Currently GNU make already removes files when catching an interruption
signal, however, in order to deal with other kinds of errors a
workaround is in place to store target output to a temporary file, and
only move it to its right place on success.
By enabling the built-in .DELETE_ON_ERROR we let make do this task, so
we don't have to.
This way the rules can be simplified a lot.

Another brown paper bag inconsistency fix for a new feature
introduced during this cycle.
* dl/stash-show-untracked-fixup:
stash show: use stash.showIncludeUntracked even when diff options given
If options pertaining to how the diff is displayed is provided to
`git stash show`, the command will ignore the stash.showIncludeUntracked
configuration variable, defaulting to not showing any untracked files.
This is unintuitive behaviour since the format of the diff output and
whether or not to display untracked files are orthogonal.
Use stash.showIncludeUntracked even when diff options are given. Of
course, this is still overridable via the command-line options.
Update the documentation to explicitly say which configuration variables
will be overridden when a diff options are given.

Fix long standing inconsistency between -c/--cc that do imply -p on
one side, and -m that did not imply -p on the other side.
Change corresponding test accordingly, as "log -m" output should now
match one from "log -m -p", rather than from just "log".
Change documentation accordingly.
NOTES:
After this patch
git log -m
produces diffs without need to provide -p as well, that improves both
consistency and usability. It gets even more useful if one sets
"log.diffMerges" configuration variable to "first-parent" to force -m
produce usual diff with respect to first parent only.
This patch, however, does not change behavior when specific diff
format is explicitly provided on the command-line, so that commands
like
git log -m --raw
git log -m --stat
are not affected, nor does it change commands where specific diff
format is active by default, such as:
git diff-tree -m
It's also worth to be noticed that exact historical semantics of -m is
still provided by --diff-merges=separate.

We will soon be adding an optimization that caches (in memory only,
never written to disk) upstream renames during a sequence of merges such
as occurs during a cherry-pick or rebase operation. Add several tests
meant to stress such an implementation to ensure it does the right
thing, and include a test whose outcome we will later change due to this
optimization as well.

Remembering renames on the upstream side of history in an early merge of
a rebase or cherry-pick for re-use in a latter merge of the same
operation makes pretty good intuitive sense. However, trying to show
that it doesn't cause some subtle behavioral difference or some funny
edge or corner case is much more involved. And, in fact, it does
introduce a subtle behavioral change.
Document all the assumptions, special cases, and logic involved in such
an optimization, and describe why this optimization is safe under the
current optimizations/features/etc. -- even when the subtle behavioral
change is triggered.
Part of the point of adding this document that goes over the
optimization in such laborious detail, is that it is possible that
significant future changes (optimizations or feature changes) could
interact with this optimization in interesting ways; this document is
here to help folks making big changes sanity check that the assumptions
and arguments underlying this optimization are still valid. (As a side
note, creating this document forced me to review things in sufficient
detail that I found I was not properly caching directory-rename-induced
renames, resulting in the code not being aware of those renames and
causing unnecessary diffcore_rename_extended() calls in subsequent
merges.)
A subsequent commit will add several testcases based on this document
meant to stress-test the implementation and also document the case with
the subtle behavioral change.

The current documentation for color.pager is technically correct, but
slightly misleading and doesn't really clarify the purpose of the
variable. As explained in the original thread which added it:
https://lore.kernel.org/git/E1G6zPH-00062L-Je@moooo.ath.cx/
the point is to deal with pagers that don't understand colors. And hence it
being set to "true" is necessary for colorizing output to the pager, but
not sufficient by itself (you must also have enabled one of the other
color options, though note that these are set to "auto" by default these
days).

The sendemail.smtpServer configuration option and --smtp-server command
line option both support using a sendmail-like program to send emails by
specifying an absolute file path. However, this is not ideal for the
following reasons:
1. It overloads the meaning of smtpServer (now a program is being used
for the server?)
2. It doesn't allow for non-absolute paths, arguments, or arbitrary
scripting
Requiring an absolute path is bad for portability, as the same program
may be in different locations on different systems. If a user wishes to
pass arguments to their program, they have to use the smtpServerOption
option, which is cumbersome (as it must be repeated for each option) and
doesn't adhere to normal git conventions.
Introduce a new configuration option sendemail.sendmailCmd as well as a
command line option --sendmail-cmd that can be used to specify a command
(with or without arguments) or shell expression to run to send email.
The name of this option is consistent with --to-cmd and --cc-cmd. This
invocation honors the user's $PATH so that absolute paths are not
necessary. Arbitrary shell expressions are also supported, allowing
users to do basic scripting.
Give this option a higher precedence over --smtp-server and
sendemail.smtpServer, as the new interface is more flexible. For
backward compatibility, continue to support absolute paths in
--smtp-server and sendemail.smtpServer.

they know that it happens most of the time, and they find it's desirable

Those projects in question usually fall back to use other tools to handle
