The "git fast-export/import" pair has been taught to handle commits

Since "git send-email" learned to take 'auto' as the value for the
transfer-encoding, it by mistake stopped honoring the values given
to the configuration variables sendemail.transferencoding and/or

(finally) redoing the order of setting the default, reading the
configuration and command line options.

If someone wants to use as a filter a sparse file that is in the
repository, something like "--filter=sparse:oid=<ref>:<path>"
already works.
So 'sparse:path' is only interesting if the sparse file is not in
the repository. In this case though the current implementation has
a big security issue, as it makes it possible to ask the server to
read any file, like for example /etc/password, and to explore the
filesystem, as well as individual lines of files.
If someone is interested in using a sparse file that is not in the
repository as a filter, then at the minimum a config option, such
as "uploadpack.sparsePathFilter", should be implemented first to
restrict the directory from which the files specified by
'sparse:path' can be read.
For now though, let's just disable 'sparse:path' filters.

Fix a regression in my recent 3494dfd3ee ("send-email: do defaults ->
config -> getopt in that order", 2019-05-09). I missed that the
$identity variable needs to be extracted from the command-line before
we do the config reading, as it determines which config variable we
should read first. See [1] for the report.
The sendemail.identity feature was added back in
34cc60ce2b ("send-email: Add support for SSL and SMTP-AUTH",
2007-09-03), there were no tests to assert that it worked properly.
So let's fix both the regression, and add some tests to assert that
this is being parsed properly. While I'm at it I'm adding a
--no-identity option to go with --[to|cc|bcc] variable, since the
semantics are similar. It's like to/cc/bcc except that unlike those we
don't support multiple identities, but we could now easily add it
support for it if anyone cares.
In just fixing the --identity command-line parsing bug I discovered
that a narrow fix to that wouldn't do. In read_config() we had a state
machine that would only set config values if they weren't set already,
and thus by proxy we wouldn't e.g. set "to" based on sendemail.to if
we'd seen sendemail.gmail.to before, with --identity=gmail.
I'd modified some of the relevant code in 3494dfd3ee, but just
reverting to that wouldn't do, since it would bring back the
regression fixed in that commit.
Refactor read_config() do what we actually mean here. We don't want to
set a given sendemail.VAR if a sendemail.$identity.VAR previously set
it. The old code was conflating this desire with the hardcoded
defaults for these variables, and as discussed in 3494dfd3ee that was
never going to work. Instead pass along the state of whether an
identity config set something before, as distinguished from the state
of the default just being false, or the default being a non-bool or
true (e.g. --transferencoding).
I'm still not happy with the test coverage here, e.g. there's nothing
testing sendemail.smtpEncryption, but I only have so much time to fix
this code.

As of Git v2.22.0, the `--preserve-merges` backend of `git rebase` will
be officially deprecated in favor of the `--rebase-merges` backend.
Consequently, `git pull --rebase=preserve` will also be deprected. State
this explicitly.

Convert option_commit to tristate, representing the states of
'default/untouched', 'enabled-by-cli', 'disabled-by-cli'. With this in
place, check whether option_commit was enabled by cli when squashing a
merge. If so, error out, as this is not supported.
Previously, when --squash was supplied, 'option_commit' was silently
dropped. This could have been surprising to a user who tried to override
the no-commit behavior of squash using --commit explicitly.
Add a note to the --squash option for git-merge to clarify the
incompatibility, and add a test case to t7600-merge.sh

The descriptions of the GIT_TRACE2* environment variables link to the
technical docs for further details on the supported values. However,
a link like this only really works if the docs are viewed in a browser
and the full documentation is available. OTOH, in 'man git' there are
no links to conveniently click on, and distro-shipped git packages
tend to include only the man pages, while the technical docs and the
docs in html format are in a separate 'git-doc' package.
So let's describe the supported values to make the manpage more
self-contained, but still keep the references to the technical docs
because the details of the SID, and the JSON and perf output formats
are definitely beyond the scope of 'man git'.

For an environment variable that is supposed to be set by users, the
GIT_TR2* env vars are just too unclear, inconsistent, and ugly.
Most of the established GIT_* environment variables don't use
abbreviations, and in case of the few that do (GIT_DIR,
GIT_COMMON_DIR, GIT_DIFF_OPTS) it's quite obvious what the
abbreviations (DIR and OPTS) stand for. But what does TR stand for?
Track, traditional, trailer, transaction, transfer, transformation,
transition, translation, transplant, transport, traversal, tree,
trigger, truncate, trust, or ...?!
The trace2 facility, as the '2' suffix in its name suggests, is
supposed to eventually supercede Git's original trace facility. It's
reasonable to expect that the corresponding environment variables
follow suit, and after the original GIT_TRACE variables they are
called GIT_TRACE2; there is no such thing is 'GIT_TR'.
All trace2-specific config variables are, very sensibly, in the
'trace2' section, not in 'tr2'.
OTOH, we don't gain anything at all by omitting the last three
characters of "trace" from the names of these environment variables.
So let's rename all GIT_TR2* environment variables to GIT_TRACE2*,
before they make their way into a stable release.

There appears to be a bug in the toolchain generating manpages from
lettered lists. When a list is enumerated with letters, the resulting
nroff shows numbers instead. Mostly this is harmless, but in the case of
gitsubmodules, the paragraph following the list refers back to each
bullet by letter. As a result, reading this documentation via `man
gitsubmodules` is hard to parse - readers must infer that a bug exists
and a refers to 1, b refers to 2, and c refers to 3 in the list above.
The problem specifically was introduced in ad47194; previously rather
than generating numerated lists the bulleted area was entirely
monospaced in HTML and shown in plaintext in nroff.
The bug seems to exist in docbook-xml - I've reported it on May 1 via
the docbook-apps mail list - but for now it may make more sense to just
work around the issue.

When using `git clone --recurse-submodules` there was previously no way to
pass a `--remote` switch to the implicit `git submodule update` command for
any use case where you want the submodules to be checked out on their
remote-tracking branch rather than with the SHA-1 recorded in the superproject.
This patch rectifies this situation. It actually passes `--no-fetch` to
`git submodule update` as well on the grounds they the submodule has only just
been cloned, so fetching from the remote again only serves to slow things down.

During the course of review for MyFirstContribution.txt, the suggestion
came up to include anchors to make it easier for veteran contributors to
link specific sections of this documents to newbies. To make life easier
for reviewers, add these anchors in their own commit. See review context
here: https://public-inbox.org/git/20190507195938.GD220818@google.com/
AsciiDoc does not support :sectanchors: and the anchors are not
discoverable, but they are referenceable. So a link to
"foo.com/MyFirstContribution.html#prerequisites" will still work if that
file was generated with AsciiDoc. The inclusion of :sectanchors: does
not create warnings or errors while compiling directly with `asciidoc -b
html5 Documentation/MyFirstContribution.txt` or while compiling with
`make doc`.
AsciiDoctor does support :sectanchors: and displays a paragraph link on
mouseover. When the anchor is included above or inline with a section
(as in this change), the link provided points to the custom ID contained
within [[]] instead of to an autogenerated ID. Practically speaking,
this means we have .../MyFirstContribution.html#summary instead of
.../MyFirstContribution.html#_summary. In addition to being prettier,
the custom IDs also enable anchor linking to work with
asciidoc-generated pages. This change compiles with no warnings using
`asciidoctor -b html5 Documentation/MyFirstContribution.txt`.

This allows to cancel the current merge without resetting worktree/index,
which is what --abort is for. Like other --quit(s), this is often used
when you forgot that you're in the middle of a merge and already
switched away, doing different things. By the time you've realized, you
can't even continue the merge anymore.
This also makes all in-progress commands, am, merge, rebase, revert and
cherry-pick, take all three --abort, --continue and --quit (bisect has a
different UI).

In git-format-patch, notes can be appended with the `--notes` option.
However, this must be specified by the user on an
invocation-by-invocation basis. If a user is not careful, it's possible
that they may forget to include it and generate a patch series without
notes.
Teach git-format-patch the `format.notes` config option. Its value is a
notes ref that will be automatically appended. The special value of
"standard" can be used to specify the standard notes. This option is
overridable with the `--no-notes` option in case a user wishes not to
append notes.

Do not change the existing info/refs and objects/info/packs
files if they match the existing content on the filesystem.
This is intended to preserve mtime and make it easier for dumb
HTTP pollers to rely on the If-Modified-Since header.
Combined with stdio and kernel buffering; the kernel should be
able to avoid block layer writes and reduce wear for small files.
As a result, the --force option is no longer needed. So stop
documenting it, but let it remain for compatibility (and
debugging, if necessary).

OOM with giant files. Remove documentation for --force.

Automatic re-encoding of commit messages (and dropping of the encoding
header) hurts attempts to do reversible history rewrites (e.g. sha1sum
<-> sha256sum transitions, some subtree rewrites), and seems
inconsistent with the general principle followed elsewhere in
fast-export of requiring explicit user requests to modify the output
(e.g. --signed-tags=strip, --tag-of-filtered-object=rewrite). Add a
--reencode flag that the user can use to specify, and like other
fast-export flags, default it to 'abort'.

Since git supports commit messages with an encoding other than UTF-8,
allow fast-import to import such commits. This may be useful for folks
who do not want to reencode commit messages from an external system, and
may also be useful to achieve reversible history rewrites (e.g. sha1sum
<-> sha256sum transitions or subtree work) with git repositories that
have used specialized encodings in their commit history.
