api-credentials.txt: show the big picture first

The API documentation targets two kinds of developers: those using the
C API, and those writing remote-helpers. The document was not clear
about which part was useful to which category, and for example, the C API
could be mistakenly thought as an API for writting remote helpers.

api-credentials.txt: mention credential.helper explicitly

The name of the configuration variable was mentioned only at the very
end of the explanation, in a place specific to a specific rule, hence it
was not very clear what the specification was about.

wt-status.*: better advices for git status added

This patch provides new informative help messages in the display of
'git status' (at the top) during conflicts, rebase, am, bisect or
cherry-pick process.

The new messages are not shown when using options such as -s or
--porcelain. The messages about the current situation of the user are
always displayed but the advices on what the user needs to do in order
to resume a rebase/bisect/am/commit after resolving conflicts can be
hidden by setting advice.statushints to 'false' in the config file.

Thus, information about the updated advice.statushints key are added
in Documentation/config.txt.

Also, the test t7060-wt-status.sh is now working with the new help
messages. Tests about suggestions of "git rm" are also added.

fixup! wt-status.*: better advices for git status added
tweak "bundle verify" of a complete history

A bundle that records a complete history without prerequiste is a
useful way to sneakernet the sources of your configuration files
under your home directory, etc.  E.g.

    $ GIT_DIR=/srv/git/homesrc.git git bundle create x.bndl HEAD master

Running "git bundle verify" on such a "complete" bundle, however,
gives somewhat a funny output.

    $ git bundle verify x.bndl
    The bundle contains 2 refs
    b2611f37ebc7ed6435a72d77fbc5f8b48a7d7146 HEAD
    b2611f37ebc7ed6435a72d77fbc5f8b48a7d7146 refs/heads/master
    The bundle requires these 0 refs
    x.bndl is okay

Reword "requires these 0 refs" to say "The bundle records a complete
history" instead.

"git clone --local $path" started its life as an experiment to
optionally use link/copy when cloning a repository on the disk, but
we didn't deprecate it after we made the option a no-op to always
use the optimization.

Not ready.

I finished the streaming checkout codepath, but as explained in
127b177 (bulk-checkin: support chunked-object encoding, 2011-11-30),
these are still early steps of a long and painful journey. At least
pack-objects and fsck need to learn the new encoding for the series
to be usable locally, and then index-pack/unpack-objects needs to
learn it to be used remotely.

Given that I heard a lot of noise that people want large files, and
that I was asked by somebody at GitTogether'11 privately for an
advice on how to pay developers (not me) to help adding necessary
support, I am somewhat dissapointed that the original patch series
that was sent almost two months ago still remains here without much
comments and updates from the developer community. I even made the
interface to the logic that decides where to split chunks easily
replaceable, and I deliberately made the logic in the original patch
extremely stupid to entice others, especially the "bup" fanboys, to
come up with a better logic, thinking that giving people an easy
target to shoot for, they may be encouraged to help out. The plan is
not working :-(.

* jc/split-blob:
  chunked-object: streaming checkout
  chunked-object: fallback checkout codepaths
  bulk-checkin: support chunked-object encoding
  bulk-checkin: allow the same data to be multiply hashed
  new representation types in the packstream
  packfile: use varint functions
