We tend to quote command line examples using `` to set them in a
monospace font. The immediate motivation for this patch is to get rid of
another instance of \--. As noted in the previous commits, \-- has a
tendency of rendering badly. Here, it renders ok (at least with
AsciiDoc 8.6.9 and Asciidoctor 1.5.4), but by getting rid of this
instance, we reduce the chances of \-- cropping up in places where it
matters more.

In git-log.txt, we have an instance of \--, which is known to sometimes
render badly. This one is even worse than normal though, since ``\-- ''
(with or without that trailing space) appears to be entirely broken,
both in HTML and manpages, both with AsciiDoc (version 8.6.9) and
Asciidoctor (version 1.5.4).
Further down in git-log.txt we have a ``--'', which renders good. In
git-shortlog.txt, we use "\-- " (including the quotes and the space),
which happens to look fairly good. I failed to find any other similar
instances. So all in all, we quote a double-dash in three different
places and do it differently each time, with various degrees of success.
Switch all of these to `--`. This sets the double-dash in monospace and
matches what we usually do with example command line usages and options.
Note that we drop the trailing space as well, since `-- ` does not
render well. These should still be clear enough since just a few lines
above each instance, the space is clearly visible in a longer context.

Commit 1c262bb7b (doc: convert \--option to --option, 2015-05-13)
explains that we used to need to write \--option to play well with older
versions of AsciiDoc, but that we do not support such versions anymore
anyway, and that Asciidoctor literally renders \--.
With [\--], which is used to denote the optional separator between
revisions and paths, Asciidoctor renders the backslash literally.
Change all [\--] to [--]. This changes nothing for AsciiDoc version
8.6.9, but is an improvement for Asciidoctor version 1.5.4.
We use double-dashes in several list entries (\--::). In my testing, it
appears that we do need to use the backslash there, so leave those.

Rather than using a backslash in \--foo, with or without ''-quoting,
write `--foo` for better rendering. As explained in commit 1c262bb7b
(doc: convert \--option to --option, 2015-05-13), the backslash is not
needed for the versions of AsciiDoc that we support, but is rendered
literally by Asciidoctor.

Many commands support a "--force" option, frequently abbreviated as
"-f", however, "git worktree remove"'s hand-rolled OPT_BOOL forgets
to recognize the short form, despite git-worktree.txt documenting
"-f" as supported. Replace OPT_BOOL with OPT__FORCE, which provides
"-f" for free, and makes 'remove' consistent with 'add' option

pack-objects could be a big memory hog especially on large repos,
everybody knows that. The suggestion to stick a .keep file on the
giant base pack to avoid this problem is also known for a long time.
Recent patches add an option to do just this, but it has to be either
configured or activated manually. This patch lets `git gc --auto`
activate this mode automatically when it thinks `repack -ad` will use
a lot of memory and start affecting the system due to swapping or
flushing OS cache.
gc --auto decides to do this based on an estimation of pack-objects
memory usage, which is quite accurate at least for the heap part, and
whether that fits in half of system memory (the assumption here is for
desktop environment where there are many other applications running).
This mechanism only kicks in if gc.bigBasePackThreshold is not configured.
If it is, it is assumed that the user already knows what they want.

This config allows us to keep <N> packs back if their size is larger
than a limit. But if this N >= gc.autoPackLimit, we may have a
problem. We are supposed to reduce the number of packs after a
threshold because it affects performance.
We could tell the user that they have incompatible gc.bigPackThreshold
and gc.autoPackLimit, but it's kinda hard when 'git gc --auto' runs in
background. Instead let's fall back to the next best stategy: try to
reduce the number of packs anyway, but keep the base pack out. This
reduces the number of packs to two and hopefully won't take up too
much resources to repack (the assumption still is the base pack takes
most resources to handle).

The --keep-largest-pack option is not very convenient to use because
you need to tell gc to do this explicitly (and probably on just a few
large repos).
Add a config key that enables this mode when packs larger than a limit
are found. Note that there's a slight behavior difference compared to
--keep-largest-pack: all packs larger than the threshold are kept, not
just the largest one.

This adds a new repack mode that combines everything into a secondary
pack, leaving the largest pack alone.
This could help reduce memory pressure. On linux-2.6.git, valgrind
massif reports 1.6GB heap in "pack all" case, and 535MB in "pack
all except the base pack" case. We save roughly 1GB memory by
excluding the base pack.
This should also lower I/O because we don't have to rewrite a giant
pack every time (e.g. for linux-2.6.git that's a 1.4GB pack file)..
PS. The use of string_list here seems overkill, but we'll need it in
the next patch...

We allow to keep existing packs by having companion .keep files. This
is helpful when a pack is permanently kept. In the next patch, git-gc
just wants to keep a pack temporarily, for one pack-objects
run. git-gc can use --keep-pack for this use case.
A note about why the pack_keep field cannot be reused and
pack_keep_in_core has to be added. This is about the case when
--keep-pack is specified together with either --keep-unreachable or
--unpack-unreachable, but --honor-pack-keep is NOT specified.
In this case, we want to exclude objects from the packs specified on
command line, not from ones with .keep files. If only one bit flag is
used, we have to clear pack_keep on pack files with the .keep file.
But we can't make any assumption about unreachable objects in .keep
packs. If "pack_keep" field is false for .keep packs, we could
potentially pull lots of unreachable objects into the new pack, or
unpack them loose. The safer approach is ignore all packs with either
.keep file or --keep-pack.

UTF supports lossless conversion round tripping and conversions between
UTF and other encodings are mostly round trip safe as Unicode aims to be
a superset of all other character encodings. However, certain encodings
(e.g. SHIFT-JIS) are known to have round trip issues [1].
Add 'core.checkRoundtripEncoding', which contains a comma separated
list of encodings, to define for what encodings Git should check the
conversion round trip if they are used in the 'working-tree-encoding'
attribute.
Set SHIFT-JIS as default value for 'core.checkRoundtripEncoding'.

Git recognizes files encoded with ASCII or one of its supersets (e.g.
UTF-8 or ISO-8859-1) as text files. All other encodings are usually
interpreted as binary and consequently built-in Git text processing
tools (e.g. 'git diff') as well as most Git web front ends do not
visualize the content.
Add an attribute to tell Git what encoding the user has defined for a
given file. If the content is added to the index, then Git reencodes
the content to a canonical UTF-8 representation. On checkout Git will
reverse this operation.

When upload-pack gained partial clone support (v2.17.0-rc0~132^2~12,
2017-12-08), it was guarded by the uploadpack.allowFilter config item
to allow server operators to control when they start supporting it.
That config item didn't go far enough, though: it controls whether the
'filter' capability is advertised, but if a (custom) client ignores
the capability advertisement and passes a filter specification anyway,
the server would handle that despite allowFilter being false.
This is particularly significant if a security bug is discovered in
this new experimental partial clone code. Installations without
uploadpack.allowFilter ought not to be affected since they don't
intend to support partial clone, but they would be swept up into being
vulnerable.
