772f8ff826 githooks: discuss Git operations in foreign repositories
Hook authors are periodically caught off-guard by difficult-to-diagnose
errors when their hook invokes Git commands in a repository other than
the local one. In particular, Git environment variables, such as GIT_DIR
and GIT_WORK_TREE, which reference the local repository cause the Git
commands to operate on the local repository rather than on the
repository which the author intended. This is true whether the
environment variables have been set manually by the user or
automatically by Git itself. The same problem crops up when a hook
invokes Git commands in a different worktree of the same repository, as
well.

Recommended best-practice[1,2,3,4,5,6] for avoiding this problem is for
the hook to ensure that Git variables are unset before invoking Git
commands in foreign repositories or other worktrees:

    unset $(git rev-parse --local-env-vars)

However, this advice is not documented anywhere. Rectify this
shortcoming by mentioning it in githooks.txt documentation.

f1c9243fc5 git-rebase.txt: add a note about 'ORIG_HEAD' being overwritten
'ORIG_HEAD' is written at the start of the rebase, but is not guaranteed
to still point to the original branch tip at the end of the rebase.

Indeed, using other commands that write 'ORIG_HEAD' during the rebase,
like splitting a commit using 'git reset HEAD^', will lead to 'ORIG_HEAD'
being overwritten. This causes confusion for some users [1].

Add a note about that in the 'Description' section, and mention the more
robust alternative of using the branch's reflog.

0c514d5766 git-merge.txt: mention 'ORIG_HEAD' in the Description
The fact that 'git merge' writes 'ORIG_HEAD' before performing the merge
is missing from the documentation of the command.

Mention it in the 'Description' section.
