Sometimes it helps to list all available config vars so the user can
search for something they want. The config man page can also be used
but it's harder to search if you want to focus on the variable name,
for example.
This is not the best way to collect the available config since it's
not precise. Ideally we should have a centralized list of config in C
code (pretty much like 'struct option'), but that's a lot more work.
This will do for now.

This allows us to select any group of commands by a category defined
in command-list.txt. This is an internal/hidden option so we don't
have to be picky about the category name or worried about exposing too
much.
This will be used later by git-completion.bash to retrieve certain
command groups.

The previous commit added code generation for all_cmd_desc[] which
includes almost everything we need to generate common command list.
Convert help code to use that array instead and drop common_cmds[] array.
The description of each common command group is removed from
command-list.txt. This keeps this file format simpler. common-cmds.h
will not be generated correctly after this change due to the
command-list.txt format change. But it does not matter and
common-cmds.h will be removed.

The current generate-cmds.sh generates just enough to print "git help"
output. That is, it only extracts help text for common commands.
The script is now updated to extract help text for all commands and
keep command classification a new file, command-list.h. This will be
useful later:
- "git help -a" could print a short summary of all commands instead of
just the common ones.
- "git" could produce a list of commands of one or more category. One
of its use is to reduce another command classification embedded in
git-completion.bash.
The new file can be generated but is not used anywhere yet. The plan
is we migrate away from common-cmds.h. Then we can kill off
common-cmds.h build rules and generation code (and also delete
duplicate content in command-list.h which we keep for now to not mess
generate-cmds.sh up too much).
PS. The new fixed column requirement on command-list.txt is
technically not needed. But it helps simplify the code a bit at this
stage. We could lift this restriction later if we want to.

Non-determinism makes it harder for build tools to discover when a
target needs to be rebuilt.
generate-cmdlist.sh stores the full path in a comment:

527ec39 (generate-cmdlist: parse common group commands, 2015-05-21)
replaced generate-cmdlist.sh with a more functional Perl version,
generate-cmdlist.perl. The Perl version gleans named tags from a new
"common groups" section in command-list.txt and recognizes those
tags in "command list" section entries in place of the old 'common'
tag. This allows git-help to, not only recognize, but also group
common commands.
Although the tests require Perl, 527ec39 creates an unconditional
dependence upon Perl in the build system itself, which can not be
overridden with NO_PERL. Such a dependency may be undesirable; for
instance, the 'git-lite' package in the FreeBSD ports tree is
intended as a minimal Git installation (which may, for example, be
useful on servers needing only local clone and update capability),
which, historically, has not depended upon Perl[1].
Therefore, revive generate-cmdlist.sh and extend it to recognize
"common groups" and its named tags. Retire generate-cmdlist.perl.

Parse the group block to create the array of group descriptions:
static char *common_cmd_groups[] = {
N_("starting a working area"),
N_("working on the current change"),
N_("working with others"),
N_("examining the history and state"),
N_("growing, marking and tweaking your history"),
};
then map each element of common_cmds[] to a group via its index:
static struct cmdname_help common_cmds[] = {
{"add", N_("Add file contents to the index"), 1},
{"branch", N_("List, create, or delete branches"), 4},
{"checkout", N_("Checkout a branch or paths to the ..."), 4},
{"clone", N_("Clone a repository into a new directory"), 0},
{"commit", N_("Record changes to the repository"), 4},
...
};
so that 'git help' can print those commands grouped by theme.
Only commands tagged with an attribute from the group block are emitted to
common_cmds[].

In a struct definitions, unlike functions, the prevailing style is for
the opening brace to go on the same line as the struct name, like so:
struct foo {
int bar;
char *baz;
};
Indeed, grepping for 'struct [a-z_]* {$' yields about 5 times as many
matches as 'struct [a-z_]*$'.

In "common" man pages there is luckily no "NAME" anywhere except at
beginning of documents. If there is another "NAME", sed could
mis-select it and lead to common-cmds.h corruption. So better nail it
at beginning of line, which would reduce corruption chance.

The categorized list of commands in git(7) and the list of common
commands in "git help" output were maintained separately, which was
insane. This consolidates them to a single command-list.txt file.

git-archive is a command to make TAR and ZIP archives of a git tree.
It helps prevent a proliferation of git-{format}-tree commands.
Instead of directly calling git-{tar,zip}-tree command, it defines
a very simple API, that archiver should implement and register in
"git-archive.c". This API is made up by 2 functions whose prototype
is defined in "archive.h" file.
- The first one is used to parse 'extra' parameters which have
signification only for the specific archiver. That would allow
different archive backends to have different kind of options.
- The second one is used to ask to an archive backend to build
the archive given some already resolved parameters.
The main reason for making this API is to avoid using
git-{tar,zip}-tree commands, hence making them useless. Maybe it's
time for them to die ?
It also implements remote operations by defining a very simple
protocol: it first sends the name of the specific uploader followed
the repository name (git-upload-tar git://example.org/repo.git).
Then it sends options. It's done by sending a sequence of one
argument per packet, with prefix "argument ", followed by a flush.
The remote protocol is implemented in "git-archive.c" for client
side and is triggered by "--remote=<repo>" option. For example,
to fetch a TAR archive in a remote repo, you can issue:
$ git archive --format=tar --remote=git://xxx/yyy/zzz.git HEAD
We choose to not make a new command "git-fetch-archive" for example,
avoind one more GIT command which should be nice for users (less
commands to remember, keeps existing --remote option).
