Clarify the default length used for the abbreviated form used for
commits in git describe.
The behavior was modified in Git 2.11.0, but the documentation was not
updated to clarify the new behavior.

"git format-patch" learns to take "whenAble" as a possible value
for the format.useAutoBase configuration variable to become no-op
when the automatically computed base does not make sense.
* jk/format-auto-base-when-able:
format-patch: teach format.useAutoBase "whenAble" option
"git archive" learns the "--add-file" option to include untracked
files into a snapshot from a tree-ish.
* rs/archive-add-file:
Makefile: use git-archive --add-file
archive: add --add-file
archive: read short blobs in archive.c::write_archive_entry()
`git ls-files` was never taught to respect the `submodule.recurse`
configuration variable, and it is too late now to change that [1],
but still the command is mentioned in 'gitsubmodules(7)' as if it
does respect that config.
Adjust the call in 'gitsubmodules(7)' by calling 'ls-files' with the
'--recurse-submodules' option.
While at it, uniformize the capitalization in that file, and use
backticks instead of quotes for Git commands and configuration
variables.

"git shortlog" has been taught to group commits by the contents of
the trailer lines, like "Reviewed-by:", "Coauthored-by:", etc.
* jk/shortlog-group-by-trailer:
shortlog: allow multiple groups to be specified
shortlog: parse trailer idents
shortlog: rename parse_stdin_ident()
shortlog: de-duplicate trailer values
shortlog: match commit trailers with --group
trailer: add interface for iterating over commit trailers
shortlog: add grouping option
shortlog: change "author" variables to "ident"
The format.useAutoBase configuration option exists to allow users to
enable '--base=auto' for format-patch by default.
This can sometimes lead to poor workflow, due to unexpected failures
when attempting to format an ancient patch:
$ git format-patch -1 <an old commit>
fatal: base commit shouldn't be in revision list
This can be very confusing, as it is not necessarily immediately obvious
that the user requested a --base (since this was in the configuration,
not on the command line).
We do want --base=auto to fail when it cannot provide a suitable base,
as it would be equally confusing if a formatted patch did not include
the base information when it was requested.
Teach format.useAutoBase a new mode, "whenAble". This mode will cause
format-patch to attempt to include a base commit when it can. However,
if no valid base commit can be found, then format-patch will continue
formatting the patch without a base commit.
In order to avoid making yet another branch name unusable with --base,
do not teach --base=whenAble or --base=whenable.
Instead, refactor the base_commit option to use a callback, and rely on
the global configuration variable auto_base.
This does mean that a user cannot request this optional base commit
generation from the command line. However, this is likely not too
valuable. If the user requests base information manually, they will be
immediately informed of the failure to acquire a suitable base commit.
This allows the user to make an informed choice about whether to
continue the format.
Add tests to cover the new mode of operation for --base.

Both fetch and push support pattern refspecs which allow fetching or
pushing references that match a specific pattern. Because these patterns
are globs, they have somewhat limited ability to express more complex
situations.
For example, suppose you wish to fetch all branches from a remote except
for a specific one. To allow this, you must setup a set of refspecs
which match only the branches you want. Because refspecs are either
explicit name matches, or simple globs, many patterns cannot be
expressed.
Add support for a new type of refspec, referred to as "negative"
refspecs. These are prefixed with a '^' and mean "exclude any ref
matching this refspec". They can only have one "side" which always
refers to the source. During a fetch, this refers to the name of the ref
on the remote. During a push, this refers to the name of the ref on the
local side.
With negative refspecs, users can express more complex patterns. For
example:
git fetch origin refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* ^refs/heads/dontwant
will fetch all branches on origin into remotes/origin, but will exclude
fetching the branch named dontwant.
Refspecs today are commutative, meaning that order doesn't expressly
matter. Rather than forcing an implied order, negative refspecs will
always be applied last. That is, in order to match, a ref must match at
least one positive refspec, and match none of the negative refspecs.
This is similar to how negative pathspecs work.
