We already talk about how to use each one and how they work,
but it is a reasonable question to wonder why one might use
one over the other.

The "git ls-remote" uses its exit status to indicate if it successfully
talked with the remote repository. A new option "--exit-code" makes the
command exit with status "2" when there is no refs to be listed, even when
the command successfully talked with the remote repository.
This way, the caller can tell if we failed to contact the remote, or the
remote did not have what we wanted to see. Of course, you can inspect the
output from the command, which has been and will continue to be a valid
way to check the same thing.

The return codes of git_config_set() and friends are magic numbers right
in the source. #define them in cache.h where the functions are declared,
and use the constants in the source.
Also, mention the resulting exit codes of "git config" in its man page
(and complete the list).

Add a no-op wrapper library for Git's shell scripts. To split up the
gettext series I'm first submitting patches to gettextize the source
tree before I add any of the Makefile and Shell library changes needed
to actually use them.

Add a git-sh-i18n--envsubst program which is a stripped-down version
of the GNU envsubst(1) program that comes with GNU gettext for use in
the eval_gettext() fallback.
We need a C helper program because implementing eval_gettext() purely
in shell turned out to be unworkable. Digging through the Git mailing
list archives will reveal two shell implementations of eval_gettext
that are almost good enough, but fail on an edge case which is tested
for in the tests which are part of this patch.
These are the modifications I made to envsubst.c as I turned it into
sh-i18n--envsubst.c:
* Added our git-compat-util.h header for xrealloc() and friends.
* Removed inclusion of gettext-specific headers.
* Removed most of main() and replaced it with my own. The modified
version only does option parsing for --variables. That's all it
needs.
* Modified error() invocations to use our error() instead of
error(3).
* Replaced the gettext XNMALLOC(n, size) macro with just
xmalloc(n). Since XNMALLOC() only allocated char's.
* Removed the string_list_destroy function. It's redundant (also in
the upstream code).
* Replaced the use of stdbool.h (a C99 header) by doing the following
replacements on the code:
* s/bool/unsigned short int/g
* s/true/1/g
* s/false/0/g

This reverts commit d0546e2d48, which
was only meant to be a Proof-of-concept used during the discussion.
The real implementation of the feature needs to wait until we migrate
all the code to use "struct pathspec", not "char **", to represent
richer semantics given to pathspec.
The --interactive flag is already shared by git add and git commit,
share the -p and --patch flags too.

This is just like --porcelain, except that we always output
the commit information for each line, not just the first
time it is referenced. This can make quick and dirty scripts
much easier to write; see the example added to the blame

Change the behaviour of git commit --interactive so that when you abort
the commit (by leaving the commit message empty) the index remains
unchanged.
Hitherto an aborted commit --interactive has added the selected hunks to
the index regardless of whether the commit succeeded or not.
