Fixes since v2.30
-----------------
* Diagnose command line error of "git rebase" early.
- (merge ca5120c339 rs/rebase-commit-validation later to maint).
* Clean up option descriptions in "git cmd --help".
- (merge e73fe3dd02 zh/arg-help-format later to maint).
* "git stash" did not work well in a sparsely checked out working
tree.
- (merge ba359fd507 en/stash-apply-sparse-checkout later to maint).
* Some tests expect that "ls -l" output has either '-' or 'x' for
group executable bit, but setgid bit can be inherited from parent
directory and make these fields 'S' or 's' instead, causing test
failures.
- (merge ea8bbf2a4e mt/t4129-with-setgid-dir later to maint).
* "git for-each-repo --config=<var> <cmd>" should not run <cmd> for
any repository when the configuration variable <var> is not defined
even once.
- (merge 6c62f01552 ds/for-each-repo-noopfix later to maint).
* Fix 2.29 regression where "git mergetool --tool-help" fails to list
all the available tools.
- (merge 80f5a16798 pb/mergetool-tool-help-fix later to maint).
* Fix for procedure to building CI test environment for mac.

* The implementation of "git branch --sort" wrt the detached HEAD
display has always been hacky, which has been cleaned up.
