The straightforward way with using 'cat .git/refs/heads/*' doesn't work
with packed refs as well as branches of the form topic/topic1. So let's
use git-for-each-ref for getting the heads' SHA1s in this example.

Commit notes are blobs which are shown together with the commit
message. These blobs are taken from the notes ref, which you can
configure by the config variable core.notesRef, which in turn can
be overridden by the environment variable GIT_NOTES_REF.
The notes ref is a branch which contains "files" whose names are
the names of the corresponding commits (i.e. the SHA-1).
The rationale for putting this information into a ref is this: we
want to be able to fetch and possibly union-merge the notes,
maybe even look at the date when a note was introduced, and we
want to store them efficiently together with the other objects.

When no tagger was found (old Git produced tags like this),
no "tagger" line is printed (but this is incompatible with the current
git fast-import).
Alternatively, you can pass the option --fake-missing-tagger, forcing
fast-export to fake a tagger
Unspecified Tagger <no-tagger>
with a tag date of the beginning of (Unix) time in the case of a missing
tagger, so that fast-import is still able to import the result.

The SYNOPSIS section of the manual writes:
git checkout [options] [<tree-ish>] [--] <paths>...
but the DESCRIPTION says that this form checks the paths out "from the
index, or from a named commit." A later sentence refers to the same
argument as "<tree-ish> argument", but it is not clear that these two
sentences are talking about the same command line argument for first-time
readers.

This comes from conversation at the GitTogether where we thought it would
be helpful to be able to teach people to 'stage' files because it tends
to cause confusion when told that they have to keep 'add'ing them.
This continues the movement to start referring to the index as a
staging area (eg: the --staged alias to 'git diff'). Also adds a
doc file for 'git stage' that basically points to the docs for
'git add'.

The new callback function strbuf_expand_dict_cb() can be used together
with strbuf_expand() if there is only a small number of placeholders
for static replacement texts. It expects its dictionary as an array of
placeholder+value pairs as context parameter, terminated by an entry
with the placeholder member set to NULL.
The new helper is intended to aid converting the remaining calls of
interpolate(). strbuf_expand() is smaller, more flexible and can be
used to go faster than interpolate(), so it should replace the latter.

This can do the lstat() storm in parallel, giving potentially much
improved performance for cold-cache cases or things like NFS that have
weak metadata caching.
Just use "read_cache_preload()" instead of "read_cache()" to force an
optimistic preload of the index stat data. The function takes a
pathspec as its argument, allowing us to preload only the relevant
portion of the index.
