From api-parse-options.txt:
`description` is a short string to describe the effect of the option.
It shall begin with a lower-case letter and a full stop (`.`) shall be
omitted at the end.
It also makes it less confusing if the argument is 'no.' or 'no'.

The message is especially confusing when "git fetch" is ran from "git
pull", for users not aware of "git fetch". The new message makes it clear
that "fetch" means "fetch new revisions", and gives hint on the solution.
We don't add a advice.* configuration option since this message doesn't

One test case checked the stdout and stderr of 'git add' by constructing a
single 'expect' file that contained both streams. But when the command
runs, the order of stdout and stderr output is unpredictable because it
depends on how the streams are buffered. At least on Windows, the buffering
is different from what the test case expected. Hence, check the two output
texts separately.

On systems with an echo which defaults to the XSI-conformant behavior
(Solaris, or others using Ksh), echo will interpret certain backslashed
characters as control sequences. This can cause a problem for interactive
rebase when it is used to rebase commits whose commit "subject" (the first
line) contains any of these backslashed sequences. In this case, echo will
substitute the control sequence for the backslashed characters and either
the rebased commit message will differ from the original, or the rebase
process will fail. Neither is desirable.
So work around this issue by replacing the echo statements used to print
out portions of the commit message, with printf.
Also, add a test to test for this breakage.

To conserve space/improve file caching we try to make hard or symbolic links
from each builtin program to the main git executable rather than having
each be a complete duplicate copy of it. We weren't doing this for the
non-builtin programs though. So, just because we can, and because it's
easy, and for completeness sake, let's do it.

the 'httpd' name and is not named 'apache2'. The path to the
server modules also contains 'httpd' rather than 'apache2'.

The '!()' notation is interpreted as a pattern-list on Ksh. The Ksh man
page describe it as follows:
!(pattern-list)
Matches anything except one of the given patterns.
Ksh performs a file glob using the pattern-list and then tries to execute
the first file in the list. If a space is added between the '!' and the
open parens, then Ksh will not interpret it as a pattern list, but in this
case, it is preferred to use test_must_fail, so lets do so.

These two lines use the negation '!' operator to negate the result of a
simple command. Since these commands do not contain any pipes or other
complexities, the test_must_fail function can be used and is preferred
since it will additionally detect termination due to a signal.
This was noticed because the second use of '!' does not include a space
between the '!' and the opening parens. Ksh interprets this as follows:
!(pattern-list)
Matches anything except one of the given patterns.

Some have found the wording of the description to be somewhat ambiguous
with respect to when it is desirable to use test_must_fail instead of
"! <git-command>". Tweak the wording somewhat to hopefully clarify that
it is _because_ test_must_fail can detect segmentation fault that it is
desirable to use it instead of "! <git-command>".
