Update "git difftool" and "git mergetool" so that the combinations
of {diff,merge}.{tool,guitool} configuration variables serve as
fallback settings of each other in a sensible order.
* dl/difftool-mergetool:
difftool: fallback on merge.guitool
difftool: make --gui, --tool and --extcmd mutually exclusive
mergetool: fallback to tool when guitool unavailable
mergetool--lib: create gui_mode function
mergetool: use get_merge_tool function
t7610: add mergetool --gui tests
t7610: unsuppress output

"git branch new A...B" and "git checkout -b new A...B" have been
taught that in their contexts, the notation A...B means "the merge
base between these two commits", just like "git checkout A...B"
detaches HEAD at that commit.

In git-difftool.txt, it says
'git difftool' falls back to 'git mergetool' config variables when the
difftool equivalents have not been defined.
However, when `diff.guitool` is missing, it doesn't fallback to
anything. Make git-difftool fallback to `merge.guitool` when `diff.guitool` is
missing.

In git-difftool, if the tool is called with --gui but `diff.guitool` is
not set, it falls back to `diff.tool`. Make git-mergetool also fallback
from `merge.guitool` to `merge.tool` if the former is undefined.
If git-difftool, when called with `--gui`, were to use
`get_configured_mergetool` in a future patch, it would also get the
fallback behavior in the following precedence:
1. diff.guitool
2. merge.guitool
3. diff.tool
4. merge.tool
The behavior for when difftool or mergetool are called without `--gui`
should be identical with or without this patch.
Note that the search loop could be written as
sections="merge"
keys="tool"
if diff_mode
then
sections="diff $sections"
fi
if gui_mode
then
keys="guitool $keys"
fi
merge_tool=$(
IFS=' '
for key in $keys
do
for section in $sections
do
selected=$(git config $section.$key)
if test -n "$selected"
then
echo "$selected"
return
fi
done
done)
which would make adding a mode in the future much easier. However,
adding a new mode will likely never happen as it is highly discouraged
so, as a result, it is written in its current form so that it is more
readable for future readers.

In git-mergetool, the logic for getting which merge tool to use is
duplicated in git-mergetool--lib, except for the fact that it needs to
know whether the tool was guessed or not.
Rewrite `get_merge_tool` to return whether or not the tool was guessed
through the return code and make git-mergetool call this function
instead of duplicating the logic. Note that 1 was chosen to be the
return code of when a tool is guessed because it seems like a slightly
more abnormal condition than getting a tool that's explicitly specified
but this is completely arbitrary.
Also, let `$GIT_MERGETOOL_GUI` be set to determine whether or not the
guitool will be selected.
This change is not completely backwards compatible as there may be
external users of git-mergetool--lib. However, only one user,
git-diffall[1], was found from searching GitHub and Google, and this
tool is superseded by `git difftool --dir-diff` anyway. It seems very
unlikely that there exists an external caller that would take into
account the return code of `get_merge_tool` as it would always return 0
before this change so this change probably does not affect any external
users.

"git merge-recursive" backend recently learned a new heuristics to
infer file movement based on how other files in the same directory
moved. As this is inherently less robust heuristics than the one
based on the content similarity of the file itself (rather than
based on what its neighbours are doing), it sometimes gives an
outcome unexpected by the end users. This has been toned down to
leave the renamed paths in higher/conflicted stages in the index so
that the user can examine and confirm the result.
* en/merge-directory-renames:
merge-recursive: switch directory rename detection default
merge-recursive: give callers of handle_content_merge() access to contents

The revision ':README' is mentioned as an example for '<rev>:<path>'
but the explanation forwards to the ':<n>:<path>' syntax. At the same

In revisions.txt, an optional rev argument was not distinguised.
Instead, a user had to continue and read the description in order to
learn that the argument was optional.
Since the [] notation for an optional argument is common-knowledge in
the Git documentation, mark optional arguments with [] so that it's more
obvious for the reader.

When we ran something like
$ git checkout -b test master...
it would fail with the message
fatal: Not a valid object name: 'master...'.
This was caused by the call to `create_branch` where `start_name` is
expected to be a valid rev. However, git-checkout allows the branch to
be a valid _merge base_ rev (i.e. with a "...") so it was possible for
an invalid rev to be passed in.
Make `create_branch` accept a merge base rev so that this case does not
error out.
As a side-effect, teach git-branch how to handle merge base revs as
well.

The description for the "-t" option contains a sub-list of all of the
possible file status outputs. But because of the newline separating that
list from the description paragraph, asciidoc treats the sub-list
entries as a continuation of the overall options list, rather than as
children of the "-t" description.
We could fix it by adding a "+" before the sub-list to connect it to the
rest of the "-t" text. But using a pair of "--" to delimit the block is
perhaps more readable, and may have better compatibility with
asciidoctor, as in 39a869b2f2 (Documentation/rev-list-options: wrap
--date=<format> block with "--", 2019-03-30).
The extra blank line comes from 5bc0e247c4 (Document ls-files -t as
semi-obsolete., 2010-07-28), but the problem actually seems older than
that. Before then, we did:
-t:: some text...
H:: cached
M:: unmerged
etc...
but asciidoc also treats that as one big list. So this problem seems to
have been around forever.

When building with certain build options, some commands are excluded
from the build. For example, `git-credential-cache` is skipped when
building with `NO_UNIX_SOCKETS`.
Let's not build or package documentation for those excluded commands.
This issue was pointed out rightfully when running `make check-docs` on
Windows, where we do not yet have Unix sockets, and therefore the
`credential-cache` command is excluded (yet its documentation was built
and shipped).
Note: building the documentation via `make -C Documentation` leaves the
build system with no way to determine which commands have been
excluded. If called thusly, we gracefully fail to exclude their
documentation. Only when building the documentation via the top-level
Makefile will it get excluded properly, or after building
`Documentation/GIT-EXCLUDED-PROGRAMS` manually.

This change allows git-merge messages to be cleaned up with the
commit.cleanup configuration or --cleanup option, just like how
git-commit does it.
We also give git-pull the option of --cleanup so that it can also take
advantage of this change.
Finally, add testing to ensure that messages are properly cleaned up.
Note that some newlines that were added to the commit message were
removed so that if a file were read via -F, it would be copied
faithfully.

Commit 5e3548ef16 ("fetch: send server options when using protocol v2",
2018-04-24) taught "fetch" the ability to send server options when using
protocol v2, but not "clone". This ability is triggered by "-o" or
"--server-option".
Teach "clone" the same ability, except that because "clone" already
has "-o" for another parameter, teach "clone" only to receive
"--server-option".
Explain in the documentation, both for clone and for fetch, that server
handling of server options are server-specific. This is similar to
receive-pack's handling of push options - currently, they are just sent
to hooks to interpret as they see fit.
