Elijah Newren 94b7f1563a Comment important codepaths regarding nuking untracked files/dirs
In the last few commits we focused on code in unpack-trees.c that
mistakenly removed untracked files or directories.  There may be more of
those, but in this commit we change our focus: callers of toplevel
commands that are expected to remove untracked files or directories.

As noted previously, we have toplevel commands that are expected to
delete untracked files such as 'read-tree --reset', 'reset --hard', and
'checkout --force'.  However, that does not mean that other highlevel
commands that happen to call these other commands thought about or
conveyed to users the possibility that untracked files could be removed.
Audit the code for such callsites, and add comments near existing
callsites to mention whether these are safe or not.

My auditing is somewhat incomplete, though; it skipped several cases:
  * git-rebase--preserve-merges.sh: is in the process of being
    deprecated/removed, so I won't leave a note that there are
    likely more bugs in that script.
  * contrib/git-new-workdir: why is the -f flag being used in a new
    empty directory??  It shouldn't hurt, but it seems useless.
  * git-p4.py: Don't see why -f is needed for a new dir (maybe it's
    not and is just superfluous), but I'm not at all familiar with
    the p4 stuff
  * git-archimport.perl: Don't care; arch is long since dead
  * git-cvs*.perl: Don't care; cvs is long since dead

Also, the reset --hard in builtin/worktree.c looks safe, due to only
running in an empty directory.

Raman Gupta ad53bf79aa contrib/rerere-train: optionally overwrite existing resolutions
Provide the user an option to overwrite existing resolutions using an
`--overwrite` flag. This might be used, for example, if the user knows
that they already have an entry in their rerere cache for a conflict,
but wish to drop it and retrain based on the merge commit(s) passed to
the rerere-train script.

Daniel Knittl-Frank 4573a68e9b Escape Git's exec path in contrib/rerere-train.sh script
Whitespace can cause the source command to fail. This is usually not a
problem on Unix systems, but on Windows Git is likely to be installed
under "C:/Program Files/", thus rendering the script broken.

Junio C Hamano 53876fcf3f contrib/rerere-train: use installed git-sh-setup
Instead of sourcing git-sh-setup from random place that is on the $PATH,
explicitly source $(git --exec-path)/git-sh-setup.  As I do not personally
have any libexec/git-core directory on my $PATH like many other people, the
script will fail without this update.

Nanako Shiraishi c11c7a5db3 Add contrib/rerere-train script
This script takes a range of commits (e.g. maint..next) as its arguments,
recreates merge commits in the range to prime rr-cache database.
