Since 3b1d9e04 (eoie: add End of Index Entry (EOIE) extension,
2018-10-10) Git defaults to writing the new EOIE section when writing
out an index file. Usually that is a good thing because it improves
threaded performance, but when a Git repository is shared with older
versions of Git, it produces a confusing warning:
$ git status
ignoring EOIE extension
HEAD detached at 371ed0defa
nothing to commit, working tree clean
Let's introduce the new index extension more gently. First we'll roll
out the new version of Git that understands it, and then once
sufficiently many users are using such a version, we can flip the
default to writing it by default.
Introduce a '[index] recordEndOfIndexEntries' configuration variable
to allow interested users to benefit from this index extension early.

The recently merged "rebase in C" has an escape hatch to use the
scripted version when necessary, but it hasn't been documented,
which has been corrected.
* ab/rebase-in-c-escape-hatch:
tests: add a special setup where rebase.useBuiltin is off
rebase doc: document rebase.useBuiltin
The "--no-patch" option, which can be used to get a high-level
overview without the actual line-by-line patch difference shown, of
the "range-diff" command was earlier broken, which has been
corrected.
* ab/range-diff-no-patch:
range-diff: make diff option behavior (e.g. --stat) consistent
range-diff: fix regression in passing along diff options
range-diff doc: add a section about output stability
Various functions have been audited for "-Wunused-parameter" warnings
and bugs in them got fixed.
* jk/unused-parameter-fixes:
midx: double-check large object write loop
assert NOARG/NONEG behavior of parse-options callbacks
parse-options: drop OPT_DATE()
apply: return -1 from option callback instead of calling exit(1)
cat-file: report an error on multiple --batch options
tag: mark "--message" option with NONEG
show-branch: mark --reflog option as NONEG
format-patch: mark "--no-numbered" option with NONEG
status: mark --find-renames option with NONEG
cat-file: mark batch options with NONEG
pack-objects: mark index-version option as NONEG
ls-files: mark exclude options as NONEG
am: handle --no-patch-format option
apply: mark include/exclude options as NONEG
The rebase.useBuiltin variable introduced in 55071ea248 ("rebase:
start implementing it as a builtin", 2018-08-07) was turned on by
default in 5541bd5b8f ("rebase: default to using the builtin rebase",
2018-08-08), but had no documentation.
Let's document it so that users who run into any stability issues with
the C rewrite know there's an escape hatch[1], and make it clear that
needing to turn off builtin rebase means you've found a bug in git.

All config extensions are described in technical/repository-version.txt.
I made a mistake of adding it in config.txt instead. This patch moves
it back to where it belongs.
Since repository-version.txt is not part of officially generated
documents (it's not even part of DOC_HTML target), it's only visible
to developers who read plain .txt files. Let's include it in
gitrepository-layout.5 for more visibility. Some minor asciidoc fixes
are required in repository-version.txt to make this happen.

The code to traverse objects for reachability, used to decide what
objects are unreferenced and expendable, have been taught to also
consider per-worktree refs of other worktrees as starting points to
prevent data loss.
* nd/per-worktree-ref-iteration:
git-worktree.txt: correct linkgit command name
reflog expire: cover reflog from all worktrees
fsck: check HEAD and reflog from other worktrees
fsck: move fsck_head_link() to get_default_heads() to avoid some globals
revision.c: better error reporting on ref from different worktrees
revision.c: correct a parameter name
refs: new ref types to make per-worktree refs visible to all worktrees
Add a place for (not) sharing stuff between worktrees
refs.c: indent with tabs, not spaces
A pattern with '**' that does not have a slash on either side used
to be an invalid one, but the code now treats such double-asterisks
the same way as two normal asterisks that happen to be adjacent to
each other.
* nd/wildmatch-double-asterisk:
wildmatch: change behavior of "foo**bar" in WM_PATHNAME mode
A fourth class of configuration files (in addition to the
traditional "system wide", "per user in the $HOME directory" and
"per repository in the $GIT_DIR/config") has been introduced so
that different worktrees that share the same repository (hence the
same $GIT_DIR/config file) can use different customization.
* nd/per-worktree-config:
worktree: add per-worktree config files
t1300: extract and use test_cmp_config()
Split the overly large Documentation/config.txt file into million
little pieces. This potentially allows each individual piece
included into the manual page of the command it affects more easily.

The range-diff command is already advertised as porcelain, but let's
make it really clear that the output is completely subject to change,
particularly when it comes to diff options such as --stat. Right now
that option doesn't work, but fixing that is the subject of a later
change.

Operations on promisor objects make sense in the context of only a
small subset of the commands that internally use the revisions
machinery, but the "--exclude-promisor-objects" option were taken
and led to nonsense results by commands like "log", to which it
didn't make much sense. This has been corrected.
* md/exclude-promisor-objects-fix:
exclude-promisor-objects: declare when option is allowed
Documentation/git-log.txt: do not show --exclude-promisor-objects
"git send-email" learned to disable SMTP authentication via the
"--smtp-auth=none" option, even when the smtp username is given
(which turns the authentication on by default).

There are no users of OPT_DATE except for test-parse-options; its
only caller went away in 27ec394a97 (prune: introduce OPT_EXPIRY_DATE()
and use it, 2013-04-25).
It also has a bug: it does not specify PARSE_OPT_NONEG, but its callback
does not respect the "unset" flag, and will feed NULL to approxidate()
and segfault. Probably this should be marked with NONEG, or the callback
should set the timestamp to some sentinel value (e.g,. "0", or
"(time_t)-1").
But since there are no callers, deleting it means we don't even have to
think about what the right behavior should be.

Git for Windows ships with its own Perl interpreter, and insists on
using it, so it will most likely wreak havoc if PERL5LIB is set before
launching Git.
Let's just unset that environment variables when spawning processes.
To make this feature extensible (and overrideable), there is a new
config setting `core.unsetenvvars` that allows specifying a
comma-separated list of names to unset before spawning processes.

This is a backward-incompatible change that may surprise existing

In WM_PATHNAME mode (or FNM_PATHNAME), '*' does not match '/' and '**'
can but only in three patterns:
- '**/' matches zero or more leading directories
- '/**/' matches zero or more directories in between
- '/**' matches zero or more trailing directories/files
When '**' is present but not in one of these patterns, the current
behavior is consider the pattern invalid and stop matching. In other
words, 'foo**bar' never matches anything, whatever you throw at it.
This behavior is arguably a bit confusing partly because we can't
really tell the user their pattern is invalid so that they can fix
it. So instead, tolerate it and make '**' act like two regular '*'s
(which is essentially the same as a single asterisk). This behavior
seems more predictable.
