c3f6b853bf api-parse-options.txt: document OPT_CMDMODE()
OPT_CMDMODE mechanism was introduced in the release of 1.8.5 to actively
notice when multiple "operation mode" options that specify mutually
incompatible operation modes are given.

e379fdf34f merge: refuse to create too cool a merge by default
While it makes sense to allow merging unrelated histories of two
projects that started independently into one, in the way "gitk" was
merged to "git" itself aka "the coolest merge ever", such a merge is
still an unusual event.	 Worse, if somebody creates an independent
history by starting from a tarball of an established project and
sends a pull request to the original project, "git merge" however
happily creates such a merge without any sign of something unusual
is happening.

Teach "git merge" to refuse to create such a merge by default,
unless the user passes a new "--allow-unrelated-histories" option to
tell it that the user is aware that two unrelated projects are
merged.

Because such a "two project merge" is a rare event, a configuration
option to always allow such a merge is not added.

We could add the same option to "git pull" and have it passed
through to underlying "git merge".  I do not have a fundamental
opposition against such a feature, but this commit does not do so
and instead leaves it as low-hanging fruit for others, because such
a "two project merge" would be done after fetching the other project
into some location in the working tree of an existing project and
making sure how well they fit together, it is sufficient to allow a
local merge without such an option pass-through from "git pull" to
"git merge".  Many tests that are updated by this patch does the
pass-through manually by turning:

	git pull something

into its equivalent:

	git fetch something &&
	git merge --allow-unrelated-histories FETCH_HEAD

If somebody is inclined to add such an option, updated tests in this
change need to be adjusted back to:

	git pull --allow-unrelated-histories something

61c2fe0c29 tag: add the option to force signing of annotated tags
The `tag.forcesignannotated` configuration variable makes "git tag"
that would implicitly create an annotated tag to instead create a
signed tag.  For example

	$ git tag -m "This is a message" tag-with-message
	$ git tag -F message-file tag-with-message

would create a signed tag if the configuration variable is in
effect.  To override this from the command line, the user can
explicitly ask for an annotated tag, like so:

	$ git tag -a -m "This is a message" tag-with-message
	$ git tag -a -F message-file tag-with-message

Creation of a light-weight tag, i.e.

	$ git tag lightweight

is not affected.

f66398eb57 pull --rebase: add --[no-]autostash flag
If rebase.autoStash configuration variable is set, there is no way to
override it for "git pull --rebase" from the command line.

Teach "git pull --rebase" the --[no-]autostash command line flag which
overrides the current value of rebase.autoStash, if set. As "git rebase"
understands the --[no-]autostash option, it's just a matter of passing
the option to underlying "git rebase" when "git pull --rebase" is called.

78ec240020 rebase: decouple --exec from --interactive
In the later steps of preparing a patch series I do not want to
edit or reorder the patches any more, but just make sure the
test suite passes after each patch and also to fix breakage
right there if some of the steps fail.  I could run

    EDITOR=true git rebase -i <anchor> -x "make test"

but it would be simpler if it can be spelled like so:

    git rebase <anchor> -x "make test"

e4e5dd94e6 git-svn: loosen config globs limitations
Expand the area of globs applicability for branches and tags
in git-svn. It is now possible to use globs like 'a*e', or 'release_*'.
This allows users to avoid long lines in config like:

	branches = branches/{release_20,release_21,release_22,...}

In favor of:

	branches = branches/release_*

07c7782cc8 Disown ssh+git and git+ssh
Some people argue that these were silly from the beginning (see
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/285590/focus=285601
for example), but we have to support them for compatibility.

That doesn't mean we have to show them in the documentation.  These
were already left out of the main list, but a reference in the main
manpage was left, so remove that.

Also add a note to discourage their use if anybody goes looking for them
in the source code.
