Use list continuation to avoid the second and third paragraphs
rendering with a different indentation from the first one where we
describe the "url" attribute.

The first list item follows immediately on the paragraph where we
introduce the list. This makes the "*" render literally as part of one
huge paragraph. (With AsciiDoc, everything is fine after that, but with
Asciidoctor, we get some minor follow-on errors.) Add an empty line --
with a list continuation ("+") -- to make the first list item render ok.

The blank line before the lone "+" means it isn't detected as a list
continuation, but instead renders literally, at least with AsciiDoc.
Drop the empty line and, while at it, add a closing period to the
preceding paragraph.

In Documentation/technical/commit-graph-format.txt, the definition
of the BIDX chunk specifies the length is a number of 8-byte words.
During development we discovered that using 8-byte words in the
Murmur3 hash algorithm causes issues with big-endian versus little-
endian machines. Thus, the hash algorithm was adapted to work on a
byte-by-byte basis. However, this caused a change in the definition
of a "word" in bloom.h. Now, a "word" is a single byte, which allows
filters to be as small as two bytes. These length-two filters are
demonstrated in t0095-bloom.sh, and a larger filter of length 25 is
demonstrated as well.
The original point of using 8-byte words was for alignment reasons.
It also presented opportunities for extremely sparse Bloom filters
when there were a small number of changes at a commit, creating a
very low false-positive rate. However, modifying the format at this
point is unlikely to be a valuable exercise. Also, this use of
single-byte granularity does present opportunities to save space.
It is unclear if 8-byte alignment of the filters would present any
meaningful performance benefits.
Modify the format document to reflect reality.

When selecting a batch of pack-files to repack in the "git
multi-pack-index repack" command, Git should respect the
repack.packKeptObjects config option. When false, this option says that
the pack-files with an associated ".keep" file should not be repacked.
This config value is "false" by default.
There are two cases for selecting a batch of objects. The first is the
case where the input batch-size is zero, which specifies "repack
everything". The second is with a non-zero batch size, which selects
pack-files using a greedy selection criteria. Both of these cases are
updated and tested.

Occasionally a failure a user is seeing may be related to a specific
hook which is being run, perhaps without the user realizing. While the
contents of hooks can be sensitive - containing user data or process
information specific to the user's organization - simply knowing that a
hook is being run at a certain stage can help us to understand whether
something is going wrong.
Without a definitive list of hook names within the code, we compile our
own list from the documentation. This is likely prone to bitrot, but
designing a single source of truth for acceptable hooks is too much
overhead for this small change to the bugreport tool.

gitcredentials(7) already mentions several possible invocations that one
can use as the value for credential.helper. However, many people are
not aware that there are other options than a simple credential helper
name, so let's place some explanatory text in the documentation for
credential.helper as well.
We still refer the user to gitcredential(7) for additional explanations
and helpful examples.

In documentation pertaining to autostash behavior, we refer to the
"stash reflog". This description is too low-level as the reflog refers
to an implementation detail of how the stash works and, for end-users,
they do not need to be aware of this at all.
Change references of "stash reflog" to "stash list", which should
provide more accessible terminology for end-users.

By default, files are restored from the index for --worktree, and from
HEAD for --staged. When --worktree and --staged are combined, --source
must be specified to disambiguate the restore source[1], thus making it
cumbersome to restore a file in both the worktree and the index.
However, HEAD is also a reasonable default for --worktree when combined
with --staged, so make it the default anytime --staged is used (whether
combined with --worktree or not).
[1]: Due to an oversight, the --source requirement, though documented,
is not actually enforced.

The advice to use "$x" rather than "x" in arithmetric expansion was
working around a dash bug fixed in 0.5.4. Even Debian oldstable has
0.5.8 these days. And in the meantime, we've added almost two dozen
instances of the "x" form which you can find with:
git grep '$(([a-z]'
and nobody seems to have complained. Let's declare this workaround
obsolete and simplify our style guide.

It's typical to find Markdown documentation alongside source code, and
having better context for documentation changes is useful; see also
commit 69f9c87d4 (userdiff: add support for Fountain documents,
2015-07-21).
The pattern is based on the CommonMark specification 0.29, section 4.2
<https://spec.commonmark.org/> but doesn't match empty headings, as
seeing them in a hunk header is unlikely to be useful.
Only ATX headings are supported, as detecting setext headings would
require printing the line before a pattern matches, or matching a
multiline pattern. The word-diff pattern is the same as the pattern for
HTML, because many Markdown parsers accept inline HTML.

There's an example of using your own bit of shell to act as a credential
helper, but it's not very realistic:
- It's stupid to hand out your secret password to _every_ host. In the
real world you'd use the config-matcher to limit it to a particular
host.
- We never provided a username. We can easily do that in another config
option (you can do it in the helper, too, but this is much more
readable).
- We were sending the secret even for store/erase operations. This
is OK because Git would just ignore it, but a real system would
probably be unlocking a password store, which you wouldn't want to do
more than necessary.

We give several helper config examples, but don't make clear that these
are raw values. It's up to the user to add the appropriate quoting to
put them into a config file (either by running with "git config" and
quoting against the shell, or by adding double-quotes as appropriate
within the git-config file).
Let's flesh them out as full config blocks, which makes the syntax more
clear (and makes it possible for people to just cut-and-paste them as a
starting point). I added double-quotes to any values larger than a
single word. That isn't strictly necessary in all cases, but it
sidesteps explaining the rules about exactly when you need to quote a
value.
The existing quotes can be converted to single-quotes in one instance,
and backslash-esccaped in the other. I also swapped out backticks for
our preferred $().
