config: make git_{config,parse}_maybe_bool equivalent
Both of these act on a string `value` which they parse as a boolean. The
"parse"-variant was introduced as a replacement for the "config"-variant
which for historical reasons takes an unused argument `name`. That it
was intended as a replacement is not obvious from commit 9a549d43
("config.c: rename git_config_maybe_bool_text and export it as
git_parse_maybe_bool", 2015-08-19), but that is what the background on
the mailing list suggests [1].
However, these two functions do not parse `value` in exactly the same
way. In particular, git_config_maybe_bool accepts integers (0 for false,
non-0 for true). This means there are two slightly different definitions
of "maybe_bool" in the code-base, and that every time a call to
git_config_maybe_bool is changed to use git_parse_maybe_bool, it risks
breaking someone's workflow.
Move the implementation of "config" into "parse" and make the latter a
trivial wrapper.
This also fixes the only user of git_parse_maybe_bool, `git push
--signed=..`.
Commit 9a549d43 ("config.c: rename git_config_maybe_bool_text and export
it as git_parse_maybe_bool", 2015-08-19) intended git_parse_maybe_bool
to be a replacement for git_config_maybe_bool, which could then be
retired. That is not obvious from the commit message, but that is what
the background on the mailing list suggests [1].
However, git_{config,parse}_maybe_bool do not handle all input the same.
Before the rename, that was by design and there is a caller in config.c
which requires git_parse_maybe_bool to behave exactly as it does.
Prepare for the next patch by renaming git_parse_maybe_bool to ..._text
and reimplementing the first one as a simple call to the second one. Let
the existing users in config.c use ..._text, since it does what they
need.
t5334: document that git push --signed=1 does not work
When accepting booleans as command-line or config options throughout
Git, there are several documented synonyms for true and false.
However, one particular user is slightly broken: `git push --signed=..`
does not understand the integer synonyms for true and false.
This is hardly wanted. The --signed option has a different notion of
boolean than all other arguments and config options, including the
config option corresponding to it, push.gpgSign.
Add a test documenting the failure to handle --signed=1.

Doc/git-{push,send-pack}: correct --sign= to --signed=
Since we're about to touch the behavior of --signed=, do this as a
preparatory step.
The documentation mentions --sign=, and it works. But that's just
because it's an unambiguous abbreviation of --signed, which is how it is
actually implemented. This was added in commit 30261094 ("push: support
signing pushes iff the server supports it", 2015-08-19). Back when that
series was developed [1] [2], there were suggestions about both --sign=
and --signed=. The final implementation settled on --signed=, but some
of the documentation and commit messages ended up using --sign=.
The option is referred to as --signed= in Documentation/config.txt
(under push.gpgSign).
One could argue that we have promised --sign for two years now, so we
should implement it as an alias for --signed. (Then we might also
deprecate the latter, something which was considered already then.) That
would be a slightly more intrusive change.
This minor issue would only be a problem once we want to implement some
other option --signfoo, but the earlier we do this step, the better.

The current code wants to record an error condition from
either ferror() or fclose(), but makes sure that we always
call both functions. So it can't use logical-OR "||", which
would short-circuit when ferror() is true. Instead, it uses
bitwise-OR "|" to evaluate both functions and set one or
more bits in the "err" flag if they reported a failure.
Unlike logical-OR, though, bitwise-OR does not introduce a
sequence point, and the order of evaluation for its operands
is unspecified. So a compiler would be free to generate code
which calls fclose() first, and then ferror() on the
now-freed filehandle.
There's no indication that this has happened in practice,
but let's write it out in a way that follows the standard.

When removing the hack for isatty(), we actually removed more than just
an isatty() hack: we removed the hack where internal data structures of
the MSVC runtime are modified in order to redirect stdout/stderr.
Instead of using that hack (that does not work with newer versions of
the runtime, anyway), we replaced it by reopening the respective file
descriptors.
What we forgot was to mark stderr as unbuffered again.

The documentation gives an example of the submodule foreach
command that uses both backticks and single-quotes. We stick
the whole thing inside "+" markers to make it monospace, but
the inside punctuation still needs escaping. We handle the
backticks with "{backtick}", and use backslash-escaping for
the single-quotes.
But we missed the escaping on the second quote. Fortunately,
asciidoc renders this unbalanced quote as we want (showing
the quote), but asciidoctor does not. We could fix it by
adding the missing backslash.
However, let's take a step back. Even when rendered
correctly, it's hard to read a long command stuck into the
middle of a paragraph, and the important punctuation is hard
to notice. Let's instead bump it into its own single-line
code block. That makes both the source and the rendered
result more readable, and as a bonus we don't have to worry
about quoting at all.

ls-files: move only kept cache entries in prune_cache()
prune_cache() first identifies those entries at the start of the sorted
array that can be discarded. Then it moves the rest of the entries up.
Last it identifies the unwanted trailing entries among the moved ones

In a9e38359e3 we taught git-p4 a way to re-encode path names from what
was used in Perforce to UTF-8. This path re-encoding worked properly for
"added" paths. "Removed" paths were not re-encoded and therefore
different from the "added" paths. Consequently, these files were not
removed in a git-p4 cloned Git repository because the path names did not
match.
Fix this by moving the re-encoding to a place that affects "added" and
"removed" paths. Add a test to demonstrate the issue.

push options: pass push options to the transport helper
When using non-builtin protocols relying on a transport helper
(such as http), push options are not propagated to the helper.
The user could ask for push options and a push would seemingly succeed,
but the push options would never be transported to the server,
misleading the users expectation.
Fix this by propagating the push options to the transport helper.
This is only addressing the first issue of
(1) the helper protocol does not propagate push-option
(2) the http helper is not prepared to handle push-option
Once we fix (2), the http transport helper can make use of push options
as well, but that happens as a follow up. (1) is a bug fix, whereas (2)
is a feature, which is why we only do (1) here.

If you run "git log --graph --name-only", the pathnames are
not indented to go along with their matching commits (unlike
all of the other diff formats). We need to output the line
prefix for each item before writing it.
The tests cover both --name-status and --name-only. The
former actually gets this right already, because it builds
on the --raw format functions. It's only --name-only which
uses its own code (and this fix mirrors the code in
diff_flush_raw()).
Note that the tests don't follow our usual style of setting
up the "expect" output inside the test block. This matches
the surrounding style, but more importantly it is easier to
read: we don't have to worry about embedded single-quotes,
and the leading indentation is more obvious.
