Support POSIX, bashism and mixed function declarations, all four
compound command types, trailing comments and mixed whitespace.
Even though Bash allows locale-dependent characters in function names
<https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/245336/3645>, only detect function
names with characters allowed by POSIX.1-2017
<https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/V1_chap03.html#tag_03_235>
for simplicity. This should cover the vast majority of use cases, and
produces system-agnostic results.
Since a word pattern has to be specified, but there is no easy way to
know the default word pattern, use the default `IFS` characters for a
starter. A later patch can improve this.

Add a new diff option that enables ignoring changes whose all lines
(changed, removed, and added) match a given regular expression. This is
similar to the -I/--ignore-matching-lines option in standalone diff
utilities and can be used e.g. to ignore changes which only affect code
comments or to look for unrelated changes in commits containing a large
number of automatically applied modifications (e.g. a tree-wide string
replacement). The difference between -G/-S and the new -I option is
that the latter filters output on a per-change basis.
Use the 'ignore' field of xdchange_t for marking a change as ignored or
not. Since the same field is used by --ignore-blank-lines, identical
hunk emitting rules apply for --ignore-blank-lines and -I. These two
options can also be used together in the same git invocation (they are
complementary to each other).
Rename xdl_mark_ignorable() to xdl_mark_ignorable_lines(), to indicate
that it is logically a "sibling" of xdl_mark_ignorable_regex() rather
than its "parent".

Ted reported an old typo in the git-commit.txt and merge-options.txt.
Namely, the phrase "Signed-off-by line" was used without either a
definite nor indefinite article.
Upon examination, it seems that the documentation (including items in
Documentation/, but also option help strings) have been quite
inconsistent on usage when referring to `Signed-off-by`.
First, very few places used a definite or indefinite article with the
phrase "Signed-off-by line", but that was the initial typo that led
to this investigation. So, normalize using either an indefinite or
definite article consistently.
The original phrasing, in Commit 3f971fc425b (Documentation updates,
2005-08-14), is "Add Signed-off-by line". Commit 6f855371a53 (Add
--signoff, --check, and long option-names. 2005-12-09) switched to
using "Add `Signed-off-by:` line", but didn't normalize the former
commit to match. Later commits seem to have cut and pasted from one
or the other, which is likely how the usage became so inconsistent.
Junio stated on the git mailing list in
<xmqqy2k1dfoh.fsf@gitster.c.googlers.com> a preference to leave off
the colon. Thus, prefer `Signed-off-by` (with backticks) for the
documentation files and Signed-off-by (without backticks) for option
help strings.
Additionally, Junio argued that "trailer" is now the standard term to
refer to `Signed-off-by`, saying that "becomes plenty clear that we
are not talking about any random line in the log message". As such,
prefer "trailer" over "line" anywhere the former word fits.
However, leave alone those few places in documentation that use
Signed-off-by to refer to the process (rather than the specific
trailer), or in places where mail headers are generally discussed in
comparison with Signed-off-by.

The description on sign-off and DCO was written back in the days
where there was only a choice between "use sign-off and it means the
contributor agrees to the Linux-kernel style DCO" and "not using
sign-off at all will make your patch unusable". These days, we are
trying to clarify that the exact meaning of a sign-off varies
project to project.
Let's be more explicit when presenting what _our_ rules are. It is
of secondary importance that it originally came from the kernel
project, so move the description as a historical note at the end,
while cautioning that what a sign-off means to us may be different from
what it means to other projects contributors may have been used to.

Building on past documentation improvements in b2c150d3aa (Expand
documentation describing --signoff, 2016-01-05), further clarify
that any project using Git may and often does set its own policy.
However, leave intact reference to the Linux DCO, which Git also
uses. It is reasonable for Git to advocate for its own Signed-off-by
methodology in its documentation, as long as the documentation
remains respectful that YMMV and other projects may well have very
different contributor representations tied to Signed-off-by.

Almost identical text on the signed-off-by trailer appears in the
documentation for "git commit" and "git merge" and its friends.
Introduce a new signoff-option.txt file to be shared. A couple of
things of note are:
- The short-form "-s" is available only in "git commit", but not in
commands that are friends of "git merge", as it is used as a
short-hand for "--strategy".
- The original lacks description on the negated "--no-signoff" form
on "git commit" side, but it equally is applicable. It however
was unclear in the original text that not adding a Signed-off-by
trailer is the default, so rephrase to explain it as a way to
countermand a --signoff option that appeared earlier on the same
command line.
This is in preparation to apply a further clarification on what
exactly the Signed-off-by trailer means.

Per IRC:
[19:52] <lkmandy> With respect to the MyFirstContribution tutorial, I
will like to suggest this - Under the section "Adding Documentation",
just before the "make all doc" command, it will be really helpful to
prompt a user to check if they have the asciidoc package installed, if
they don't, the command should be provided or they can just be pointed
to install it
So, let's move the note about the dependency to before the build command
blockquote.

The "git worktree list" shows the absolute path to the working tree,
the commit that is checked out and the name of the branch. It is not
immediately obvious which of the worktrees, if any, are locked.
"git worktree remove" refuses to remove a locked worktree with
an error message. If "git worktree list" told which worktrees
are locked in its output, the user would not even attempt to
remove such a worktree, or would realize that
"git worktree remove -f -f <path>" is required.
Teach "git worktree list" to append "locked" to its output.
The output from the command becomes like so:
$ git worktree list
/path/to/main abc123 [master]
/path/to/worktree 456def (detached HEAD)
/path/to/locked-worktree 123abc (detached HEAD) locked

The core.commitGraph config setting can be set to 'false' to prevent
parsing commits from the commit-graph file(s). This causes an issue when
trying to write with "--split" which needs to distinguish between
commits that are in the existing commit-graph layers and commits that
are not. The existing mechanism uses parse_commit() and follows by
checking if there is a 'graph_pos' that shows the commit was parsed from
the commit-graph file.
When core.commitGraph=false, we do not parse the commits from the
commit-graph and 'graph_pos' indicates that no commits are in the
existing file. The --split logic moves forward creating a new layer on
top that holds all reachable commits, then possibly merges down into
those layers, resulting in duplicate commits. The previous change makes
that merging process more robust to such a situation in case it happens
in the written commit-graph data.
The easy answer here is to avoid writing a commit-graph if reading the
commit-graph is disabled. Since the resulting commit-graph will would not
be read by subsequent Git processes. This is more natural than forcing
core.commitGraph to be true for the 'write' process.

The current behavior of git checkout/switch is that --guess is currently
enabled by default. However, some users may not wish for this to happen
automatically. Instead of forcing users to specify --no-guess manually
each time, teach these commands the checkout.guess configuration
variable that gives users the option to set a default behavior.
Teach the completion script to recognize the new config variable and
disable DWIM logic if it is set to false.

`git ls-files` was never taught to respect the `submodule.recurse`
configuration variable, and it is too late now to change that [1],
but still the command is mentioned in 'gitsubmodules(7)' as if it
does respect that config.
Adjust the call in 'gitsubmodules(7)' by calling 'ls-files' with the
'--recurse-submodules' option.
While at it, uniformize the capitalization in that file, and use
backticks instead of quotes for Git commands and configuration
variables.
