Fixes since v1.7.9
------------------
+ * The makefile allowed environment variable X seep into it result in
+ command names suffixed with unnecessary strings.
+
+ * The set of included header files in compat/inet-{ntop,pton}
+ wrappers was updated for Windows some time ago, but in a way that
+ broke Solaris build.
+
* rpmbuild noticed an unpackaged but installed *.mo file and failed.
* Subprocesses spawned from various git programs were often left running
chain and veered into side branch from which the whole change to the
specified paths came.
+ * "git merge --no-edit $tag" failed to honor the --no-edit option.
+
* "git merge --ff-only $tag" failed because it cannot record the
required mergetag without creating a merge, but this is so common
operation for branch that is used _only_ to follow the upstream, so
in .gitmodules when the submodule at $path was once added to the
superproject and already initialized.
+ * Many small corner case bugs on "git tag -n" was corrected.
+
Also contains minor fixes and documentation updates.
