Mention that this feature works with some commands (merge and cherry-pick,
implying that it also works with commands that build on these like rebase
-m and rebase -i). Explicitly mentioning two commands hopefully implies
that it may not always work with other commands (am, and rebase without
flags that imply either -m or -i).
Also, since the directory rename detection from this cycle was
specifically added in merge-recursive and not diffcore-rename, remove the
'in "diff" family" phrase from the note. (Folks have requested in the
past that `git diff` detect directory renames and somehow simplify its
output, so it may be helpful to avoid implying that diff has any new
capability here.)

"git remote update" can take both a single remote nickname and a
nickname for remote groups, but only one of them was documented.
* nd/remote-update-doc:
remote: doc typofix
remote.txt: update documentation for 'update' command
The list of commands with their various attributes were spread
across a few places in the build procedure, but it now is getting a
bit more consolidated to allow more automation.
* nd/command-list:
completion: allow to customize the completable command list
completion: add and use --list-cmds=alias
completion: add and use --list-cmds=nohelpers
Move declaration for alias.c to alias.h
completion: reduce completable command list
completion: let git provide the completable command list
command-list.txt: documentation and guide line
help: use command-list.txt for the source of guides
help: add "-a --verbose" to list all commands with synopsis
git: support --list-cmds=list-<category>
completion: implement and use --list-cmds=main,others
git --list-cmds: collect command list in a string_list
git.c: convert --list-* to --list-cmds=*
Remove common-cmds.h
help: use command-list.h for common command list
generate-cmds.sh: export all commands to command-list.h
generate-cmds.sh: factor out synopsis extract code
For consistency, use backquotes when referring to environment
variables, as is done in other man pages.

Commit b344e1614b (git remote update: Fallback to remote if group does
not exist - 2009-04-06) lets "git remote update" accept individual
remotes as well. Previously this command only accepted remote
groups. The commit updates the command syntax but not the actual
document of this subcommand. Update it.

In the 2.18 cycle, directory rename detection was merged, then reverted,
then reworked in such a way to fix another prominent bug in addition to
the original problem causing it to be reverted. When the reworked series
was merged, we ended up with two nearly duplicate release notes. Remove
the second copy, but preserve the information about the extra bug fix.

Add a mention of the security mailing list to the README, and to
Documentation/SubmittingPatches.. 2caa7b8d27 ("git manpage: note
git-security@googlegroups.com", 2018-03-08) already added it to the
man page, but for developers either the README, or the documentation
on how to contribute (SubmittingPatches) may be the first place to
look.
Use the same wording as we already have on the git-scm.com website and
in the man page for the README, while the wording is adjusted in
SubmittingPatches to match the surrounding document better.

Use names instead of numbers for the AsciiDoc attributes that are used
for the footnotes. We will add more footnotes in subsequent commits,
and attributes should ideally all be unique. Having named attributes
will help ensure uniqueness, and we won't have to re-number the
attributes if we add a footnote earlier in the document.
In addition it also clarifies that the attribute name/number is not
related to the number the footnote will get in the output.

When a short hexadecimal string is used to name an object but there
are multiple objects that share the string as the prefix of their
names, the code lists these ambiguous candidates in a help message.
These object names are now sorted according to their types for
easier eyeballing.
* ab/get-short-oid:
get_short_oid: sort ambiguous objects by type, then SHA-1
sha1-name.c: move around the collect_ambiguous() function
git-p4: change "commitish" typo to "committish"
sha1-array.h: align function arguments
sha1-name.c: remove stray newline
Transfer protocol v2 learned to support the partial clone.
* jt/partial-clone-proto-v2:
{fetch,upload}-pack: support filter in protocol v2
upload-pack: read config when serving protocol v2
upload-pack: fix error message typo
"git blame" learns to unhighlight uninteresting metadata from the
originating commit on lines that are the same as the previous one,
and also paint lines in different colors depending on the age of
the commit.
* sb/blame-color:
builtin/blame: add new coloring scheme config
builtin/blame: highlight recently changed lines
builtin/blame: dim uninteresting metadata lines
"git submodule update" and "git submodule add" supported the
"--reference" option to borrow objects from a neighbouring local
repository like "git clone" does, but lacked the more recent
invention "--dissociate". Also "git submodule add" has been taught
to take the "--progress" option.
* cf/submodule-progress-dissociate:
submodule: add --dissociate option to add/update commands
submodule: add --progress option to add command
submodule: clean up substitutions in script
"git status" learned to honor a new status.renames configuration to
skip rename detection, which could be useful for those who want to
do so without disabling the default rename detection done by the
"git diff" command.
* bp/status-rename-config:
add status config and command line options for rename detection
With merge.renames configuration set to false, the recursive merge
strategy can be told not to spend cycles trying to find renamed
paths and merge them accordingly.
* bp/merge-rename-config:
merge: pass aggressive when rename detection is turned off
merge: add merge.renames config setting
merge: update documentation for {merge,diff}.renameLimit
Reword "man git-tag" to clarify that a tag can refer directly to an
arbitrary object, not just a commit object.

This can be used to "unshelve" a shelved P4 commit into
a git commit.
For example:
$ git p4 unshelve 12345
The resulting commit ends up in the branch:
refs/remotes/p4/unshelved/12345
If that branch already exists, it is renamed - for example
the above branch would be saved as p4/unshelved/12345.1.
git-p4 checks that the shelved changelist is based on files
which are at the same Perforce revision as the origin branch
being used for the unshelve (HEAD by default). If they are not,
it will refuse to unshelve. This is to ensure that the unshelved
change does not contain other changes mixed-in.
The reference branch can be changed manually with the "--origin"
option.
The change adds a new Unshelve command class. This just runs the
existing P4Sync code tweaked to handle a shelved changelist.

Asciidoctor gives a reasonable imitation for AsciiDoc, but does not
render illustration in a literal block correctly when indented with
HT by default. The problem is fixed by forcing 8-space tabs.

"git pack-objects" needs to allocate tons of "struct object_entry"

quite a bit.

pack-objects: a bit of document about struct object_entry
read-cache.c: make $GIT_TEST_SPLIT_INDEX boolean
"git --no-pager cmd" did not have short-and-sweet single letter

* tg/worktree-add-existing-branch:
worktree: teach "add" to check out existing branches
worktree: factor out dwim_branch function
worktree: improve message when creating a new worktree
worktree: remove extra members from struct add_opts
The functionality of "$GIT_DIR/info/grafts" has been superseded by
the "refs/replace/" mechanism for some time now, but the internal
code had support for it in many places, which has been cleaned up
in order to drop support of the "grafts" mechanism.
* js/deprecate-grafts:
Remove obsolete script to convert grafts to replace refs
technical/shallow: describe why shallow cannot use replace refs
technical/shallow: stop referring to grafts

The transport protocol v2 is getting updated further.
* bw/server-options:
fetch: send server options when using protocol v2
ls-remote: send server options when using protocol v2
serve: introduce the server-option capability
"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
marked with ".keep" so that it is left untouched while objects in
other packs and loose ones are repacked.
* nd/repack-keep-pack:
pack-objects: show some progress when counting kept objects
gc --auto: exclude base pack if not enough mem to "repack -ad"
