The functionality of "$GIT_DIR/info/grafts" has been superseded by
the "refs/replace/" mechanism for some time now, but the internal

"git gc" in a large repository takes a lot of time as it considers
to repack all objects into one pack by default. The command has
been taught to pretend as if the largest existing packfile is

The current document mentions OBJ_* constants without their actual
values. A git developer would know these are from cache.h but that's
not very friendly to a person who wants to read this file to implement
a pack file parser.
Similarly, the deltified representation is not documented at all (the
"document" is basically patch-delta.c). Translate that C code to
English with a bit more about what ofs-delta and ref-delta mean.

In commit dc8441fdb ("config: don't implicitly use gitdir or commondir",
2017-06-14) the function git_config_with_options was renamed to
config_with_options to better reflect the fact that it does not access
the git global config or the repo config by default.
However Documentation/technical/api-config.txt still refers to the
previous name, fix that.
While at it also update the documentation about the extra parameters,
because they too changed since the initial definition.

It is possible to configure 'less', the pager, to use an alternate
screen to show the content, for example, by setting LESS=RS in the
environment. When it is closed in this configuration, it switches
back to the original screen, and all content is gone.
It is not uncommon to request that the output remains visible in
the terminal. For this, the option --no-pager can be used. But
it is a bit cumbersome to type, even when command completion is
available. Provide a short option, -P, to make the option more
easily accessible.

Currently 'git worktree add <path>' creates a new branch named after the
basename of the path by default. If a branch with that name already
exists, the command refuses to do anything, unless the '--force' option
is given.
However we can do a little better than that, and check the branch out if
it is not checked out anywhere else. This will help users who just want
to check an existing branch out into a new worktree, and save a few
keystrokes.
As the current behaviour is to simply 'die()' when a branch with the name
of the basename of the path already exists, there are no backwards
compatibility worries here.
We will still 'die()' if the branch is checked out in another worktree,
unless the --force flag is passed.

This is a follow-up to a6c786fce8 (Mark http-fetch without -a as
deprecated, 2011-08-23). For more than six years, we have been warning
when `-a` is not provided, and the documentation has been saying that
`-a` will become the default.
It is a bit unclear what "default" means here. There is no such thing as
`http-fetch --no-a`. But according to my searches, no-one has been
asking on the mailing list how they should silence the warning and
prepare for overriding the flipped default. So let's assume that
everybody is happy with `-a`. They should be, since not using it may
break the repo in such a way that Git itself is unable to fix it.
Always behave as if `-a` was given. Since `-a` implies `-c` (get commit
objects) and `-t` (get trees), all three options are now unnecessary.
Document all of these as historical artefacts that have no effect.
Leave no-op code for handling these options in http-fetch.c. The
options-handling is currently rather loose. If someone tightens it, we
will not want these ignored options to accidentally turn into hard
errors.
Since `-a` was the only safe and sane usage and we have been pushing
people towards it for a long time, refrain from warning when it is used
"unnecessarily" now. Similarly, do not add anything scary-looking to the
man-page about how it will be removed in the future. We can always do so
later. (It is not like we are in desperate need of freeing up
one-letter arguments.)

As of this commit, the canonical way to retreive an ANSI-compatible
color escape sequence from a configuration file is with the
`--get-color` action.
This is to allow Git to "fall back" on a default value for the color
should the given section not exist in the specified configuration(s).
With the addition of `--default`, this is no longer needed since:
$ git config --default red --type=color core.section
will be have exactly as:
$ git config --get-color core.section red
For consistency, let's introduce `--type=color` and encourage its use
with `--default` together over `--get-color` alone.

For some use cases, callers of the `git-config(1)` builtin would like to
fallback to default values when the variable asked for does not exist.
In addition, users would like to use existing type specifiers to ensure
that values are parsed correctly when they do exist in the
configuration.
For example, to fetch a value without a type specifier and fallback to
`$fallback`, the following is required:
$ git config core.foo || echo "$fallback"
This is fine for most values, but can be tricky for difficult-to-express
`$fallback`'s, like ANSI color codes.
This motivates `--get-color`, which is a one-off exception to the normal
type specifier rules wherein a user specifies both the configuration
variable and an optional fallback. Both are formatted according to their
type specifier, which eases the burden on the user to ensure that values
are correctly formatted.
This commit (and those following it in this series) aim to eventually
replace `--get-color` with a consistent alternative. By introducing
`--default`, we allow the `--get-color` action to be promoted to a
`--type=color` type specifier, retaining the "fallback" behavior via the
`--default` flag introduced in this commit.
For example, we aim to replace:
$ git config --get-color variable [default] [...]
with:
$ git config --default default --type=color variable [...]
Values filled by `--default` behave exactly as if they were present in
the affected configuration file; they will be parsed by type specifiers
without the knowledge that they are not themselves present in the
configuration.
Specifically, this means that the following will work:
$ git config --int --default 1M does.not.exist
1048576
In subsequent commits, we will offer `--type=color`, which (in
conjunction with `--default`) will be sufficient to replace
`--get-color`.

`git config` has long allowed the ability for callers to provide a 'type
specifier', which instructs `git config` to (1) ensure that incoming
values can be interpreted as that type, and (2) that outgoing values are
canonicalized under that type.
In another series, we propose to extend this functionality with
`--type=color` and `--default` to replace `--get-color`.
However, we traditionally use `--color` to mean "colorize this output",
instead of "this value should be treated as a color".
Currently, `git config` does not support this kind of colorization, but
we should be careful to avoid squatting on this option too soon, so that
`git config` can support `--color` (in the traditional sense) in the
future, if that is desired.
In this patch, we support `--type=<int|bool|bool-or-int|...>` in
addition to `--int`, `--bool`, and etc. This allows the aforementioned
upcoming patch to support querying a color value with a default via
`--type=color --default=...`, without squandering `--color`.
We retain the historic behavior of complaining when multiple,
legacy-style `--<type>` flags are given, as well as extend this to
conflicting new-style `--type=<type>` flags. `--int --type=int` (and its
commutative pair) does not complain, but `--bool --type=int` (and its
commutative pair) does.
