A cache-tree entry with a negative entry count is considered invalid
by the current Git; it records that we do not know the object name
of a tree that would result by writing the directory covered by the
cache-tree as a tree object.
Clarify that any entry with a negative entry count is invalid, but
the implementations must write -1 there. This way, we can later
decide to allow writers to use negative values other than -1 to
encode optional information on such invalidated entries without
harming interoperability; we do not know what will be encoded and
how, so we keep these other negative values as reserved for now.

With the "--index-version <n>" parameter, write the index out in the
specified version. With this, an index file that is written in newer
format (say v4) can be downgraded to be read by older versions of Git.

Found by running this command:
$ git ls-files -z|xargs -0 perl -0777 -n \
-e 'while (/\b(then?|[iao]n|i[fst]|but|f?or|at|and|[dt]o)\s+\1\b/gims)' \
-e ' {' \
-e ' $n = ($` =~ tr/\n/\n/ + 1);' \
-e ' ($v = $&) =~ s/\n/\\n/g;' \
-e ' print "$ARGV:$n:$v\n";' \
-e ' }'
Why not just git grep -E ...?
That wouldn't work then the doubled words are separated by a newline.
This is derived from a Makefile syntax-check rule in gnulib's maint.mk:

Previously GIT_EDITOR was not listed in git(1) "Environment Variables" section,
which could be very confusing to users. Include it in "other" subsection along
with a link to git-var(1), since that is the page that fully describes all
places where editor can be set and also their preference order.
Also, git-var(1) did not say that hardcoded fallback 'vi' may have been changed
at build time. A user could be puzzled if 'nano' pops up even when none of the
mentioned environment vars or config.editor are set. Clarify this.
Ideally, the build system should be changed to reflect the chosen fallback
editor when creating the man pages. Not sure if that is even possible though.

An alphabetic ordered list (a.) is converted to numerical in
the man page (1.) so context comments naming 'a' were confusing,
fix that by not using ordered list notation for 'a' anb 'b' items.

Even though 1.7.9.x series does not open the editor by default
when merging in general, it does do so in one occassion: when
merging an annotated tag. And worse yet, there is no good way
for older scripts to decline this.
Backport the support for GIT_MERGE_AUTOEDIT environment variable
from 1.7.10 track to help those stuck on 1.7.9.x maintenance
track.

We have had these options as harmless no-op for more than 3 years without
officially deprecating them. Let's announce the deprecation and start
warning against their use, but without failing the command just not yet,
so that we can later repurpose the option if we want to in the future.

This adds the 'remaining' command to the documentation of
'git rerere'. This command was added in ac49f5ca (Feb 16 2011;
Martin von Zweigbergk <martin.von.zweigbergk@gmail.com>) but
it was never documented.
Touch up the other rerere commands to reduce noise.

Most of the exact option strings to be typed by end users are
already set in typewriter font by using `--option`, but a few places
used '--option' to call for italics or with no quoting. Uniformly
use `--option`.
Also add a full-stop after a sentence that missed one.
