0ef1a4e32a hook: add a simple first example
Add a simple example that replaces an outdated example
that was removed. This ensures that there's at the least
a simple example that illustrates what could be done
using the hook just by enabling it.

Also, update the documentation.

b22a307946 hook: cleanup script
Prepare the 'preare-commit-msg' sample script for
upcoming changes. Preparation includes removal of
an example that has outlived it's purpose. The example
is the one that comments the "Conflicts:" part of a
merge commit message. It isn't relevant anymore as
it's done by default since 261f315b ("merge & sequencer:
turn "Conflicts:" hint into a comment", 2014-08-28).

Further update the relevant comments from the sample script
and update the documentation.

01826066b0 doc: correct a mistake in an illustration
The first illustration of the "RECOVERING FROM UPSTREAM REBASE"
section in the 'git-rebase' documentation meant to depict that
there are number of commits on the 'master' branch, but it is
longer than the 'master' branch in the following illustrations
by one commit, even though there is no resetting of 'master' to
lose that commit.

Correct it.

5453b83bdf send-email: --batch-size to work around some SMTP server limit
Some email servers (e.g. smtp.163.com) limit the number emails to be
sent per session (connection) and this will lead to a faliure when
sending many messages.

Teach send-email to disconnect after sending a number of messages
(configurable via the --batch-size=<num> option), wait for a few
seconds (configurable via the --relogin-delay=<seconds> option) and
reconnect, to work around such a limit.

Also add two configuration variables to give these options the default.

Note:

  We will use this as a band-aid for now, but in the longer term, we
  should look at and react to the SMTP error code from the server;
  Xianqiang reports that 450 and 451 are returned by problematic
  servers.

2841e8f81c convert: add "status=delayed" to filter process protocol
Some `clean` / `smudge` filters may require a significant amount of
time to process a single blob (e.g. the Git LFS smudge filter might
perform network requests). During this process the Git checkout
operation is blocked and Git needs to wait until the filter is done to
continue with the checkout.

Teach the filter process protocol, introduced in edcc8581 ("convert: add
filter.<driver>.process option", 2016-10-16), to accept the status
"delayed" as response to a filter request. Upon this response Git
continues with the checkout operation. After the checkout operation Git
calls "finish_delayed_checkout" which queries the filter for remaining
blobs. If the filter is still working on the completion, then the filter
is expected to block. If the filter has completed all remaining blobs
then an empty response is expected.

Git has a multiple code paths that checkout a blob. Support delayed
checkouts only in `clone` (in unpack-trees.c) and `checkout` operations
for now. The optimization is most effective in these code paths as all
files of the tree are processed.

a6d7eb2c7a pull: optionally rebase submodules (remote submodule changes only)
Teach pull to optionally update submodules when '--recurse-submodules'
is provided.  This will teach pull to run 'submodule update --rebase'
when the '--recurse-submodules' and '--rebase' flags are given under
specific circumstances.

On a rebase workflow:
=====================

1. Both sides change the submodule
 ------------------------------
Let's assume the following history in a submodule:

  H---I---J---K---L local branch
       \
        M---N---O---P remote branch

and the following in the superproject (recorded submodule in parens):

  A(H)---B(I)---F(K)---G(L)  local branch
          \
           C(N)---D(N)---E(P) remote branch

In an ideal world this would rebase the submodule and rewrite
the submodule pointers that the superproject points at such that
the superproject looks like

  A(H)---B(I)              F(K')---G(L')  rebased branch
           \                /
           C(N)---D(N)---E(P) remote branch

and the submodule as:

        J---K---L (old dangeling tip)
       /
  H---I               J'---K'---L' rebased branch
       \             /
        M---N---O---P remote branch

And if a conflict arises in the submodule the superproject rebase
would stop at that commit at which the submodule conflict occurs.

Currently a "pull --rebase" in the superproject produces
a merge conflict as the submodule pointer changes are
conflicting and cannot be resolved.

2. Local submodule changes only
 -----------------------
Assuming histories as above, except that the remote branch
would not contain submodule changes, then a result as

  A(H)---B(I)               F(K)---G(L)  rebased branch
           \                /
           C(I)---D(I)---E(I) remote branch

is desire-able. This is what currently happens in rebase.

If the recursive flag is given, the ideal git would
produce a superproject as:

  A(H)---B(I)              F(K')---G(L')  rebased branch (incl. sub rebase!)
           \                /
           C(I)---D(I)---E(I) remote branch

and the submodule as:

        J---K---L (old dangeling tip)
       /
  H---I               J'---K'---L' locally rebased branch
       \             /
        M---N---O---P advanced branch

This patch doesn't address this issue, however
a test is added that this fails up front.

3. Remote submodule changes only
 ----------------------
Assuming histories as in (1) except that the local superproject branch
would not have touched the submodule the rebase already works out in the
superproject with no conflicts:

  A(H)---B(I)               F(P)---G(P)  rebased branch (no sub changes)
           \                 /
           C(N)---D(N)---E(P) remote branch

The recurse flag as presented in this patch would additionally
update the submodule as:

  H---I              J'---K'---L' rebased branch
       \            /
        M---N---O---P remote branch

As neither J, K, L nor J', K', L' are referred to from the superproject,
no rewriting of the superproject commits is required.

Conclusion for 'pull --rebase --recursive'
 -----------------------------------------
If there are no local superproject changes it is sufficient to call
"submodule update --rebase" as this produces the desired results. In case
of conflicts, the behavior is the same as in 'submodule update --recursive'
which is assumed to be sane.

This patch implements (3) only.

On a merge workflow:
====================

We'll start off with the same underlying DAG as in (1) in the rebase
workflow. So in an ideal world a 'pull --merge --recursive' would
produce this:

  H---I---J---K---L----X
       \              /
        M---N---O---P

with X as the new merge-commit in the submodule and the superproject
as:

  A(H)---B(I)---F(K)---G(L)---Y(X)
          \                  /
           C(N)---D(N)---E(P)

However modifying the submodules on the fly is not supported in git-merge
such that Y(X) is not easy to produce in a single patch. In fact git-merge
doesn't know about submodules at all.

However when at least one side does not contain commits touching the
submodule at all, then we do not need to perform the merge for the
submodule but a fast-forward can be done via checking out either L or P
in the submodule.  This strategy is implemented in 68d03e4a6e (Implement
automatic fast-forward merge for submodules, 2010-07-07) already, so
to align with the rebase behavior we need to also update the worktree
of the submodule.

d48034551a submodules: overhaul documentation
This patch aims to detangle (a) the usage of `git-submodule`
from (b) the concept of submodules and (c) how the actual
implementation looks like, such as where they are configured
and (d) what the best practices are.

To do so, move the conceptual parts of the 'git-submodule'
man page to a new man page gitsubmodules(7). This new page
is just like gitmodules(5), gitattributes(5), gitcredentials(7),
gitnamespaces(7), gittutorial(7), which introduce a concept
rather than explaining a specific command.

description and the short synopsis line. Fix it.

Remove the redundant mentioning of the 'repository' argument
being mandatory.

The text is hard to read because of back-references, so remove
those.

Replace the word "humanish" by "canonical" as that conveys better
what we do to guess the path.

While at it, quote all occurrences of '.gitmodules' as that is an
important file in the submodule context, also link to it on its
first mention.

52d59cc645 branch: add a --copy (-c) option to go with --move (-m)
Add the ability to --copy a branch and its reflog and configuration,
this uses the same underlying machinery as the --move (-m) option
except the reflog and configuration is copied instead of being moved.

This is useful for e.g. copying a topic branch to a new version,
e.g. work to work-2 after submitting the work topic to the list, while
preserving all the tracking info and other configuration that goes
with the branch, and unlike --move keeping the other already-submitted
branch around for reference.

Like --move, when the source branch is the currently checked out
branch the HEAD is moved to the destination branch. In the case of
--move we don't really have a choice (other than remaining on a
detached HEAD) and in order to keep the functionality consistent, we
are doing it in similar way for --copy too.

The most common usage of this feature is expected to be moving to a
new topic branch which is a copy of the current one, in that case
moving to the target branch is what the user wants, and doesn't
unexpectedly behave differently than --move would.

One outstanding caveat of this implementation is that:

    git checkout maint &&

Will check out 'maint' instead of 'master'. This is because the @{-N}
feature (or its -1 shorthand "-") relies on HEAD reflogs created by
the checkout command, so in this case we'll checkout maint instead of
master, as the user might expect. What to do about that is left to a
future change.
