Make git-credential-cache follow the XDG base path specification by
default. This increases consistency with other applications and helps
keep clutter out of users' home directories.
Check the old socket location, ~/.git-credential-cache/, and use
~/.git-credential-cache/socket if that directory exists rather than
forcing users who have used `git credential-cache` before to migrate to
the new XDG compliant location.
Otherwise use the socket $XDG_CACHE_HOME/git/credential/socket following
XDG base path specification. Use the subdirectory credential/ in case
other files are cached under $XDG_CACHE_HOME/git/ in the future and to
make the socket's purpose clear.

Now that stash_push is used in the no verb form of stash, allow
specifying the command line for this form as well. Always use -- to
disambiguate pathspecs from other non-option arguments.
Also make git stash -p an alias for git stash push -p. This allows
users to use git stash -p <pathspec>.

Now that we have stash_push, which accepts pathspec arguments, use
it instead of stash_save in git stash without any additional verbs.
Previously we allowed git stash -- -message, which is no longer allowed
after this patch. Messages starting with a hyphen was allowed since
3c2eb80f, ("stash: simplify defaulting to "save" and reject unknown
options"). However it was never the intent to allow that, but rather it
was allowed accidentally.

While working on a repository, it's often helpful to stash the changes
of a single or multiple files, and leave others alone. Unfortunately
git currently offers no such option. git stash -p can be used to work
around this, but it's often impractical when there are a lot of changes
over multiple files.
Allow 'git stash push' to take pathspec to specify which paths to stash.

When a submodule is initialized, the config variable 'submodule.<name>.url'
is set depending on the value of the same variable in the .gitmodules
file. When the URL indicates to be relative, then the url is computed
relative to its default remote. The default remote cannot be determined
accurately in all cases, such that it falls back to 'origin'.
The 'origin' remote may not exist, though. In that case we give up looking
for a suitable remote and we'll just assume it to be a local relative path.
This can be confusing to users as there is a lot of guessing involved,
which is not obvious to the user.
So in the corner case of assuming a local autoritative truth, warn the
user to lessen the confusion.
This behavior was introduced in 4d6893200 (submodule add: allow relative
repository path even when no url is set, 2011-06-06), which shared the
code with submodule-init and then ported to C in 3604242f080a (submodule:
port init from shell to C, 2016-04-15).
In case of submodule-add, this behavior makes sense in some use cases[1],
however for submodule-init there does not seem to be an immediate obvious
use case to fall back to a local submodule. However there might be, so
warn instead of die here.
While adding the warning, also clarify the behavior of relative URLs in
the documentation.

The gitdiffcore documentation quotes the term "Complete Rewrites" in
headers for no real gain. This would make sense if the term could be
easily confused if not properly grouped together. But actually, the term
is quite obvious and thus does not really need any quoting, especially
regarding that it is not used anywhere else.
But more importanly, this brings up a bug when rendering man pages: when
trying to render quotes inside of a section header, we end up with
quotes which have been misaligned to the end of line. E.g.
diffcore-break: For Splitting Up Complete Rewrites
--------------------------------------------------
renders as
DIFFCORE-BREAK: FOR SPLITTING UP COMPLETE REWRITES""
, which is obviously wrong. While this is fixable for the man pages by
using double-quotes (e.g. ""COMPLETE REWRITES""), this again breaks it
for our generated HTML pages.
So fix the issue by simply dropping quotes inside of section headers,
which is currently only done for the term "Complete Rewrites".

The command line options for ssh invocation needs to be tweaked for
some implementations of SSH (e.g. PuTTY plink wants "-P <port>"
while OpenSSH wants "-p <port>" to specify port to connect to), and
the variant was guessed when GIT_SSH environment variable is used

The documentation for git blame used vertical bars for optional
arguments to -M and -C, which is unusual and potentially confusing.
Since most man pages use brackets for optional items, and that's
consistent with how we document the same options for git diff and
friends, use brackets here, too.

Introduce a new git stash push verb in addition to git stash save. The
push verb is used to transition from the current command line arguments
to a more conventional way, in which the message is given as an argument
to the -m option.
This allows us to have pathspecs at the end of the command line
arguments like other Git commands do, so that the user can say which
subset of paths to stash (and leave others behind).

Not just . and .., but any path that begins with dot is not copied
when copying the template directory to a new repository. You can
customize the template directory, copying some dotfiles might make
sense, but it's actually a good thing not to, because you would not
want to have your git directory copied in every git directory that
is created should you decide to put your template directory under
version control, for example. Plus, it might be used as a feature
by people who would want to exclude some files.

It is often useful to break a commit into multiple parts that are more
logical separations. This can be tricky to learn how to do without the
brute-force method if re-writing code or commit messages from scratch.
Add a section to the git-reset documentation which shows an example
process for how to use git add -p and git commit -c HEAD@{1} to
interactively break a commit apart and re-use the original commit
message as a starting point when making the new commit message.

A server can end up in a state where there are lots of unreferenced
loose objects (say, because many users are doing a bunch of rebasing
and pushing their rebased branches). Running "git gc --auto" in
this state would cause a gc.log file to be created, preventing
future auto gcs, causing pack files to pile up. Since many git
operations are O(n) in the number of pack files, this would lead to
poor performance.
Git should never get itself into a state where it refuses to do any
maintenance, just because at some point some piece of the maintenance
didn't make progress.
Teach Git to ignore gc.log files which are older than (by default)
one day old, which can be tweaked via the gc.logExpiry configuration
variable. That way, these pack files will get cleaned up, if
necessary, at least once per day. And operators who find a need for
more-frequent gcs can adjust gc.logExpiry to meet their needs.
There is also some cleanup: a successful manual gc, or a
warning-free auto gc with an old log file, will remove any old
gc.log files.
It might still happen that manual intervention is required
(e.g. because the repo is corrupt), but at the very least it won't
be because Git is too dumb to try again.
