In commit 1462450 ("trailer: allow non-trailers in trailer block",
2016-10-21), functionality was added (and tested [1]) to allow
non-trailer lines in trailer blocks, as long as those blocks contain at
least one Git-generated or user-configured trailer, and consists of at
least 25% trailers. The documentation was updated to mention this new
functionality, but did not mention "user-configured trailer".
Further update the documentation to also mention "user-configured
trailer".

Instead of referencing "stash@{n}" explicitly, make it possible to
simply reference as "n". Most users only reference stashes by their
position in the stash stack (what I refer to as the "index" here).
The syntax for the typical stash (stash@{n}) is slightly annoying and
easy to forget, and sometimes difficult to escape properly in a
script. Because of this the capability to do things with the stash by
simply referencing the index is desirable.
This patch includes the superior implementation provided by Øsse Walle
(thanks for that), with a slight change to fix a broken test in the test
suite. I also merged the test scripts as suggested by Jeff King, and
un-wrapped the documentation as suggested by Junio Hamano.

Currently, interpret-trailers requires all lines of a trailer block to
be trailers (or comments) - if not it would not identify that block as a
trailer block, and thus create its own trailer block, inserting a blank
line. For example:
echo -e "\nSigned-off-by: x\nnot trailer" |
git interpret-trailers --trailer "c: d"
would result in:
Signed-off-by: x
not trailer
c: d
Relax the definition of a trailer block to require that the trailers (i)
are all trailers, or (ii) contain at least one Git-generated trailer and
consists of at least 25% trailers.
Signed-off-by: x
not trailer
c: d
(i) is the existing functionality. (ii) allows arbitrary lines to be
included in trailer blocks, like those in [1], and still allow
interpret-trailers to be used.

Git's clean/smudge mechanism invokes an external filter process for
every single blob that is affected by a filter. If Git filters a lot of
blobs then the startup time of the external filter processes can become
a significant part of the overall Git execution time.
In a preliminary performance test this developer used a clean/smudge
filter written in golang to filter 12,000 files. This process took 364s
with the existing filter mechanism and 5s with the new mechanism. See
details here: https://github.com/github/git-lfs/pull/1382
This patch adds the `filter.<driver>.process` string option which, if
used, keeps the external filter process running and processes all blobs
with the packet format (pkt-line) based protocol over standard input and
standard output. The full protocol is explained in detail in
`Documentation/gitattributes.txt`.
A few key decisions:
* The long running filter process is referred to as filter protocol
version 2 because the existing single shot filter invocation is
considered version 1.
* Git sends a welcome message and expects a response right after the
external filter process has started. This ensures that Git will not
hang if a version 1 filter is incorrectly used with the
filter.<driver>.process option for version 2 filters. In addition,
Git can detect this kind of error and warn the user.
* The status of a filter operation (e.g. "success" or "error) is set
before the actual response and (if necessary!) re-set after the
response. The advantage of this two step status response is that if
the filter detects an error early, then the filter can communicate
this and Git does not even need to create structures to read the
response.
* All status responses are pkt-line lists terminated with a flush
packet. This allows us to send other status fields with the same
protocol in the future.

According to gpg2's doc/DETAILS:
For each signature only one of the codes GOODSIG, BADSIG,
EXPSIG, EXPKEYSIG, REVKEYSIG or ERRSIG will be emitted.
gpg1 ("classic") behaves the same (although doc/DETAILS differs).
Currently, we parse gpg's status output for GOODSIG, BADSIG and
trust information and translate that into status codes G, B, U, N
for the %G? format specifier.
git-verify-* returns success in the GOODSIG case only. This is
somewhat in disagreement with gpg, which considers the first 5 of
the 6 above as VALIDSIG, but we err on the very safe side.
Introduce additional status codes E, X, Y, R for ERRSIG, EXPSIG,
EXPKEYSIG, and REVKEYSIG so that a user of %G? gets more information
about the absence of a 'G' on first glance.

There's no way to get the list of alternates that git
computes internally; our tests only infer it based on which
objects are available. In addition to testing, knowing this
list may be helpful for somebody debugging their alternates
setup.
Let's add it to the "count-objects -v" output. We could give
it a separate flag, but there's not really any need.
"count-objects -v" is already a debugging catch-all for the
object database, its output is easily extensible to new data
items, and printing the alternates is not expensive (we
already had to find them to count the objects).

Pathspecs can be a bit tricky when trying to apply them to submodules.
The main challenge is that the pathspecs will be with respect to the
superproject and not with respect to paths in the submodule. The
approach this patch takes is to pass in the identical pathspec from the
superproject to the submodule in addition to the submodule-prefix, which
is the path from the root of the superproject to the submodule, and then
we can compare an entry in the submodule prepended with the
submodule-prefix to the pathspec in order to determine if there is a
match.
This patch also permits the pathspec logic to perform a prefix match against
submodules since a pathspec could refer to a file inside of a submodule.
Due to limitations in the wildmatch logic, a prefix match is only done
literally. If any wildcard character is encountered we'll simply punt
and produce a false positive match. More accurate matching will be done
once inside the submodule. This is due to the superproject not knowing
what files could exist in the submodule.

Add a super-prefix environment variable 'GIT_INTERNAL_SUPER_PREFIX'
which can be used to specify a path from above a repository down to its
root. When such a super-prefix is specified, the paths reported by Git
are prefixed with it to make them relative to that directory "above".
The paths given by the user on the command line
(e.g. "git subcmd --output-file=path/to/a/file" and pathspecs) are taken
relative to the directory "above" to match.
The immediate use of this option is by commands which have a
--recurse-submodule option in order to give context to submodules about
how they were invoked. This option is currently only allowed for
builtins which support a super-prefix.

How pathspec is used, with and without --interactive/--patch, is
different. But this is not clear from the document. These changes hint
the user to keep reading (to option #5) instead of stopping at #2 and
assuming --patch/--interactive behaves the same way.
And since all the options listed here always mention how the index is
involved (or not) in the final commit, add that bit for #5 as well. This
"on top of the index" is implied when you head over git-add(1), but if
you just go straight to the "Interactive mode" and not read what git-add
is for, you may miss it.
