 - strbuf.h: format according to coding guidelines

 Code clean-up to serve as a BCP example.

 What's the status of this one after the discussion thread stopped here?
 cf. [ref]

I started rewriting the documentation according to your proposal of having
parameters with name, then referred to as NAME in the docs.

After a few examples, I must admit I do not like that style,
so I would just want to do the minimal part that would get this patch landed,
i.e.
(a) convince you that the patch is good as-is or
(b) resend with fewer parameters made explicit if
    we desire to be concise instead.

 (this branch is used by sb/more-repo-in-api.)

 Various codepaths in the core-ish part learn to work on an
 arbitrary in-core index structure, not necessarily the default
 instance "the_index".

 Will merge to 'master'.

Cool!

sb/more-repo-in-api is not part of this message,
but it requires at least one resend, so I'll do that.

* sb/submodule-recursive-fetch-gets-the-tip (2018-10-11) 9 commits
 . builtin/fetch: check for submodule updates for non branch fetches
 . fetch: retry fetching submodules if needed objects were not fetched
 . submodule: fetch in submodules git directory instead of in worktree
 . repository: repo_submodule_init to take a submodule struct
 . submodule.c: do not copy around submodule list
 . submodule.c: move global changed_submodule_names into fetch submodule struct
 . submodule.c: sort changed_submodule_names before searching it
 . submodule.c: fix indentation
 . sha1-array: provide oid_array_filter

 "git fetch --recurse-submodules" may not fetch the necessary commit
 that is bound to the superproject, which is getting corrected.

 Ejected for now, as it has fallouts in places like t/helper/.

This is the first time I hear about that, I'll look into that.
The tipmost commit there is also shoddy, I'll redo that.
