These are conscious violations of the usual rules for error messages,
based on this reasoning:
- If an error message is directly followed by another sentence, it
needs to be properly terminated with a period, lest the grammar
looks broken and becomes hard to read.
- That second sentence isn't actually an error message any more, so
it should abide to conventional language rules for good looks and
legibility. Arguably, these should be converted to advice
messages (which the user can squelch, too), but that's a much
bigger effort to get right.
- Neither of these apply to the first hunk in do_exec(), but this
two-line message looks just too much like a real sentence to not
terminate it. Also, leaving it alone would make it asymmetrical
to the other hunk.

Instead of forcing each command to choose to honor GPG related

drop pure pass-through config callbacks
gpg-interface: lazily initialize and read the configuration
Instead of forcing the porcelain commands to always read the
configuration variables related to the signing and verifying
signatures, lazily initialize the necessary subsystem on demand upon
the first use.
This hopefully would make it more future-proof as we do not have to
think and decide whether we should call git_gpg_config() in the
git_config() callback for each command.
A few git_config() callback functions that used to be custom
callbacks are now just a thin wrapper around git_default_config().
We could further remove, git_FOO_config and replace calls to
git_config(git_FOO_config) with git_config(git_default_config), but
to make it clear which ones are affected and the effect is only the
removal of git_gpg_config(), it is vastly preferred not to do such a
change in this step (they can be done on top once the dust settled).

"git pull" without "--recurse-submodules=<arg>" made
submodule.recurse take precedence over fetch.recurseSubmodules by
mistake, which has been corrected.
* gc/pull-recurse-submodules:
pull: do not let submodule.recurse override fetch.recurseSubmodules
Fix a bug in "git pull" where `submodule.recurse` is preferred over
`fetch.recurseSubmodules` when performing a fetch
(Documentation/config/fetch.txt says that `fetch.recurseSubmodules`
should be preferred.). Do this by passing the value of the
"--recurse-submodules" CLI option to the underlying fetch, instead of
passing a value that combines the CLI option and config variables.
In other words, this bug occurred because builtin/pull.c is conflating
two similar-sounding, but different concepts:
- Whether "git pull" itself should care about submodules e.g. whether it
should update the submodule worktrees after performing a merge.
- The value of "--recurse-submodules" to pass to the underlying "git
fetch".
Thus, when `submodule.recurse` is set, the underlying "git fetch" gets
invoked with "--recurse-submodules[=value]", overriding the value of
`fetch.recurseSubmodules`.
An alternative (and more obvious) approach to fix the bug would be to
teach "git pull" to understand `fetch.recurseSubmodules`, but the
proposed solution works better because:
- We don't maintain two identical config-parsing implementions in "git
pull" and "git fetch".
- It works better with other commands invoked by "git pull" e.g. "git
merge" won't accidentally respect `fetch.recurseSubmodules`.

t0012: verify that built-ins handle `-h` even without gitdir
checkout/fetch/pull/pack-objects: allow `-h` outside a repository
When we taught these commands about the sparse index, we did not account
for the fact that the `cmd_*()` functions _can_ be called without a
gitdir, namely when `-h` is passed to show the usage.
A plausible approach to address this is to move the
`prepare_repo_settings()` calls right after the `parse_options()` calls:
The latter will never return when it handles `-h`, and therefore it is
safe to assume that we have a `gitdir` at that point, as long as the
built-in is marked with the `RUN_SETUP` flag.
However, it is unfortunately not that simple. In `cmd_pack_objects()`,
for example, the repo settings need to be fully populated so that the
command-line options `--sparse`/`--no-sparse` can override them, not the
other way round.
Therefore, we choose to imitate the strategy taken in `cmd_diff()`,
where we simply do not bother to prepare and initialize the repo
settings unless we have a `gitdir`.

"pull --rebase" internally uses the merge machinery when the other
history is a descendant of ours (i.e. perform fast-forward). This
came from [1], where the discussion was started from a feature
request to do so. It is a bit hard to read the rationale behind it
in the discussion, but it seems that it was an established fact for
everybody involved that does not even need to be mentioned that
fast-forwarding done with "rebase" was much undesirable than done
with "merge", and more importantly, the result left by "merge" is as
good as (or better than) that by "rebase".
Except for one thing. Because "git merge" does not (and should not)
honor rebase.autostash, "git pull" needs to read it and forward it
when we use "git merge" as a (hopefully better) substitute for "git
rebase" during the fast-forwarding. But we forgot to do so (we only
add "--[no-]autostash" to the "git merge" command when "git pull" itself
was invoked with "--[no-]autostash" command line option.
Make sure "git merge" is run with "--autostash" when
rebase.autostash is set and used to fast-forward the history on
behalf of "git rebase". Incidentally this change also takes care of
the case where
- "git pull --rebase" (without other command line options) is run
- "rebase.autostash" is not set
- The history fast-forwards
In such a case, "git merge" is run with an explicit "--no-autostash"
to prevent it from honoring merge.autostash configuration, which is
what we want. After all, we want the "git merge" to pretend as if
it is "git rebase" while being used for this purpose.

The 'git fetch' and 'git pull' commands parse the index in order to
determine if submodules exist. Without command_requires_full_index=0,
this will expand a sparse index, causing slow performance even when
there is no new data to fetch.
The .gitmodules file will never be inside a sparse directory entry, and
even if it was, the index_name_pos() method would expand the sparse
index if needed as we search for the path by name. These commands do not
iterate over the index, which is the typical thing we are careful about
when integrating with the sparse index.

On Windows, files cannot be removed nor renamed if there are still
handles held by a process. To remedy that, we try to release all open
handles to any `.pack` file before e.g. repacking (which would want to
remove the original `.pack` file(s) after it is done).
Since the `read_cache_unmerged()` and/or the `get_oid()` call in `git
pull` can cause `.pack` files to be opened, we need to release the open
handles before calling `git fetch`: the latter process might want to
spawn an auto-gc, which in turn might want to repack the objects.

There are both merge and rebase branches in the logic, and previously
both had to handle fast-forwarding. Merge handled that implicitly
(because git merge handles it directly), while in rebase it was
explicit. Given that the --ff-only flag is meant to override any
--rebase or --no-rebase, make the code reflect that by handling
--ff-only before the merge-vs-rebase logic.
It turns out that this also fixes a bug for submodules. Previously,
when --ff-only was given, the code would run `merge --ff-only` on the
main module, and then run `submodule update --recursive --rebase` on the
submodules. With this change, we still run `merge --ff-only` on the
main module, but now run `submodule update --recursive --checkout` on
the submodules. I believe this better reflects the intent of --ff-only
to have it apply to both the main module and the submodules.
(Sidenote: It is somewhat interesting that all merges pass `--checkout`
to submodule update, even when `--no-ff` is specified, meaning that it
will only do fast-forward merges for submodules. This was discussed in
commit a6d7eb2c7a ("pull: optionally rebase submodules (remote submodule
changes only)", 2017-06-23). The same limitations apply now as then, so
we are not trying to fix this at this time.)

Currently "git pull --rebase" takes a shortcut in the case a
fast-forward merge is possible; run_merge() is called with --ff-only.
However, "git merge" didn't have an --autostash option, so, when "git
pull --rebase --autostash" was called *and* the fast-forward merge
shortcut was taken, then the pull failed.
This was fixed in commit f15e7cf5cc (pull: ff --rebase --autostash
works in dirty repo, 2017-06-01) by simply skipping the fast-forward
merge shortcut.
Later on "git merge" learned the --autostash option [a03b55530a
(merge: teach --autostash option, 2020-04-07)], and so did "git pull"
[d9f15d37f1 (pull: pass --autostash to merge, 2020-04-07)].
Therefore it's not necessary to skip the fast-forward merge shortcut
anymore when called with --rebase --autostash.

reverting f15e7cf5cc.
