config tests: fix harmless but broken "rm -r" cleanup
The "test_when_finished" cleanup phase added in 4179b4897f2 (config:

never worked as intended, firstly the ".config/git" is a directory, so

We'd thus end up trying to remove the "trash" part of "trash

non-existing files.
It's possible that this would have caused an actual failure if someone

fail to remove an existing directory, but in practice that probably
never happened.

git-rebase.txt: use back-ticks consistently
While inspecting the 'git rebase' documentation, I noticed that it is
inconsistent with how it uses back-ticks (or other punctuation) for
identifying Git commands, command-line arguments, or values for those
arguments.
Sometimes, an argument (like '--interactive') would appear without any
punctuation, causing the argument to not have any special formatting.
Other times, arguments or 'git rebase' itself would have single-quotes
giving a bold look (in the HTML documentation at least).
By consistently using back-ticks, these types of strings appear in a
monospace font with special highlighting to appear more clearly as text
that exists in a command-line invocation of a Git command.
This rather-large diff is the result of scanning git-rebase.txt and
adding back-ticks as appropriate. Some are adding back-ticks where there
was no punctuation. Others are replacing single quotes.
There are also a few minor cleanups in the process, including those
found by reviewers.

pack-objects.h: remove outdated pahole results
The size and padding of `struct object_entry` is an important factor in
determining the memory usage of `pack-objects`. For this reason, 3b13a5f263 (pack-objects: reorder members to shrink struct object_entry,
2018-04-14) added a comment containing some information from pahole
indicating the size and padding of that struct.
Unfortunately, this comment hasn't been updated since 9ac3f0e5b3
(pack-objects: fix performance issues on packing large deltas,
2018-07-22), despite the size of this struct changing many times since
that commit.
To see just how often the size of object_entry changes, I skimmed the
first-parent history with this script:
for sha in $(git rev-list --first-parent --reverse 9ac3f0e..)
do
echo -n "$sha "
git checkout -q $sha
make -s pack-objects.o 2>/dev/null
pahole -C object_entry pack-objects.o | sed -n \
-e 's/\/\* size: \([0-9]*\).*/size \1/p' \
-e 's/\/\*.*padding: \([0-9]*\).*/padding \1/p' | xargs
done | uniq -f1
In between each merge, the size of object_entry changes too often to
record every instance here. But the important merges (along with their
corresponding sizes and bit paddings) in chronological order are:
(indicating that the current size of the struct is 96 bytes, with 8
padding bits).
Even though this comment was written in a good spirit, it is updated
infrequently enough that it serves to confuse rather than to encourage
contributors to update the appropriate values when the modify the
definition of object_entry.
For that reason, eliminate the confusion by removing the comment
altogether.

vscode: improve tab size and wrapping
The contrib/vscode/init.sh script initializes the .vscode directory with
some helpful metadata so VS Code handles Git code better.
One big issue that VS Code has is detecting the tab width based on file
type. ".txt" files were not covered by this script before, so add them
with the appropriate tab widths. This prevents inserting spaces instead
of tabs and keeps the tab width to eight instead of four or two.
While we are here, remove the "editor.wordWrap" settings. The editor's
word wrap is only cosmetic: it does not actually insert newlines when
your typing goes over the column limit. This can make it appear like you
have properly wrapped code, but it is incorrect. Further, existing code
that is over the column limit is wrapped even if your editor window is
wider than the limit. This can make reading such code more difficult.
Without these lines, VS Code renders the lines accurately, without
"ghost" newlines.

setup: tighten ownership checks post CVE-2022-24765
8959555cee7 (setup_git_directory(): add an owner check for the top-level
directory, 2022-03-02), adds a function to check for ownership of
repositories using a directory that is representative of it, and ways to
add exempt a specific repository from said check if needed, but that
check didn't account for owership of the gitdir, or (when used) the
gitfile that points to that gitdir.
An attacker could create a git repository in a directory that they can
write into but that is owned by the victim to work around the fix that
was introduced with CVE-2022-24765 to potentially run code as the
victim.
An example that could result in privilege escalation to root in *NIX would
be to set a repository in a shared tmp directory by doing (for example):
$ git -C /tmp init
To avoid that, extend the ensure_valid_ownership function to be able to
check for all three paths.
This will have the side effect of tripling the number of stat() calls
when a repository is detected, but the effect is expected to be likely
minimal, as it is done only once during the directory walk in which Git
looks for a repository.
Additionally make sure to resolve the gitfile (if one was used) to find
the relevant gitdir for checking.
While at it change the message printed on failure so it is clear we are
referring to the repository by its worktree (or gitdir if it is bare) and
not to a specific directory.

revisions.txt: escape "..." to avoid asciidoc horizontal ellipsis
In asciidoc's HTML output of the "gitrevisions" and "git-rev-parse"
documentation, the header:
The ... (three-dot) Symmetric Difference Notation

ugly, but also hard to search for or cut-and-paste. We really mean three
ascii dots (0x2e) here, so let's make sure it renders as such.
The simplest way to do that is just escaping the leading dot, as the
instances in the rest of the section do. Arguably this should all be
converted to use backticks, which would let us drop the quoting here and
elsewhere (e.g., {carat}). But that does change the rendering slightly.
So let's fix the bug first, and we can decide on migrating the whole
section separately.
Note that this produces an empty doc-diff of the manpages. Curiously,
asciidoc produces the same ellipsis entity in the XML file, but docbook
then converts it back into three literal dots for the roff output! So
the roff manpages have been correct all along (which may be a reason
nobody noticed this until now).

consolidation, renames, proper directory/file conflict handling, and so
forth). However, unlike `git merge`, the working tree and index are
left alone and no branch is updated.
The only output is:
- the toplevel resulting tree printed on stdout
- exit status of 0 (clean), 1 (conflicts present), anything else
(merge could not be performed; unknown if clean or conflicted)
This output is meant to be used by some higher level script, perhaps in
a sequence of steps like this:
NEWTREE=$(git merge-tree --write-tree $BRANCH1 $BRANCH2)
test $? -eq 0 || die "There were conflicts..."
NEWCOMMIT=$(git commit-tree $NEWTREE -p $BRANCH1 -p $BRANCH2)
git update-ref $BRANCH1 $NEWCOMMIT
Note that higher level scripts may also want to access the
conflict/warning messages normally output during a merge, or have quick
access to a list of files with conflicts. That is not available in this
preliminary implementation, but subsequent commits will add that
ability (meaning that NEWTREE would be a lot more than a tree in the
case of conflicts).
This also marks the traditional trivial merge of merge-tree as
deprecated. The trivial merge not only had limited applicability, the
output format was also difficult to work with (and its format
undocumented), and will generally be less performant than real merges.

merge-tree: add option parsing and initial shell for real merge function
Let merge-tree accept a `--write-tree` parameter for choosing real
merges instead of trivial merges, and accept an optional
`--trivial-merge` option to get the traditional behavior. Note that
these accept different numbers of arguments, though, so these names
need not actually be used.
Note that real merges differ from trivial merges in that they handle:
- three way content merges
- recursive ancestor consolidation
- renames
- proper directory/file conflict handling
- etc.
Basically all the stuff you'd expect from `git merge`, just without
updating the index and working tree. The initial shell added here does
nothing more than die with "real merges are not yet implemented", but
that will be fixed in subsequent commits.

merge-tree: rename merge_trees() to trivial_merge_trees()
merge-recursive.h defined its own merge_trees() function, different than
the one found in builtin/merge-tree.c. That was okay in the past, but
we want merge-tree to be able to use the merge-ort functions, which will
end up including merge-recursive.h. Rename the function found in
builtin/merge-tree.c to avoid the conflict.

grep: add --max-count command line option
This patch adds a command line option analogous to that of GNU
grep(1)'s -m / --max-count, which users might already be used to.
This makes it possible to limit the amount of matches shown in the
output while keeping the functionality of other options such as -C
(show code context) or -p (show containing function), which would be
difficult to do with a shell pipeline (e.g. head(1)).
