An option of type OPTION_SET_INT can be defined to set its variable to
zero. It's negated variant will do the same, though, which is
confusing. Several such options were fixed by disabling negation,
changing the value to set or using a different option type:
991c552916 (ls-tree: fix --no-full-name, 2023-07-18)
e12cb98e1e (branch: reject "--no-all" and "--no-remotes" early, 2023-07-18)
68cbb20e73 (show-branch: reject --[no-](topo|date)-order, 2023-07-19)
3821eb6c3d (reset: reject --no-(mixed|soft|hard|merge|keep) option, 2023-07-19)
36f76d2a25 (pack-objects: fix --no-quiet, 2023-07-21)
3a5f308741 (pack-objects: fix --no-keep-true-parents, 2023-07-21)
c95ae3ff9c (describe: fix --no-exact-match, 2023-07-21)
d089a06421 (bundle: use OPT_PASSTHRU_ARGV, 2023-07-29)
Check for such options that allow negation in parse_options_check() and
report them to find future cases quicker.

Finding mistakes in and improving your own patches is a good idea,
but doing so too quickly is being inconsiderate to reviewers who
have just seen the initial iteration and taking their time to review
it. Encourage new developers to perform such a self review before
they send out their patches, not after. After sending a patch that
they immediately found mistakes in, they are welcome to comment on
them, mentioning what and how they plan to improve them in an
updated version, before sending out their updates.

While we could technically fix each and every bug on top of the
commit that introduced it, it is not necessarily practical. For
trivial and low-value bugfixes, it often is simpler and sufficient
to just fix it in the current maintenance track, leaving the bug
unfixed in the older maintenance tracks.
Demote the "use older maintenance track to fix old bugs" as a side
note, and explain that the choice is used only in exceptional cases.

The 'next' branch is primarily meant to be a testing ground to make
sure that topics that are reasonably well done work well together.
Building a new work on it would mean everything that was already in
'next' must have graduated to 'master' before the new work can also
be merged to 'master', and that is why we do not encourage basing
new work on 'next'.

Replace all cases of `\s` with ` ` as it is not part of POSIX BRE or ERE
and therefore not all versions of grep handle it.
For the same reason all cases of `\S` are replaced with `[^ ]`. It is
not an exact replacement but it is close enough for this use case.
Also, do not write `\+` in BRE and expect it to mean 1 or more;
it is a GNU extension that may not work everywhere.
Remove `.*` from the end of a pattern that is not right-anchored.

Bugfix for fc01a5d2 (submodule update documentation: don't repeat
ourselves, 2016-12-27).
The `custom command` and `none` options are described as sharing the
same limitations, but one is allowed in .gitmodules and the other is
not.
Rewrite the description for custom commands to be more precise,
and make it easier for readers to notice that custom commands cannot
be used in the .gitmodules file.
