It was not obvious from the text that pager.<cmd> is a boolean
setting.

While we're changing the description, make some other
improvements: lest we forget and fret, clarify that -p and
pager.<cmd> do not kick in when stdout is not a tty; point to
related core.pager and GIT_PAGER settings; use renamed --paginate

1ce4790bf5 Make use of stat.ctime configurable
A new configuration variable 'core.trustctime' is introduced to
allow ignoring st_ctime information when checking if paths
in the working tree has changed, because there are situations where
it produces too much false positives.  Like when file system crawlers
keep changing it when scanning and using the ctime for marking scanned
files.

The default is to notice ctime changes.

467c0197fd Documentation: more "git-" versus "git " changes
With git-commands moving out of $(bindir), it is useful to make a
clearer distinction between the git subcommand 'git-whatever' and
the command you type, `git whatever <options>`.  So we use a dash
after "git" when referring to the former and not the latter.

It defaults to off, although we could presumably in theory some day
auto-enable it on a per-filesystem basis.

This patch adds a remote.*.mirror configuration option that,
when set, automatically puts git-push in --mirror mode for that

Furthermore, the option is set automatically by `git remote

The code in remote.c to parse remote.*.skipdefaultupdate
had a subtle problem: a comment in the code indicated that
special care was needed for boolean options, but this care was
not used in parsing the option.  Since I was touching related
code, I did this fix too.

value (0077) can use this option to force file modes. For example,
'0640' is a group-readable but not group-writable regardless of
user's umask value. Values compatible with old Git versions are written
as they were before, for compatibility reasons. That is, "1" for
"group" and "2" for "everybody".

25ee9731c1 gc: call "prune --expire 2.weeks.ago" by default
The only reason we did not call "prune" in git-gc was that it is an
inherently dangerous operation: if there is a commit going on, you will
prune loose objects that were just created, and are, in fact, needed by the
commit object just about to be created.

Since it is dangerous, we told users so.  That led to many users not even
daring to run it when it was actually safe. Besides, they are users, and
should not have to remember such details as when to call git-gc with
--prune, or to call git-prune directly.

Of course, the consequence was that "git gc --auto" gets triggered much
more often than we would like, since unreferenced loose objects (such as
left-overs from a rebase or a reset --hard) were never pruned.

Alas, git-prune recently learnt the option --expire <minimum-age>, which
makes it a much safer operation.  This allows us to call prune from git-gc,
with a grace period of 2 weeks for the unreferenced loose objects (this
value was determined in a discussion on the git list as a safe one).

If you want to override this grace period, just set the config variable
gc.pruneExpire to a different value; an example would be

	[gc]
		pruneExpire = 6.months.ago

or even "never", if you feel really paranoid.

Note that this new behaviour makes "--prune" be a no-op.

While adding a test to t5304-prune.sh (since it really tests the implicit
call to "prune"), also the original test for "prune --expire" was moved
there from t1410-reflog.sh, where it did not belong.
