rely on symbolic links and make sharing of objects and refs safer
by making the borrowee and borrowers aware of each other.

* Tweak the sample "store" backend of the credential helper to honor
XDG configuration file locations when specified.
* "git send-email" learned the alias file format used by the sendmail
program (in a simplified form; we obviously do not feed pipes).
- * "git am" learned am.threeWay configuration variable.
-
* Traditionally, external low-level 3-way merge drivers are expected
to produce their results based solely on the contents of the three
variants given in temporary files named by %O, %A and %B on their
underlying "git fetch" and then learned to use parse-options
parser.
+ * Clarify in the Makefile a guideline to decide use of USE_NSEC.

Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
* A minor bugfix when pack bitmap is used with "rev-list --count".
(merge c8a70d3 jk/rev-list-no-bitmap-while-pruning later to maint).
+ * "git config" failed to update the configuration file when the
+ underlying filesystem is incapable of renaming a file that is still
+ open.

+ * When you say "!<ENTER>" while running say "git log", you'd confuse
+ yourself in the resulting shell, that may look as if you took
+ control back to the original shell you spawned "git log" from but
+ that isn't what is happening. To that new shell, we leaked
+ GIT_PAGER_IN_USE environment variable that was meant as a local
+ communication between the original "Git" and subprocesses that was
+ spawned by it after we launched the pager, which caused many
+ "interesting" things to happen, e.g. "git diff | cat" still paints
+ its output in color by default.
+
+ Stop leaking that environment variable to the pager's half of the
+ fork; we only need it on "Git" side when we spawn the pager.

+ "--continue" left CHERRY_PICK_HEAD and confused later steps.

+ * We used to ask libCURL to use the most secure authentication method
+ available when talking to an HTTP proxy only when we were told to
+ talk to one via configuration variables. We now ask libCURL to
+ always use the most secure authentication method, because the user
+ can tell libCURL to use an HTTP proxy via an environment variable
+ without using configuration variables.

+ * A fix to a minor regression to "git fsck" in v2.2 era that started
+ complaining about a body-less tag object when it lacks a separator
+ empty line after its header to separate it with a non-existent body.
