"git diff --stat -w" showed 0-line changes for paths whose changes
were only whitespaces, which was not intuitive.  We now omit such
paths from the stat output.

A handful of places in in-tree code still relied on being able to
execute the git subcommands, especially built-ins, in "git-foo"
form, which have been corrected.

"git rebase -i" learns a bit more options.

887952b8 ("fetch: optionally allow disabling FETCH_HEAD update",
2020-08-18) introduced the ability to disable writing to FETCH_HEAD
during fetch, but did not suppress the "<source> -> FETCH_HEAD" message
when this ability is used. This message is misleading in this case,
because FETCH_HEAD is not written. Also, because "fetch" is used to
lazy-fetch missing objects in a partial clone, this significantly
clutters up the output in that case since the objects to be fetched are
potentially numerous.

Therefore, suppress this message when --no-write-fetch-head is passed
(but not when --dry-run is set).

Code simplification by removing ineffective optimization.

* ps/ref-transaction-hook:
  refs: remove lookup cache for reference-transaction hook

Feeding "$ZERO_OID" to "git log --ignore-missing --stdin", and
running "git log --ignore-missing $ZERO_OID" fell back to start
digging from HEAD; it has been corrected to become a no-op, like
"git log --tags=no-tag-matches-this-pattern" does.

  revision: set rev_input_given in handle_revision_arg()

Error message update.

  ident: say whose identity is missing when giving user.name hint

The description of --cached/--index options in "git apply --help"
has been updated.

* rp/apply-cached-doc:
  git-apply.txt: update descriptions of --cached, --index

"git restore/checkout --no-overlay" with wildcarded pathspec
mistakenly removed matching paths in subdirectories, which has been
corrected.

* rs/checkout-no-overlay-pathspec-fix:
  checkout, restore: make pathspec recursive

Finishing touches.

Preliminary code clean-up before introducing "negative refspec".

* jk/refspecs-cleanup:
  refspec: make sure stack refspec_item variables are zeroed
  refspec: fix documentation referring to refspec_item

Accesses to two pseudorefs have been updated to properly use ref
API.

* hn/refs-pseudorefs:
  sequencer: treat REVERT_HEAD as a pseudo ref
  builtin/commit: suggest update-ref for pseudoref removal
  sequencer: treat CHERRY_PICK_HEAD as a pseudo ref
  refs: make refs_ref_exists public

Long ago, we decided to use 3 threads by default when running the
index-pack task in parallel, which has been adjusted a bit upwards.

* jk/index-pack-w-more-threads:
  index-pack: adjust default threading cap
  p5302: count up to online-cpus for thread tests
  p5302: disable thread-count parameter tests by default

The parser for "git for-each-ref --format=..." was too loose when
parsing the "%(trailers...)" atom, and forgot that "trailers" and
"trailers:<modifiers>" are the only two allowed forms, which has
been corrected.

* hv/ref-filter-trailers-atom-parsing-fix:
  ref-filter: 'contents:trailers' show error if `:` is missing
  t6300: unify %(trailers) and %(contents:trailers) tests

Updates into a lazy/partial clone with a submodule did not work
well with transfer.fsckobjects set.

* jt/promisor-pack-fix:
  fetch-pack: in partial clone, pass --promisor

The output from the "diff" family of the commands had abbreviated
object names of blobs involved in the patch, but its length was not
affected by the --abbrev option.  Now it is.

* dd/diff-customize-index-line-abbrev:
  diff: index-line: respect --abbrev in object's name
  t4013: improve diff-post-processor logic

Aesthetic fix to a CI configuration file.

* am/ci-wsfix:
  ci: fix inconsistent indentation

The environment variable `GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR`, and the configuration
variable 'sequence.editor', which were added in 821881d8 ("rebase -i":
support special-purpose editor to edit insn sheet, 2011-10-17), are
mentioned in the `git config` man page but not anywhere else.

Include `config/sequencer.txt` in `git-rebase.txt`, so that both the
environment variable and the configuration setting are mentioned there.

Also, add `GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR` to the list of environment variables
in `git(1)`.

Because the hook runs after the main checkout operation finishes, it
cannot affect what branch will be the current branch, what paths are
updated in the working tree, etc., which was described as "cannot
affect the outcome of 'checkout'".

However, the exit status of the hook is used as the exit status of
the 'checkout' command and is observable by anybody who spawned the
'checkout', which was missing from the documentation.  Fix this.

The FETCH_HEAD is now always read from the filesystem regardless of
the ref backend in use, as its format is much richer than the
normal refs, and written directly by "git fetch" as a plain file..

* hn/refs-fetch-head-is-special:
  refs: read FETCH_HEAD and MERGE_HEAD generically
  refs: move gitdir into base ref_store
  refs: fix comment about submodule ref_stores
  refs: split off reading loose ref data in separate function

Command line completion (in contrib/) usually omits redundant,
deprecated and/or dangerous options from its output; it learned to
optionally include all of them.

As child_process structure has an embedded strvec args for
formulating the command line, let's use it instead of using
an out-of-line argv[] whose length needs to be maintained
correctly.

Also, when spawning a git subcommand, omit it from the command list
and instead use the .git_cmd bit in the child_process structure.

The child_process structure has an embedded strvec for formulating
the command line argument list these days, but code that predates
the wide use of it prepared a separate char *argv[] array and
manually set the child_process.argv pointer point at it.

Teach these old-style code to lose the separate argv[] array.
