Remove the 'reset.quiet' config option, remove '--no-quiet' documentation in
'Documentation/git-reset.txt'. In 4c3abd0551 (reset: add new reset.quiet
config setting, 2018-10-23), 'reset.quiet' was introduced as a way to
globally change the default behavior of 'git reset --mixed' to skip index
refresh.
However, now that '--quiet' does not affect index refresh, 'reset.quiet'
would only serve to globally silence logging. This was not the original
intention of the config setting, and there's no precedent for such a setting
in other commands with a '--quiet' option, so it appears to be obsolete.
In addition to the options & its documentation, remove 'reset.quiet' from
the recommended config for 'scalar'.

The `git` executable has these two very useful options:
-C <directory>:
switch to the specified directory before performing any actions
-c <key>=<value>:
temporarily configure this setting for the duration of the
specified scalar subcommand
With this commit, we teach the `scalar` executable the same trick.
Note: It might look like a good idea to try to reuse the
`handle_options()` function in `git.c` instead of replicating only the
`-c`/`-C` part. However, that function is not only not in `libgit.a`, it
is also intricately entangled with the rest of the code in `git.c` that
is necessary e.g. to handle `--paginate`. Besides, no other option
handled by that `handle_options()` function is relevant to Scalar,
therefore the cost of refactoring vastly would outweigh the benefit.

The .NET version of Scalar has a `version` command. This was necessary
because it was versioned independently of Git.
Since Scalar is now tightly coupled with Git, it does not make sense for
them to show different versions. Therefore, it shows the same output as
`git version`. For backwards-compatibility with the .NET version,
`scalar version` prints to `stderr`, though (`git version` prints to
`stdout` instead).

Delete an enlistment by first unregistering the repository and then
deleting the enlistment directory (usually the directory containing the
worktree `src/` directory).
On Windows, if the current directory is inside the enlistment's
directory, change to the parent of the enlistment directory, to allow us
to delete the enlistment (directories used by processes e.g. as current
working directories cannot be deleted on Windows).

After a Scalar upgrade, it can come in really handy if there is an easy
way to reconfigure all Scalar enlistments. This new option offers this
functionality.

This comes in handy during Scalar upgrades, or when config settings were

Note: this subcommand is provided primarily for backwards-compatibility,
for existing Scalar uses. It is mostly just a shim for `git
maintenance`, mapping task names from the way Scalar called them to the
way Git calls them.
The reason why those names differ? The background maintenance was first
implemented in Scalar, and when it was contributed as a patch series
implementing the `git maintenance` command, reviewers suggested better
names, those suggestions were accepted before the patches were
integrated into core Git.

Just like `git clone`, the `scalar clone` command now also offers to
restrict the clone to a single branch.

This implements Scalar's opinionated `clone` command: it tries to use a
partial clone and sets up a sparse checkout by default. In contrast to
`git clone`, `scalar clone` sets up the worktree in the `src/`
subdirectory, to encourage a separation between the source files and the
build output (which helps Git tremendously because it avoids untracked
files that have to be specifically ignored when refreshing the index).
Also, it registers the repository for regular, scheduled maintenance,
and configures a flurry of configuration settings based on the
experience and experiments of the Microsoft Windows and the Microsoft
Office development teams.
Note: since the `scalar clone` command is by far the most commonly
called `scalar` subcommand, we document it at the top of the manual
page.

_still_ unregister it.

Just like `scalar register` starts the scheduled background maintenance,
`scalar unregister` stops it. Note that we use `git maintenance start`
in `scalar register`, but we do not use `git maintenance stop` in
`scalar unregister`: this would stop maintenance for _all_ repositories,
not just for the one we want to unregister.
The `unregister` command also removes the corresponding entry from the
`[scalar]` section in the global Git config.

Let's start implementing the `register` command. With this commit,
recommended settings are configured upon `scalar register`, and Git's
background maintenance is started.
The recommended config settings may very well change in the future. For
example, once the built-in FSMonitor is available, we will want to
enable it upon `scalar register`. For that reason, we explicitly support
running `scalar register` in an already-registered enlistment.

The idea of Scalar (https://github.com/microsoft/scalar), and before
that, of VFS for Git, has always been to prove that Git _can_ scale, and
to upstream whatever strategies have been demonstrated to help.
With this patch, we start the journey from that C# project to move what
is left to Git's own `contrib/` directory, reimplementing it in pure C,
with the intention to facilitate integrating the functionality into core
Git all while maintaining backwards-compatibility for existing Scalar
users (which will be much easier when both live in the same worktree).
It has always been the plan to contribute all of the proven strategies
back to core Git.
For example, while the virtual filesystem provided by VFS for Git helped
the team developing the Windows operating system to move onto Git, while
trying to upstream it we realized that it cannot be done: getting the
virtual filesystem to work (which we only managed to implement fully on
Windows, but not on, say, macOS or Linux), and the required server-side
support for the GVFS protocol, made this not quite feasible.
The Scalar project learned from that and tackled the problem with
different tactics: instead of pretending to Git that the working
directory is fully populated, it _specifically_ teaches Git about
partial clone (which is based on VFS for Git's cache server), about
sparse checkout (which VFS for Git tried to do transparently, in the
file system layer), and regularly runs maintenance tasks to keep the
repository in a healthy state.
With partial clone, sparse checkout and `git maintenance` having been
upstreamed, there is little left that `scalar.exe` does which `git.exe`
cannot do. One such thing is that `scalar clone <url>` will
automatically set up a partial, sparse clone, and configure
known-helpful settings from the start.
So let's bring this convenience into Git's tree.
The idea here is that you can (optionally) build Scalar via
make -C contrib/scalar/
This will build the `scalar` executable and put it into the
contrib/scalar/ subdirectory.
The slightly awkward addition of the `contrib/scalar/*` bits to the
top-level `Makefile` are actually really required: we want to link to
`libgit.a`, which means that we will need to use the very same `CFLAGS`
and `LDFLAGS` as the rest of Git.
An early development version of this patch tried to replicate all the
conditional code in `contrib/scalar/Makefile` (e.g. `NO_POLL`) just like
`contrib/svn-fe/Makefile` used to do before it was retired. It turned
out to be quite the whack-a-mole game: the SHA-1-related flags, the
flags enabling/disabling `compat/poll/`, `compat/regex/`,
`compat/win32mmap.c` & friends depending on the current platform... To
put it mildly: it was a major mess.
Instead, this patch makes minimal changes to the top-level `Makefile` so
that the bits in `contrib/scalar/` can be compiled and linked, and
adds a `contrib/scalar/Makefile` that uses the top-level `Makefile` in a
most minimal way to do the actual compiling.
Note: With this commit, we only establish the infrastructure, no
Scalar functionality is implemented yet; We will do that incrementally
over the next few commits.
