Fix various issues of SYNOPSIS and -h output syntax where:
* Options such as --force were missing entirely
* ...or the short option, such as -f
* We said "opts" or "options", but could instead enumerate
the (small) set of supported options
* Options that were missing entirely (ls-remote's --sort=<key>)
As we can specify "--sort" multiple times (it's backed by a

what "git for-each-ref" lists it as, but let's leave that issue for

When a "jobs = 0" is passed let's BUG() out rather than fall back on
online_cpus(). The default behavior was added when this API was
implemented in c553c72eed (run-command: add an asynchronous parallel
child processor, 2015-12-15).
Most of our code in-tree that scales up to "online_cpus()" by default
calls that function by itself. Keeping this default behavior just for
the sake of two callers means that we'd need to maintain this one spot
where we're second-guessing the config passed down into pp_init().
The preceding commit has an overview of the API callers that passed
"jobs = 0". There were only two of them (actually three, but they
resolved to these two config parsing codepaths).
The "fetch.parallel" caller already had a test for the
"fetch.parallel=0" case added in 0353c68818 (fetch: do not run a
redundant fetch from submodule, 2022-05-16), but there was no such
test for "submodule.fetchJobs". Let's add one here.

Change the "run_processes_parallel{,_tr2}()" functions to return void,
instead of int. Ever since c553c72eed (run-command: add an
asynchronous parallel child processor, 2015-12-15) they have
unconditionally returned 0.
To get a "real" return value out of this function the caller needs to
get it via the "task_finished_fn" callback, see the example in hook.c
added in 96e7225b31 (hook: add 'run' subcommand, 2021-12-22).
So the "result = " and "if (!result)" code added to "builtin/fetch.c"
d54dea77db (fetch: let --jobs=<n> parallelize --multiple, too,
2019-10-05) has always been redundant, we always took that "if"
path. Likewise the "ret =" in "t/helper/test-run-command.c" added in
be5d88e112 (test-tool run-command: learn to run (parts of) the
testsuite, 2019-10-04) wasn't used, instead we got the return value
from the "if (suite.failed.nr > 0)" block seen in the context.
Subsequent commits will alter this API interface, getting rid of this
always-zero return value makes it easier to understand those changes.

When downloading a list of bundles in "all" mode, Git has no
understanding of the dependencies between the bundles. Git attempts to
unbundle the bundles in some order, but some may not pass the
verify_bundle() step because of missing prerequisites. This is passed as
error messages to the user, even when they eventually succeed in later
attempts after their dependent bundles are unbundled.
Add a new VERIFY_BUNDLE_QUIET flag to verify_bundle() that avoids the
error messages from the missing prerequisite commits. The method still
returns the number of missing prerequisit commits, allowing callers to
unbundle() to notice that the bundle failed to apply.
Use this flag in bundle-uri.c and test that the messages go away for

Suppose you are managing many maintenance tracks in your project,
and some of the more recent ones are maint-2.36 and maint-2.37.
Further imagine that your project recently tagged the official 2.38
release, which means you would need to start maint-2.38 track soon,
by doing:
$ git checkout -b maint-2.38 v2.38.0^0
$ git branch --list 'maint-2.3[6-9]'
* maint-2.38
maint-2.36
maint-2.37
So far, so good. But it also is reasonable to want not to have to
worry about which maintenance track is the latest, by pointing a
more generic-sounding 'maint' branch at it, by doing:
$ git symbolic-ref refs/heads/maint refs/heads/maint-2.38
which would allow you to say "whichever it is, check out the latest
maintenance track", by doing:
$ git checkout maint
$ git branch --show-current
maint-2.38
It is arguably better to say that we are on 'maint-2.38' rather than
on 'maint', and "git merge/pull" would record "into maint-2.38" and
not "into maint", so I think what we have is a good behaviour.
One thing that is slightly irritating, however, is that I do not
think there is a good way (other than "cat .git/HEAD") to learn that
you checked out 'maint' to get into that state. Just like the output
of "git branch --show-current" shows above, "git symbolic-ref HEAD"
would report 'refs/heads/maint-2.38', bypassing the intermediate
symbolic ref at 'refs/heads/maint' that is pointed at by HEAD.
The internal resolve_ref() API already has the necessary support for
stopping after resolving a single level of a symbolic-ref, and we
can expose it by adding a "--[no-]recurse" option to the command.

When the repository does not yet have commits, some errors describe that
there is no branch:
$ git init -b first
$ git branch --edit-description first

$ git branch --set-upstream-to=upstream
fatal: branch 'first' does not exist
$ git branch -c second
error: refname refs/heads/first not found
fatal: Branch copy failed
That "first" branch is unborn but to say it doesn't exists is confusing.
Options "-c" (copy) and "-m" (rename) show the same error when the
origin branch doesn't exists:
$ git branch -c non-existent-branch second
error: refname refs/heads/non-existent-branch not found
fatal: Branch copy failed
$ git branch -m non-existent-branch second
error: refname refs/heads/non-existent-branch not found
fatal: Branch rename failed
Note that "--edit-description" without an explicit argument is already
considering the _empty repository_ circumstance in its error. Also note
that "-m" on the initial branch it is an allowed operation.
Make the error descriptions for those branch operations with unborn or
non-existent branches, more informative.

$ git init -b first
$ git branch --edit-description first

$ git branch --set-upstream-to=upstream
fatal: No commit on branch 'first' yet.

Starting with macOS 10.15 (Catalina), Apple introduced a new feature
called 'firmlinks' in order to separate the boot volume into two
volumes, one read-only and one writable but still present them to the
user as a single volume. Along with this change, Apple removed the
ability to create symlinks in the root directory and replaced them with
'synthetic firmlinks'. See 'man synthetic.conf'
When FSEevents reports the path of changed files, if the path involves
a synthetic firmlink, the path is reported from the point of the
synthetic firmlink and not the real path. For example:
Real path:
/System/Volumes/Data/network/working/directory/foo.txt
Synthetic firmlink:
/network -> /System/Volumes/Data/network
FSEvents path:
/network/working/directory/foo.txt
This causes the FSEvents path to not match against the worktree
directory.
There are several ways in which synthetic firmlinks can be created:
they can be defined in /etc/synthetic.conf, the automounter can create
them, and there may be other means. Simply reading /etc/synthetic.conf
is insufficient. No matter what process creates synthetic firmlinks,
they all get created in the root directory.
Therefore, in order to deal with synthetic firmlinks, the root directory
is scanned and the first possible synthetic firmink that, when resolved,
is a prefix of the worktree is used to map FSEvents paths to worktree
paths.
