Fetch-pack's verbose mode is more of a debugging mode (and
in fact takes two "-v" arguments to trigger via the
porcelain layer). Let's mention the server version as
another possible item of interest.

In the same spirit as the previous fix, stop asking for thin-pack, no-progress
and include-tag capabilities when the other end does not claim to support them.

Commit ff5effdf taught both clients and servers of the git protocol
to send an "agent" capability that just advertises their version for
statistics and debugging purposes. The protocol-capabilities.txt
document however indicates that the client's advertisement is
actually a response, and should never include capabilities not
mentioned in the server's advertisement.
Adding the unconditional advertisement in the server programs was
OK, then, but the clients broke the protocol. The server
implementation of git-core itself does not care, but at least one
does: the Google Code git server (or any server using Dulwich), will
hang up with an internal error upon seeing an unknown capability.
Instead, each client must record whether we saw an agent string from
the server, and respond with its agent only if the server mentioned
it first.

If we have capabilities to send to the server, we send the
regular "want" line followed by a NUL, then the
capabilities; otherwise, we do not even send the NUL.
However, when checking whether we want to send the "quiet"
capability, we check args->quiet, which is wrong. That flag
only tells us whether the client side wanted to be quiet,
not whether the server supports it (originally, in c207e34f,
it meant both; however, that was later split into two flags
by 01fdc21f).
We still check the right flag when actually printing
"quiet", so this could only have two effects:
1. We might send the trailing NUL when we do not otherwise
need to. In theory, an antique pre-capability
implementation of git might choke on this (since the
client is instructed never to respond with capabilities
that the server has not first advertised).
2. We might also want to send the quiet flag if the
args->progress flag is false, but this code path would
not trigger in that instance.
In practice, it almost certainly never matters. The
report-status capability dates back to 2005. Any real-world
server is going to advertise that, and we will always
respond with at least that capability.

"git prune" reports removal of loose object files that are no longer
necessary only under the "-v" option, but unconditionally reports
removal of temporary files that are no longer needed.
The original thinking was that the presence of a leftover temporary
file should be an unusual occurrence that may indicate an earlier
failure of some sort, and the user may want to be reminded of it.
Removing an unnecessary loose object file, on the other hand, is
just part of the normal operation. That is why the former is always
printed out and the latter only when -v is used.
But neither report is particularly useful. Hide both of these
behind the "-v" option for consistency.

The standard output channel of receive-pack is a structured protocol
channel, and subprocesses must never be allowed to leak anything
into it by writing to their standard output.
Use RUN_COMMAND_STDOUT_TO_STDERR option to run_command_v_opt() just
like we do when running hooks to prevent output from "gc" leaking to
the standard output.

Scripts such as "git rebase -i" cannot currently cherry-pick commits
which have an empty commit message, as git cherry-pick calls git
commit without the --allow-empty-message option.
Add an --allow-empty-message option to git cherry-pick which is passed
through to git commit, so this behaviour can be overridden.

Instead of having the client advertise a particular version
number in the git protocol, we have managed extensions and
backwards compatibility by having clients and servers
advertise capabilities that they support. This is far more
robust than having each side consult a table of
known versions, and provides sufficient information for the
protocol interaction to complete.
However, it does not allow servers to keep statistics on
which client versions are being used. This information is
not necessary to complete the network request (the
capabilities provide enough information for that), but it
may be helpful to conduct a general survey of client
versions in use.
We already send the client version in the user-agent header
for http requests; adding it here allows us to gather
similar statistics for non-http requests.

diff_setup_done() has historically returned an error code, but lost
the last nonzero return in 943d5b7 (allow diff.renamelimit to be set
regardless of -M/-C, 2006-08-09). The callers were in a pretty
confused state: some actually checked for the return code, and some
did not.
Let it return void, and patch all callers to take this into account.
This conveniently also gets rid of a handful of different(!) error
messages that could never be triggered anyway.
Note that the function can still die().

The grep.extendedRegexp configuration setting enables the -E flag on grep
by default but there are no equivalents for the -G, -F and -P flags.
Rather than adding an additional setting for grep.fooRegexp for current
and future pattern matching options, add a grep.patternType setting that
can accept appropriate values for modifying the default grep pattern
matching behavior. The current values are "basic", "extended", "fixed",
"perl" and "default" for setting -G, -E, -F, -P and the default behavior
respectively.
When grep.patternType is set to a value other than "default", the
grep.extendedRegexp setting is ignored. The value of "default" restores
the current default behavior, including the grep.extendedRegexp
behavior.
