The git command "commit" supports a number of hooks that support
changing the behavior of the commit command. The git-p4.py program only
has one existing hook, "p4-pre-submit". This command occurs early in
the process. There are no hooks in the process flow for modifying
the P4 changelist text programmatically.
Adds 3 new hooks to git-p4.py to the submit option.
The new hooks are:
* p4-prepare-changelist - Execute this hook after the changelist file
has been created. The hook will be executed even if the
--prepare-p4-only option is set. This hook ignores the --no-verify
option in keeping with the existing behavior of git commit.
* p4-changelist - Execute this hook after the user has edited the
changelist. Do not execute this hook if the user has selected the
--prepare-p4-only option. This hook will honor the --no-verify,
following the conventions of git commit.
* p4-post-changelist - Execute this hook after the P4 submission process
has completed successfully. This hook takes no parameters and is
executed regardless of the --no-verify option. It's return value will
not be checked.
The calls to the new hooks: p4-prepare-changelist, p4-changelist,
and p4-post-changelist should all be called inside the try-finally
block.

When using the sparse-checkout feature, a user may want to incrementally
grow their sparse-checkout pattern set. Allow adding patterns using a
new 'add' subcommand. This is not much different from the 'set'
subcommand, because we still want to allow the '--stdin' option and
interpret inputs as directories when in cone mode and patterns
otherwise.
When in cone mode, we are growing the cone. This may actually reduce the
set of patterns when adding directory A when A/B is already a directory
in the cone. Test the different cases: siblings, parents, ancestors.
When not in cone mode, we can only assume the patterns should be
appended to the sparse-checkout file.

When 46af44b07d (pull --rebase=<type>: allow single-letter abbreviations
for the type, 2018-08-04) landed in Git, it had the side effect that
not only 'pull --rebase=<type>' accepted the single-letter abbreviations
but also the 'pull.rebase' and 'branch.<name>.rebase' configurations.
However, 'git remote rename' did not honor these single-letter
abbreviations when reading the 'branch.*.rebase' configurations.
We now document the single-letter abbreviations and both code places
share a common function to parse the values of 'git pull --rebase=*',
'pull.rebase', and 'branches.*.rebase'.
The only functional change is the handling of the `branch_info::rebase`
value. Before it was an unsigned enum, thus the truth value could be
checked with `branch_info::rebase != 0`. But `enum rebase_type` is
signed, thus the truth value must now be checked with
`branch_info::rebase >= REBASE_TRUE`

When a user queries config values with --show-origin, often it's
difficult to determine what the actual "scope" (local, global, etc.) of
a given value is based on just the origin file.
Teach 'git config' the '--show-scope' option to print the scope of all
displayed config values. Note that we should never see anything of
"submodule" scope as that is only ever used by submodule-config.c when

In this paragraph, we have a few instances of the '^' character, which
we give as "\^". This renders well with AsciiDoc ("^"), but Asciidoctor
renders it literally as "\^". Dropping the backslashes renders fine
with Asciidoctor, but not AsciiDoc...
An earlier version of this patch used "{caret}" instead of "^", which
avoided these escaping problems. The rendering was still so-so, though
-- these expressions end up set as normal text, similarly to when one
provides, e.g., computer code in the middle of running text, without
properly marking it with `backticks` to be monospaced.
As noted by Jeff King, this suggests actually wrapping these
expressions in backticks, setting them in monospace.
The lone "5" could be left as is or wrapped as `5`. Spell it out as
"five" instead -- this generally looks better anyway for small numbers
in the middle of text like this.

There are lots of places in 'commit-graph.h' where a function either has
(or almost has) a full 'struct object_directory *', accesses '->path',
and then throws away the rest of the struct.
This can cause headaches when comparing the locations of object
directories across alternates (e.g., in the case of deciding if two
commit-graph layers can be merged). These paths are normalized with
'normalize_path_copy()' which mitigates some comparison issues, but not
all [1].
Replace usage of 'char *object_dir' with 'odb->path' by storing a
'struct object_directory *' in the 'write_commit_graph_context'
structure. This is an intermediate step towards getting rid of all path
normalization in 'commit-graph.c'.
Resolving a user-provided '--object-dir' argument now requires that we
compare it to the known alternates for equality. Prior to this patch,
an unknown '--object-dir' argument would silently exit with status zero.
This can clearly lead to unintended behavior, such as verifying
commit-graphs that aren't in a repository's own object store (or one of
its alternates), or causing a typo to mask a legitimate commit-graph
verification failure. Make this error non-silent by 'die()'-ing when the
given '--object-dir' does not match any known alternate object store.
[1]: In my testing, for example, I can get one side of the commit-graph
code to fill object_dir with "./objects" and the other with just
"objects".

git --git-dir <path> is a bit confusing and sometimes doesn't work as
the user would expect it to.
For example, if the user runs `git --git-dir=<path> status`, git
will skip the repository discovery algorithm and will assign the
work tree to the user's current work directory unless otherwise
specified. When this assignment is wrong, the output will not match
the user's expectations.
This patch updates the documentation to make it clearer.

Since grep learned to recurse into submodules in 0281e487fd
(grep: optionally recurse into submodules, 2016-12-16),
using --recurse-submodules along with --no-index makes Git
die().
This is unfortunate because if submodule.recurse is set in a user's
~/.gitconfig, invoking `git grep --no-index` either inside or outside
a Git repository results in
fatal: option not supported with --recurse-submodules
Let's allow using these options together, so that setting submodule.recurse
globally does not prevent using `git grep --no-index`.
Using `--recurse-submodules` should not have any effect if `--no-index`
is used inside a repository, as Git will recurse into the checked out
submodule directories just like into regular directories.

Users in a wide variety of situations find themselves with HTTP push
problems. Oftentimes these issues are due to antivirus software,
filtering proxies, or other man-in-the-middle situations; other times,
they are due to simple unreliability of the network.
However, a common solution to HTTP push problems found online is to
increase http.postBuffer. This works for none of the aforementioned
situations and is only useful in a small, highly restricted number of
cases: essentially, when the connection does not properly support
HTTP/1.1.
Document when raising this value is appropriate and what it actually
does, and discourage people from using it as a general solution for push
problems, since it is not effective there.
