When core.logallrefupdates is true, we only create a new reflog for refs
that are under certain well-known hierarchies. The reason is that we
know that some hierarchies (like refs/tags) are not meant to change, and
that unknown hierarchies might not want reflogs at all (e.g., a
hypothetical refs/foo might be meant to change often and drop old
history immediately).
However, sometimes it is useful to override this decision and simply log
for all refs, because the safety and audit trail is more important than
the performance implications of keeping the log around.
This patch introduces a new "always" mode for the core.logallrefupdates
option which will log updates to everything under refs/, regardless
where in the hierarchy it is (we still will not log things like
ORIG_HEAD and FETCH_HEAD, which are known to be transient).

there was no super-prefix available, so we abused the --prefix option

It's possible for content currently found in one file to
have originated in two separate files, each of which may
have been modified in some single older commit. The
--porcelain output generates an incorrect "previous" header
in this case, whereas --line-porcelain gets it right. The
problem is that the porcelain output tries to omit repeated
details of commits, and treats "previous" as a property of
the commit, when it is really a property of the blamed block
of lines.
Let's look at an example. In a case like this, you might see
this output from --line-porcelain:
SOME_SHA1 1 1 1
author ...
committer ...
previous SOME_SHA1^ file_one
filename file_one
...some line content...
SOME_SHA1 2 1 1
author ...
committer ...
previous SOME_SHA1^ file_two
filename file_two
...some different content....
The "filename" fields tell us that the two lines are from
two different files. But notice that the filename also
appears in the "previous" field, which tells us where to
start a re-blame. The second content line never appeared in
file_one at all, so we would obviously need to re-blame from
file_two (or possibly even some other file, if had just been
renamed to file_two in SOME_SHA1).
So far so good. Now here's what --porcelain looks like:
SOME_SHA1 1 1 1
author ...
committer ...
previous SOME_SHA1^ file_one
filename file_one
...some line content...
SOME_SHA1 2 1 1
filename file_two
...some different content....
We've dropped the author and committer fields from the
second line, as they would just be repeats. But we can't
omit "filename", because it depends on the actual block of
blamed lines, not just the commit. This is handled by
emit_porcelain_details(), which will show the filename
either if it is the first mention of the commit _or_ if the
commit has multiple paths in it.
But we don't give "previous" the same handling. It's written
inside emit_one_suspect_detail(), which bails early if we've
already seen that commit. And so the output above is wrong;
a reader would assume that the correct place to re-blame
line two is from file_one, but that's obviously nonsense.
Let's treat "previous" the same as "filename", and show it
fresh whenever we know we are in a confusing case like this.

You can already ask blame for full sha1s with "-l" or with
"--abbrev=40". But for consistency with other parts of Git,
we should support "--no-abbrev".
Worse, blame already accepts --no-abbrev, but it's totally
broken. When we see --no-abbrev, the abbrev variable is set
to 0, which is then used as a printf precision. For regular
sha1s, that means we print nothing at all (which is very
wrong). For boundary commits we decrement it to "-1", which
printf interprets as "no limit" (which is almost correct,
except it misses the 39-length magic explained in the
previous commit).
Let's detect --no-abbrev and behave as if --abbrev=40 was
given.

The blame command internally adds 1 to any requested sha1
abbreviation length, and then subtracts it when outputting a
boundary commit. This lets regular and boundary sha1s line
up visually, but it misses one corner case.
When the requested length is 40, we bump the value to 41.
But since we only have 40 characters, that's all we can show
(fortunately the truncation is done by a printf precision
field, so it never tries to read past the end of the
buffer). So a normal sha1 shows 40 hex characters, and a
boundary sha1 shows "^" plus 40 hex characters. The result
is misaligned.
The "-l" option to show long sha1s gets around this by
skipping the "abbrev" variable entirely and just always
using GIT_SHA1_HEXSZ. This avoids the "+1" issue, but it
does mean that boundary commits only have 39 characters
printed. This is somewhat odd, but it does look good
visually: the results are aligned and left-justified. The
alternative would be to allocate an extra column that would
contain either an extra space or the "^" boundary marker.
As this is by definition the human-readable view, it's
probably not that big a deal either way (and of course
--porcelain, etc, correctly produce correct 40-hex sha1s).
But for consistency, this patch teaches --abbrev=40 to
produce the same output as "-l" (always left-aligned, with
40-hex for normal sha1s, and "^" plus 39-hex for
boundaries).

When deleting a submodule, we need to keep the actual git directory around,
such that we do not lose local changes in there and at a later checkout
of the submodule we don't need to clone it again.
Now that the functionality is available to absorb the git directory of a
submodule, rewrite the checking in git-rm to not complain, but rather
relocate the git directories inside the superproject.
An alternative solution was discussed to have a function
`depopulate_submodule`. That would couple the check for its git directory
and possible relocation before the the removal, such that it is less
likely to miss the check in the future. But the indirection with such
a function added seemed also complex. The reason for that was that this
possible move of the git directory was also implemented in
`ok_to_remove_submodule`, such that this function could truthfully
answer whether it is ok to remove the submodule.
The solution proposed here defers all these checks to the caller.

In different contexts the question "Is it ok to delete a submodule?"
may be answered differently.
In 293ab15eea (submodule: teach rm to remove submodules unless they
contain a git directory, 2012-09-26) a case was made that we can safely
ignore ignored untracked files for removal as we explicitely ask for the
removal of the submodule.
In a later patch we want to remove submodules even when the user doesn't
explicitly ask for it (e.g. checking out a tree-ish in which the submodule
doesn't exist). In that case we want to be more careful when it comes
to deletion of untracked files. As of this patch it is unclear how this
will be implemented exactly, so we'll offer flags in which the caller
can specify how the different untracked files ought to be handled.
As the flags allow the function to not die on an error when spawning
a child process, we need to find an appropriate return code for the
case when the child process could not be started. As in that case we
cannot tell if the submodule is ok to remove, we'd want to return 'false'.
As only 0 is understood as false, rename the function to invert the
meaning, i.e. the return code of 0 signals the removal of the submodule
is fine, and other values can be used to return a more precise answer
what went wrong.

"git diff" can choose any place between these existing lines as the
boundary between the pre-context and the added lines (adjusting the
end of the inserted block as appropriate) to come up with variants
of the same patch, and some variants are easier to read than others.
We have been trying to improve the choice of this boundary, and Git
2.11 shipped with an experimental "compaction-heuristic". Since
then another attempt to improve the logic further resulted in a new
"indent-heuristic" logic. It is agreed that the latter gives better
result overall, and the former outlived its usefulness.
Retire "compaction", and keep "indent" as an experimental feature.
The latter hopefully will be turned on by default in a future
release, but that should be done as a separate step.

If a submodule was renamed at any point since it's inception then if you
were to try and grep on a commit prior to the submodule being moved, you
wouldn't be able to find a working directory for the submodule since the
path in the past is different from the current path.
This patch teaches grep to find the .git directory for a submodule in
the parents .git/modules/ directory in the event the path to the
submodule in the commit that is being searched differs from the state of
the currently checked out commit. If found, the child process that is
spawned to grep the submodule will chdir into its gitdir instead of a
working directory.
In order to override the explicit setting of submodule child process's
gitdir environment variable (which was introduced in '10f5c526')
`GIT_DIR_ENVIORMENT` needs to be pushed onto child process's env_array.
This allows the searching of history from a submodule's gitdir, rather
than from a working directory.

When grep is provided with a <tree> object, the name of the object is
prefixed to all output. In order to provide uniformity of output
between the parent and child processes the option `--parent-basename`
has been added so that the child can preface all of it's output with the
name of the parent's object instead of the name of the commit SHA1 of
the submodule. This changes output from the command
`git grep -e. -l --recurse-submodules HEAD` from:

Allow grep to recognize submodules and recursively search for patterns in
each submodule. This is done by forking off a process to recursively
call grep on each submodule. The top level --super-prefix option is
used to pass a path to the submodule which can in turn be used to
prepend to output or in pathspec matching logic.
Recursion only occurs for submodules which have been initialized and
checked out by the parent project. If a submodule hasn't been
initialized and checked out it is simply skipped.
In order to support the existing multi-threading infrastructure in grep,
output from each child process is captured in a strbuf so that it can be
later printed to the console in an ordered fashion.
To limit the number of theads that are created, each child process has
half the number of threads as its parents (minimum of 1), otherwise we
potentailly have a fork-bomb.
