Hi,

Attached is the second re-roll of my series to teach "core.alternateRefsCommand" and "core.alternateRefsPrefixes".

I have included a range-diff below (which I have taught my scripts to do by default now), but will summarize the changes as usual:

  * Clean up t5410 according to Peff's suggestions in [1]:
    * Simplify many `git update-ref -d`'s into one `git update-ref
      --stdin`.
    * Use `echo >`, instead of `printf >` to write an alternate
      repository.
    * Avoid placing Git on the left-hand side of a pipe.
    * Use 'write_script', instead of embedding the same code in a
      lengthy 'test_config'.
  * Add a motivating example in Documentation/config.txt, per Peff's
    suggestion in [1].
  * Use `printf "%s .have\n"` with many arguments instead of another
    `cat <<-EOF` block and extract it into `expect_haves`, per [2].
  * Do not use `grep -o` in `extract_haves`, thus making it portable.
    Per [3].
