The description for `key_value_separator` incorrectly states that this
separator is inserted between trailer lines, which appears likely to
have been incorrectly copied from `separator` when this option was
added.
Update the description to correctly indicate that it is a separator that
appears between the key and the value of each trailer.

When 'git am' or 'git rebase --apply' encounter a conflict, they show a
message instructing the user how to continue the operation. This message
can't be disabled.
Use ADVICE_MERGE_CONFLICT introduced in the previous commit to allow
disabling it. Update the tests accordingly, as the advice output is now
on stderr instead of stdout. In t4150, redirect stdout to 'out' and
stderr to 'err', since this is less confusing. In t4254, as we are
testing a specific failure mode of 'git am', simply disable the advice.
Note that we are not testing that this advice is shown in 'git rebase'
for the apply backend since 2ac0d6273f (rebase: change the default
backend from "am" to "merge", 2020-02-15).

Allow disabling the advice shown when a squencer operation results in a
merge conflict through a new config 'advice.mergeConflict', which is
named generically such that it can be used by other commands eventually.
Remove that final '\n' in the first hunk in sequencer.c to avoid an
otherwise empty 'hint: ' line before the line 'hint: Disable this
message with "git config advice.mergeConflict false"' which is
automatically added by 'advise_if_enabled'.
Note that we use 'advise_if_enabled' for each message in the second hunk
in sequencer.c, instead of using 'if (show_hints &&
advice_enabled(...)', because the former instructs the user how to
disable the advice, which is more user-friendly.
Update the tests accordingly. Note that the body of the second test in
t3507-cherry-pick-conflict.sh is enclosed in double quotes, so we must
escape them in the added line. Note that t5520-pull.sh, which checks
that we display the advice for 'git rebase' (via 'git pull --rebase')
does not have to be updated because it only greps for a specific line in
the advice message.

Avoid reading past the end of the "result" array, which could otherwise
happen if the prio-queue were to yield more items than were put into it
due to an implementation bug, or if the array has not enough entries due
to a test bug.
Also check at the end whether all "result" entries were consumed, which
would not be the case if the prio-queue forgot some entries or the test

If we get an unexpected result, the prio-queue unit test reports it like
this:
# check "result[j++] == show(get)" failed at t/unit-tests/t-prio-queue.c:43
# left: 5
# right: 1
# failed at result[] index 0
That last line repeats "failed" and "result" from the first line.
Shorten it to resemble a similar one in t-ctype and also remove the
incrementation from the first line to avoid possible distractions from
the message of which comparison went wrong where:

Extending the previous step, this allows the whitespace placed after
the value before the "# comment message" to be tweaked by tweaking
the preprocessing rule to:
* If the given comment string begins with one or more whitespace
characters followed by '#', it is passed intact.
* If the given comment string begins with '#', a Space is
prepended.
* Otherwise, " # " (Space, '#', Space) is prefixed.
* A string with LF in it cannot be used as a comment string.
Unlike the previous step, which unconditionally added a space after
the value before writing the "# comment string", because the above
preprocessing already gives a whitespace before the '#', the
resulting string is written immediately after copying the value.
And the sanity checking rule becomes
* comment string after the above massaging that comes into
git_config_set_multivar_in_file_gently() must
- begin with zero or more whitespace characters followed by '#'.
- not have a LF in it.
I personally think this is over-engineered, but since I thought
things through anyway, here it is in the patch form. The logic to
tweak end-user supplied comment string is encapsulated in a new
helper function, git_config_prepare_comment_string(), so if new
front-end callers would want to use the same massaging rules, it is
easily reused.
Unfortunately I do not think of a way to tweak the preprocessing
rules further to optionally allow having no blank after the value,
i.e. to produce
[section]
variable = value#comment
(which is a valid way to say section.variable=value, by the way)
without sacrificing the ergonomics for the more usual case, so this
time I really stop here.

When git adds comments itself (like "rebase -i" todo list and
"commit -e" log message editor), it always gives a comment
introducer "#" followed by a Space before the message, except for
the recently introduced "git config --comment", where the users are
forced to say " this is my comment" if they want to add their
comment in this usual format; otherwise their comment string will
end up without a space after the "#".
Make it more ergonomic, while keeping it possible to also use this
unusual style, by massaging the comment string at the UI layer with
a set of simple rules:
* If the given comment string begins with '#', it is passed intact.
* Otherwise, "# " is prefixed.
* A string with LF in it cannot be used as a comment string.
Right now there is only one "front-end" that accepts end-user
comment string and calls the underlying machinery to add or modify
configuration file with comments, but to make sure that the future
callers perform similar massaging as they see fit, add a sanity
check logic in git_config_set_multivar_in_file_gently(), which is
the single choke point in the codepaths that consumes the comment
string.

Introduce the ability to append comments to modifications
made using git-config. Example usage:
git config --comment "changed via script" \
--add safe.directory /home/alice/repo.git
based on the proposed patch, the output produced is:
[safe]
directory = /home/alice/repo.git #changed via script
Users need to be able to distinguish between config entries made
using automation and entries made by a human. Automation can add
comments containing a URL pointing to explanations for the change
made, avoiding questions from users as to why their config file
was changed by a third party.
The implementation ensures that a # character is unconditionally
prepended to the provided comment string, and that the comment
text is appended as a suffix to the changed key-value-pair in the
same line of text. Multi-line comments (i.e. comments containing
linefeed) are rejected as errors, causing Git to exit without
making changes.
Comments are aimed at humans who inspect or change their Git
config using a pager or editor. Comments are not meant to be
read or displayed by git-config at a later time.

The existing git_config_from_mem function is a perfect entry point
for fuzzing as it exercises the same code paths as the rest of the
config parsing functions and offers an easily fuzzable interface.
Config parsing is a useful thing to fuzz because it operates on user

Rename format_trailer_info() to format_trailers(). Finally, both
interpret-trailers and format_trailers_from_commit() can call
"format_trailers()"!
Update the comment in <trailer.h> to remove the (now obsolete) caveats
about format_trailers_from_commit(). Those caveats come from
a388b10fc1 (pretty: move trailer formatting to trailer.c, 2017-08-15)
where it says:
pretty: move trailer formatting to trailer.c
The next commit will add many features to the %(trailer)
placeholder in pretty.c. We'll need to access some internal
functions of trailer.c for that, so our options are either:
1. expose those functions publicly
or
2. make an entry point into trailer.c to do the formatting
Doing (2) ends up exposing less surface area, though do note
that caveats in the docstring of the new function.
which suggests format_trailers_from_commit() started out from pretty.c
and did not have access to all of the trailer implementation internals,
and was never intended to replace (unify) the formatting machinery in
trailer.c. The refactors leading up to this commit (as well as
additional refactors that will follow) expose additional functions
publicly, and is therefore choosing option (1) as described in
a388b10fc1.

Now that the preparatory refactors are over, we can replace the call to
format_trailers() in interpret-trailers with format_trailer_info(). This
unifies the trailer formatting machinery
In order to avoid breakages in t7502 and t7513, we have to steal the
features present in format_trailers(). Namely, we have to teach
format_trailer_info() as follows:
(1) make it aware of opts->trim_empty, and
(2) make it avoid hardcoding ": " as the separator and space (which
can result in double-printing these characters).
For (2), make it only print the separator and space if we cannot find
any recognized separator somewhere in the key (yes, keys may have a
trailing separator in it --- we will eventually fix this design but not
now). Do so by copying the code out of print_tok_val(), and deleting the
same function.

This wraps up the preparatory refactors to unify the trailer formatters.
Two patches ago we made format_trailer_info() use trailer_item objects
instead of the "trailers" string array. The strings in the array
include trailing newlines, because the string array is split up with
trailer_lines = strbuf_split_buf(str + trailer_block_start,
end_of_log_message - trailer_block_start,
'\n',
0);
in trailer_info_get() and strbuf_split_buf() includes the terminator (in
this case the newline character '\n') for each split-up substring.
And before we made the transition to use trailer_item objects for it,
format_trailer_info() called parse_trailer() (which trims newlines) for
trailer lines but did _not_ call parse_trailer() for non-trailer lines.
So for trailer lines it had to add back the trimmed newline like this
if (!opts->separator)
strbuf_addch(out, '\n');
But for non-trailer lines it didn't have to add back the newline because
it could just reuse same string in the "trailers" string array (which
again, already included the trailing newline).
Now that format_trailer_info() uses trailer_item objects for all cases,
it can't rely on "trailers" string array anymore. And so it must be
taught to add a newline back when printing non-trailer lines, just like
it already does for trailer lines. Do so now.
The test suite can pass again without the need to hide failures
with *_failure, so flip the affected test cases back to *_success. Now,
format_trailer_info() is in better shape to supersede format_trailers(),
which we'll do in the next commit.

This is another preparatory refactor to unify the trailer formatters.
In the last patch we made format_trailer_info() use trailer_item objects
instead of the "trailers" string array. This means that the call to
unfold_value() here is redundant because the trailer_item objects are
already unfolded in parse_trailers() which is a dependency of our
caller, format_trailers_from_commit().
Remove the redundant call.

This is another preparatory refactor to unify the trailer formatters.
Make format_trailer_info() operate on trailer_item objects, not the raw
string array.
We will continue to make improvements, culminating in the renaming of
format_trailer_info() to format_trailers(), at which point the
unification of these formatters will be complete.
In order to avoid breaking t4205 and t6300, flip *_success to *_failure
in the affected test cases. Add a temporary
"test_trailer_option_expect_failure" wrapper which we will use along
with "test_expect_failure" in the next commit to avoid breaking tests.
When the dust settles with the refactors a few more commits later, we
will drop the use of *_failure to make the tests truly pass again.
When the preparatory refactors are complete,
we'll be able to drop the use of *_failure that we introduce here.
