The manual correctly describes the syntax with `auto,` but the
trailing `,` is hard to spot in a terminal. The HTML format does not
have this problem. Adding an example helps both worlds.

When illustrating how to normalize the line endings, the
documentation in gitattributes tells the user to `rm .git/index`.
This is incorrect for two reasons:
- Users shouldn't be instructed to mess around with the internal
implementation of Git using raw file system tools like `rm`.
- Within a submodule or an additional working tree `.git` is just a
file containing a `gitdir: <path>` pointer into the real `.git`
directory. Therefore `rm .git/index` does not work.
The purpose of the `rm .git/index` instruction is to remove all entries
from the index without touching the working tree. The way to do this
with Git is to use `read-tree --empty`.

"git status --ignored" did not list ignored and untracked files
without "-uall". These have been corrected.

When compiling the documentation, asciidoc thinks a backtick surrounded
by whitespace shouldn't be interpreted as marking the start or end of a
literal. In most cases, that's useful behaviour, but in the git-pull
documentation it means asciidoc is failing to correctly detect which
text should be monospaced and which shouldn't.
To avoid this, remove the extraneous spaces from the text to be
monospaced. It would also be possible to fix the formatting by
switching to asciidoc's ++ monospace format markers and still have the
space characters included in the monospace text, but the spaces aren't
necessary and not having them keeps the markup simpler.
Also include a minor grammar fix suggested by Jeff while we're changing
these lines.

If a URL rewrite switches the protocol to something
nonstandard (like "persistent-https" for "https"), the user
may be bitten by the fact that the default protocol
restrictions are different between the two. Let's drop a
note in insteadOf that points the user in the right
direction.
It would be nice if we could make this work out of the box,
but we can't without knowing the security implications of
the user's rewrite. Only the documentation for a particular
remote helper can advise one way or the other. Since we do
include the persistent-https helper in contrib/ (and since
it was the helper in the real-world case that inspired that
patch), let's also drop a note there.

Change all the "TRANSLATORS: [...]" comments in the C code to use the
regular Git coding style, and amend the style guide so that the
example there uses that style.
This custom style was necessary back in 2010 when the gettext support
was initially added, and was subsequently documented in commit
cbcfd4e3ea ("i18n: mention "TRANSLATORS:" marker in
Documentation/CodingGuidelines", 2014-04-18).
GNU xgettext hasn't had the parsing limitation that necessitated this
exception for almost 3 years. Since its 0.19 release on 2014-06-02
it's been able to recognize TRANSLATOR comments in the standard Git
comment syntax[1].
Usually we'd like to keep compatibility with software that's that
young, but in this case literally the only person who needs to be
using a gettext newer than 3 years old is Jiang Xin (the only person
who runs & commits "make pot" results), so I think in this case we can
make an exception.
This xgettext parsing feature was added after a thread on the Git
mailing list[2] which continued on the bug-gettext[3] list, but we
never subsequently changed our style & styleguide, do so.
There are already longstanding changes in git that use the standard
comment style & have their TRANSLATORS comments extracted properly
without getting the literal "*"'s mixed up in the text, as would
happen before xgettext 0.19.
Commit 7ff2683253 ("builtin-am: implement -i/--interactive",
2015-08-04) added one such comment, which in commit df0617bfa7 ("l10n:
git.pot: v2.6.0 round 1 (123 new, 41 removed)", 2015-09-05) got picked
up in the po/git.pot file with the right format, showing that Jiang
already runs a modern xgettext.
The xgettext parser does not handle the sort of non-standard comment
style that I'm amending here in sequencer.c, but that isn't standard
Git comment syntax anyway. With this change to sequencer.c & "make
pot" the comment in the pot file is now correct:
#. TRANSLATORS: %s will be "revert", "cherry-pick" or
-#. * "rebase -i".
+#. "rebase -i".

When we taught read_directory_recursive() to recurse into untracked
directories in search of ignored files given DIR_SHOW_IGNORED_TOO, that
had the side effect of teaching it to collect the untracked contents of
untracked directories. It doesn't always make sense to return these,
though (we do need them for `clean -d`), so we introduce a flag
(DIR_KEEP_UNTRACKED_CONTENTS) to control whether or not read_directory()
strips dir->entries of the untracked contents of untracked dirs.
We also introduce check_contains() to check if one dir_entry corresponds
to a path which contains the path corresponding to another dir_entry.
This also fixes known breakages in t7061, since status --ignored now
searches untracked directories for ignored files.

"git read-tree -m" requires a tree argument to name the tree to be
merged in. Git uses a cutesy error message to say so and why:
$ git read-tree -m
warning: read-tree: emptying the index with no arguments is
deprecated; use --empty
fatal: just how do you expect me to merge 0 trees?
$ git read-tree -m --empty
fatal: just how do you expect me to merge 0 trees?
When lucky, that could produce an ah-hah moment for the user, but it's
more likely to irritate and distract them.
Instead, tell the user plainly that the tree argument is
required. Also document this requirement in the git-read-tree(1)
manpage where there is room to explain it in a more straightforward way.

Most of the include examples use "foo.inc", but some use
"foo". Since the string of examples are meant to show
variations and how they differ, it's a good idea to change
only one thing at a time. The filename differences are not
relevant to what we're trying to show.

Using the word "expand" to refer to including the contents
of another config file isn't really accurate, since it's a
verbatim insertion. And it can cause confusion with the
expanding of the path itself via things like "~".
Let's clarify when we are referring to the contents versus
the filename, and use appropriate verbs in each case.

The changes in the previous commit hopefully clarify that

matter if it's in a conditional section or not. But since

The "includeIf" directives behave exactly like include ones,
except they only kick in when the conditional is true. That
was mentioned in the "conditional" section, but let's make
it more clear for the whole "includes" section, since people
don't necessarily read the documentation top to bottom.
