"%C(color name)" in the pretty print format always produced ANSI
color escape codes, which was an early design mistake. They now
honor the configuration (e.g. "color.ui = never") and also tty-ness

The documentation for pack-objects describes that it creates "a packed
archive of objects", which is confusing because it may create multiple
packs if --max-pack-size is set. Update the documentation to clarify
this, and explaining in which cases such a feature would be useful.

`*` in format strings means peeling of tag objects so that object field
names refer to the object that the tag object points at, instead of the
tag object itself.
Currently, this is documented using grammar that is clearly inspired by
classical latin, though missing more than an article in order to be
classical english.
Try and straighten that explanation out a bit.

Various commands list refs and allow to use a format string for the
output that interpolates from the ref as well as the object it points
at (for-each-ref; branch and tag in list mode).
Currently, the documentation talks about interpolating from the object.
This is confusing because a ref points to an object but not vice versa,
so the object cannot possible know %(refname), for example. Thus, this is
wrong independent of refs being objects (one day, maybe) or not.
Change the wording to make this clearer (and distinguish it from formats
for the log family).

The previous patch taught `git tag` to only respect `pager.tag` in
list-mode. That patch left the default value of `pager.tag` at "off".
After that patch, it makes sense to let the default value be "on"
instead, since it will help with listing many tags, but will not hurt
users of `git tag -a` as it would have before. Make that change. Update
documentation and tests.

Using, e.g., `git -c pager.tag tag -a new-tag` results in errors such as
"Vim: Warning: Output is not to a terminal" and a garbled terminal.
Someone who makes use of both `git tag -a` and `git tag -l` will
probably not set `pager.tag`, so that `git tag -a` will actually work,
at the cost of not paging output of `git tag -l`.
Use the mechanisms introduced in two earlier patches to ignore
`pager.tag` in git.c and let the `git tag` builtin handle it on its own.
Only respect `pager.tag` when running in list-mode.
There is a window between where the pager is started before and after
this patch. This means that early errors can behave slightly different
before and after this patch. Since operation-parsing has to happen
inside this window, this can be seen with `git -c pager.tag="echo pager
is used" tag -l --unknown-option`. This change in paging-behavior should
be acceptable since it only affects erroneous usages.
Update the documentation and update tests.
If an alias is used to run `git tag -a`, then `pager.tag` will still be
respected. Document this known breakage. It will be fixed in a later
commit. Add a similar test for `-l`, which works.

The paragraph that describes the 'scissors' cleanup mode of
'commit' had the 'cut-line' in the middle of a sentence. This
made it possible for the line to get wrapped on smaler windows.
This shouldn't be the case as it makes it hard for the user to
understand the structure of the cut-line.
Reformat the pragraph to make the 'cut-line' stand on a line of
it's own thus distinguishing it from the rest of the paragraph.
This further prevents it from getting wrapped to some extent.
