user-manual: use 'git config --global user.*' for setup
A simple command line call is easier than spawning an editor,
especially for folks new to ideas like the "command line" and "text
editors". This is also the approach suggested by 'git commit' if you
try and commit without having configured user.name or user.email.

git.txt: update description of the configuration mechanism
The old Git version where it appeared is now useful only to historians,
not to normal users. Also, the text was mentioning only the per-repo
config file, but this is a good place to teach that customization can
also be made per-user.
While at it, remove a now-defunct e-mail from an example.

pathspec is the most widely used term, and is the one defined in
gitglossary.txt. <filepattern> was used only in the synopsys for git-add

Because our command-line parser considers only one byte at the time
for short-options, we incorrectly report only the first byte when
multi-byte input was provided. This makes user-errors slightly
awkward to diagnose for instance under UTF-8 locale and non-English
keyboard layouts.

If you run "git log --grep=foo", we will run your regex on
the literal bytes of the commit message. This can provide
confusing results if the commit message is not in the same
encoding as your grep expression (or worse, you have commits
in multiple encodings, in which case your regex would need
to be written to match either encoding). On top of this, we
might also be grepping in the commit's notes, which are
already re-encoded, potentially leading to grepping in a
buffer with mixed encodings concatenated. This is insanity,
but most people never noticed, because their terminal and
their commit encodings all match.
Instead, let's massage the to-be-grepped commit into a
standardized encoding. There is not much point in adding a
flag for "this is the encoding I expect my grep pattern to
match"; the only sane choice is for it to use the log output
encoding. That is presumably what the user's terminal is
using, and it means that the patterns found by the grep will
match the output produced by git.
As a bonus, this fixes a potential segfault in commit_match
when commit->buffer is NULL, as we now build on logmsg_reencode,
which handles reading the commit buffer from disk if
necessary. The segfault can be triggered with:
which arguably does not make any sense (--graph inherently
wants a connected history, and by --no-walk the command line
is telling us to show discrete points in history without
connectivity), and we probably should forbid the
combination, but that is a separate issue.

cvsimport: format commit timestamp ourselves without using strftime
Some implementations of strftime(3) lack support for "%z". Also

perl/Git.pm: fix get_tz_offset to properly handle DST boundary cases
When passed a local time that was on the boundary of a DST change,
get_tz_offset returned a GMT offset that was incorrect (off by one
hour). This is because the time was converted to GMT and then back to
a time stamp via timelocal() which cannot disambiguate boundary cases
as noted in its documentation.
Modify this algorithm, using an approach suggested in
to first convert the timestamp in question to two broken down forms
with localtime() and gmtime(), and then compute what timestamps
these two broken down forms would represent in GMT (i.e. a timezone
that does not have DST issues) by applying timegm() on them. The
difference between the resulting timestamps is the timezone offset.
This avoids the ambigious conversion and allows a correct time to be
returned on every occassion.

This fixes that.
l10n: de.po: translate "revision" consistently as "Revision"
In the current German translation, the word "revision" was
translated as both "Version" (translation of "commit") and
"Revision". Since a revision in Git is not necessarily a
commit, we should not translate it with the same word in
order to give the user an idea that it's not necessarily
the same. After this commit, "revision" is consistently
translated as "Revision".

The Makefile already knows how to process files outside the toplevel
directory with e.g.
make SCRIPT_PERL=path/to/file.perl path/to/file
but we can make it simpler for callers by exposing build, install and
