The "tag.pager" configuration variable was useless for those who
actually create tag objects, as it interfered with the use of an
editor. A new mechanism has been introduced for commands to enable
pager depending on what operation is being carried out to fix this,
and then "git tag -l" is made to run pager by default.
If this works out OK, I think there are low-hanging fruits in
other commands like "git branch" that outputs long list in one mode
while taking input in another.

The code to acquire a lock on a reference (e.g. while accepting a

"git rebase", especially when it is run by mistake and ends up

Follow the Oxford style, which says to use "up-to-date" before the noun,
but "up to date" after it. Don't change plumbing (specifically
send-pack.c, but transport.c (git push) also has the same string).
This was produced by grepping for "up-to-date" and "up to date". It
turned out we only had to edit in one direction, removing the hyphens.

The philosophy of reference locking has been, "if another process is
changing a reference, then whatever I'm trying to do to it will
probably fail anyway because my old-SHA-1 value is probably no longer
current". But this argument falls down if the other process has locked
the reference to do something that doesn't actually change the value
of the reference, such as `pack-refs` or `reflog expire`. There
actually *is* a decent chance that a planned reference update will
still be able to go through after the other process has released the
lock.
So when trying to lock an individual reference (e.g., when creating
"refs/heads/master.lock"), if it is already locked, then retry the
lock acquisition for approximately 100 ms before giving up. This
should eliminate some unnecessary lock conflicts without wasting a lot
of time.
Add a configuration setting, `core.filesRefLockTimeout`, to allow this
setting to be tweaked.
Note: the function `get_files_ref_lock_timeout_ms()` cannot be private
to the files backend because it is also used by `write_pseudoref()`
and `delete_pseudoref()`, which are defined in `refs.c` so that they
can be used by other reference backends.

These two configuration variables are described in the documentation
to take an expiry period expressed in the number of days:
gc.rerereResolved::
Records of conflicted merge you resolved earlier are
kept for this many days when 'git rerere gc' is run.
The default is 60 days.
gc.rerereUnresolved::
Records of conflicted merge you have not resolved are
kept for this many days when 'git rerere gc' is run.
The default is 15 days.
There is no strong reason not to allow a more general "approxidate"
expiry specification, e.g. "5.days.ago", or "never".
Rename the config_get_expiry() helper introduced in the previous
step to git_config_get_expiry_in_days() and move it to a more
generic place, config.c, and use date.c::parse_expiry_date() to do
so. Give it an ability to allow the caller to tell among three
cases (i.e. there is no "gc.rerereResolved" config, there is and it
is correctly parsed into the *expiry variable, and there was an
error in parsing the given value). The current caller can work
correctly without using the return value, though.
In the future, we may find other variables that only allow an
integer that specifies "this many days" or other unit of time, and
when it happens we may need to drop "_days" suffix from the name of
the function and instead pass the "scale" value as another parameter.
But this will do for now.

`*` in format strings means peeling of tag objects so that object field
names refer to the object that the tag object points at, instead of the
tag object itself.
Currently, this is documented using grammar that is clearly inspired by
classical latin, though missing more than an article in order to be
classical english.
Try and straighten that explanation out a bit.

Various commands list refs and allow to use a format string for the
output that interpolates from the ref as well as the object it points
at (for-each-ref; branch and tag in list mode).
Currently, the documentation talks about interpolating from the object.
This is confusing because a ref points to an object but not vice versa,
so the object cannot possible know %(refname), for example. Thus, this is
wrong independent of refs being objects (one day, maybe) or not.
Change the wording to make this clearer (and distinguish it from formats
for the log family).

The '--set-upstream' option of branch was deprecated in b347d06b
("branch: deprecate --set-upstream and show help if we detect
possible mistaken use", 2012-08-30) and has been planned for removal
ever since.
In order to prevent "--set-upstream" on a command line from being taken as
an abbreviated form of "--set-upstream-to", explicitly catch "--set-upstream"
option and die, instead of just removing it from the list of options.
Before this change, an attempt to use "--set-upstream" resulted in:
$ git branch
* master
$ git branch --set-upstream origin/master
The --set-upstream flag is deprecated and will be removed. Consider using --track or --set-upstream-to
Branch origin/master set up to track local branch master.
$ echo $?
0
$ git branch
* master
origin/master
With this change, the behaviour becomes like this:
$ git branch
* master
$ git branch --set-upstream origin/master
fatal: the '--set-upstream' option is no longer supported. Please use '--track' or '--set-upstream-to' instead.
$ echo $?
128
$ git branch
* master
