When reporting broken links between commits/trees/blobs, it would be
quite helpful at times if the user would be told how the object is
supposed to be reachable.
With the new --name-objects option, git-fsck will try to do exactly
that: name the objects in a way that shows how they are reachable.
For example, when some reflog got corrupted and a blob is missing that
should not be, the user might want to remove the corresponding reflog
entry. This option helps them find that entry: `git fsck` will now
report something like this:
broken link from tree b5eb6ff... (refs/stash@{<date>}~37:)
to blob ec5cf80...

This allows the user to do something like "worktree lock foo" or
"worktree lock to/foo" instead of "worktree lock /long/path/to/foo" if
it's unambiguous.
With completion support it could be quite convenient. While this base
name search can be done in the same worktree iteration loop, the code is
split into a separate function for clarity.

Before this change,
$ echo "* text=auto" >.gitattributes
$ echo "* eol=crlf" >>.gitattributes
would have the same effect as
$ echo "* text" >.gitattributes
$ git config core.eol crlf
Since the 'eol' attribute had higher priority than 'text=auto', this may
corrupt binary files and is not what most users expect to happen.
Make the 'eol' attribute to obey 'text=auto' and now
$ echo "* text=auto" >.gitattributes
$ echo "* eol=crlf" >>.gitattributes
behaves the same as
$ echo "* text=auto" >.gitattributes
$ git config core.eol crlf
In other words,
$ echo "* text=auto eol=crlf" >.gitattributes
has the same effect as
$ git config core.autocrlf true
and
$ echo "* text=auto eol=lf" >.gitattributes
has the same effect as

In the "remote -> local" line, if either ref is a substring of the
other, the common part in the other string is replaced with "*". For
example
abc -> origin/abc
refs/pull/123/head -> pull/123
become
abc -> origin/*
refs/*/head -> pull/123
Activated with fetch.output=compact.
For the record, this output is not perfect. A single giant ref can
push all refs very far to the right and likely be wrapped around. We
may have a few options:
- exclude these long lines smarter
- break the line after "->", exclude it from column width calculation
- implement a new format, { -> origin/}foo, which makes the problem
go away at the cost of a bit harder to read
- reverse all the arrows so we have "* <- looong-ref", again still
hard to read.

This is a general cleanup of the description of colors in
git-config, mostly to address inaccuracies and confusion
that had grown over time:
- you can have many attributes, not just one
- the discussion flip-flopped between colors and
attributes; now we discuss everything about colors, then
everything about attributes
- many concepts were lumped into the first paragraph,
making it hard to read, and especially to find the
actual lists of colors and attributes. I stopped short
of breaking those out into their own lists, as it seemed
like an excessive use of vertical screen real estate.
- we introduced negated attributes, but then the next
paragraph basically explains how each item starts off
with no attributes. So why would one need negated
attributes? We now explain.
- minor typo, language, and typography fixes

In v2.9.0, we prematurely flipped the default to force cloning
submodules shallowly, when the superproject is getting cloned
shallowly. This is likely to fail when the upstream repositories
submodules are cloned from a repository that is not prepared to
serve histories that ends at a commit that is not at the tip of a
branch, and we know the world is not yet ready.
Use a safer default to clone the submodules fully, unless the user
tells us that she knows that the upstream repository of the
submodules are willing to cooperate with "--shallow-submodules"
option.

If you use "repack -adk" currently, we will pack all objects
that are already packed into the new pack, and then drop the
old packs. However, loose unreachable objects will be left
as-is. In theory these are meant to expire eventually with
"git prune". But if you are using "repack -k", you probably
want to keep things forever and therefore do not run "git
prune" at all. Meaning those loose objects may build up over
time and end up fooling any object-count heuristics (such as
the one done by "gc --auto", though since git-gc does not
support "repack -k", this really applies to whatever custom
scripts people might have driving "repack -k").
With this patch, we instead stuff any loose unreachable
objects into the pack along with the already-packed
unreachable objects. This may seem wasteful, but it is
really no more so than using "repack -k" in the first place.
We are at a slight disadvantage, in that we have no useful
ordering for the result, or names to hand to the delta code.
However, this is again no worse than what "repack -k" is
already doing for the packed objects. The packing of these
objects doesn't matter much because they should not be
accessed frequently (unless they actually _do_ become
referenced, but then they would get moved to a different
part of the packfile during the next repack).

Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
The usual way to do a full repack (and what is done by
git-gc) is to run "repack -Ad --unpack-unreachable=<when>",
which will loosen any unreachable objects newer than
"<when>", and drop any older ones.
This is a safer alternative to "repack -ad", because
"<when>" becomes a grace period during which we will not
drop any new objects that are about to be referenced.
However, it isn't perfectly safe. It's always possible that
a process is about to reference an old object. Even if that
process were to take care to update the timestamp on the
object, there is no atomicity with a simultaneously running
"repack" process.
So while unlikely, there is a small race wherein we may drop
an object that is in the process of being referenced. If you
do automated repacking on a large number of active
repositories, you may hit it eventually, and the result is a
corrupted repository.
It would be nice to fix that race in the long run, but it's
complicated. In the meantime, there is a much simpler
strategy for automated repository maintenance: do not drop
objects at all. We already have a "--keep-unreachable"
option in pack-objects; we just need to plumb it through
from git-repack.
Note that this _isn't_ plumbed through from git-gc, so at
this point it's strictly a tool for people doing their own
advanced repository maintenance strategy.
