"git apply" was not very careful about reading from, removing,

The documentation of 'git submodule update' has several problems:
1) It mentions that value 'none' of submodule.$name.update can be
overridden by --checkout, but other combinations of configuration
values and command line options are not mentioned.
2) The documentation of submodule.$name.update is scattered across three
places, which is confusing.
3) The documentation of submodule.$name.update in gitmodules.txt is
incorrect, because the code always uses the value from .git/config
and never from .gitmodules.
4) Documentation of --force was incomplete, because it is only effective
in case of checkout method of update.
Fix all these problems by documenting submodule.*.update in
git-submodule.txt and make everybody else refer to it.

The variable was documented in git-mailinfo.txt, but not in config.txt.
The detailed documentation is still the one of --scissors in
git-mailinfo.txt, but we give enough information here to let the user
understand what it is about, and to make it easy to find it (e.g.
searching ">8" and "8<" finds it).

By default, a patch that affects outside the working area (either a
Git controlled working tree, or the current working directory when
"git apply" is used as a replacement of GNU patch) is rejected as a
mistake (or a mischief). Git itself does not create such a patch,
unless the user bends over backwards and specifies a non-standard
prefix to "git diff" and friends.
When `git apply` is used as a "better GNU patch", the user can pass
the `--unsafe-paths` option to override this safety check. This
option has no effect when `--index` or `--cached` is in use.
The new test was stolen from Jeff King with slight enhancements.
Note that a few new tests for touching outside the working area by
following a symbolic link are still expected to fail at this step,
but will be fixed in later steps.

We may want to say something about command line option names in the
new section as well, but for now, let's make sure everybody is clear
on how to structure and name their configuration variables.
The text for the rules are partly taken from the log message of
Jonathan's 6b3020a2 (add: introduce add.ignoreerrors synonym for
add.ignore-errors, 2010-12-01).

It seems to be a common mistake to try using a single remote
(e.g. 'origin') to fetch from one place (i.e. upstream) while
pushing to another (i.e. your publishing point).
That will never work satisfactorily, and it is easy to understand
why if you think about what refs/remotes/origin/* would mean in such
a world. It fundamentally cannot reflect the reality. If it
follows the state of your upstream, it cannot match what you have
published, and vice versa.
It may be that misinformation is spread by some people. Let's
counter them by adding a few words to our documentation.
- The description was referring to <oldurl> and <newurl>, but never
mentioned <name> argument you give from the command line. By
mentioning "remote <name>", stress the fact that it is configuring
a single remote.
- Add a reminder that explicitly states that this is about a single
remote, which the triangular workflow is not about.

b6d8f309 (diff-raw format update take #2., 2005-05-23) started
documenting the diff format, and it said
...
(8) sha1 for "dst"; 0{40} if creation, unmerged or "look at work tree".
(9) status, followed by similarlity index number only for C and R.
(10) a tab or a NUL when '-z' option is used.
...
because C and R _were_ the only ones that came with a number back
then. This was corrected by ddafa7e9 (diff-helper: Fix R/C score
parsing under -z flag., 2005-05-29) and we started saying "score"
instead of "similarlity index" (because we can have other kind of
score there), and stopped saying "only for C and R" (because Git is
an ever evolving system). Later f345b0a0 (Add -B flag to diff-*
brothers., 2005-05-30) introduced a new concept, "dissimilarity"
score; it did not have to fix any documentation.
The current text that says only C and R can have scores came
independently from a5a323f3 (Add reference for status letters in
documentation., 2008-11-02) and it was wrong from the day one.

As per the code, the --repo <repo> option is equivalent to the
<repo> argument to 'git push', but somehow it was documented as
something that is more than that. [It exists for historical
reasons, back from the time when options had to come before
arguments.]
Say so. [But not that.]

The old text gave an impression that even in a new repository using
old form might be safer. Only Git from pre 1.7.0 days choke on the
correctly named variable, which is ancient by today's standard.
We have no intention to remove the support for deprecated ones, but
let's make sure that we do not give room for confused questions such
as "why does core.sparse-checkout not work, when add.ignore-errors
does?"

4fe10219 (rev-list: add --indexed-objects option, 2014-10-16) adds
"--indexed-objects" option to "rev-list", and it is only useful in
the context of "git rev-list" and not "git log". There are other
object traversal options that do not make sense for "git log" that
are shown in the manual page.
Move the description of "--indexed-objects" to the object traversal
section so that it sits together with its friends "--objects",
"--objects-edge", etc. and then show them only in "git rev-list"
documentation.

The assume-unchanged bit, and consequently core.ignoreStat, can be
misunderstood. Be assertive about the expectation that file changes should
notified to Git.
Overhaul the general wording thus:
1. direct description of what is ignored given first.
2. example instruction of the user manual action required.
3. use sideways indirection for assume-unchanged and update-index
references.
4. add a 'normally' to give leeway for the change detection.

Earlier we made "rev-list --object-edge" more aggressively list the
objects at the edge commits, in order to reduce number of objects
fetched into a shallow repository, but the change affected cases
other than "fetching into a shallow repository" and made it
unusably slow (e.g. fetching into a normal repository should not
have to suffer the overhead from extra processing). Limit it to a
more specific case by introducing --objects-edge-aggressive, a new
option to rev-list.

of the text a bit to explain more accurately what is required
for a valid CApath / CAfile.

When fetching into or pushing from a shallow repository, we want to
aggressively mark edges as uninteresting, since this decreases the pack
size. However, aggressively marking edges can negatively affect
performance on large non-shallow repositories with lots of refs.
Teach pack-objects a --shallow option to indicate that we're pushing
from or fetching into a shallow repository. Use
--objects-edge-aggressive only for shallow repositories and otherwise
use --objects-edge, which performs better in the general case. Update
the callers to pass the --shallow option when they are dealing with a
shallow repository.

In commit fbd4a70 (list-objects: mark more commits as edges in
mark_edges_uninteresting - 2013-08-16), we marked an increasing number
of edges uninteresting. This change, and the subsequent change to make
this conditional on --objects-edge, are used by --thin to make much
smaller packs for shallow clones.
Unfortunately, they cause a significant performance regression when
pushing non-shallow clones with lots of refs (23.322 seconds vs.
4.785 seconds with 22400 refs). Add an option to git rev-list,
--objects-edge-aggressive, that preserves this more aggressive behavior,
while leaving --objects-edge to provide more performant behavior.
Preserve the current behavior for the moment by using the aggressive
option.
