The former wording implied that --no-commit would always cause the
merge operation to "pause" and allow the user to make further changes
and/or provide a special commit message for the merge commit. This
is not the case for fast-forward merges, as there is no merge commit
to create. Without a merge commit, there is no place where it makes
sense to "stop the merge and allow the user to tweak changes"; doing
that would require a full rebase of some sort.
Since users may be unaware of whether their branches have diverged or
not, modify the wording to correctly address fast-forward cases as well
and suggest using --no-ff with --no-commit if the point is to ensure
that the merge stops before completing.

Add a post-index-change hook that is invoked after the index is written in
do_write_locked_index().
This hook is meant primarily for notification, and cannot affect
the outcome of git commands that trigger the index write.
The hook is passed a flag to indicate whether the working directory was
updated or not and a flag indicating if a skip-worktree bit could have
changed. These flags enable the hook to optimize its response to the
index change notification.

The combined diff format for merges will only list one filename, even if
rename or copy detection is active. For example, with raw format one
might see:
::100644 100644 100644 fabadb8cc95eb04866510 MM describe.c
::100755 100755 100755 52b7a2d 6d1ac04 d2ac7d7 RM bar.sh
::100644 100644 100644 e07d6c5 9042e82 ee91881 RR phooey.c
This doesn't let us know what the original name of bar.sh was in the
first parent, and doesn't let us know what either of the original names
of phooey.c were in either of the parents. In contrast, for non-merge
commits, raw format does provide original filenames (and a rename score
to boot). In order to also provide original filenames for merge
commits, add a --combined-all-paths option (which must be used with
either -c or --cc, and is likely only useful with rename or copy
detection active) so that we can print tab-separated filenames when
renames are involved. This transforms the above output to:
::100644 100644 100644 fabadb8cc95eb04866510 MM desc.c desc.c desc.c
::100755 100755 100755 52b7a2d 6d1ac04 d2ac7d7 RM foo.sh bar.sh bar.sh
::100644 100644 100644 e07d6c5 9042e82 ee91881 RR fooey.c fuey.c phooey.c
Further, in patch format, this changes the from/to headers so that
instead of just having one "from" header, we get one for each parent.
For example, instead of having
--- a/phooey.c
+++ b/phooey.c
we would see
--- a/fooey.c
--- a/fuey.c
+++ b/phooey.c

agree with deprecating the current behavior in favor of the rescheduling

But the consensus on the Git mailing list was that it would make sense
to show a warning in the near future, and flip the default
rebase.rescheduleFailedExec to reschedule failed `exec` commands by
default. See e.g.

This reverts 1495ff7da5 ("checkout: introduce checkout.overlayMode

option.
The option was originally introduced to give users the option to make
the new no-overlay behaviour the default. However users may be using
'git checkout' in scripts, even though it is porcelain. Users setting
the option to false may actually end up accidentally breaking scripts.
With the introduction of a new subcommand that will make the behaviour
the default, the config option will not be needed anymore anyway.
Revert the commit and remove the config option, so we don't risk
breaking scripts.

`usage` tries to call $0, which might very well be "./doc-diff", so if
we `cd_to_toplevel` before calling `usage`, we'll end with an error to
the effect of "./doc-diff: not found" rather than a friendly `doc-diff
-h` output. This regressed in ad51743007 ("doc-diff: add --clean mode to
remove temporary working gunk", 2018-08-31) where we moved the call to
`cd_to_toplevel` to much earlier.
A general fix might be to teach git-sh-setup to save away the absolute
path for $0 and then use that, instead. I'm not aware of any portable
way of doing that, see, e.g., d2addc3b96 ("t7800: readlink may not be
available", 2016-05-31).
An early version of this patch moved `cd_to_toplevel` back to where it
was before ad51743007 and taught the "--clean" code to cd on its own.
But let's try instead to get rid of the cd-ing entirely. We don't really
need it and we can work with absolute paths instead. There's just one
use of $PWD that we need to adjust by simply dropping it.

Furthermore, the "git diff-tree --abbrev 5319e4" example shown here

The author.email, author.name, committer.email and committer.name
settings are analogous to the GIT_AUTHOR_* and GIT_COMMITTER_*
environment variables, but for the git config system. This allows them
to be set separately for each repository.
Git supports setting different authorship and committer
information with environment variables. However, environment variables
are set in the shell, so if different authorship and committer
information is needed for different repositories an external tool is
required.
This adds support to git config for author.email, author.name,
committer.email and committer.name settings so this information
can be set per repository.
Also, it generalizes the fmt_ident function so it can handle author vs
committer identification.

Users who want UTF-16 files in the working tree set the .gitattributes
like this:
test.txt working-tree-encoding=UTF-16
The unicode standard itself defines 3 allowed ways how to encode UTF-16.
The following 3 versions convert all back to 'g' 'i' 't' in UTF-8:
a) UTF-16, without BOM, big endian:
$ printf "\000g\000i\000t" | iconv -f UTF-16 -t UTF-8 | od -c
0000000 g i t
b) UTF-16, with BOM, little endian:
$ printf "\377\376g\000i\000t\000" | iconv -f UTF-16 -t UTF-8 | od -c
0000000 g i t
c) UTF-16, with BOM, big endian:
$ printf "\376\377\000g\000i\000t" | iconv -f UTF-16 -t UTF-8 | od -c
0000000 g i t
Git uses libiconv to convert from UTF-8 in the index into ITF-16 in the
working tree.
After a checkout, the resulting file has a BOM and is encoded in "UTF-16",
in the version (c) above.
This is what iconv generates, more details follow below.
iconv (and libiconv) can generate UTF-16, UTF-16LE or UTF-16BE:
d) UTF-16
$ printf 'git' | iconv -f UTF-8 -t UTF-16 | od -c
0000000 376 377 \0 g \0 i \0 t
e) UTF-16LE
$ printf 'git' | iconv -f UTF-8 -t UTF-16LE | od -c
0000000 g \0 i \0 t \0
f) UTF-16BE
$ printf 'git' | iconv -f UTF-8 -t UTF-16BE | od -c
0000000 \0 g \0 i \0 t
There is no way to generate version (b) from above in a Git working tree,
but that is what some applications need.
(All fully unicode aware applications should be able to read all 3 variants,
but in practise we are not there yet).
When producing UTF-16 as an output, iconv generates the big endian version
with a BOM. (big endian is probably chosen for historical reasons).
iconv can produce UTF-16 files with little endianess by using "UTF-16LE"
as encoding, and that file does not have a BOM.
Not all users (especially under Windows) are happy with this.
Some tools are not fully unicode aware and can only handle version (b).
Today there is no way to produce version (b) with iconv (or libiconv).
Looking into the history of iconv, it seems as if version (c) will
be used in all future iconv versions (for compatibility reasons).
Solve this dilemma and introduce a Git-specific "UTF-16LE-BOM".
libiconv can not handle the encoding, so Git pick it up, handles the BOM
and uses libiconv to convert the rest of the stream.
(UTF-16BE-BOM is added for consistency)
