"git remote rename X Y" needs to adjust configuration variables
(e.g. branch.<name>.remote) whose value used to be X to Y.
branch.<name>.pushRemote is now also updated.
* bw/remote-rename-update-config:
remote rename/remove: gently handle remote.pushDefault config
config: provide access to the current line number
remote rename/remove: handle branch.<name>.pushRemote config values
remote: clean-up config callback
remote: clean-up by returning early to avoid one indentation
pull --rebase/remote rename: document and honor single-letter abbreviations rebase types
When rendering the troff manpages to text via "man", we create an ad-hoc
Makefile and feed it to "make". The purpose here is two-fold:
- reuse results from a prior interrupted render of the same tree
- use make's -j option to build in parallel
But the second part doesn't seem to work (at least with my version of
GNU make, 4.2.1). It just runs one render at a time.
We use a double-colon "all" rule for each file, like:
all:: foo
foo:
...actual render recipe...
all:: bar
bar:
...actual render recipe...
...and so on...
And it's this double-colon that seems to inhibit the parallelism. We can
just switch to a regular single-colon rule. Even though we do have
multiple rules for "all" here, we don't have any recipe to execute for
"all" (we only care about triggering its dependencies), so the
distinction is irrelevant.

The example for the push.pushOption config tries to create a
preformatted section, but uses only two dashes in its "--" line. In
AsciiDoc this is an "open block", with no type; the lines end up jumbled
because they're formatted as paragraphs. We need four or more dashes to
make it a "listing block" that will respect the linebreaks.

The details of how credential helpers can be called or implemented were
originally covered in Documentation/technical/. Those are topics that
end users might care about (and we even referenced them in the
credentials manpage), but those docs typically don't ship as part of the
end user documentation, making them less useful.
This situation got slightly worse recently in f3b9055624 (credential:
move doc to credential.h, 2019-11-17), where we moved them into the C
header file, making them even harder to find.
So let's move put this information into the gitcredentials(7)
documentation, which is meant to describe the overall concepts of our
credential handling. This was already pointing to the API docs for these
concepts, so we can just include it inline instead.

Traditionally, we avoided threaded grep while searching in objects
(as opposed to files in the working tree) as accesses to the object
layer is not thread-safe. This limitation is getting lifted.

One effect of specifying where the GIT_DIR is (either with the

When 46af44b07d (pull --rebase=<type>: allow single-letter abbreviations
for the type, 2018-08-04) landed in Git, it had the side effect that
not only 'pull --rebase=<type>' accepted the single-letter abbreviations
but also the 'pull.rebase' and 'branch.<name>.rebase' configurations.
However, 'git remote rename' did not honor these single-letter
abbreviations when reading the 'branch.*.rebase' configurations.
We now document the single-letter abbreviations and both code places
share a common function to parse the values of 'git pull --rebase=*',
'pull.rebase', and 'branches.*.rebase'.
The only functional change is the handling of the `branch_info::rebase`
value. Before it was an unsigned enum, thus the truth value could be
checked with `branch_info::rebase != 0`. But `enum rebase_type` is
signed, thus the truth value must now be checked with
`branch_info::rebase >= REBASE_TRUE`

When a user queries config values with --show-origin, often it's
difficult to determine what the actual "scope" (local, global, etc.) of
a given value is based on just the origin file.
Teach 'git config' the '--show-scope' option to print the scope of all
displayed config values. Note that we should never see anything of
"submodule" scope as that is only ever used by submodule-config.c when
parsing the '.gitmodules' file.

The description of the multi-pack-index contains a small bug,
if all offsets are < 2^32 then there will be no LOFF chunk,
not only if they're all < 2^31 (since the highest bit is only
needed as the "LOFF-escape" when that's actually needed.)
Correct this, and clarify that in that case only offsets up
to 2^31-1 can be stored in the OOFF chunk.

When we exemplify the difference between `-G` and `-S` (using
`--pickaxe-regex`), we do so using an example diff and git-diff
invocation involving "regexec", "regexp", "regmatch", ...
The example is correct, but we can make it easier to untangle by
avoiding writing "regex.*" unless it's really needed to make our point.
Use some made-up, non-regexy words instead.
