6c51cb525d trace2: move doc to trace2.h
Move the functions documentation from
Documentation/technical/api-trace2.txt to trace2.h as it's easier for the
developers to find the usage information beside the code instead of looking
for it in another doc file.

Only the functions documentation section is removed from
Documentation/technical/api-trace2.txt as the file is full of
details that seemed more appropriate to be in a separate doc file
as it is, with a link to the doc file added in the trace2.h.
Also the functions doc is removed to avoid having redundandt info which
will be hard to keep syncronized with the documentation in the header file.

f83dff60a7 Start to implement a built-in version of git add --interactive
Unlike previous conversions to C, where we started with a built-in
helper, we start this conversion by adding an interception in the
`run_add_interactive()` function when the new opt-in
`add.interactive.useBuiltin` config knob is turned on (or the
corresponding environment variable `GIT_TEST_ADD_I_USE_BUILTIN`), and
calling the new internal API function `run_add_i()` that is implemented
directly in libgit.a.

At this point, the built-in version of `git add -i` only states that it
cannot do anything yet. In subsequent patches/patch series, the
`run_add_i()` function will gain more and more functionality, until it
is feature complete. The whole arc of the conversion can be found in the
PRs #170-175 at https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git.

The "--helper approach" can unfortunately not be used here: on Windows
we face the very specific problem that a `system()` call in
Perl seems to close `stdin` in the parent process when the spawned
process consumes even one character from `stdin`. Which prevents us from
implementing the main loop in C and still trying to hand off to the Perl
script.

The very real downside of the approach we have to take here is that the
test suite won't pass with `GIT_TEST_ADD_I_USE_BUILTIN=true` until the
conversion is complete (the `--helper` approach would have let it pass,
even at each of the incremental conversion steps).

4bd0593e0f test-tool: use 'read-graph' helper
The 'git commit-graph read' subcommand is used in test scripts to check
that the commit-graph contents match the expected data. Mostly, this
helps check the header information and the list of chunks. Users do not
need this information, so move the functionality to a test helper.

When --preserve-merges was deprecated in 427c3bd28a a sentence

461caf3e8a git-shortlog.txt: include commit limiting options
git-shortlog, like git-log, supports options to filter what commits are
used to generate the log. These options come from git-rev-list, and are
documented in Documentation/rev-list-options.txt. Include those options
in shortlog's documentation.

But since rev-list-options.txt contains some other options that don't
really apply in the context of shortlog (like diff formatting, commit
ordering, etc), add a switch in rev-list-options.txt that excludes those
sections from the shortlog documentation. To be more specific, include
only the "Commit Limiting" and "History Simplification" sections.

08187b4cba rebase -i: support --ignore-date
rebase am already has this flag to "lie" about the author date
by changing it to the committer (current) date. Let's add the same
for interactive machinery.

ba51d2fb24 rebase -i: add --ignore-whitespace flag
There are two backends available for rebasing, viz, the am and the
interactive. Naturally, there shall be some features that are
implemented in one but not in the other. One such flag is
--ignore-whitespace which indicates merge mechanism to treat lines
with only whitespace changes as unchanged. Wire the interactive
rebase to also understand the --ignore-whitespace flag by
translating it to -Xignore-space-change.

3c8d754c4b myfirstcontrib: hint to find gitgitgadget allower
GitGitGadget, a handy tool for converting pull requests against Git into
Git-mailing-list-friendly-patch-emails, requires as anti-spam that all
new users be "/allow"ed by an existing user once before it will do
anything for that new user. While this tutorial explained that
mechanism, it did not give much hint on how to go about finding someone
to allow your new pull request. So, teach our new GitGitGadget user
where to look for someone who can add their name to the list.

The advice in this patch is based on the advice proposed for
GitGitGadget: https://github.com/gitgitgadget/gitgitgadget/pull/138

3ada78de3f myfirstcontrib: add dependency installation step
Indicate that the user needs some dependencies before the build will run
happily on their machine; this dependency list doesn't seem to be made
clear anywhere else in the project documentation. Then, so the user can
be certain any build failures are due to their code and not their
environment, perform a build on a clean checkout of 'master'. Also, move
the note about build parallelization up here, so that it appears next to
the very first build invocation in the tutorial.

4ed5562925 myfirstcontrib: add 'psuh' to command-list.txt
Users can discover commands and their brief usage by running 'git help
git' or 'git help -a'; both of these pages list all available commands
based on the contents of 'command-list.txt'. That means adding a new
command there is an important part of the new command process, and
therefore belongs in the new command tutorial.

Teach new users how to add their command, and include a brief overview
of how to discover which attributes to place on the command in the list.

Since 'git psuh' prints some workspace info, doesn't modify anything,
and is targeted as a user-facing porcelain command, list it as a
'mainporcelain' and 'info' command.

As the usage string is required to generate this documentation, don't
add the command to the list until after the usage string is added to the
tutorial.

8dfb04ae96 update-index: optionally leave skip-worktree entries alone
While `git update-index` mostly ignores paths referring to index entries
whose skip-worktree bit is set, in b4d1690df1 (Teach Git to respect
skip-worktree bit (reading part), 2009-08-20), for reasons that are not
entirely obvious, the `--remove` option was made special: it _does_
remove index entries even if their skip-worktree bit is set.

Seeing as this behavior has been in place for a decade now, it does not
make sense to change it.

However, in preparation for fixing a bug in `git stash` where it
pretends that skip-worktree entries have actually been removed, we need
a mode where `git update-index` leaves all skip-worktree entries alone,
even if the `--remove` option was passed.
