- Add a basic example of how "git add" is normally used
- It's not technically true that you *must* use the `add` command to
add changes before running `git commit`, because `git commit -a`
exists. Instead say that you *can* use the `add` command.
- Mention early on that "index" is another word for "staging area",
since Git very rarely uses the word "index" in its output
(`git status`) uses the term "staged", and many Git users are
unfamiliar with the term "index"
- Remove "It typically adds" (it's not clear what "typically" means),
and instead mention that `git add -p` can be used to add
partial contents
- Currently the introduction is somewhat repetitive ("to prepare the
content staged for the next commit" ... "this snapshot that is taken
as the contents of the next commit."), replace with a single sentence
("The "index" [...] is where Git stores the contents of the next
commit.")

Add the --format flag to git-repo-info. By using this flag, the users
can choose the format for obtaining the data they requested.
Given that this command can be used for generating input for other
applications and for being read by end users, it requires at least two
formats: one for being read by humans and other for being read by
machines. Some other Git commands also have two output formats, notably
git-config which was the inspiration for the two formats that were
chosen here:
- keyvalue, where the retrieved data is printed one per line, using =
for delimiting the key and the value. This is the default format,
targeted for end users.
- nul, where the retrieved data is separated by NUL characters, using
the newline character for delimiting the key and the value. This
format is targeted for being read by machines.

This commit is part of the series that introduces the new subcommand
git-repo-info.
The flag `--is-shallow-repository` from git-rev-parse is used for
retrieving whether the repository is shallow. This way, it is used for
querying repository metadata, fitting in the purpose of git-repo-info.
Then, add a new field `layout.shallow` to the git-repo-info subcommand
containing that information.

Currently, `git rev-parse` covers a wide range of functionality not
directly related to parsing revisions, as its name suggests. Over time,
many features like parsing datestrings, options, paths, and others
were added to it because there wasn't a more appropriate command
to place them.
Create a new Git command called `repo`. `git repo` will be the main
command for obtaining the information about a repository (such as
metadata and metrics).
Also declare a subcommand for `repo` called `info`. `git repo info`
will bring the functionality of retrieving repository-related
information currently returned by `rev-parse`.
Add the required documentation and build changes to enable usage of
this subcommand.

`git imap-send` was built on the idea of copying emails to an IMAP folder
like drafts, and sending them later using an email client. Currently
the only way to do it is by piping output of `git format-patch` to IMAP
send.
Add another way to do it by using `git send-email` with the
`--use-imap-only` or `sendmail.useImapOnly` option. This allows users to
use the advanced features of `git send-email` like tweaking Cc: list
programmatically, compose the cover letter, etc. and then send the well
formatted emails to an IMAP folder using `git imap-send`.
While at it, use `` instead of '' for --smtp-encryption ssl in help
section of `git send-email`.

Some email providers like Apple iCloud Mail do not support sending a copy
of sent emails to the "Sent" folder if SMTP server is used. As a
workaround, various email clients like Thunderbird which rely on SMTP,
use IMAP to send a copy of sent emails to the "Sent" folder. Something
similar can be done if sending emails via `git send-email`, by using
the `git imap-send` command to send a copy of the sent email to an IMAP
folder specified by the user.
Add this functionality to `git send-email` by introducing a new
configuration variable `sendemail.imapfolder` and command line option
`--imap-folder` which specifies the IMAP folder to send a copy of the
sent emails to. If specified, a copy of the sent emails will be sent
by piping the emails to `git imap-send` command, after all emails are
sent via SMTP and the SMTP server has been closed.

The synopsis section has an extra closing bracket, like this:
[--filter=<filter>] [--also-filter-submodules]]
The extra one is not the one at the end of this line; it is the one
after "...=<filter>".
The "--also-filter-submodules" option was added by f05da2b4 (clone,
submodule: pass partial clone filters to submodules, 2022-02-04).
Because it makes sense only when used with the "--filter=<filter>"
option, these two options are enclosed in a pair of brackets. The
extra one was added by 76880f05 (doc: git-clone: apply new
documentation formatting guidelines, 2024-03-29) by mistake.

For simplifying automated translation of the documentation, it is better to
only present one term in each entry of a description list of options. This
is because most of these terms can automatically be marked as
notranslatable.
Also, due to portability issues, the script generate-configlist.sh can no
longer insert newlines in the output. However, the result is that it no
longer correctly handles multiple terms in a single entry of definition
lists.
As a result, we now check that these entries do not exist in the
documentation.

Having an empty line before each delimited sections is not required by
asciidoc, but it is a safety measure that prevents generating malformed
asciidoc when generating translated documentation.
When a delimited section appears just after a paragraph, the asciidoc
processor checks that the length of the delimited section header is
different from the length of the paragraph. If it is not, the asciidoc
processor will generate a title. In the original English documentation, this
is not a problem because the authors always check the output of the asciidoc
processor and fix the length of the delimited section header if it turns out
to be the same as the paragraph length. However, this is not the case for
translations, where the authors have no way to check the length of the
delimited section header or the output of the asciidoc processor. This can
lead to a section title that is not intended.
Indeed, this test also checks that titles are correctly formed, that is,
the length of the underline is equal to the length of the title (otherwise
it would not be a title but a section header).
Finally, this test checks that the delimited section are terminated within
the same file.

When you are doing a tree-diff, there are basically two options: do not
recurse into subtrees at all, or recurse indefinitely. While most
callers would want to always recurse and see full pathnames, some may
want the efficiency of looking only at a particular level of the tree.
This is currently easy to do for the top-level (just turn off
recursion), but you cannot say "show me what changed in subdir/, but do
not recurse".
This patch adds a max-depth parameter which is measured from the closest
pathspec match, so that you can do:
git log --raw --max-depth=1 -- a/b/c
and see the raw output for a/b/c/, but not those of a/b/c/d/
(instead of the raw output you would see for a/b/c/d).

While we provide a couple of subcommands in git-reflog(1) to remove
reflog entries, we don't provide any to write new entries. Obviously
this is not an operation that really would be needed for many use cases
out there, or otherwise people would have complained that such a command
does not exist yet. But the introduction of the "reftable" backend
changes the picture a bit, as it is now basically impossible to manually
append a reflog entry if one wanted to do so due to the binary format.
Plug this gap by introducing a simple "write" subcommand. For now, all
this command does is to append a single new reflog entry with the given
object IDs and message to the reflog. More specifically, it is not yet
possible to:
- Write multiple reflog entries at once.
- Insert reflog entries at arbitrary indices.
- Specify the date of the reflog entry.
- Insert reflog entries that refer to nonexistent objects.
If required, those features can be added at a future point in time. For
now though, the new command aims to fulfill the most basic use cases
while being as strict as possible when it comes to verifying parameters.

The way subcommands of git-reflog(1) are laid out does not make any
immediate sense. Reorder them such that read-only subcommands precede
writing commands for a bit more structure.
Furthermore, move the "expire" subcommand last. This prepares for a
subsequent change where we are about to introduce a new "write" command
to append reflog entries. Like this, the writing subcommands are ordered
such that those affecting a single reflog come before those spanning
across all reflogs.

Git's reference management is distributed across multiple commands. As
part of an ongoing effort to consolidate and modernize reference
handling, introduce a `list` subcommand under the `git refs` umbrella as
a replacement for `git for-each-ref`.
Implement `cmd_refs_list` by having it call the `for_each_ref_core()`
helper function. This helper was factored out of the original
`cmd_for_each_ref` in a preceding commit, allowing both commands to
share the same core logic as independent peers.
Add documentation for the new command. The man page leverages the shared
options file, created in a previous commit, by using the AsciiDoc
`include::` macro to ensure consistency with git-for-each-ref(1).

In ac33519ddfa8 (mingw: restrict file handle inheritance only on Windows
7 and later, 2019-11-22), I introduced code to safe-guard the
defense-in-depth handling that restricts handles' inheritance so that it
would work with Windows 7, too.
Let's revert this patch: Git for Windows dropped supporting Windows 7 (and
Windows 8) directly after Git for Windows v2.46.2. For full details, see
https://gitforwindows.org/requirements#windows-version.
Actually, on second thought: revert only the part that makes this handle
inheritance restriction logic optional and that suggests to open a bug
report if it fails, but keep the fall-back to try again without said
logic: There have been a few false positives over the past few years
(where the warning was triggered e.g. because Defender was still
accessing a file that Git wanted to overwrite), and the fall-back logic
seems to have helped occasionally in such situations.

This patch compliments the previous commit, where builtins that use
add-patch infrastructure now respect diff.context and
diff.interHunkContext file configurations.
In particular, this patch helps users who don't want to set persistent
context configurations or just want a way to override them on a one-time
basis, by allowing the relevant builtins to accept corresponding command
line options that override the file configurations.
This mimics commands such as diff and log, which allow for both context
file configuration and command line overrides.

format placeholders in italics and keywords in monospace.
