see this difference with a trivial example:

  tree=$(git hash-object -t tree -w /dev/null)
  one=$(echo one | git commit-tree $tree)
  two=$(echo two | git commit-tree -p $one $tree)

Running `git fsck` will report only $two as dangling, but with
--connectivity-only, both commits (and the tree) are reported. Likewise,
using --lost-found would write all three objects.

We can make --connectivity-only work like the normal case by taking a
separate pass over the unreachable objects, parsing them and marking
objects they refer to as USED. That still avoids parsing any blobs,
though we do pay the cost to access any unreachable commits and trees
(which may or may not be noticeable, depending on how many you have).

If neither --dangling nor --lost-found is in effect, then we can skip
this step entirely, just like we do now. That makes "--connectivity-only
--no-dangling" just as fast as the current "--connectivity-only". I.e.,
we do the correct thing always, but you can still tweak the options to
make it faster if you don't care about dangling objects.

df805ed6cf doc/fsck: clarify --connectivity-only behavior
On reading this again, there are two things that were not immediately
clear to me:

  - we do still check links to blobs, even though we don't open the
    blobs themselves

  - we do not do the normal fsck checks, even for non-blob objects we do
    open

Let's reword it to make these points a little more clear.
