[PATCH 0/3] scalar: two downstream improvements

<pull.1569.git.1692025937.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

While updating git-for-windows/git and microsoft/git for the 2.42.0 release window, a few patches that we've been running in those forks for a while came to light as something that would be beneficial to the core Git project. Here are some that are focused on the 'scalar' command.

 * Patch 1 adds a --no-src option to scalar clone to appease users who want
   to use scalar but object to the creation of the src directory.
 * Patches 2 and 3 help when scalar reconfigure -a fails. Patch 2 is a
   possibly helpful change on its own for other uses in the future.
Thanks, -Stolee
