The previous commit fixed a failure in 'git subtree merge --squash' when
the previous squash-merge merged an annotated tag of the subtree
repository which is missing locally.
The same failure happens in 'git subtree split', either directly or when
called by 'git subtree push', under the same circumstances: 'cmd_split'
invokes 'find_existing_splits', which loops through previous commits and
invokes 'git rev-parse' (via 'process_subtree_split_trailer') on the
value of any 'git subtree-split' trailer it finds. This fails if this
value is the hash of an annotated tag which is missing locally.
Add a new optional argument 'repository' to 'cmd_split' and
'find_existing_splits', and invoke 'cmd_split' with that argument from
'cmd_push'. This allows 'process_subtree_split_trailer' to try to fetch
the missing tag from the 'repository' if it's not available locally,
mirroring the new behaviour of 'git subtree pull' and 'git subtree
merge'.

When 'git subtree merge --squash $ref' is invoked, either directly or
through 'git subtree pull --squash $repo $ref', the code looks for the
latest squash merge of the subtree in order to create the new merge
commit as a child of the previous squash merge.
This search is done in function 'process_subtree_split_trailer', invoked
by 'find_latest_squash', which looks for the most recent commit with a
'git-subtree-split' trailer; that trailer's value is the object name in
the subtree repository of the ref that was last squash-merged. The
function verifies that this object is present locally with 'git
rev-parse', and aborts if it's not.
The hash referenced by the 'git-subtree-split' trailer is guaranteed to
correspond to a commit since it is the result of running 'git rev-parse
-q --verify "$1^{commit}"' on the first argument of 'cmd_merge' (this
corresponds to 'rev' in 'cmd_merge' which is passed through to
'new_squash_commit' and 'squash_msg').
But this is only the case since e4f8baa88a (subtree: parse revs in
individual cmd_ functions, 2021-04-27), which went into Git 2.32. Before
that commit, 'cmd_merge' verified the revision it was given using 'git
rev-parse --revs-only "$@"'. Such an invocation, when fed the name of an
annotated tag, would return the hash of the tag, not of the commit
referenced by the tag.
This leads to a failure in 'find_latest_squash' when squash-merging if
the most recent squash-merge merged an annotated tag of the subtree
repository, using a pre-2.32 version of 'git subtree', unless that
previous annotated tag is present locally (which is not usually the
case).
We can fix this by fetching the object directly by its hash in
'process_subtree_split_trailer' when 'git rev-parse' fails, but in order
to do so we need to know the name or URL of the subtree repository.
This is not possible in general for 'git subtree merge', but is easy
when it is invoked through 'git subtree pull' since in that case the
subtree repository is passed by the user at the command line.
Allow the 'git subtree pull' scenario to work out-of-the-box by adding
an optional 'repository' argument to functions 'cmd_merge',
'find_latest_squash' and 'process_subtree_split_trailer', and invoke
'cmd_merge' with that 'repository' argument in 'cmd_pull'.
If 'repository' is absent in 'process_subtree_split_trailer', instruct
the user to try fetching the missing object directly.

'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.

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>
