The git-cvsserver script is old and largely unmaintained
these days. But git-shell allows untrusted users to run it
out of the box, significantly increasing its attack surface.
Let's drop it from git-shell's list of internal handlers so
that it cannot be run by default. This is not backwards
compatible. But given the age and development activity on
CVS-related parts of Git, this is likely to impact very few
users, while helping many more (i.e., anybody who runs
git-shell and had no intention of supporting CVS).
There's no configuration mechanism in git-shell for us to
add a boolean and flip it to "off". But there is a mechanism
for adding custom commands, and adding CVS support here is
fairly trivial. Let's document it to give guidance to
anybody who really is still running cvsserver.

Doc fix.
* mg/format-ref-doc-fix:
Documentation/git-for-each-ref: clarify peeling of tags for --format
Documentation: use proper wording for ref format strings
Killing "git merge --edit" before the editor returns control left
the repository in a state with MERGE_MSG but without MERGE_HEAD,
which incorrectly tells the subsequent "git commit" that there was
a squash merge in progress. This has been fixed.
* mg/killed-merge:
merge: save merge state earlier
merge: split write_merge_state in two
merge: clarify call chain
Documentation/git-merge: explain --continue
The "tag.pager" configuration variable was useless for those who
actually create tag objects, as it interfered with the use of an
editor. A new mechanism has been introduced for commands to enable
pager depending on what operation is being carried out to fix this,
and then "git tag -l" is made to run pager by default.
If this works out OK, I think there are low-hanging fruits in
other commands like "git branch" that outputs long list in one mode
while taking input in another.
* ma/pager-per-subcommand-action:
git.c: ignore pager.* when launching builtin as dashed external
tag: change default of `pager.tag` to "on"
tag: respect `pager.tag` in list-mode only
t7006: add tests for how git tag paginates
git.c: provide setup_auto_pager()
git.c: let builtins opt for handling `pager.foo` themselves
builtin.h: take over documentation from api-builtin.txt
Code cleanup.
* jt/subprocess-handshake:
sub-process: refactor handshake to common function
Documentation: migrate sub-process docs to header
convert: add "status=delayed" to filter process protocol
convert: refactor capabilities negotiation
convert: move multiple file filter error handling to separate function
convert: put the flags field before the flag itself for consistent style
t0021: write "OUT <size>" only on success
t0021: make debug log file name configurable
t0021: keep filter log files on comparison
"%C(color name)" in the pretty print format always produced ANSI
color escape codes, which was an early design mistake. They now
honor the configuration (e.g. "color.ui = never") and also tty-ness
of the output medium.

ref-filter: consult want_color() before emitting colors
pretty: respect color settings for %C placeholders
rev-list: pass diffopt->use_colors through to pretty-print
for-each-ref: load config earlier
color: check color.ui in git_default_config()
ref-filter: pass ref_format struct to atom parsers
ref-filter: factor out the parsing of sorting atoms
ref-filter: make parse_ref_filter_atom a private function
ref-filter: provide a function for parsing sort options
ref-filter: move need_color_reset_at_eol into ref_format
ref-filter: abstract ref format into its own struct
ref-filter: simplify automatic color reset
t: use test_decode_color rather than literal ANSI codes
docs/for-each-ref: update pointer to color syntax
check return value of verify_ref_format()
The documentation for pack-objects describes that it creates "a packed
archive of objects", which is confusing because it may create multiple
packs if --max-pack-size is set. Update the documentation to clarify
this, and explaining in which cases such a feature would be useful.

`*` in format strings means peeling of tag objects so that object field
names refer to the object that the tag object points at, instead of the
tag object itself.
Currently, this is documented using grammar that is clearly inspired by
classical latin, though missing more than an article in order to be
classical english.
Try and straighten that explanation out a bit.

Various commands list refs and allow to use a format string for the
output that interpolates from the ref as well as the object it points
at (for-each-ref; branch and tag in list mode).
Currently, the documentation talks about interpolating from the object.
This is confusing because a ref points to an object but not vice versa,
so the object cannot possible know %(refname), for example. Thus, this is
wrong independent of refs being objects (one day, maybe) or not.
Change the wording to make this clearer (and distinguish it from formats
for the log family).

The previous patch taught `git tag` to only respect `pager.tag` in
list-mode. That patch left the default value of `pager.tag` at "off".
After that patch, it makes sense to let the default value be "on"
instead, since it will help with listing many tags, but will not hurt
users of `git tag -a` as it would have before. Make that change. Update
documentation and tests.

Using, e.g., `git -c pager.tag tag -a new-tag` results in errors such as
"Vim: Warning: Output is not to a terminal" and a garbled terminal.
Someone who makes use of both `git tag -a` and `git tag -l` will
probably not set `pager.tag`, so that `git tag -a` will actually work,
at the cost of not paging output of `git tag -l`.
Use the mechanisms introduced in two earlier patches to ignore
`pager.tag` in git.c and let the `git tag` builtin handle it on its own.
Only respect `pager.tag` when running in list-mode.
There is a window between where the pager is started before and after
this patch. This means that early errors can behave slightly different
before and after this patch. Since operation-parsing has to happen
inside this window, this can be seen with `git -c pager.tag="echo pager
is used" tag -l --unknown-option`. This change in paging-behavior should
be acceptable since it only affects erroneous usages.
Update the documentation and update tests.
If an alias is used to run `git tag -a`, then `pager.tag` will still be
respected. Document this known breakage. It will be fixed in a later
commit. Add a similar test for `-l`, which works.

when the information was formatted for AsciiDoc. Similarly, change
