In documentation pertaining to autostash behavior, we refer to the
"stash reflog". This description is too low-level as the reflog refers
to an implementation detail of how the stash works and, for end-users,
they do not need to be aware of this at all.
Change references of "stash reflog" to "stash list", which should
provide more accessible terminology for end-users.

In rebase, one can pass the `--autostash` option to cause the worktree
to be automatically stashed before continuing with the rebase. This
option is missing in merge, however.
Implement the `--autostash` option and corresponding `merge.autoStash`
option in merge which stashes before merging and then pops after.
This option is useful when a developer has some local changes on a topic
branch but they realize that their work depends on another branch.
Previously, they had to run something like
git fetch ...
git stash push
git merge FETCH_HEAD
git stash pop
but now, that is reduced to
git fetch ...
git merge --autostash FETCH_HEAD
When an autostash is generated, it is automatically reapplied to the
worktree only in three explicit situations:
1. An incomplete merge is commit using `git commit`.
2. A merge completes successfully.
3. A merge is aborted using `git merge --abort`.
In all other situations where the merge state is removed using
remove_merge_branch_state() such as aborting a merge via
`git reset --hard`, the autostash is saved into the stash reflog
instead keeping the worktree clean.

f8b863598c ("builtin/merge: honor commit-msg hook for merges", 2017-09-07)
introduced the no-verify flag to merge for bypassing the commit-msg
hook, though in a different way from the implementation in commit.c.
Change the implementation in merge.c to be the same as in commit.c so
that both do the same in the same way. This also changes the output of
"git merge --help" to be more clear that the hook return code is
respected by default.

Two new commands "git switch" and "git restore" are introduced to
split "checking out a branch to work on advancing its history" and
"checking out paths out of the index and/or a tree-ish to work on
advancing the current history" out of the single "git checkout"
command.
* nd/switch-and-restore: (46 commits)
completion: disable dwim on "git switch -d"
switch: allow to switch in the middle of bisect
t2027: use test_must_be_empty
Declare both git-switch and git-restore experimental
help: move git-diff and git-reset to different groups
doc: promote "git restore"
user-manual.txt: prefer 'merge --abort' over 'reset --hard'
completion: support restore
t: add tests for restore
restore: support --patch
restore: replace --force with --ignore-unmerged
restore: default to --source=HEAD when only --staged is specified
restore: reject invalid combinations with --staged
restore: add --worktree and --staged
checkout: factor out worktree checkout code
restore: disable overlay mode by default
restore: make pathspec mandatory
restore: take tree-ish from --source option instead

Command mode options that the user can choose one among many are
listed like this in the documentation:
git am (--continue | --skip | --abort | --quit)
They are listed on a single line and in parenthesis, because they
are not optional.

"git merge" learned "--quit" option that cleans up the in-progress
merge while leaving the working tree and the index still in a mess.
* nd/merge-quit:
merge: add --quit
merge: remove drop_save() in favor of remove_merge_branch_state()
|
|
This allows to cancel the current merge without resetting worktree/index,
which is what --abort is for. Like other --quit(s), this is often used
when you forgot that you're in the middle of a merge and already
switched away, doing different things. By the time you've realized, you
can't even continue the merge anymore.
This also makes all in-progress commands, am, merge, rebase, revert and
cherry-pick, take all three --abort, --continue and --quit (bisect has a
different UI).

This is consistent with `git commit` which, like `git merge`, supports
passing the commit message via `-m <msg>` and, unlike `git merge` before
this patch, via `-F <file>`.
It is useful to allow this for scripted use, or for the upcoming patch
to allow (re-)creating octopus merges in `git rebase --rebase-merges`.

builtin/merge.c contains this important requirement for merge strategies:
...the index must be in sync with the head commit. The strategies are
responsible to ensure this.
However, Documentation/git-merge.txt says:
...[merge will] abort if there are any changes registered in the index
relative to the `HEAD` commit. (One exception is when the changed
index entries are in the state that would result from the merge
already.)
Interestingly, prior to commit c0be8aa06b85 ("Documentation/git-merge.txt:
Partial rewrite of How Merge Works", 2008-07-19),
Documentation/git-merge.txt said much more:
...the index file must match the tree of `HEAD` commit...
[NOTE]
This is a bit of a lie. In certain special cases [explained
in detail]...
Otherwise, merge will refuse to do any harm to your repository
(that is...your working tree...and index are left intact).
So, this suggests that the exceptions existed because there were special
cases where it would case no harm, and potentially be slightly more
convenient for the user. While the current text in git-merge.txt does
list a condition under which it would be safe to proceed despite the index
not matching HEAD, it does not match what is actually implemented, in
three different ways:
* The exception is written to describe what unpack-trees allows. Not
all merge strategies allow such an exception, though, making this
description misleading. 'ours' and 'octopus' merges have strictly
enforced index==HEAD for a while, and the commit previous to this
one made 'recursive' do so as well.
* If someone did a three-way content merge on a specific file using
versions from the relevant commits and staged it prior to running
merge, then that path would technically satisfy the exception listed
in git-merge.txt. unpack-trees.c would still error out on the path,
though, because it defers the three-way content merge logic to other
parts of the code (resolve, octopus, or recursive) and has no way of
checking whether the index entry from before the merge will match
the end result of the merge.
* The exception as implemented in unpack-trees actually only checked
that the index matched the MERGE_HEAD version of the file and that
HEAD matched the merge base. Assuming no renames, that would indeed
provide cases where the index matches the end result we'd get from a
merge. But renames means unpack-trees is checking that it instead
matches something other than what the final result will be, risking
either erroring out when we shouldn't need to, or not erroring out
when we should and overwriting the user's staged changes.
In addition to the wording behind this exception being misleading, it is
also somewhat surprising to see how many times the code for the special
cases were wrong or the check to make sure the index matched head was
forgotten altogether:
* Prior to commit ee6566e8d70d ("[PATCH] Rewrite read-tree", 2005-09-05),
there were many cases where an unclean index entry was allowed (look for
merged_entry_allow_dirty()); it appears that in those cases, the merge
would have simply overwritten staged changes with the result of the
merge. Thus, the merge result would have been correct, but the user's
uncommitted changes could be thrown away without warning.
* Prior to commit 160252f81626 ("git-merge-ours: make sure our index
matches HEAD", 2005-11-03), the 'ours' merge strategy did not check
whether the index matched HEAD. If it didn't, the resulting merge
would include all the staged changes, and thus wasn't really an 'ours'
strategy.
* Prior to commit 3ec62ad9ffba ("merge-octopus: abort if index does not
match HEAD", 2016-04-09), 'octopus' merges did not check whether the
index matched HEAD, also resulting in any staged changes from before
the commit silently being folded into the resulting merge. commit
a6ee883b8eb5 ("t6044: new merge testcases for when index doesn't match
HEAD", 2016-04-09) was also added at the same time to try to test to
make sure all strategies did the necessary checking for the requirement
that the index match HEAD. Sadly, it didn't catch all the cases, as
evidenced by the remainder of this list...
* Prior to commit 65170c07d466 ("merge-recursive: avoid incorporating
uncommitted changes in a merge", 2017-12-21), merge-recursive simply
relied on unpack_trees() to do the necessary check, but in one special
case it avoided calling unpack_trees() entirely and accidentally ended
up silently including any staged changes from before the merge in the
resulting merge commit.
* The commit immediately before this one in this series noted that the
exceptions were written in a way that assumed no renames, making it
unsafe for merge-recursive to use. merge-recursive was modified to
use its own check to enforce that index==HEAD.
This history makes it very tempting to go into builtin/merge.c and replace
the comment that strategies must enforce that index matches HEAD with code
that just enforces it. At this point, that would only affect the
'resolve' strategy; all other strategies have each been modified to
manually enforce it. (However, note that index==HEAD is not strictly
enforced for fast-forward merges, as those are not considered a merge
strategy and they trigger in builtin/merge.c before the section in the
code where the relevant comment is found.)
But, even if we don't take the step of just fixing these problems by
enforcing index==HEAD for all strategies, we at least need to update this
misleading documentation in git-merge.txt. For now, just modify the claim
in Documentation/git-merge.txt to fix the error. The precise details
around combination of merges strategies and special cases probably is not
relevant to most users, so simply state that exceptions may exist but are
narrow and vary depending upon which merge strategy is in use.

so and instead leaves it as low-hanging fruit for others,

the other project into some location in the working tree of an
existing project and making sure how well they fit together, it
is sufficient to allow a local merge without such an option

While it makes sense to allow merging unrelated histories of two
projects that started independently into one, in the way "gitk" was
merged to "git" itself aka "the coolest merge ever", such a merge is
still an unusual event. Worse, if somebody creates an independent
history by starting from a tarball of an established project and
sends a pull request to the original project, "git merge" however
happily creates such a merge without any sign of something unusual
is happening.
Teach "git merge" to refuse to create such a merge by default,
unless the user passes a new "--allow-unrelated-histories" option to
tell it that the user is aware that two unrelated projects are
merged.
Because such a "two project merge" is a rare event, a configuration
option to always allow such a merge is not added.

Very small number of options take a parameter that is optional
(which is not a great UI element as they can only appear at the end
of the command line). Add notice to documentation of each and

Improve the documentation of commands taking optional arguments in two
ways:
* Documents the behavior of '-O' (for grep) and '-S' (for commands
creating commits) when used without the optional argument.
* Document the syntax of these options.
For the second point, the behavior is documented in gitcli(7), but it is
easy for users to miss, and hard for the same user to understand why e.g.
"git status -u no" does not work.
Document this explicitly in the documentation of each short option having
an optional argument: they are the most error prone since there is no '='
sign between the option and its argument.

The collect_parents() function now is responsible for
1. parsing the commits given on the command line into a list of
commits to be merged;
2. filtering these parents into independent ones; and
3. optionally calling fmt_merge_msg() via prepare_merge_message()
to prepare an auto-generated merge log message, using fake
contents that FETCH_HEAD would have had if these commits were
fetched from the current repository with "git pull . $args..."
Make "git merge FETCH_HEAD" to be the same as the traditional
git merge "$(git fmt-merge-msg <.git/FETCH_HEAD)" $commits
invocation of the command in "git pull", where $commits are the ones
that appear in FETCH_HEAD that are not marked as not-for-merge, by
making it do a bit more, specifically:
- noticing "FETCH_HEAD" is the only "commit" on the command line
and picking the commits that are not marked as not-for-merge as
the list of commits to be merged (substitute for step #1 above);
- letting the resulting list fed to step #2 above;
- doing the step #3 above, using the contents of the FETCH_HEAD
instead of fake contents crafted from the list of commits parsed
in the step #1 above.
Note that this changes the semantics. "git merge FETCH_HEAD" has
always behaved as if the first commit in the FETCH_HEAD file were
directly specified on the command line, creating a two-way merge
whose auto-generated merge log said "merge commit xyz". With this
change, if the previous fetch was to grab multiple branches (e.g.
"git fetch $there topic-a topic-b"), the new world order is to
create an octopus, behaving as if "git pull $there topic-a topic-b"
were run. This is a deliberate change to make that happen, and
can be seen in the changes to t3033 tests.

'###' in this file) showing that 'git merge --abort' could not always

Still, in many cases, 'git merge --abort' just works, and it is usually
considered that the ability to start a merge with uncommited changes is
an important property of Git.
Weaken the warning by discouraging only merge with /non-trivial/

Document the 1.7.9 feature to merge a signed tag and keep that in
the mergetag header in the resulting commit better.

When asking Git to merge a tag (such as a signed tag or annotated tag),
it will always create a merge commit even if fast-forward was possible.
It's like having --no-ff present on the command line.
It's a difference from the default behavior described in git-merge.txt.
It should be documented as an exception of "FAST-FORWARD MERGE" section
and "--ff" option description.
