"git show-branch --no-topo-order" behaved exactly the same way as
"git show-branch --topo-order" did, which was nonsense. This was
because we choose between topo- and date- by setting a variable to
either REV_SORT_IN_GRAPH_ORDER or REV_SORT_BY_COMMIT_DATE with
OPT_SET_INT() and REV_SORT_IN_GRAPH_ORDER happens to be 0. The
OPT_SET_INT() macro assigns 0 to the target variable in respose to
the negated form of its option.
"--no-date-order" by luck behaves identically to "--topo-order"
exactly for the same reason, and it sort-of makes sense right now,
but the "sort-of makes sense" will quickly break down once we add a
third way to sort. Not-A may be B when there are only two choices
between A and B, but once your choices become among A, B, and C,
not-A does not mean B.
Just mark these two ordering options to reject negation, and add a
test, which was missing. "git show-branch --no-reflog" is also
unnegatable, so throw in a test for that while we are at it.

The parse-options API responds to "git cmd -h" by listing the option
flag (padded to the USAGE_OPTS_WIDTH column), followed by USAGE_GAP
(set to 2) whitespaces, followed by the help text. If the flags
part does not fit within the USAGE_OPTS_WIDTH, the help text is given
on its own line. Imagine that "@" below depicts the USAGE_OPTS_WIDTH'th
column, and "#" are for the usage help text, the output may look
like this:
@@@@@@@@@@@@@ ########################################
-f description of the flag '-f' comes here
--short=<num> description of the flag '--short'
--very-long-option=<number>
description of the flag '--very-long-option'
This is all good and nice in principle, but it becomes awkward when
the flags part is just one column over the limit and forces a line
break. See the description of the "--almost" option below:
@@@@@@@@@@@@@ ########################################
-f description of the flag '-f' comes here
--short=<num> description of the flag '--short'
--almost=<num>
description of the flag '--almost'
--very-long-option=<number>
description of the flag '--very-long-option'
If we allow shrinking the gap to a single whitespace only in such a
case, we would instead get:
@@@@@@@@@@@@@ ########################################
-f description of the flag '-f' comes here
--short=<num> description of the flag '--short'
--almost=<num> description of the flag '--almost'
--very-long-option=<number>
description of the flag '--very-long-option'
and the boundary between the flags and their descriptions does not
become any harder to see, while saving precious vertical screen real
estate.

The help text for the --tags option was split into two option[]
entries, which was a hacky way to give two lines of help text (the
second entry did not have either short or long help, and there was
no way to invoke its entry---it was there only for the help text).
As we now support multi-line text in the option help, let's make
the second line of the help a proper second line and remove the
hacky second entry.

When "-h" triggers the short-help in a command that implements its
option parsing using the parse-options API, the option help text is
shown with a single fprintf() as a long line. When the text is
multi-line, the second and subsequent lines are not left padded,
that breaks the alignment across options.
Borrowing the idea from the advice API where its hint strings are
shown with (localized) "hint:" prefix, let's internally split the
(localized) help text into lines, and showing the first line, pad
the remaining lines to align.

"git show-branch --no-sparse" behaved exactly the same way as "git
show-branch --sparse", which did not make any sense. This was
because it used a variable "dense" initialized to 1 by default to
give "non sparse" behaviour, and OPT_SET_INT() to set the varilable
to 0 in response to the "--sparse" option. Unfortunately,
OPT_SET_INT() sets 0 to the given variable when the option is
negated.
Flip the polarity of the variable "dense" by renaming it to "sparse"
and initializing it to 0, and have OPT_SET_INT() set the variable to
1 when "--sparse" is given. This way, "--no-sparse" would set 0 to
the variable and would give us the "dense" behaviour.

We return the oid that matched, but the sole caller only cares whether
we matched anything at all. This is mostly academic, since there's only
one caller, but the lifetime of the returned pointer is not immediately
clear. Sometimes it points to an oid in a tag struct, which should live
forever. And sometimes to the oid passed in, which only lives as long as
the each_ref_fn callback we're called from.
Simplify this to a boolean return which is more direct and obvious. As a
bonus, this lets us avoid the weird pattern of overwriting our "oid"
parameter in the loop (since we now only refer to the tagged oid one
time, and can just inline the call to get it).

When handling --points-at, we have to try to peel each ref to see if
it's a tag that points at a requested oid. We start this process by
calling parse_object() on the oid pointed to by each ref.
The cost of parsing each object adds up, especially in an output that
doesn't otherwise need to open the objects at all. Ideally we'd use
peel_iterated_oid() here, which uses the cached information in the
packed-refs file. But we can't, because our --points-at must match not
only the fully peeled value, but any interim values (so if tag A points
to tag B which points to commit C, we should match --points-at=B, but
peel_iterated_oid() will only tell us about C).
So the best we can do (absent changes to the packed-refs peel traits) is
to avoid parsing non-tags. The obvious way to do that is to call
oid_object_info() to check the type before parsing. But there are a few
gotchas there, like checking if the object has already been parsed.
Instead we can just tell parse_object() that we are OK skipping the hash
check, which lets it turn on several optimizations. Commits can be
loaded via the commit graph (so it's both fast and we have the benefit
of the parsed data if we need it later at the output stage). Blobs are
not loaded at all. Trees are still loaded, but it's rather rare to have
a ref point directly to a tree (and since this is just an optimization,
kicking in 99% of the time is OK).
Even though we're paying for an extra lookup, the cost to avoid parsing
the non-tags is a net benefit. In my git.git repository with 941 tags
and 1440 other refs pointing to commits, this significantly cuts the
runtime:
Benchmark 1: ./git.old for-each-ref --points-at=HEAD
Time (mean ± σ): 26.8 ms ± 0.5 ms [User: 24.5 ms, System: 2.2 ms]
Range (min … max): 25.9 ms … 29.2 ms 107 runs
Benchmark 2: ./git.new for-each-ref --points-at=HEAD
Time (mean ± σ): 9.1 ms ± 0.3 ms [User: 6.8 ms, System: 2.2 ms]
Range (min … max): 8.6 ms … 10.2 ms 308 runs
Summary
'./git.new for-each-ref --points-at=HEAD' ran
2.96 ± 0.10 times faster than './git.old for-each-ref --points-at=HEAD'
In a repository that is mostly annotated tags, we'd expect less
improvement (we might still skip a few object loads, but that's balanced
by the extra lookups). In my clone of linux.git, which has 782 tags and
3 branches, the run-time is about the same (it's actually ~1% faster on
average after this patch, but that's within the run-to-run noise).

When we peel tags to check if they match a --points-at oid, we
recursively parse the tagged object to see if it is also a tag. But
since the tag itself tells us the type of the object it points to (and
even gives us the appropriate object struct via its "tagged" member), we
can use that directly.
We do still have to make sure to call parse_tag() before looking at each
tag. This is redundant for the outermost tag (since we did call
parse_object() to find its type), but that's OK; parse_tag() is smart
enough to make this a noop when the tag has already been parsed.
In my clone of linux.git, with 782 tags (and only 3 non-tags), this
yields a significant speedup (bringing us back where we were before the
commit before this one started recursively dereferencing tags):
Benchmark 1: ./git.old for-each-ref --points-at=HEAD --format="%(refname)"
Time (mean ± σ): 20.3 ms ± 0.5 ms [User: 11.1 ms, System: 9.1 ms]
Range (min … max): 19.6 ms … 21.5 ms 141 runs
Benchmark 2: ./git.new for-each-ref --points-at=HEAD --format="%(refname)"
Time (mean ± σ): 11.4 ms ± 0.2 ms [User: 6.3 ms, System: 5.0 ms]
Range (min … max): 11.0 ms … 12.2 ms 250 runs
Summary
'./git.new for-each-ref --points-at=HEAD --format="%(refname)"' ran

Tags are dereferenced until reaching a different object type to handle
nested tags, e.g. on checkout. In contrast, "git tag --points-at=..."
fails to list such nested tags because only one level of indirection is
obtained in filter_refs(). Implement the recursive dereferencing for the
"--points-at" option when filtering refs to unify the behaviour.

Background: The guidance to "base your work on the oldest branch that
your change is relevant to" was added in d0c26f0f56 (SubmittingPatches:
Add new section about what to base work on, 2010-04-19). That commit
also added the bullet points which describe the scenarios where one
would use one of the following named branches: "maint", "master",
"next", and "seen" ("pu" in the original as that was the name of this
branch before it was renamed, per 828197de8f (docs: adjust for the
recent rename of `pu` to `seen`, 2020-06-25)). The guidance was probably
taken from existing similar language introduced in the "Merge upwards"
section of gitworkflows in f948dd8992 (Documentation: add manpage about
workflows, 2008-10-19).
Summary: This change simplifies the guidance by pointing users to just
"maint" or "master". But it also gives an explanation of why that is
preferred and what is meant by preferring "older" branches (which might
be confusing to some because "old" here is meant in relative terms
between these named branches, not in terms of the age of the branches
themselves). We also add an example to illustrate why it would be a bad
idea to use "next" as a starting point, which may not be so obvious to
new contributors.
