By default, `git worktree add` creates a new worktree associated with a
particular branch (which may have been created automatically if not
specified explicitly on the command-line). It is also convenient to
create throwaway worktrees not associated with any branch, which can be
handy when making experimental changes or doing testing. However, the
latter use-case may not be obvious to newcomers since the high-level
description of worktrees talks only about checking out "more than one
branch at a time". Therefore, enhance the description to to discuss both
use-cases.
A secondary goal of highlighting the distinction between branch-based
and throwaway worktrees is to help newcomers understand that the
simplest form `git worktree add <path>` automatically creates a new
branch. Stating this early in the description, may help newcomers avoid
creating branches without realizing they are doing so, and later
wondering why `git branch --list` shows branches the user did not
intentionally create.

Like `git switch` and `git checkout`, `git worktree add` can check out a
branch or set up a detached HEAD. However, unlike those other commands,
`git worktree add` does not understand -d as shorthand for --detach,
which may confound users accustomed to using -d for this purpose.
Address this shortcoming by teaching `add` to recognize -d for --detach,
thus bringing it in line with the other commands.

`git checkout` learned -d as short option for --detach in 163e3b2975
(switch: add short option for --detach, 2019-03-29) but the
documentation was never updated to reflect the change.

887952b8c6 ("fetch: optionally allow disabling FETCH_HEAD update",
2020-08-18) introduced the ability to disable writing to FETCH_HEAD
during fetch, but did not suppress the "<source> -> FETCH_HEAD" message
when this ability is used. This message is misleading in this case,
because FETCH_HEAD is not written. Also, because "fetch" is used to
lazy-fetch missing objects in a partial clone, this significantly
clutters up the output in that case since the objects to be fetched are
potentially numerous.
Therefore, suppress this message when --no-write-fetch-head is passed
(but not when --dry-run is set).

This patch fixes a bug where xrealloc(ptr, 0) can double-free and
corrupt the heap on some platforms (including at least glibc).
The C99 standard says of malloc (section 7.20.3):
If the size of the space requested is zero, the behavior is
implementation-defined: either a null pointer is returned, or the
behavior is as if the size were some nonzero value, except that the
returned pointer shall not be used to access an object.
So we might get NULL back, or we might get an actual pointer (but we're
not allowed to look at its contents). To simplify our code, our
xmalloc() handles a NULL return by converting it into a single-byte
allocation. That way callers get consistent behavior. This was done way
back in 4e7a2eccc2 (?alloc: do not return NULL when asked for zero
bytes, 2005-12-29).
We also gave xcalloc() and xrealloc() the same treatment. And according
to C99, that is fine; the text above is in a paragraph that applies to
all three. But what happens to the memory we passed to realloc() in such
a case? I.e., if we do:
ret = realloc(ptr, 0);
and "ptr" is non-NULL, but we get NULL back, is "ptr" still valid? C99
doesn't cover this case specifically, but says (section 7.20.3.4):
The realloc function deallocates the old object pointed to by ptr and
returns a pointer to a new object that has the size specified by size.
So "ptr" is now deallocated, and we must only look at "ret". And since
"ret" is NULL, that means we have no allocated object at all. But that's
not quite the whole story. It also says:
If memory for the new object cannot be allocated, the old object is
not deallocated and its value is unchanged.
[...]
The realloc function returns a pointer to the new object (which may
have the same value as a pointer to the old object), or a null pointer
if the new object could not be allocated.
So if we see a NULL return with a non-zero size, we can expect that the
original object _is_ still valid. But with a non-zero size, it's
ambiguous. The NULL return might mean a failure (in which case the
object is valid), or it might mean that we successfully allocated
nothing, and used NULL to represent that.
The glibc manpage for realloc() explicitly says:
[...]if size is equal to zero, and ptr is not NULL, then the call is
equivalent to free(ptr).
Likewise, this StackOverflow answer:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/2135302
claims that C89 gave similar guidance (but I don't have a copy to verify
it). A comment on this answer:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/2022410
claims that Microsoft's CRT behaves the same.
But our current "retry with 1 byte" code passes the original pointer
again. So on glibc, we effectively free() the pointer and then try to
realloc() it again, which is undefined behavior.
The simplest fix here is to just pass "ret" (which we know to be NULL)
to the follow-up realloc(). But that means that a system which _doesn't_
free the original pointer would leak it. It's not clear if any such
systems exist, and that interpretation of the standard seems unlikely
(I'd expect a system that doesn't deallocate to simply return the
original pointer in this case). But it's easy enough to err on the safe
side, and just never pass a zero size to realloc() at all.

In fde97d8ac6 (Update documentation to remove incorrect GIT_DIFF_OPTS
example., 2006-11-27), the description of the 'GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF'
variable was moved from 'diff-format.txt' to 'git.txt', and the
documentation was updated to remove a 'diff(1)' invocation since Git did
not use an external diff program anymore by default.
However, the description of 'GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF' still mentions "instead
of the diff invocation described above", which is confusing.
Correct that outdated sentence.
Also, link to git(1) in 'diff-generate-patch.txt' when GIT_DIFF_OPTS and
GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF are mentioned, so that users can easily know what
these variables are about.

Because the hook runs after the main checkout operation finishes, it
cannot affect what branch will be the current branch, what paths are
updated in the working tree, etc., which was described as "cannot
affect the outcome of 'checkout'".
However, the exit status of the hook is used as the exit status of
the 'checkout' command and is observable by anybody who spawned the
'checkout', which was missing from the documentation. Fix this.
