"git filter-branch --prune-empty" drops a single-parent commit that
becomes a no-op, but did not drop a root commit whose tree is empty.
* dp/filter-branch-prune-empty:
p7000: add test for filter-branch with --prune-empty
filter-branch: fix --prune-empty on parentless commits
t7003: ensure --prune-empty removes entire branch when applicable
t7003: ensure --prune-empty can prune root commit
A "gc.log" file left by a backgrounded "gc --auto" disables further
automatic gc; it has been taught to run at least once a day (by
default) by ignoring a stale "gc.log" file that is too old.

gc: ignore old gc.log files
Change the documentation for push.tracking=* to re-include a mention
of what "tracking" does.
The "tracking" option was renamed to "upstream" back in
53c4031 ("push.default: Rename 'tracking' to 'upstream'", 2011-02-16),
this section was then subsequently rewritten in 87a70e4 ("config doc:
rewrite push.default section", 2013-06-19) to remove any mention of
"tracking".
Maybe we should just warn or die nowadays if this option is in the
config, but I had some old config of mine use this option, I'd
forgotten that it was a synonym, and nothing in git's documentation
mentioned that.
That's bad, either we shouldn't support it at all, or we should
document what it does. This patch does the latter.

The hook was added in a86ed83cce (Merge branch 'tr/notes-display' -
2010-03-24), which updated githooks.txt but not git-commit.txt.
git-commit.txt was later updated in e858af6d50 (commit: document a
couple of options - 2012-06-08). Since this commit focused on command
line options, this section was probably forgotten.

Change these two obvious typos to be in line with the rest of the
documentation, which uses the correct --[no-]whatever form.

Previously, the git_commit_non_empty_tree function would always pass any
commit with no parents to git-commit-tree, regardless of whether the
tree was nonempty. The new commit would then be recorded in the
filter-branch revision map, and subsequent commits which leave the tree
untouched would be correctly filtered.
With this change, parentless commits with an empty tree are correctly
pruned, and an empty file is recorded in the revision map, signifying
that it was rewritten to "no commits." This works naturally with the
parent mapping for subsequent commits.

The gitdiffcore documentation quotes the term "Complete Rewrites" in
headers for no real gain. This would make sense if the term could be
easily confused if not properly grouped together. But actually, the term
is quite obvious and thus does not really need any quoting, especially
regarding that it is not used anywhere else.
But more importanly, this brings up a bug when rendering man pages: when
trying to render quotes inside of a section header, we end up with
quotes which have been misaligned to the end of line. E.g.
diffcore-break: For Splitting Up Complete Rewrites
--------------------------------------------------
renders as
DIFFCORE-BREAK: FOR SPLITTING UP COMPLETE REWRITES""
, which is obviously wrong. While this is fixable for the man pages by
using double-quotes (e.g. ""COMPLETE REWRITES""), this again breaks it
for our generated HTML pages.
So fix the issue by simply dropping quotes inside of section headers,
which is currently only done for the term "Complete Rewrites".
