When using non-builtin protocols relying on a transport helper
(such as http), push options are not propagated to the helper.
The user could ask for push options and a push would seemingly succeed,
but the push options would never be transported to the server,
misleading the users expectation.
Fix this by propagating the push options to the transport helper.
This is only addressing the first issue of
(1) the helper protocol does not propagate push-option
(2) the http helper is not prepared to handle push-option
Once we fix (2), the http transport helper can make use of push options
as well, but that happens as a follow up. (1) is a bug fix, whereas (2)
is a feature, which is why we only do (1) here.

The existing "git fetch --depth=<n>" option was hard to use
correctly when making the history of an existing shallow clone
deeper. A new option, "--deepen=<n>", has been added to make this
easier to use. "git clone" also learned "--shallow-since=<date>"
and "--shallow-exclude=<tag>" options to make it easier to specify
"I am interested only in the recent N months worth of history" and
"Give me only the history since that version".

In git-fetch, --depth argument is always relative with the latest
remote refs. This makes it a bit difficult to cover this use case,
where the user wants to make the shallow history, say 3 levels
deeper. It would work if remote refs have not moved yet, but nobody
can guarantee that, especially when that use case is performed a
couple months after the last clone or "git fetch --depth". Also,
modifying shallow boundary using --depth does not work well with
clones created by --since or --not.
This patch fixes that. A new argument --deepen=<N> will add <N> more (*)
parent commits to the current history regardless of where remote refs
are.
Have/Want negotiation is still respected. So if remote refs move, the
server will send two chunks: one between "have" and "want" and another
to extend shallow history. In theory, the client could send no "want"s
in order to get the second chunk only. But the protocol does not allow
that. Either you send no want lines, which means ls-remote; or you
have to send at least one want line that carries deep-relative to the
server..
The main work was done by Dongcan Jiang. I fixed it up here and there.
And of course all the bugs belong to me.
(*) We could even support --deepen=<N> where <N> is negative. In that
case we can cut some history from the shallow clone. This operation
(and --depth=<shorter depth>) does not require interaction with remote
side (and more complicated to implement as a result).

Text like "{foo}" triggers an AsciiDoc attribute; we have to
write "\{foo}" to suppress this. But when the "foo" is not a
syntactically valid attribute, we can skip the quoting. This
makes the source nicer to read, and looks better under
Asciidoctor. With AsciiDoc itself, this patch produces no
changes.

Since 664059fb (transport-helper: update remote helper namespace,
2013-04-17), a 'push' operation on a remote helper updates the
private ref by default. This is often a good thing, but it can also
be desirable to disable this update to force the next 'pull' to
re-import the pushed revisions.
Allow remote-helpers to disable the automatic update by introducing a new
capability.

Rename {git- => git}remote-helpers.txt

to topics that are the names of commands (either builtin or found on the

"git-remote-helpers" is not the name of a command, so "git help
