2498a1ad0b git-clone.txt: Adjust note to --shared for new pruning behavior of git-gc
Since git-gc now always calls prune, even with --auto, unreferenced objects
may be removed by more operations than just git-gc. This is important for
clones created using --shared or --reference.

5162e69732 Documentation: rename gitlink macro to linkgit
Between AsciiDoc 8.2.2 and 8.2.3, the following change was made to the stock
Asciidoc configuration:

@@ -149,7 +153,10 @@
 # Inline macros.
 # Backslash prefix required for escape processing.
 # (?s) re flag for line spanning.
-(?su)[\\]?(?P<name>\w(\w|-)*?):(?P<target>\S*?)(\[(?P<attrlist>.*?)\])=
+
+# Explicit so they can be nested.
+(?su)[\\]?(?P<name>(http|https|ftp|file|mailto|callto|image|link)):(?P<target>\S*?)(\[(?P<attrlist>.*?)\])=
+
 # Anchor: [[[id]]]. Bibliographic anchor.
 (?su)[\\]?\[\[\[(?P<attrlist>[\w][\w-]*?)\]\]\]=anchor3
 # Anchor: [[id,xreflabel]]

This default regex now matches explicit values, and unfortunately in this
case gitlink was being matched by just 'link', causing the wrong inline
macro template to be applied. By renaming the macro, we can avoid being
matched by the wrong regex.

3d5c418ff5 git-clone: aggressively optimize local clone behaviour.
This changes the behaviour of cloning from a repository on the
local machine, by defaulting to "-l" (use hardlinks to share
files under .git/objects) and making "-l" a no-op.  A new
option, --no-hardlinks, is also added to cause file-level copy
of files under .git/objects while still avoiding the normal
"pack to pipe, then receive and index pack" network transfer
overhead.  The old behaviour of local cloning without -l nor -s
is availble by specifying the source repository with the newly
introduced file:///path/to/repo.git/ syntax (i.e. "same as
network" cloning).

 * With --no-hardlinks (i.e. have all .git/objects/ copied via
   cpio) would not catch the source repository corruption, and
   also risks corrupted recipient repository if an
   alpha-particle hits memory cell while indexing and resolving
   deltas.  As long as the recipient is created uncorrupted, you
   have a good back-up.

 * same-as-network is expensive, but it would catch the breakage
   of the source repository.  It still risks corrupted recipient
   repository due to hardware failure.  As long as the recipient
   is created uncorrupted, you have a good back-up.

 * The new default on the same filesystem, as long as the source
   repository is healthy, it is very likely that the recipient
   would be, too.  Also it is very cheap.  You do not get any
   back-up benefit, though.

None of the method is resilient against the source repository
corruption, so let's discount that from the comparison.  Then
the difference with and without --no-hardlinks matters primarily
if you value the back-up benefit or not.  If you want to use the
cloned repository as a back-up, then it is cheaper to do a clone
with --no-hardlinks and two git-fsck (source before clone,
recipient after clone) than same-as-network clone, especially as
you are likely to do a git-fsck on the recipient if you are so
paranoid anyway.

Which leads me to believe that being able to use file:/// is
probably a good idea, if only for testability, but probably of
little practical value.  We default to hardlinked clone for
everyday use, and paranoids can use --no-hardlinks as a way to
make a back-up.

Split up urls.txt into urls.txt and urls-remotes.txt.  The latter

63085fabbd git-clone: lose the traditional 'no-separate-remote' layout
Finally.

The separate-remote layout is so much more organized than
traditional and easier to work with especially when you need to
deal with remote repositories with multiple branches and/or you
need to deal with more than one remote repositories, and using
traditional layout for new repositories simply does not make
much sense.

Internally we still have code for 1:1 mappings to create a bare
clone; that is a good thing and will not go away.

b360cca0b1 git-clone: Rename --use-immingled-remote option to --no-separate-remote
With making --use-separate-remote default when creating non-bare
clone, there was need for the flag which would turn off this behavior.
It was called --use-immingled-remote.

Immingle means to blend, to combine into one, to intermingle, but it
is a bit obscure word. I think it would be better to use simply
--no-separate-remote as the opposite to --use-separate-remote
option to git clone.

  (2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with
