* an/shallow-doc:
Document the underlying protocol used by shallow repositories and --depth commands.
Fix documentation of fetch-pack that implies that the client can disconnect after sending wants.
This has been there since textconv existed, but was never
documented. There is some overlap with what's in
gitattributes(5), but it's important to warn in both places
that textconv diffs probably can't be applied.

Currently start/restart does not generate any configuration files for
spawning a new instance. This means that
$ git instaweb --http=<server> --start
might pick up stale 'httpd.conf' file for a different web server
(e.g. for default lighttpd when requesting apache2).
This commit changes that, and makes git-instaweb generate web server
config file and/or gitweb config file if don't exists.
This required naming config files after the name of web server
(alternate solution would be to somehow mark for which web server was
config file generated).
Note that web servers that embed configuration in server script file,
namely webrick and plackup, and which delete "$conf" in their *_conf
function, would have their config (server script) always regenerated.
Note: this commit introduces a bit of code repetition (but only a few
lines).

With --heading, the filename is printed once before matches from that
file instead of at the start of each line, giving more screen space to
the actual search results.
This option is taken from ack (http://betterthangrep.com/). And now

If the config option http.cookiefile is set, pass this file to libCURL using
the CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE option. This is similar to calling curl with the -b
option. This allows git http authorization with authentication mechanisms
that use cookies, such as SAML Enhanced Client or Proxy (ECP) used by
Shibboleth.
To use SAML/ECP, the user needs to request a session cookie with their own ECP
code. See for example:
<https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/SHIB2/ECP>
Once the cookie file has been created, it can be passed to git with, e.g.
git config --global http.cookiefile "/home/dbrown/.curlcookies"
libCURL will then pass the appropriate session cookies to the git http server.

Change the documentation for the git-sh-i18n--envsubst program to
include a SYNOPSIS section. Include the invocation of the program from
git-sh-i18n.sh.
Not having a SYNOPSIS section caused the "doc" target to fail on
Centos 5.5 with asciidoc 8.2.5, while building with 8.6.4 on Debian
works just fine.
The relevant error was:

Often one is interested in the full --stat output only for commits which
change a few files, but not others, because larger restructuring gives a
--stat which fills a few screens.
Introduce a new option --stat-count=<count> which limits the --stat output
to the first <count> lines, followed by a "..." line. It can
also be given as the third parameter in
--stat=<width>,<name-width>,<count>.
Also, the unstuck form is supported analogous to the other two stat
parameters.

Recent versions of asciidoc will treat "->" as a
single-glyph arrow symbol, unless it is inside a literal
code block. This is a problem if we are discussing literal
output and want to show the ASCII characters.
Our usage falls into three categories:
1. Inside a code block. These can be left as-is.
2. Discussing literal output or code, but inside a
paragraph. This patch escapes these as "\->".
3. Using the arrow as a symbolic element, such as "use the
Edit->Account Settings menu". In this case, the
arrow symbol is preferable, so we leave it as-is.

The --porcelain format was originally identical to the
--short format, but designed to be stable as the short
format changed. Since this was written, the short format
picked up a few incompatible niceties, but this description
was never changed.
Let's mention the differences. While we're at it, let's add
some sub-section headings to make the "output" section a
little easier to navigate.
