Summary:
- PHABRICATOR_ENV is now optional. If you don't specify it, we won't load a config file.
- PhabricatorSetup is now gone.
- I removed the alternate file domain check for now, see T2380.
- `phabricator.setup` config is now gone.
- Rewrote documentation:
- No more mentions of `phabricator.setup`.
- Normal install guide no longer mentions PHABRICATOR_ENV. This is now an advanced topic.
- Clarified that you only need to set up one of apache, nginx or lighttpd.
- Tweaked a few things I've seen users have difficulty with.
This should have no effect on any existing installs, but make the process much simpler for future installs.
Closes T2221.
Closes T2223.
Closes T2228.
Test Plan:
- Removed my PHABRICATOR_ENV and went through the install process.
- Generated and read documentation.

Summary:
Submoduling is slightly convenient for developers but hellishly difficult for many users. Since we make about a dozen updates to Javelin per year, just include the source directly.
Even if we run `git submodule status` more often, this creates additional problems for users with PATH misconfigured.
Fixes T2062 by nuking it from orbit.
Test Plan: Loaded site, browsed around. Grepped for references to submodules.

Summary:
Tighten the Phabricator support policy from "we will help with literally anything for free" to "we will help with anything for free, except unreproducible fishing expeditions".
This is not the right policy in the long term (in some form, I expect the level of free support will decrease, and, e.g., I won't be offering to drive to your place and fix your stuff), but this class of issue is by far the worst and most pressing and I want to stop dealing with fishing expeditions like this one right now, since I hate supporting them and they're a disproportionately huge waste of time:

need your help bro i have to also setup on live server as well
still trying ...
not success
after doing this my local apache is not restarting ..
Adam Aahil
when u get time plz let me know
Write a friendly explanation of why these support cases aren't a priority and how to build repro cases.
If this looks good, I plan to respond to anything that I can't reproduce in a few minutes with a link to this.

I like systems that just work. It is possible to store files larger than max_allowed_packet in MySQL and we shouldn't demand it.
It also fixes a problem when file was smaller than `storage.mysql-engine.max-size` but its escaped version was larger than `max_allowed_packet`.
Test Plan: Reduced the size to 5e4, uploaded 90 kB file, checked the queries in DarkConsole, downloaded the file.

There's some good feedback from Wikimedia here:
http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2012-August/062252.html
Try to improve on some of it. In particular:
- Make it clear that /arcanist/ is not where you should be (D3235).
- Provide better connections from "Arcanist User Guide" to other documents.
- Provide a "Quick Start" guide with a simpler set of instructions that links to richer documentation.
- Reorganize the project setup guide to put more important things earlier on.
- Make it clear that you should commit `.arcconfig`.
- Provide more hints for initial setup.
- Describe and organize advanced configuration/extension documentation as more clearly separate from basic setup/install documentation.

We can use `.gitattributes` instead but there's no way how to set repository config for all users in Git, right?
So provide a script writting to `.git/info/attributes` instead so that we don't have to .gitignore `.gitattributes`.

Summary:
Currently, we have this cumbersome `PhabricatorRepositoryCommitMessageDetailParser` hook. This is really old and outdated; I want to just use the Differential custom field parser. See T945 for a specific application.
However, it allows installs to override author/committer association. Instead, provide an event hook for doing this.
Test Plan: Added a listener, made every commit resolve to "turtle", parsed some commits, verified the events looked sane and they now correctly were all attributed to "turtle".

Summary:
- The most common workflow complaint I've seen recently is something like "how do I use Differential with a branch full of random code that me and several other developers all commit to"? There are some okay answers ("commandeer") but I think the best answer is "don't do that". Add a document explaining how development works at Facebook (and many other companies) without the use of feature branching, why it's better, and how you can lay the technical groundwork you need to to stop doing this.
- Add a general "smaller commits are better" and "your commit messsage should provide context" document.
- Minor updates to other stuff as my understanding of Mercurial has been refined.
Test Plan: Generated and read documentation.
