'git subtree split' lets you specify a rev other than HEAD. 'git push'
lets you specify a mapping between a local thing and a remot ref. So
smash those together, and have 'git subtree push' let you specify which
local thing to run split on and push the result of that split to the
remote ref.

'push' does a 'split' internally, but it doesn't pass flags through to the
'split'. This is silly, if you need to pass flags to 'split', then it
means that you can't use 'push'!
So, have 'push' accept 'split' flags, and pass them through to 'split'.
Add tests for this by copying split's tests with minimal modification.

Besides being a genuinely useful thing to do, this also just makes sense
and harmonizes which flags may be used when. `git subtree split
--rejoin` amounts to "automatically go ahead and do a `git subtree
merge` after doing the main `git subtree split`", so it's weird and
arbitrary that you can't pass `--squash` to `git subtree split --rejoin`
like you can `git subtree merge`. It's weird that `git subtree split
--rejoin` inherits `git subtree merge`'s `--message` but not `--squash`.
Reconcile the situation by just having `split --rejoin` actually just
call `merge` internally (or call `add` instead, as appropriate), so it
can get access to the full `merge` behavior, including `--squash`.

Just went through the docs looking for anything inaccurate or that can
be improved.
In the '-h' text, in the man page synopsis, and in the man page
description: Normalize the ordering of the list of sub-commands: 'add',
'merge', 'split', 'pull', 'push'. This allows us to kinda separate the
lower-level add/merge/split from the higher-level pull/push.
'-h' text:
- correction: Indicate that split's arg is optional.
- clarity: Emphasize that 'pull' takes the 'add'/'merge' flags.
man page:
- correction: State that all subcommands take options (it seemed to
indicate that only 'split' takes any options other than '-P').
- correction: 'split' only guarantees that the results are identical if
the flags are identical.
- correction: The flag is named '--ignore-joins', not '--ignore-join'.
- completeness: Clarify that 'push' always operates on HEAD, and that
'split' operates on HEAD if no local commit is given.
- clarity: In the description, when listing commands, repeat what their
arguments are. This way the reader doesn't need to flip back and
forth between the command description and the synopsis and the full
description to understand what's being said.
- clarity: In the <variables> used to give command arguments, give
slightly longer, descriptive names. Like <local-commit> instead of
just <commit>.
- clarity: Emphasize that 'pull' takes the 'add'/'merge' flags.
- style: In the synopsis, list options before the subcommand. This
makes things line up and be much more readable when shown
non-monospace (such as in `make html`), and also more closely matches
other man pages (like `git-submodule.txt`).
- style: Use the correct syntax for indicating the options ([<options>]
instead of [OPTIONS]).
- style: In the synopsis, separate 'pull' and 'push' from the other
lower-level commands. I think this helps readability.
- style: Code-quote things in prose that seem like they should be
code-quoted, like '.gitmodules', flags, or full commands.
- style: Minor wording improvements, like more consistent mood (many
of the command descriptions start in the imperative mood and switch
to the indicative mode by the end). That sort of thing.
- style: Capitalize "ID".
- style: Remove the "This option is only valid for XXX command" remarks
from each option, and instead rely on the section headings.
- style: Since that line is getting edited anyway, switch "behaviour" to
American "behavior".
- style: Trim trailing whitespace.
`todo`:
- style: Trim trailing whitespace.

The documentation says that --squash is for 'add', 'merge',
'pull' and 'push', while --squash actually doesn't change
the behavior of 'push'. Correct the documentation.

In addition to fixing trivial and obvious typos, be careful about
the following points:
- Spell ASCII, URL and CRC in ALL CAPS;
- Spell Linux as Capitalized;
- Do not omit periods in "i.e." and "e.g.".

When working with a remote repository add/pull/push do not accept a
<refspec> as parameter but just a <ref>. They should accept any
well-formatted ref name.
This patch:
- relaxes the check the <ref> argument in "git subtree add <repo>"
(previous code would not accept a ref name that does not exist
locally too, new code only ensures that the ref is well formatted)
- add the same check in "git subtree pull/push" + check the number of
parameters
- update the doc to use <ref> instead of <refspec>

contrib/subtree updates, but here are only the ones that looked
ready. The remainder of the patches will have another day.
* dg/subtree-fixes:
contrib/subtree: make the manual directory if needed
contrib/subtree: honor DESTDIR
contrib/subtree: fix synopsis
contrib/subtree: better error handling for 'subtree add'
contrib/subtree: use %B for split subject/body
contrib/subtree: remove test number comments
Fix the documentation of add to show that a repository can be
specified along with a commit.
