Teach gc to stop traversal at promisor objects, and to leave promisor
packfiles alone. This has the effect of only repacking non-promisor
packfiles, and preserves the distinction between promisor packfiles and
non-promisor packfiles.

Teach rev-list to support termination of an object traversal at any
object from a promisor remote (whether one that the local repo also has,
or one that the local repo knows about because it has another promisor
object that references it).
This will be used subsequently in gc and in the connectivity check used
by fetch.
For efficiency, if an object is referenced by a promisor object, and is
in the local repo only as a non-promisor object, object traversal will
not stop there. This is to avoid building the list of promisor object
references.
(In list-objects.c, the case where obj is NULL in process_blob() and
process_tree() do not need to be changed because those happen only when
there is a conflict between the expected type and the existing object.
If the object doesn't exist, an object will be synthesized, which is
fine.)

git-clone and git-checkout both invoke the post-checkout hook following
a successful checkout, yet git-worktree neglects to do so even though it
too "checks out" the worktree. Fix this oversight.
Implementation note: The newly-created worktree may reference a branch
or be detached. In the latter case, a commit lookup is performed, though
the result is used only in a boolean sense to (a) determine if the
commit actually exists, and (b) assign either the branch name or commit
ID to HEAD. Since the post-commit hook needs to know the ID of the
checked-out commit, the lookup now needs to be done in all cases, rather
than only when detached. Consequently, a new boolean is needed to handle
(b) since the lookup result itself can no longer perform that role.

When a graphical GIT_EDITOR is spawned by a Git command that opens
and waits for user input (e.g. "git rebase -i"), then the editor window
might be obscured by other windows. The user might be left staring at
the original Git terminal window without even realizing that s/he needs
to interact with another window before Git can proceed. To this user Git
appears hanging.
Print a message that Git is waiting for editor input in the original
terminal and get rid of it when the editor returns, if the terminal
supports erasing the last line. Also, make sure that our message is
terminated with a whitespace so that any message the editor may show
upon starting up will be kept separate from our message.
Power users might not want to see this message or their editor might
already print such a message (e.g. emacsclient). Allow these users to
suppress the message by disabling the "advice.waitingForEditor" config.
The standard advise() function is not used here as it would always add
a newline which would make deleting the message harder.

Currently 'git worktree add <path>' creates a new branch named after the
basename of the <path>, that matches the HEAD of whichever worktree we
were on when calling "git worktree add <path>".
It's sometimes useful to have 'git worktree add <path> behave more like
the dwim machinery in 'git checkout <new-branch>', i.e. check if the new
branch name, derived from the basename of the <path>, uniquely matches
the branch name of a remote-tracking branch, and if so check out that
branch and set the upstream to the remote-tracking branch.
Add a new --guess-remote option that enables exactly that behaviour.

There have been a few complaints on the mailing list that git-clone doesn't
respect the `submodule.recurse` setting, which every other command (that
potentially knows how to deal with submodules) respects. In case of clone
this is not beneficial to respect as the user may not want to obtain all
submodules (assuming a pathspec of '.').
Improve the documentation such that the pathspec is mentioned in the
synopsis to alleviate the confusion around the submodule recursion flag
in git-clone.
While at it clarify that the option can be given multiple times for complex
pathspecs.

Introduce fetch-object, providing the ability to fetch one object from a
promisor remote.
This uses fetch-pack. To do this, the transport mechanism has been
updated with 2 flags, "from-promisor" to indicate that the resulting
pack comes from a promisor remote (and thus should be annotated as such
by index-pack), and "no-dependents" to indicate that only the objects
themselves need to be fetched (but fetching additional objects is
nevertheless safe).
Whenever "no-dependents" is used, fetch-pack will refrain from using any
object flags, because it is most likely invoked as part of a dynamic
object fetch by another Git command (which may itself use object flags).
An alternative to this is to leave fetch-pack alone, and instead update
the allocation of flags so that fetch-pack's flags never overlap with
any others, but this will end up shrinking the number of flags available
to nearly every other Git command (that is, every Git command that
accesses objects), so the approach in this commit was used instead.
This will be tested in a subsequent commit.

@{-N} is a syntax for the N-th last "checkout" and not the N-th

DOES lead to a "detached HEAD" state. This can also be ensured by

a commit, 2014-01-19) which clearly specifies how @{-N} can be used

If you come to the documentation thinking "I do not want Git
to take any locks for my background processes", then you may
easily run across "--no-optional-locks" in git.txt.
But it's quite reasonable to hit a specific instance of the
problem: you have "git status" running in the background,
and you notice that it causes lock contention with other
processes. So you look in git-status.txt to see if there is
a way to disable it, but there's no mention of the flag.
Let's add a short note mentioning that status does indeed
touch the index (and why), with a pointer to the global
option. That can point users in the right direction and help
them make a more informed decision about what they're
disabling.
