commit --author was added by 146ea06 (git commit --author=$name: look $name up
in existing commits), but its documentation was sorely lacking compared to its
excellent commit message. This commit tries to improve the documentation.

Avoid attempts to stat() the contents of '', which could happen
when the root directory is empty. Additionally, remove the
unnecessary '_' stat optimization since it was confusing and
possibly throwing off the non-existent case.

git-compat-util.h: use apparently more common __sgi macro to detect SGI IRIX
IRIX 6.5.26m does not define the 'sgi' macro, but it does define an '__sgi'
macro. Since later IRIX versions (6.5.29m) define both macros, and since
an underscore prefixed macro is preferred anyway, use '__sgi' to detect
compilation on SGI IRIX.

Fix checkout of large files to network shares on Windows XP
start_command: close cmd->err descriptor when fork/spawn fails
Fix "Out of memory? mmap failed" for files larger than 4GB on Windows
Fix checkout of large files to network shares on Windows XP
Bigger writes to network drives on Windows XP fail. Cap them at 31MB to
allow them to succeed. Callers need to be prepared for write() calls
that do less work than requested anyway.
On local drives, write() calls are translated to WriteFile() calls with
a cap of 64KB on Windows XP and 256KB on Vista. Thus a cap of 31MB won't
affect the number of WriteFile() calls which do the actual work. There's
still room for some other version of Windows to use a chunk size of 1MB
without increasing the number of system calls.

start_command: close cmd->err descriptor when fork/spawn fails
Fix the problem where the cmd->err passed into start_command wasn't
being properly closed when certain types of errors occurr. (Compare
the affected code with the clean shutdown code later in the function.)
On Windows, this problem would be triggered if mingw_spawnvpe()
failed, which would happen if the command to be executed was malformed
(e.g. a text file that didn't start with a #! line). If cmd->err was
a pipe, the failure to close it could result in a hang while the other
side was waiting (forever) for either input or pipe close, e.g. while
trying to shove the output into the side band. On msysGit, this
problem was causing a hang in t5516-fetch-push.
[J6t: With a slight adjustment of the test case, the hang is also
observed on Linux.]

hash_object: correction for zero length file
The check whether size is zero was done after if size <= SMALL_FILE_SIZE,
as result, zero size case was never triggered. Instead zero length file
was treated as any other small file. This did not caused any problem, but
if we have a special case for size equal to zero, it is better to make it
work and avoid redundant malloc().

Restrict the tags used to generate the version string to those that
begin with "v", since git's tags for git-core (ie. excluding git-gui)
are all of the form "vX.Y...".
This is to avoid using private tags by the user in a clone of the git
code repository, which may break certain machinery (eg. Makefile, gitk).

If we know we are creating a bare repository, we use setenv
to set the GIT_DIR directory to the current directory
(either where we already were, or one we created and chdir'd
into with "git init --bare <dir>").
However, with "git --bare init <dir>" (note the --bare as a
git wrapper option), the setup code actually sets GIT_DIR
for us, but it uses the wrong, original cwd when a directory
is given. Because our setenv does not use the overwrite
flag, it is ignored.
We need to set the overwrite flag, but only when we are
given a directory on the command line. That still allows:
GIT_DIR=foo.git git init --bare
to work. The behavior is changed for:
GIT_DIR=foo.git git init --bare bar.git
which used to create the repository in foo.git, but now will
use bar.git. This is more sane, as command line options
should generally override the environment.
Noticed by Oliver Hoffmann.

When cherry-picking, usually the new and old commit encodings are both
UTF-8. Most old iconv implementations do not support this trivial
conversion, so on old platforms, out->message remains NULL, and later
attempts to read it segfault.
Fix this by noticing the input and output encodings match and skipping
the iconv step, like the other reencode_string() call sites already do.
Also stop segfaulting on other iconv failures: if iconv fails for some
other reason, the best we can do is to pass the old message through.
This fixes a regression introduced in v1.7.1-rc0~15^2~2 (revert:
clarify label on conflict hunks, 2010-03-20).

instructions, we change the main Makefile so that it delegates
