The "--fsck-objects" option of "git index-pack" now can take the
optional parameter to tweak severity of different fsck errors.
* jc/index-pack-fsck-levels:
index-pack: --fsck-objects to take an optional argument for fsck msgs
index-pack: test and document --strict=<msg-id>=<severity>...
The documentation for the --exclude-per-directory option marked it
as deprecated, which confused readers into thinking there may be a
plan to remove it in the future, which was not our intention.
* jc/ls-files-doc-update:
ls-files: avoid the verb "deprecate" for individual options
The labels on conflict markers for the common ancestor, our version,

git-index-pack has a --strict option that can take an optional argument
to provide a list of fsck issues to change their severity.
--fsck-objects does not have such a utility, which would be useful if
one would like to be more lenient or strict on data integrity in a
repository.
Like --strict, allow --fsck-objects to also take a list of fsck msgs to
change the severity.
Remove the "For internal use only" note for --fsck-objects, and document
the option. This won't often be used by the normal end user, but it
turns out it is useful for Git forges like GitLab.

5d477a334a (fsck (receive-pack): allow demoting errors to warnings,
2015-06-22) allowed a list of fsck msg to downgrade to be passed to
--strict. However this is a hidden argument that was not documented nor
tested. Though it is true that most users would not call this option
directly, (nor use index-pack for that matter) it is still useful to
document and test this feature.

When e750951e (ls-files: guide folks to --exclude-standard over
other --exclude* options, 2023-01-13) updated the documentation to
give greater visibility to the `--exclude-standard` option, it marked
the `--exclude-per-directory` option as "deprecated".
While it is technically correct that being deprecated does not
necessarily mean it is planned to be removed later, it seems to
cause confusion to readers, especially when we merely mean
The option Y can be used to achieve the same thing as the option
X much simpler. To those of you who aren't familiar with either
X or Y, we would recommend to use Y when appropriate.
This is especially true for `--exclude-standard` vs the combination
of more granular `--exclude-from` and `--exclude-per-directory`
options. It is true that one common combination of the granular
options can be obtained by just giving the former, but that does not
necessarily mean a more granular control is not necessary.
State the reason why we recommend readers `--exclude-standard` in
the description of `--exclude-per-directory`, instead of saying that
the option is deprecated. Also, spell out the recipe to emulate
what `--exclude-standard` does, so that the users can give it minute
tweaks (like "do the same as Git Porcelain, except I do not want to
read the global exclusion file from core.excludes").

Using advise_if_enabled() to display an advice will automatically
include instructions on how to disable the advice, alongside the main
advice:
hint: use --reapply-cherry-picks to include skipped commits
hint: Disable this message with "git config advice.skippedCherryPicks false"
To do so, we provide a knob which can be used to disable the advice.
But also to tell us the opposite: to show the advice.

'--filter=blob:limit=<n>' was introduced in 25ec7bcac0 (list-objects:
filter objects in traverse_commit_list, 2017-11-21) and later expanded
to bitmaps in 84243da129 (pack-bitmap: implement BLOB_LIMIT filtering,
2020-02-14)
The logic that was introduced in these commits (and that still persists
to this day) omits blobs larger than _or equal_ to n bytes or units.
However, the documentation (Documentation/rev-list-options.txt) states:
>The form '--filter=blob:limit=<n>[kmg]' omits blobs larger than n
bytes or units. n may be zero.
Moreover, the t6113-rev-list-bitmap-filters.sh tests for exactly this
logic, so it seems it is the documentation that needs fixing, not the
code.
This changes the explanation to be similar to
Documentation/git-clone.txt, which is correct.

The error message we show when the user tries to delete a not fully

error: the branch 'foo' is not fully merged.
If you are sure you want to delete it, run 'git branch -D foo'.
Let's move the hint part so that it is displayed using the advice

Introduce a boolean configuration option fetch.all which allows to

overridden by explicitly specifying a remote or by using --no-all.
The behavior for --all is unchanged and calling git-fetch with --all

Additionally, describe the configuration variable in the config
documentation and implement new tests to cover the expected behavior.

Among Git's environment variables, the ones marked as "Boolean"
accept values in a way similar to Boolean configuration variables,
i.e. values like 'yes', 'on', 'true' and positive numbers are
taken as "on" and values like 'no', 'off', 'false' are taken as
"off".
GIT_FLUSH can be used to force Git to use non-buffered I/O when
writing to stdout. It can only accept two values, '1' which causes
Git to flush more often and '0' which makes all output buffered.
Make GIT_FLUSH accept more values besides '0' and '1' by turning it
into a Boolean environment variable, modifying the required logic.
Update the related documentation.
