The original t9800 test code has a mix of assorted topics, some
of which are big enough to deserve their own homes.
Interdependencies between the topics make it confusing when
trying to study one in isolation. And it takes so long to run
that debugging an individual test is difficult.
Split out three big chunks of tests into their own files:
t9812-git-p4-wildcards.sh gets the 8 p4 wildcard tests
t9813-git-p4-preserve-users.sh gets the 4 --preserve-user tests
t9814-git-p4-rename.sh gets the 2 copy and rename tests
Test 9800 execution time drops from 29 sec to 9 sec. The
sequential time to run all tests is a slower due to the three
extra p4d startup/shutdown sequences, but the overall parallel
execution time is about the same, at 52 sec.

git p4 test: use real_path to resolve p4 client symlinks
The p4 program is finicky about making sure the recorded client Root
matches the current working directory. The way it discovers the latter
seems to be to inspect shell variable $PWD. This could involve symlinks,
that while leading to the same place as the client Root, look different,
and cause p4 to fail.
Resolve all client paths using "test-path-utils real_path $path". This
removes ".." and resolves all symlinks.
Discovered while running with --root=/dev/shm, which is a link to
/run/shm.

A path containing a space must be quoted when used as an
argument to either the copy or rename commands (because
unlike other commands, the path is not the final thing on
the line for those commands).
Commit 6280dfdc3b (fast-export: quote paths in output,
2011-08-05) previously attempted to fix fast-export's
quoting by passing all paths through quote_c_style().
However, that function does not consider the space to be a
character which requires quoting, so let's special-case the
space inside print_path(). This will cause space-containing
paths to also be quoted in other commands where such quoting
is not strictly necessary, but it does not hurt to do so.
The test from 6280dfdc3b did not detect this because, while
it does introduce renames in the export stream, it does not
actually turn on rename detection, so they were presented as
pairs of deletions/adds. Using "-M" reveals the bug.

The previous version implemented the possibility to log in a wiki, but
the username and password had to be provided as configuration variables.
We add the possibility to use the Git credential system to prompt
the password.
The support if implemented with generic functions that mimic the C API,
designed to be usable from other contexts in the future (i.e. they may
migrate to Git.pm if someone is interested).
While we're there, do a bit of refactoring in mw_connect_maybe.

git credential fill: output the whole 'struct credential'
Instead of outputing only the username and password, print all the
attributes, even those that already appeared in the input.
This is closer to what the C API does, and allows one to take the exact
output of "git credential fill" as input to "git credential approve" or
"git credential reject".
The credential API is in C, and not available to scripting languages.
Expose the functionalities of the API by wrapping them into a new
plumbing command "git credentials".
In other words, replace the internal "test-credential" by an official Git
command.

Let core.excludesfile default to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/ignore
To use the feature of core.excludesfile, the user needs:
1. to create such a file,
2. and add configuration variable to point at it.
Instead, we can make this a one-step process by choosing a default value
which points to a filename in the user's $HOME, that is unlikely to
already exist on the system, and only use the presence of the file as a
cue that the user wants to use that feature.
And we use "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config/git}/ignore" as such a
file, in the same directory as the newly added configuration file
("${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config/git}/config). The use of this
directory is in line with XDG specification as a location to store
such application specific files.

Teach git to read the "gitconfig" information from a new location,
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config; this allows the user to avoid
cluttering $HOME with many per-application configuration files.
In the order of reading, this file comes between the global
configuration file (typically $HOME/.gitconfig) and the system wide
configuration file (typically /etc/gitconfig).
We do not write to this new location (yet).
If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is either not set or empty, $HOME/.config/git/config
will be used. This is in line with XDG specification.
If the new file does not exist, the behavior is unchanged.

Add a few more advices that we often have to give to new test
writers.
Also update an example where a double quote pair is used to enclose
a test body to use a single quote pair, which is more readable and
more importantly gives saner semantics for variable substitution.
t/test-lib.sh: export PERL_PATH for use in scripts
Most notably, t4031 creates a small shell script that invokes perl
and we want to use "$PERL_PATH" to name the version of Perl suitable

is directly run in t/ directory from the shell or "make" is run in t/
directory.
This problem was hidden from "make test" run in the top-level
directory, because its Makefile exports PERL_PATH.

When running 'git diff --quiet <file1> <file2>', if file1 or file2
is outside the repository, it will exit(0) even if the files differ.
It should exit(1) when they differ.
This happens because 'diff_no_index' looks at the 'found_changes'
member from 'diff_options' to determine if changes were made. This
is the wrong thing to do, since it is only set if xdiff is actually
run and it finds a change (the diff machinery will optimize out the
xdiff call when it is not necessary) and in that case HAS_CHANGED
flag needs to be taken into account.

exit value instead.

Commit fe77b41 introduced a new attribute to let the linkgit macro
create cross-directory HTML references from the technical/ and howto/
subdirectories back to the main documentation. We define that attribute
to "../" on the command-line when building inside those subdirectories,
and otherwise leave it unset under the assumption that it would default
to being blank. Instead, asciidoc omits the link entirely, leading to
broken documentation. Fix this by defining git-relative-html-prefix to
blank in asciidoc.conf (and an instance on the command-line, when
present, will override it).
