There are "git checkout [-p][<tree-ish>][--][<paths>...]" in the
SYNOPSIS section, and "git checkout [-p][<tree-ish>][--]<paths>..."
as the header for the section that explains the "check out paths
from index/tree-ish" mode. It is unclear if we require at least one
path, or it is entirely optional.
Actually, both are wrong. Without the "-p(atch)" option, you must
have <pathspec> (otherwise, with a commit that is a <tree-ish>, you
would be checking out that commit to build a new history on top of
it). With it, it is already clear that you are checking out paths,
it is optional. In other words, you cannot omit both.
The source of the confusion is that -p(atch) is described as if it
is just another "optional" part and its description is lumped
together with the non patch mode, even though the actual end user
experience is vastly different.
Let's split the entry into two, and describe the regular mode and
the patch mode separately. This allows us to make it clear that the
regular mode MUST be given at least one pathspec, that the patch
mode can be invoked with either '-p' or '--patch' but one of these
must be given, and that the pathspec is entirely optional in the
patch mode.
Also, revamp the explanation of "checkout paths" by removing
extraneous description at the beginning, that says "checking out
paths is not checking out a branch". Explaining what it is for and
when the user wants to use it upfront is the most direct way to help
the readers.

We run `git rev-parse` though the shell, and quote its
argument only with single-quotes. This prevents most
metacharacters from being a problem, but misses the obvious
case when $name itself has single-quotes in it. We can fix
this by applying the usual shell-quoting formula.

Refnames can contain shell metacharacters which need to be
passed verbatim to sub-processes. Using safe_pipe_capture
skips the shell entirely.

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.

This makes the script pass arguments that are derived from end-user
input in safer way when invoking subcommands.

"git archive" did not work well with pathspecs and the
export-ignore attribute.
We may want to resurrect the "we don't archive an empty directory"
bonus patch, but I do not mind merging the above early to 'next'

"git apply" that is used as a better "patch -p1" failed to apply a
taken from a file with CRLF line endings to a file with CRLF line
endings. The root cause was because it misused convert_to_git()
that tried to do "safe-crlf" processing by looking at the index
entry at the same path, which is a nonsense---in that mode, "apply"
is not working on the data in (or derived from) the index at all.
This has been fixed.
* tb/apply-with-crlf:
apply: file commited with CRLF should roundtrip diff and apply
convert: add SAFE_CRLF_KEEP_CRLF
