This reverts commit 5d9324e0f4210bb7d52bcb79efe3935703083f72, reversing
changes made to c58ae96fc4bb11916b62a96940bb70bb85ea5992.
The topic turns out to be too buggy for real use.

Documentation markup fix.
* ma/config-advice-markup-fix:
config/advice.txt: fix description list separator
|
|
The whole submoduleAlternateErrorStrategyDie item is interpreted as
being part of the supporting content of the preceding item. This is
because we don't give a double-colon "::" for the separator, but just a
single colon, ":". Let's fix that.
There are a few other matches for [^:]:\s*$ in Documentation/config, but
I didn't spot any similar bugs among them.

Using 'git submodule (init|deinit)' a user can select a subset of
submodules to populate. This behaves very similar to the sparse-checkout
feature, but those directories contain their own .git directory
including an object database and ref space. To have the sparse-checkout
file also determine if those files should exist would easily cause
problems. Therefore, keeping these features independent in this way
is the best way forward.
Also create a test that demonstrates this behavior to make sure
it doesn't change as the sparse-checkout feature evolves.

When core.sparseCheckoutCone is enabled, the 'git sparse-checkout set'
command takes a list of directories as input, then creates an ordered
list of sparse-checkout patterns such that those directories are
recursively included and all sibling entries along the parent directories
are also included. Listing the patterns is less user-friendly than the
directories themselves.
In cone mode, and as long as the patterns match the expected cone-mode
pattern types, change the output of 'git sparse-checkout list' to only
show the directories that created the patterns.
With this change, the following piped commands would not change the
working directory:
git sparse-checkout list | git sparse-checkout set --stdin
The only time this would not work is if core.sparseCheckoutCone is
true, but the sparse-checkout file contains patterns that do not
match the expected pattern types for cone mode.

The line number, regex or offset parameters <start> and <end> in
`git log -L <start>,<end>:<file>`, or the function name regex in
`git log -L :<funcname>:<file>` must exist in the starting
revision, or else the command exits with a fatal error.
This is not obvious in the documentation, so add a note to that

Currently the line-log functionality (git log -L) only supports
displaying patch output (`-p | --patch`, its default behavior) and suppressing it
(`-s | --no-patch`). A check was added in the code to that effect in 5314efaea
(line-log: detect unsupported formats, 2019-03-10) but the documentation was not
updated.
Explicitly mention that `-L` implies `-p`, that patch output can be
suppressed using `-s`, and that all other diff formats are not allowed.

When a user uses the sparse-checkout feature in cone mode, they
add patterns using "git sparse-checkout set <dir1> <dir2> ..."
or by using "--stdin" to provide the directories line-by-line over
stdin. This behaviour naturally looks a lot like the way a user
would type "git add <dir1> <dir2> ..."
If core.ignoreCase is enabled, then "git add" will match the input
using a case-insensitive match. Do the same for the sparse-checkout
feature.
Perform case-insensitive checks while updating the skip-worktree
bits during unpack_trees(). This is done by changing the hash
algorithm and hashmap comparison methods to optionally use case-
insensitive methods.
When this is enabled, there is a small performance cost in the
hashing algorithm. To tease out the worst possible case, the
following was run on a repo with a deep directory structure:
git ls-tree -d -r --name-only HEAD |
git sparse-checkout set --stdin
The 'set' command was timed with core.ignoreCase disabled or
enabled. For the repo with a deep history, the numbers were
core.ignoreCase=false: 62s
core.ignoreCase=true: 74s (+19.3%)
For reproducibility, the equivalent test on the Linux kernel
repository had these numbers:
core.ignoreCase=false: 3.1s
core.ignoreCase=true: 3.6s (+16%)
Now, this is not an entirely fair comparison, as most users
will define their sparse cone using more shallow directories,
and the performance improvement from eb42feca97 ("unpack-trees:
hash less in cone mode" 2019-11-21) can remove most of the
hash cost. For a more realistic test, drop the "-r" from the
ls-tree command to store only the first-level directories.
In that case, the Linux kernel repository takes 0.2-0.25s in
each case, and the deep repository takes one second, plus or
minus 0.05s, in each case.
Thus, we _can_ demonstrate a cost to this change, but it is
unlikely to matter to any reasonable sparse-checkout cone.

In 8164c961e1 (format-patch: use --notes behavior for format.notes,
2019-12-09), we slightly tweaked the behavior of having multiple

documentation to reflect this, however.
Explictly state the behavior of having multiple `format.notes`
configuration variables so users are clear on what to expect.

Presently in the manpages git-submodule[1] links to gitsubmodules[7]
and gitmodules[5], gitsubmodules[7] links to git-submodule[1] and gitmodules[5],
but gitmodules[5] only link to git-submodule[1] (and git-config[1]).
Add a link to gitsubmodules[7] in gitmodules[5], so that a person
stumbling upon gitmodules[5] can quickly access gitsubmodules[7],
which has a more high-level overview of submodule usage.
