* ab/align-parse-options-help (2021-09-22) 4 commits
 - parse-options: properly align continued usage output
 - git rev-parse --parseopt tests: add more usagestr tests
 - send-pack: properly use parse_options() API for usage string
 - parse-options API users: align usage output in C-strings

 When "git cmd -h" shows more than one line of usage text (e.g.
 the cmd subcommand may take sub-sub-command), parse-options API
 learned to align these lines, even across i18n/l10n.

 Will merge to 'next'?


* ab/help-config-vars (2021-09-23) 9 commits
 - help: move column config discovery to help.c library
 - help / completion: make "git help" do the hard work
 - help tests: test --config-for-completion option & output
 - help: simplify by moving to OPT_CMDMODE()
 - help: correct logic error in combining --all and --guides
 - help: correct logic error in combining --all and --config
 - help tests: add test for --config output
 - help: correct usage & behavior of "git help --guides"
 - help: correct the usage string in -h and documentation

 Teach "git help -c" into helping the command line completion of
 configuration variables.

 Will merge to 'next'?
I think the v5[1] and v3[2] of these have, respectively, reached an
"addressed all feedback" and "should be good enough". I.e. had some
feedback on [2] that I'm choosing to read as some post-cleanup
suggestions :)

The reason I wanted [2] was for some user-facing documentation query
improvements in "git help", so having it go forward would be
great. Thanks!
