[v4,0/4] Additional FAQ entries

Message

This series introduces some additional Git FAQ entries on various
topics.  They are all things I've seen in my professional life or on
Stack Overflow, so I've written documentation.

Changes from v3:
* Improve text for eol options in .gitattributes.
* Split working tree syncing into its own category.
* Add some more explanation about what might go wrong in such a case.
* Rephrase some text to avoid repetition.

Changes from v2 (partial):
* Add documentation on proxies to the configuration documentation as
  well.
* Mention some security problems that are known to occur with TLS MITM
  proxies.  This mirrors the similar Git LFS documentation.
* Provide a documentation example about how to use proxies with SSH.
* Recommend running a `git fsck` after syncing with rsync.

Changes from v1:
* Drop the monorepo patch for now; I want to revise it further.
* Reorder the working tree patch to place more warnings up front.
* Mention core.gitproxy and socat.
* Rephrase text in the EOL entry to read correctly and be easier to
  understand.
* Improve the commit message for the working tree FAQ entry to make it
  clearer that users wish to transfer uncommitted changes.
