Introduce usagef() that takes a printf-style format
Some new callers would want to use printf-like formatting, when issuing
their usage messages. An option is to change usage() itself also be like
printf(), which would make it similar to die() and warn().
But usage() is typically fixed, as opposed to die() and warn() that gives
diagnostics depending on the situation. Indeed, the majority of strings
given by existing callsites to usage() are fixed strings. If we were to
make usage() take printf-style format, they all need to be changed to have
"%s" as their first argument.
So instead, introduce usagef() so that limited number of callers can use
it.

Dump usage instead. Humans wanting to pass the URL -h/ to curl for some
reason can use 'git http-push -h/' explicitly. Scripts expecting to
access an HTTP repository at URL '-h' will break, though.
Also delay finding a git directory until after option parsing, so
"http-push -h" can be used outside any git repository.

"unpack-file -h" could be asking to save the contents of a blob
named "-h". Strictly speaking, such a pathological ref name is
possible, but the user would have to had said something like
"tags/-h" to name such a pathological ref already. When used in
scripts, unpack-file is typically not passed a user-supplied tag
name directly.

This only changes the behavior of "git check-ref-format -h"
without any other options and arguments.
This change cannot be breaking backward compatibility, since any
valid refname must contain a /. Most existing scripts use
arguments such as "heads/$foo". If some script checks the
refname "-h" alone, git check-ref-format will still exit with
nonzero status, and the only detrimental side-effect will be a
usage string sent to stderr.

This only changes the behavior of "git show-ref -h" without any
other options and arguments.
"show-ref -h" currently is short for "show-ref --head", which
shows all the refs/* and HEAD, as opposed to "show-ref" that
shows all the refs/* and not HEAD.
Does anybody use "show-ref -h"? It was in Linus's original, most
likely only because "it might be handy", not because "the command
should not show the HEAD by default for such and such reasons".
So I think it is okay if "show-ref -h" (but not "show-ref
--head") gives help and exits.
If a current script uses "git show-ref -h" without any other
arguments, it would have to be adapted by changing "-h" to
"--head".

Treat an "-h" option as a request for help, rather than a "Not a
valid object name" error.
"commit-tree -h" could be asking to create a new commit from a
treeish named "-h". Strictly speaking, such a pathological ref
name is possible, but the user would have to had said something
like "tags/-h" to name such a pathological already. commit-tree
is usually used in scripts with raw object ids, anyway.
For consistency, the "-h" option uses its new meaning even if
followed by other arguments.

Treat an "-h" option as a request for help, rather than an
"Unknown commit -h" error.
"cherry -h" could be asking to compare histories that leads to
our HEAD and a commit that can be named as "-h". Strictly
speaking, that may be a valid refname, but the user would have to
say something like "tags/-h" to name such a pathological ref
already, so it is not such a big deal.
The "-h" option keeps its meaning even if preceded by other
options or followed by other arguments. This keeps the
command-line syntax closer to what parse_options would give and
supports shell aliases like 'alias cherry="git cherry -v"' a
little better.

builtin-commit.c: fix logic to omit empty line before existing footers
"commit -s" used to add an empty line before adding S-o-b line only when
the last line of the existing log message is not another S-o-b line, but c1e01b0 (commit: More generous accepting of RFC-2822 footer lines.,
2009-10-28) introduced logic to omit this empty line when the message ends
with a run of "footer" lines, to cover S-o-b's friends, e.g. Acked-by.
However, the logic was overzealous and missed one corner case. A message
that consists of a single line that begins with Token + colon, it can be
mistaken as a S-o-b's friend. We do want an empty line in such a case.

cmd_ls_remote() was calling transport_get() with a NULL remote and a
non-NULL url in the case where it was run outside a git
repository. This involved a bunch of ill-tested special
cases. Instead, simply get the struct remote for the URL with
remote_get(), which works fine outside a git repository, and can also
take global options into account.
This fixes a tiny and obscure bug where "git ls-remote" without a repo
didn't support global url.*.insteadOf, even though "git clone" and
"git ls-remote" in any repo did.
Also, enforce that all callers provide a struct remote to transport_get().

Although 'git help -a' actually doesn't need to be run inside a git

unnecessary searching for a git directory can be annoying in auto-mount

Do not try to remove directories when removing old links
When building Git with MSVC on Windows, directories named after the Git alias
are created for the output files, e.g. there is a "git-merge-index" directory
next to the "git-merge-index.exe" executable in the build root. Previously,
"make all" just checked if "git-merge-index" and "git-merge-index.exe" are the
same file, and if not, tried to remove "git-merge-index". This fails in the
case of "git-merge-index" being a directory, which is why this is checked now.

unknown revision or path not in the working tree.

fatal: Not a valid object name Please fix this in the file $somefile.

Work around option parsing bug in the busybox tar implementation
The first argument of the tar command is interpreted as a bundle of
letters specifying the mode of operation and additional options, with
any option arguments taken from subsequent words on the command line
as needed. The implementation of tar in busybox treats this bundle
as if preceded by a dash and then parses it by getopt rules, which
mishandles 'tar xfo -'. Use 'tar xof -' instead to work this around.

The docbook/xmlto toolchain insists on quoting ' as \'. This does
achieve the quoting goal, but modern 'man' implementations turn the
apostrophe into a unicode "proper" apostrophe (given the right
circumstances), breaking code examples in many of our manpages.
Quote them as \(aq instead, which is an "apostrophe quote" as per the
groff_char manpage.
Unfortunately, as Anders Kaseorg kindly pointed out, this is not
portable beyond groff, so we add an extra Makefile variable GNU_ROFF
which you need to enable to get the new quoting.
