7ba68e0cf1 docs: fix api-trace2 doc for "too_many_files" event
In 87db61a (trace2: write discard message to sentinel files,
2019-10-04), we added a new "too_many_files" event for when trace2
logging would create too many files in an output directory.
Unfortunately, the api-trace2 doc described a "discard" event instead.
Fix the doc to use the correct event name.

ace6d8e3d6 Remove warning that repack only works on non-promisor packfiles
The git-repack doc clearly states that it *does* operate on promisor
packfiles (in a separate partition), with "-a" specified. Presumably
the statements here are outdated, as they feature from the first doc
in 2017 (and the repack support was added in 2018)

Now that the code has been simplified and it's clear what it's
actually doing, update the documentation to reflect that.

Namely; the simple mode only barfs when working on a centralized
workflow, and there's no configured upstream branch with the same name.

671818ab0b send-email: remove non-working support for "sendemail.smtpssl"
Remove the already dead code to support "sendemail.smtpssl" by finally
removing the dead code supporting the configuration option.

In f6bebd121a (git-send-email: add support for TLS via
Net::SMTP::SSL, 2008-06-25) the --smtp-ssl command-line option was
documented as deprecated, later in 65180c6618 (List send-email config
options in config.txt., 2009-07-22) the "sendemail.smtpssl"
configuration option was also documented as such.

Then in in 3ff15040e2 (send-email: fix regression in
sendemail.identity parsing, 2019-05-17) I unintentionally removed
support for it by introducing a bug in read_config().

As can be seen from the diff context we've already returned unless
$enc i defined, so it's not possible for us to reach the "elsif"
branch here. This code was therefore already dead since Git v2.23.0.

So let's just remove it. We were already 11 years into a stated
deprecation period of this variable when 3ff15040e2 landed, now it's
around 13. Since it hasn't worked anyway for around 2 years it looks
like we can safely remove it.

The --smtp-ssl option is still deprecated, if someone cares they can
follow-up and remove that too, but unlike the config option that one
could still be in use in the wild. I'm just removing this code that's
provably unused already.

db10fc6c09 doc: simplify Makefile using .DELETE_ON_ERROR
Currently GNU make already removes files when catching an interruption
signal, however, in order to deal with other kinds of errors a
workaround is in place to store target output to a temporary file, and
only move it to its right place on success.

By enabling the built-in .DELETE_ON_ERROR we let make do this task, so
we don't have to.

This way the rules can be simplified a lot.

It's odd to have workarounds here, but nowhere else in the Makefile--

introduced during this cycle.

af5cd44b6f stash show: use stash.showIncludeUntracked even when diff options given
If options pertaining to how the diff is displayed is provided to
`git stash show`, the command will ignore the stash.showIncludeUntracked
configuration variable, defaulting to not showing any untracked files.
This is unintuitive behaviour since the format of the diff output and
whether or not to display untracked files are orthogonal.

Use stash.showIncludeUntracked even when diff options are given. Of
course, this is still overridable via the command-line options.

Update the documentation to explicitly say which configuration variables
will be overridden when a diff options are given.

f5bfcc823b diff-merges: let "-m" imply "-p"
Fix long standing inconsistency between -c/--cc that do imply -p on
one side, and -m that did not imply -p on the other side.

Change corresponding test accordingly, as "log -m" output should now
match one from "log -m -p", rather than from just "log".

Change documentation accordingly.

NOTES:

After this patch

  git log -m

produces diffs without need to provide -p as well, that improves both
consistency and usability. It gets even more useful if one sets
"log.diffMerges" configuration variable to "first-parent" to force -m
produce usual diff with respect to first parent only.

This patch, however, does not change behavior when specific diff
format is explicitly provided on the command-line, so that commands
like

  git log -m --raw
  git log -m --stat

are not affected, nor does it change commands where specific diff
format is active by default, such as:

  git diff-tree -m

It's also worth to be noticed that exact historical semantics of -m is
still provided by --diff-merges=separate.

bb80333c08 Documentation/technical: describe remembering renames optimization
Remembering renames on the upstream side of history in an early merge of
a rebase or cherry-pick for re-use in a latter merge of the same
operation makes pretty good intuitive sense.  However, trying to show
that it doesn't cause some subtle behavioral difference or some funny
edge or corner case is much more involved.  And, in fact, it does
introduce a subtle behavioral change.

Document all the assumptions, special cases, and logic involved in such
an optimization, and describe why this optimization is safe under the
current optimizations/features/etc. -- even when the subtle behavioral
change is triggered.

Part of the point of adding this document that goes over the
optimization in such laborious detail, is that it is possible that
significant future changes (optimizations or feature changes) could
interact with this optimization in interesting ways; this document is
here to help folks making big changes sanity check that the assumptions
and arguments underlying this optimization are still valid.  (As a side
note, creating this document forced me to review things in sufficient
detail that I found I was not properly caching directory-rename-induced
renames, resulting in the code not being aware of those renames and
causing unnecessary diffcore_rename_extended() calls in subsequent
merges.)

A subsequent commit will add several testcases based on this document
meant to stress-test the implementation and also document the case with
the subtle behavioral change.

a84216c684 doc: explain the use of color.pager
The current documentation for color.pager is technically correct, but
slightly misleading and doesn't really clarify the purpose of the
variable. As explained in the original thread which added it:

  https://lore.kernel.org/git/E1G6zPH-00062L-Je@moooo.ath.cx/

the point is to deal with pagers that don't understand colors. And hence it
being set to "true" is necessary for colorizing output to the pager, but
not sufficient by itself (you must also have enabled one of the other
color options, though note that these are set to "auto" by default these
days).

cd5b33fbdc git-send-email: add option to specify sendmail command
The sendemail.smtpServer configuration option and --smtp-server command
line option both support using a sendmail-like program to send emails by
specifying an absolute file path. However, this is not ideal for the
following reasons:

1. It overloads the meaning of smtpServer (now a program is being used
   for the server?)
2. It doesn't allow for non-absolute paths, arguments, or arbitrary
   scripting

Requiring an absolute path is bad for portability, as the same program
may be in different locations on different systems. If a user wishes to
pass arguments to their program, they have to use the smtpServerOption
option, which is cumbersome (as it must be repeated for each option) and
doesn't adhere to normal git conventions.

Introduce a new configuration option sendemail.sendmailCmd as well as a
command line option --sendmail-cmd that can be used to specify a command
(with or without arguments) or shell expression to run to send email.
The name of this option is consistent with --to-cmd and --cc-cmd. This
invocation honors the user's $PATH so that absolute paths are not
necessary. Arbitrary shell expressions are also supported, allowing
users to do basic scripting.

Give this option a higher precedence over --smtp-server and
sendemail.smtpServer, as the new interface is more flexible. For
backward compatibility, continue to support absolute paths in
--smtp-server and sendemail.smtpServer.
