Commit 23af91d (prune: strategies for linked checkouts - 2014-11-30)
adds "--worktrees" to "git prune" without realizing that "git prune" is
for object database only. This patch moves the same functionality to a
new command "git worktree".

(alias R=$GIT_COMMON_DIR/worktrees/<id>)
- linked checkouts are supposed to keep its location in $R/gitdir up
to date. The use case is auto fixup after a manual checkout move.
- linked checkouts are supposed to update mtime of $R/gitdir. If
$R/gitdir's mtime is older than a limit, and it points to nowhere,
worktrees/<id> is to be pruned.
- If $R/locked exists, worktrees/<id> is not supposed to be pruned. If
$R/locked exists and $R/gitdir's mtime is older than a really long
limit, warn about old unused repo.
- "git checkout --to" is supposed to make a hard link named $R/link
pointing to the .git file on supported file systems to help detect
the user manually deleting the checkout. If $R/link exists and its
link count is greated than 1, the repo is kept.

This patch teaches "prune" to remove shallow roots that are no longer

The SYNOPSIS sections of most commands that span several lines already
use [verse] to retain line breaks. Most commands that don't span
several lines seem not to use [verse]. In the HTML output, [verse]
does not only preserve line breaks, but also makes the section
indented, which causes a slight inconsistency between commands that
use [verse] and those that don't. Use [verse] in all SYNOPSIS sections
for consistency.
Also remove the blank lines from git-fetch.txt and git-rebase.txt to
align with the other man pages. In the case of git-rebase.txt, which
already uses [verse], the blank line makes the [verse] not apply to
the last line, so removing the blank line also makes the formatting
within the document more consistent.
While at it, add single quotes to 'git cvsimport' for consistency with
other commands.

The point of these sections is generally to:
1. Give credit where it is due.
2. Give the reader an idea of where to ask questions or
file bug reports.
But they don't do a good job of either case. For (1), they
are out of date and incomplete. A much more accurate answer
can be gotten through shortlog or blame. For (2), the
correct contact point is generally git@vger, and even if you
wanted to cc the contact point, the out-of-date and
incomplete fields mean you're likely sending to somebody
useless.
So let's drop the fields entirely from all manpages except
git(1) itself. We already point people to the mailing list
for bug reports there, and we can update the Authors section
to give credit to the major contributors and point to
shortlog and blame for more information.
Each page has a "This is part of git" footer, so people can
follow that to the main git manpage.
For consistency with other git commands, let git prune accept the long
options --dry-run and --verbose for the respective short ones -n and -v.

It is misleading to say that we pull refs from $GIT_DIR/refs/*, because we
may also consult the packed refs mechanism. These days we tend to treat
the "refs hierarchy" as more of an abstract namespace that happens to be
represented as $GIT_DIR/refs. At best, this is a minor inaccuracy, but at
worst it can confuse users who then look in $GIT_DIR/refs and find that it
is missing some of the refs they expected to see.
This patch drops most uses of "$GIT_DIR/refs/*", changing them into just
"refs/*", under the assumption that users can handle the concept of an
abstract refs namespace. There are a few things to note:
- most cases just dropped the $GIT_DIR/ portion. But for cases where
that left _just_ the word "refs", I changed it to "refs/" to help
indicate that it was a hierarchy. I didn't do the same for longer
paths (e.g., "refs/heads" remained, instead of becoming
"refs/heads/").
- in some cases, no change was made, as the text was explicitly about
unpacked refs (e.g., the discussion in git-pack-refs).
- In some cases it made sense instead to note the existence of packed
refs (e.g., in check-ref-format and rev-parse).

The documentation was quite inconsistent when spelling 'git cmd' if it
only refers to the program, not to some specific invocation syntax:
both 'git-cmd' and 'git cmd' spellings exist.
The current trend goes towards dashless forms, and there is precedent
in 647ac70 (git-svn.txt: stop using dash-form of commands.,
2009-07-07) to actively eliminate the dashed variants.
Replace 'git-cmd' with 'git cmd' throughout, except where git-shell,
git-cvsserver, git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack, and
git-upload-archive are concerned, because those really live in the
$PATH.
This adds an option "-v" which makes "git prune" more verbose:
It outputs all removed objects while removing them.

as is usual for command names in manpages.

Following what appears to be the predominant style, format
names of commands and commandlines both as `teletype text`.
While we're at it, add articles ("a" and "the") in some
places, italicize the name of the command in the manual page
synopsis line, and add a comma or two where it seems appropriate.

Since the git-* commands are not installed in $(bindir), using
"git-command <parameters>" in examples in the documentation is
not a good idea. On the other hand, it is nice to be able to
refer to each command using one hyphenated word. (There is no
escaping it, anyway: man page names cannot have spaces in them.)
This patch retains the dash in naming an operation, command,
program, process, or action. Complete command lines that can
be entered at a shell (i.e., without options omitted) are
made to use the dashless form.
The changes consist only of replacing some spaces with hyphens
and vice versa. After a "s/ /-/g", the unpatched and patched
versions are identical.

The OPTIONS section of a documentation file contains a list
of the options a git command accepts.
Currently there are several variants to describe the case that
different options (almost) do the same in the OPTIONS section.
Some are:
-f, --foo::
-f|--foo::
-f | --foo::
But AsciiDoc has the special form:
-f::
--foo::
This patch applies this form to the documentation of the whole git suite,
and removes useless em-dash prevention, so \--foo becomes --foo.

Most users should be using git-gc instead of directly
calling prune. For those who really do want more information
on pruning, let's point them at git-fsck, which goes into
slightly more detail on reachability.
And since we're pointing users there, let's make sure
reflogs are mentioned in git-fsck(1).

Earlier, 'git prune' would prune all loose unreachable objects.
This could be quite dangerous, as the objects could be used in
an ongoing operation.
This patch adds a mode to expire only loose, unreachable objects
which are older than a certain time. For example, by
git prune --expire 14.days
you can prune only those objects which are loose, unreachable
and older than 14 days (and thus probably outdated).
The implementation uses st.st_mtime rather than st.st_ctime,
because it can be tested better, using 'touch -d <time>' (and
omitting the test when the platform does not support that
command line switch).

This reverts commit 9b088c4e39.
Protecting 'mature' objects does not make it any safer. We should
admit that git-prune is inherently unsafe when run in parallel with
other operations without involving unwarranted locking overhead,
and with the latest git, even rebase and reset would not immediately
create crufts anyway.
This option gives grace period to objects that are unreachable
from the refs from getting pruned.
The default value is 24 hours and may be changed using
gc.prunegrace.

Explicit <head> arguments to git-prune replaces, instead of
extends, the list of heads used for reachability analysis by
fsck-objects. By giving a subset of heads by mistake, objects
reachable only from other heads can be removed, resulting in a
corrupted repository.
This commit stops replacing the list of heads, and makes the
command line arguments to add to them instead for safety.

As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch. The primary differences
since 0.99.6 are:
(1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not
have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if
something is implemented as a shell script or not.
(2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with
'index' if that is what they mean.
There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and
Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward
compatibility support is expected to be removed in the near
future.
