Two related changes, with separate rationale for each:
Rename the 'interactive' backend to 'merge' because:
* 'interactive' as a name caused confusion; this backend has been used
for many kinds of non-interactive rebases, and will probably be used
in the future for more non-interactive rebases than interactive ones
given that we are making it the default.
* 'interactive' is not the underlying strategy; merging is.
* the directory where state is stored is not called
.git/rebase-interactive but .git/rebase-merge.
Rename the 'am' backend to 'apply' because:
* Few users are familiar with git-am as a reference point.
* Related to the above, the name 'am' makes sentences in the
documentation harder for users to read and comprehend (they may read
it as the verb from "I am"); avoiding this difficult places a large
burden on anyone writing documentation about this backend to be very
careful with quoting and sentence structure and often forces
annoying redundancy to try to avoid such problems.
* Users stumble over pronunciation ("am" as in "I am a person not a
backend" or "am" as in "the first and thirteenth letters in the
alphabet in order are "A-M"); this may drive confusion when one user
tries to explain to another what they are doing.
* While "am" is the tool driving this backend, the tool driving git-am
is git-apply, and since we are driving towards lower-level tools
for the naming of the merge backend we may as well do so here too.
* The directory where state is stored has never been called
.git/rebase-am, it was always called .git/rebase-apply.
For all the reasons listed above:
* Modify the documentation to refer to the backends with the new names
* Provide a brief note in the documentation connecting the new names
to the old names in case users run across the old names anywhere
(e.g. in old release notes or older versions of the documentation)
* Change the (new) --am command line flag to --apply
* Rename some enums, variables, and functions to reinforce the new
backend names for us as well.

We have many rebase tests in the testsuite, and often the same test is
repeated multiple times just testing different backends. For those
tests that were specifically trying to test the am backend, add the --am
flag.

When reverting or cherry-picking, one of the options we can pass the
sequencer is `--skip`. However, unlike rebasing, `--skip` is not
mentioned as a possible option in the status message. Mention it so that
users are more aware of their options.

Two new commands "git switch" and "git restore" are introduced to
split "checking out a branch to work on advancing its history" and
"checking out paths out of the index and/or a tree-ish to work on
advancing the current history" out of the single "git checkout"
command.
* nd/switch-and-restore: (46 commits)

switch: allow to switch in the middle of bisect
t2027: use test_must_be_empty
Declare both git-switch and git-restore experimental

commit 4a72486de9 ("fix cherry-pick/revert status after commit",
2019-04-16) used parse_insn_line() to parse the first line of the todo
list to check if it was a pick or revert. However if the todo list is
left over from an old cherry-pick or revert and references a commit that
no longer exists then parse_insn_line() prints an error message which is
confusing for users [1]. Instead parse just the command name so that the
user is alerted to the presence of stale sequencer state by status
reporting that a cherry-pick or revert is in progress.
Note that we should not be leaving stale sequencer state lying around
(or at least not as often) after commit b07d9bfd17 ("commit/reset: try
to clean up sequencer state", 2019-04-16). However the user may still
have stale state that predates that commit.
Also avoid printing an error message if for some reason the user has a
file called `sequencer` in $GIT_DIR.

Before this patch, there is inconsistency between the status
messages with hints and the ones without hints: there is an
empty line between the title and the file list if hints are
presented, but there isn't one if there are no hints.
This patch remove the inconsistency by removing the empty
lines even if hints are presented.

The new command "git restore" (together with "git switch") are added
to avoid the confusion of one-command-do-all "git checkout" for new
users. They are also helpful to avoid ambiguous context.
For these reasons, promote it everywhere possible. This includes
documentation, suggestions/advice from other commands.
One nice thing about git-restore is the ability to restore
"everything", so it can be used in "git status" advice instead of both
"git checkout" and "git reset". The three commands suggested by "git
status" are add, rm and restore.
"git checkout" is also removed from "git help" (i.e. it's no longer
considered a commonly used command)

When we show unmerged paths, we had an artificial 20 columns floor
for the width of labels (e.g. "both deleted:") shown next to the
pathnames. Depending on the locale, this may result in a label that
is too wide when all the label strings are way shorter than 20
columns, or no-op when a label string is longer than 20 columns.
Just drop the artificial floor. The screen real estate is better
utilized this way when all the strings are shorter.
Adjust the tests to this change.

The previous commit set status.displayCommentPrefix file-wide in
t7060-wtstatus.sh, t7508-status.sh and t/t7512-status-help.sh to make the
patch small. However, now that status.displayCommentPrefix is not the
default, it is better to disable it in tests so that the most common
situation is also the most tested.
While we're there, move the "cat > expect << EOF" blocks inside the
tests.

Historically, "git status" needed to prefix each output line with '#' so
that the output could be added as comment to the commit message. This
prefix comment has no real purpose when "git status" is ran from the
command-line, and this may distract users from the real content.
Disable this prefix comment by default, and make it re-activable for
users needing backward compatibility with status.displayCommentPrefix.
Obviously, "git commit" ignores status.displayCommentPrefix and keeps the
comment unconditionnaly when writing to COMMIT_EDITMSG (but not when
writing to stdout for an error message or with --dry-run).

When cherry-pick is in progress, 'git status' gives the advice to
run "git commit" to finish the cherry-pick.
However, this won't continue the sequencer, when picking a range of
commits.
Advise users to run "git cherry-pick --continue/--abort"; they work
when picking a single commit as well.

b397ea4 (status: show more info than "currently not on any branch",
2013-03-13) attempted to make the output of 'git status' richer in
the case of a detached HEAD. Before this patch, with a detached
HEAD, we saw:
$ git status
# Not currently on any branch.
But after the patch, we see:
$ git checkout v1.8.2
$ git status
# HEAD detached at v1.8.2.
It works by digging the reflog for the most recent message of the
form "checkout: moving from xxxx to yyyy". It then asserts that
HEAD and "yyyy" are the same, and displays this message. When they
aren't equal, it displays:
$ git status
# HEAD detached from fe11db.
so that the user can see where the HEAD was first detached.
In case of a rebase [-i] operation in progress, this message depends
on the implementation of rebase writing "checkout: " messages to the
reflog, but that is an implementation detail of "rebase". To remove
this dependency so that rebase can be updated to write better reflog
messages, replace this "HEAD detached from" message with:
# rebase in progress; onto $ONTO
Changes to the commit object name in the expected output for some of
the tests shows that what the test expected "status" to show during
"rebase -i" was not consistent with the output during a vanilla
"rebase", which showed on top of what commit the series is being
replayed. Now we consistently expect something meaningful to the
end user.

b397ea4863a1 (status: show more info than "currently not on any
branch", 2013-03-13) wanted to make sure that after a checkout to
detach HEAD, the user can see where the HEAD was originally detached
from. The last test added by that commit to t7512 shows one
example, immediately after HEAD is detached. Enhance that test to
show "detached HEAD from" form that should be shown when the user
further resetted to another commit.

When a remote ref or a tag is checked out, HEAD is automatically
detached. There is no user-friendly way to find out what ref is
checked out in this case. This patch digs in reflog for this
information and shows "HEAD detached from origin/master" or "HEAD
detached at v1.8.0" instead of "currently not on any branch".
When it cannot figure out the original ref, it shows an abbreviated
SHA-1. "Currently not on any branch" would never display (unless
reflog is pruned to near empty that the last checkout entry is lost).

The typical use-case is starting a rebase, do something else, come
back the day after, run "git status" or make a new commit and wonder
what in the world's going on. Which branch is being rebased is
probably the most useful tidbit to help, but the target may help
too.
Ideally, I would have loved to see "rebasing master on
origin/master", but the target ref name is not stored during rebase,
so this patch writes "rebasing master on a78c8c98b" as a
half-measure to remind future users of that potential improvement.

instance, when there is just one file that's marked as 'both deleted',
