Documentation: convert SubmittingPatches to AsciiDoc
The SubmittingPatches document is often cited by outside parties as an
example of good practices to follow, including logical, independent
commits; patch sign-offs; and sending patches to a mailing list.
Currently, people who want to cite a particular section tend to either
refer to it by name and let the interested party search through the
document to find it, or link to a given line number on GitHub and hope
the file doesn't change.
Instead, convert the document to AsciiDoc. Build it as part of the
technical documentation, since it is likely of interest to the same
group of people. Provide stable links to the sections which outside
parties are likely to want to link to. Make some minor structural
changes to organize it so that it can be formatted sanely.
Since the makefile needs a .txt extension in order to build with the
rest of the documentation, simply copy the file. Ignore the temporary
file so it doesn't get checked in accidentally, and remove it as part of
the clean process. Do this instead of renaming the file so that people
who have already linked to the documentation (who we're trying to help)
don't find their links broken. Avoid symlinking since Windows will not
like that.
This allows us to render the document as part of the website for the
benefit of others who wish to link to it as well as providing a more
nicely formatted display for our community and potential contributors.

t4201: make use of abbreviation in the test more robust
The test for '--abbrev' in t4201-shortlog.sh assumes that the commits
generated in the test can always be uniquely abbreviated to 5 hex digits
but this is not always the case. If you were unlucky and happened to run
the test at (say) Thu Jun 22 03:04:49 2017 +0000, you would find that
the first commit generated would collide with a tree object created
later in the same test.
This can be simulated in the version of t4201-shortlog.sh prior to this
commit by setting GIT_COMMITTER_DATE and GIT_AUTHOR_DATE to 1498100689
after sourcing test-lib.sh.
Change the test to test --abbrev=35 instead of --abbrev=5 to almost
completely avoid the possibility of a partial collision and add a call
to test_tick in the setup to make the test repeatable (the latter alone
is sufficient to make it robust enough).

apply: avoid out-of-bounds access in fuzzy_matchlines()
fuzzy_matchlines() uses a pointers to the first and last characters of
two lines to keep track while matching them. This makes it impossible
to deal with empty strings. It accesses characters before the start of
empty lines. It can also access characters after the end when checking
for trailing whitespace in the main loop.
Avoid that by using pointers to the first character and the one *after*
the last one. This is well-defined as long as the latter is not
dereferenced. Basically rewrite the function based on that premise; it
becomes much simpler as a result. There is no need to check for
leading whitespace outside of the main loop anymore.

In several functions, we iterate through a commit list by assigning
`result = result->next`. As a consequence, we lose the original pointer
and eventually leak the list.
Rewrite the loops so that we keep the original pointers, then call
`free_commit_list()`. Various alternatives were considered:
1) Use `UNLEAK(result)` before the loop. Simple change, but not very
pretty. These would definitely be new lows among our usages of UNLEAK.
2) Use `pop_commit()` when looping. Slightly less simple change, but it
feels slightly preferable to first display the list, then free it.
3) As in this patch, but with `UNLEAK()` instead of freeing. We'd still
go through all the trouble of refactoring the loop, and because it's not
super-obvious that we're about to exit, let's just free the lists -- it
probably doesn't affect the runtime much.
In `handle_independent()` we can drop `result` while we're here and
reuse the `revs`-variable instead. That matches several other users of
`reduce_heads()`. The memory-leak that this hides will be addressed in
the next commit.

wt-status: actually ignore submodules when requested
Since ff6f1f564 (submodule-config: lazy-load a repository's .gitmodules
file, 2017-08-03) rebase interactive fails if there are any submodules
with unstaged changes which have been configured with a value for
'submodule.<name>.ignore' in the repository's config.
This is due to how configured values of 'submodule.<name>.ignore' are
handled in addition to a change in how the submodule config is loaded.
When the diff machinery hits a submodule (gitlink as well as a
corresponding entry in the submodule subsystem) it will read the value
of 'submodule.<name>.ignore' stored in the repository's config and if
the config is present it will clear the 'IGNORE_SUBMODULES' (which is
the flag explicitly requested by rebase interactive),
'IGNORE_UNTRACKED_IN_SUBMODULES', and 'IGNORE_DIRTY_SUBMODULES' diff
flags and then set one of them based on the configured value.
Historically this wasn't a problem because the submodule subsystem
wasn't initialized because the .gitmodules file wasn't explicitly loaded
by the rebase interactive command. So when the diff machinery hit a
submodule it would skip over reading any configured values of
'submodule.<name>.ignore'.
In order to preserve the behavior of submodules being ignored by rebase
interactive, also set the 'OVERRIDE_SUBMODULE_CONFIG' diff flag when
submodules are requested to be ignored when checking for unstaged
changes.

bisect: fix off-by-one error in `best_bisection_sorted()`
After we have sorted the `cnt`-many commits that we have selected, we
place them into the commit list. We then set `p->next` to NULL, but as
we do so, `p` is already pointing one beyond item number `cnt`. Indeed,
we check whether `p` is NULL before dereferencing it.
This only matters if there are TREESAME-commits. Since they should be
skipped, they are not included in `cnt` and we will hit the situation
where we set `p->next` to NULL. As a result, the list will be one longer
than it should be. The last commit in the list will be one which occurs
earlier, or which shouldn't be included.
Do not update `p` the very last round in the loop. This ensures that
after the loop, `p->next` points to the remainder of the list, and we
can set it to NULL. While we're here, free that remainder to fix a
memory leak.

does, where it refers to a UNC path of the form `//server/share/`.

mingw: add experimental feature to redirect standard handles
Particularly when calling Git from applications, such as Visual Studio's
Team Explorer, it is important that stdin/stdout/stderr are closed
properly. However, when spawning processes on Windows, those handles
must be marked as inheritable if we want to use them, but that flag is a
global flag and may very well be used by other spawned processes which
then do not know to close those handles.
Let's introduce a set of environment variables (GIT_REDIRECT_STDIN and
friends) that specify paths to files, or even better, named pipes (which
are similar to Unix sockets) and that are used by the spawned Git
process. This helps work around above-mentioned issue: those named
pipes will be opened in a non-inheritable way upon startup, and no
handles are passed around (and therefore no inherited handles need to be
closed by any spawned child).
This feature shipped with Git for Windows (marked as experimental) since
v2.11.0(2), so it has seen some serious testing in the meantime.

Linux build jobs on Travis CI skip the P4 and Git LFS tests since
commit 657343a60 (travis-ci: move Travis CI code into dedicated
scripts, 2017-09-10), claiming there are no P4 or Git LFS installed.
The reason is that P4 and Git LFS binaries are not installed to a
directory in the default $PATH, but their directories are prepended to
$PATH. This worked just fine before said commit, because $PATH was
set in a scriptlet embedded in our '.travis.yml', thus its new value
was visible during the rest of the build job. However, after these
embedded scriptlets were moved into dedicated scripts executed in
separate shell processes, any variable set in one of those scripts is
only visible in that single script but not in any of the others. In
this case, 'ci/install-dependencies.sh' downloads P4 and Git LFS and
modifies $PATH, but to no effect, because 'ci/run-tests.sh' only sees
Travis CI's default $PATH.
Move adjusting $PATH to 'ci/lib-travisci.sh', which is sourced in all
other 'ci/' scripts, so all those scripts will see the updated $PATH
value.

When we replaced the old shell script based interactive rebase in
commmit 18633e1a22a6 ("rebase -i: use the rebase--helper builtin",
2017-02-09) we introduced a regression of functionality in that the
GIT_DIR would be sent to the environment of the exec command as-is.
This generally meant that it would be passed as "GIT_DIR=.git", which
causes problems for any exec command that wants to run git commands in
a subdirectory.
This isn't a very large regression, since it is not that likely that the
exec command will run a git command, and even less likely that it will
need to do so in a subdir. This regression was discovered by a build
system which uses git-describe to find the current version of the build
system, and happened to do so from the src/ sub directory of the
project.

files-backend: don't rewrite the `packed-refs` file unnecessarily
Even when we are deleting references, we needn't overwrite the
`packed-refs` file if the references that we are deleting only exist
as loose references. Implement this optimization as follows:
* Add a function `is_packed_transaction_needed()`, which checks
whether a given packed-refs transaction actually needs to be carried
out (i.e., it returns false if the transaction obviously wouldn't
have any effect). This function must be called while holding the
`packed-refs` lock to avoid races.
* Change `files_transaction_prepare()` to check whether the
packed-refs transaction is actually needed. If not, squelch it, but
continue holding the `packed-refs` lock until the end of the
transaction to avoid races.
This fixes a mild regression caused by dc39e09942 (files_ref_store:
use a transaction to update packed refs, 2017-09-08). Before that
commit, unnecessary rewrites of `packed-refs` were suppressed by
`repack_without_refs()`. But the transaction-based writing introduced
by that commit didn't perform that optimization.
Note that the pre-dc39e09942 code still had to *read* the whole
`packed-refs` file to determine that the rewrite could be skipped, so
the performance for the cases that the write could be elided was
`O(N)` in the number of packed references both before and after dc39e09942. But after that commit the constant factor increased.
This commit reimplements the optimization of eliding unnecessary
`packed-refs` rewrites. That, plus the fact that since cfa2e29c34 (packed_ref_store: get rid of the `ref_cache` entirely,
2017-03-17) we don't necessarily have to read the whole `packed-refs`
file at all, means that deletes of one or a few loose references can
now be done with `O(n lg N)` effort, where `n` is the number of loose
references being deleted and `N` is the total number of packed
references.
This commit fixes two tests in t1409.

Add lstat() error handling not only for ENOENT case.
Otherwise uninitialised 'struct stat st' variable is used later in case of
lstat() non-ENOENT failure which leads to processing of rubbish values of
file mode ('S_ISLNK(st.st_mode)' check) or size ('xsize_t(st.st_size)').
