Among Git's environment variables, the ones marked as "Boolean"
accept values in a way similar to Boolean configuration variables,
i.e. values like 'yes', 'on', 'true' and positive numbers are
taken as "on" and values like 'no', 'off', 'false' are taken as
"off".
GIT_FLUSH can be used to force Git to use non-buffered I/O when
writing to stdout. It can only accept two values, '1' which causes
Git to flush more often and '0' which makes all output buffered.
Make GIT_FLUSH accept more values besides '0' and '1' by turning it
into a Boolean environment variable, modifying the required logic.
Update the related documentation.

Introduce a new "extensions.refStorage" extension that allows us to
specify the ref storage format used by a repository. For now, the only
supported format is the "files" format, but this list will likely soon
be extended to also support the upcoming "reftable" format.
There have been discussions on the Git mailing list in the past around
how exactly this extension should look like. One alternative [1] that
was discussed was whether it would make sense to model the extension in
such a way that backends are arbitrarily stackable. This would allow for
a combined value of e.g. "loose,packed-refs" or "loose,reftable", which
indicates that new refs would be written via "loose" files backend and
compressed into "packed-refs" or "reftable" backends, respectively.
It is arguable though whether this flexibility and the complexity that
it brings with it is really required for now. It is not foreseeable that
there will be a proliferation of backends in the near-term future, and
the current set of existing formats and formats which are on the horizon
can easily be configured with the much simpler proposal where we have a
single value, only.
Furthermore, if we ever see that we indeed want to gain the ability to
arbitrarily stack the ref formats, then we can adapt the current
extension rather easily. Given that Git clients will refuse any unknown
value for the "extensions.refStorage" extension they would also know to
ignore a stacked "loose,packed-refs" in the future.
So let's stick with the easy proposal for the time being and wire up the
extension.

Gives all paths builtin objectmode values based on the paths' modes
(one of 100644, 100755, 120000, 040000, 160000). Users may use
this feature to filter by file types. For example a pathspec such as
':(attr:builtin_objectmode=160000)' could filter for submodules without
needing to have `builtin_objectmode=160000` to be set in .gitattributes
for every submodule path.
These values are also reflected in `git check-attr` results.
If the git_attr_direction is set to GIT_ATTR_INDEX or GIT_ATTR_CHECKIN
and a path is not found in the index, the value will be unspecified.
This patch also reserves the builtin_* attribute namespace for objectmode
and any future builtin attributes. Any user defined attributes using this
reserved namespace will result in a warning. This is a breaking change for
any existing builtin_* attributes.
Pathspecs with some builtin_* attribute name (excluding builtin_objectmode)
will behave like any attribute where there are no user specified values.

GitHub has two general forms for its states, sometimes they're a simple
colored object (e.g. green check or red x), and sometimes there's also a
colored container (e.g. green box or red circle) which contains that
object (e.g. check or x).
That's a lot of words to try to describe things, but in general, the key
for a failure is that it's recognized as an `x` and that it's associated
with the color red -- the color of course is problematic for people who
are red-green color-blind, but that's why they are paired with distinct
shapes.

There seems to be consensus amongst the core Git community on a working
set of common trailers, and there are non-trivial costs to people
inventing new trailers (research to discover what they mean/how they
differ from existing trailers) such that inventing new ones is generally
unwarranted and not something to be recommended to new contributors.

As René found in the guidance from CodingGuidelines:
Literal examples (e.g. use of command-line options, command names,
branch names, URLs, pathnames (files and directories), configuration
and environment variables) must be typeset in monospace (i.e. wrapped
with backticks)
So all instances of single and double quotes for wraping said examples
were replaced with simple backticks.

437591a9d738 combined the synopsis of "The second syntax" (meaning `git
merge --abort`) and "The third syntax" (for `git merge --continue`) into
this single line:
git merge (--continue | --abort | --quit)
but it was still referred to when describing the preconditions that have
to be fulfilled to run the respective actions. In other words:
References by number are no longer valid after a merge of some of the
synopses.
Also the previous version of the documentation did not acknowledge that
`--no-commit` would result in the precondition being fulfilled (thanks
to Elijah Newren and Junio C Hamano for pointing that out).
This change also groups `--abort` and `--continue` together when
explaining the prerequisites in order to avoid duplication.

The introductory text in "git help git" that describes HEAD called
it "a special ref". It is special compared to the more regular refs
like refs/heads/master and refs/tags/v1.0.0, but not that special,
unlike truly special ones like FETCH_HEAD.
Rewrite a few sentences to also introduce the distinction between a
regular ref that contain the object name and a symbolic ref that
contain the name of another ref. Update the description of HEAD
that point at the current branch to use the more correct term, a
"symbolic ref".
This was found as part of auditing the documentation and in-code
comments for uses of "special ref" that refer merely a "pseudo ref".
