The following part of the description:
git bisect (bad|new) [<rev>]
git bisect (good|old) [<rev>...]
may be a bit confusing, as a reader may wonder if instead it should be:
git bisect (bad|good) [<rev>]
git bisect (old|new) [<rev>...]
Of course the difference between "[<rev>]" and "[<rev>...]" should hint
that there is a good reason for the way it is.
But we can further clarify and complete the description by adding
"<term-new>" and "<term-old>" to the "bad|new" and "good|old"
alternatives.

In the submodule helper we did not correctly handled the display path
for initializing submodules when both the submodule is inside a
subdirectory as well as the command being invoked from a subdirectory
(as viewed from the superproject).
This was broken in 3604242f080, which was written at a time where
there was no super-prefix available, so we abused the --prefix option
for the same purpose and could get only one case right (the call from
within a subdirectory, not the submodule being in a subdirectory).

The 'versionsort.prereleaseSuffix' configuration variable, as its name
suggests, is supposed to only deal with tagnames with prerelease
suffixes, and allows sorting those prerelease tags in a user-defined
order before the suffixless main release tag, instead of sorting them
simply lexicographically.
However, the previous changes in this series resulted in an
interesting and useful property of version sort:
- The empty string as a configured suffix matches all tagnames,
including tagnames without any suffix, but
- tagnames containing a "real" configured suffix are still ordered
according to that real suffix, because any longer suffix takes
precedence over the empty string.
Exploiting this property we can easily generalize suffix reordering
and specify the order of tags with given suffixes not only before but
even after a main release tag by using the empty suffix to denote the
position of the main release tag, without any algorithm changes:
$ git -c versionsort.prereleaseSuffix=-alpha \
-c versionsort.prereleaseSuffix=-beta \
-c versionsort.prereleaseSuffix="" \
-c versionsort.prereleaseSuffix=-gamma \
-c versionsort.prereleaseSuffix=-delta \
tag -l --sort=version:refname 'v3.0*'
v3.0-alpha1
v3.0-beta1
v3.0
v3.0-gamma1
v3.0-delta1
Since 'versionsort.prereleaseSuffix' is not a fitting name for a
configuration variable to control this more general suffix reordering,
introduce the new variable 'versionsort.suffix'. Still keep the old
configuration variable name as a deprecated alias, though, to avoid
suddenly breaking setups already using it. Ignore the old variable if
both old and new configuration variables are set, but emit a warning
so users will be aware of it and can fix their configuration. Extend
the documentation to describe and add a test to check this more
general behavior.
Note: since the empty suffix matches all tagnames, tagnames with
suffixes not included in the configuration are listed together with
the suffixless main release tag, ordered lexicographically right after
that, i.e. before tags with suffixes listed in the configuration
following the empty suffix.

Our error() and die() calls may report messages with
arbitrary data (e.g., filenames or even data from a remote
server). Let's make it harder to cause confusion with
mischievous filenames. E.g., try:
git rev-parse "$(printf "\rfatal: this argument is too sneaky")" --
or
git rev-parse "$(printf "\x1b[5mblinky\x1b[0m")" --
Let's block all ASCII control characters, with the exception
of TAB and LF. We use both in our own messages (and we are
necessarily sanitizing the complete output of snprintf here,
as we do not have access to the individual varargs). And TAB
and LF are unlikely to cause confusion (you could put
"\nfatal: sneaky\n" in your filename, but it would at least
not _cover up_ the message leading to it, unlike "\r").
We'll replace the characters with a "?", which is similar to
how "ls" behaves. It might be nice to do something less
lossy, like converting them to "\x" hex codes. But replacing
with a single character makes it easy to do in-place and
without worrying about length limitations. This feature
should kick in rarely enough that the "?" marks are almost
never seen.
We'll leave high-bit characters as-is, as they are likely to
be UTF-8 (though there may be some Unicode mischief you
could cause, which may require further patches).

This reverts commit f4c3edc0b156362a92bf9de4f0ec794e90a757fc.
The purpose of that commit was to let us write errors of
arbitrary length to stderr by skipping the intermediate
buffer and sending our varargs straight to fprintf. That
works, but it comes with a downside: we do not get access to
the varargs before they are sent to stderr.
On balance, it's not a good tradeoff. Error messages larger
than our 4K buffer are quite uncommon, and we've lost the
ability to make any modifications to the output (e.g., to
remove non-printable characters).
The only way to have both would be one of:
1. Write into a dynamic buffer. But this is a bad idea for
a low-level function that may be called when malloc()
has failed.
2. Do our own printf-format varargs parsing. This is too
complex to be worth the trouble.
Let's just revert that change and go back to a fixed buffer.

A few of the tests want to check that "git grep -P -E" will
override -P with -E, and vice versa. To do so, we use a
regex with "\x{..}", which is valid in PCRE but not defined
by POSIX (for basic or extended regular expressions).
However, POSIX declares quite a lot of syntax, including
"\x", as "undefined". That leaves implementations free to
extend the standard if they choose. At least one, musl libc,
implements "\x" in the same way as PCRE. Our tests check
that "-E" complains about "\x", which fails with musl.
We can fix this by finding some construct which behaves
reliably on both PCRE and POSIX, but differently in each
system.
One such construct is the use of backslash inside brackets.
In PCRE, "[\d]" interprets "\d" as it would outside the
brackets, matching a digit. Whereas in POSIX, the backslash
must be treated literally, and we match either it or a
literal "d". Moreover, implementations are not free to
change this according to POSIX, so we should be able to rely
on it.

"git mergetool" (without any pathspec on the command line) that is

command are relative to the top-level directory but the 'git diff

to the current working directory. To make everything consistent,
cd_to_toplevel before running 'git diff --name-only' and adjust any

Every once in a while someone complains to the mailing list to have
run into this weird assertion[1]. The usual response from the mailing
list is link to old discussions[2], and acknowledging the problem
stating it is known.
This patch accomplishes two things:
1. Switch assert() to die("BUG") to give a more readable message.
2. Take one of the cases where we hit a BUG and turn it into a normal
"there was something wrong with the input" message.
This assertion triggered for cases where there wasn't a programming
bug, but just bogus input. In particular, if the user asks for a
pathspec that is inside a submodule, we shouldn't assert() or
die("BUG"); we should tell the user their request is bogus.
The only reason we did not check for it, is the expensive nature
of such a check, so callers avoid setting the flag
PATHSPEC_STRIP_SUBMODULE_SLASH_EXPENSIVE. However when we die due
to bogus input, the expense of CPU cycles spent outweighs the user
wondering what went wrong, so run that check unconditionally before
dying with a more generic error message.
Note: There is a case (e.g. "git -C submodule add .") in which we call
strip_submodule_slash_expensive, as git-add requests it via the flag
PATHSPEC_STRIP_SUBMODULE_SLASH_EXPENSIVE, but the assert used to
trigger nevertheless, because the flag PATHSPEC_LITERAL was not set,
such that we executed
if (item->nowildcard_len < prefixlen)
item->nowildcard_len = prefixlen;
and prefixlen was not adapted (e.g. it was computed from "submodule/")
So in the die_inside_submodule_path function we also need handle paths,
that were stripped before, i.e. are the exact submodule path. This
is why the conditions in die_inside_submodule_path are slightly
different than in strip_submodule_slash_expensive.
