Documentation: Improve documentation for git-imap-send(1)
Change the description to be similar to that used for git-send-email(1) to
give a better description of what the tool can be used for and sound more
user-friendly.
Document the configuration variables used by git-imap-send, split the
example into tunnel and direct examples. Rephrase other parts of the
git-imap-send documentation to use better grammar and to be clearer.

The previous one sqeezed unnecessary whitespaces and joined function type
and name in the definition split across lines. This patch further fixes
many remaining style issues:
- We are not particularly fond of typedef to hide the underlying struct
definitions.
- Asterisk comes next variable, i.e. "type *var", not "type * var" nor
"type* var".
- Casting to pointer to a type is "(type *)", not "(type*)".
- An open brace comes on the same line as closing parenthesis of "if (...)"
condition; "else" comes on the same line as closing brace of its
corresponding "if (...) {".
- Avoid single liner "if (...) <stmt>;"; they should be on two separate
lines.
Subversion repositories often require files to have properties such as
svn:mime-type and svn:eol-style set when they are added. Users
typically set these properties automatically using the SVN auto-props
feature with 'svn add'. This commit teaches dcommit to look at the user
SVN configuration and apply matching auto-props entries for files added
by a diff as it is applied to the SVN remote.

Since the exec-path on Windows is derived from the program invocation path,
we must ensure that argv[0] always has a path. Unfortunately, if a program
is invoked from CMD, argv[0] has no path. But on the other hand, the
C runtime offers a global variable, _pgmptr, that always has the full path
to the program. We hook into main() with a preprocessor macro, where we
replace argv[0].

Allow add_path() to add non-existent directories to the path
This function had used make_absolute_path(); but this function dies if
the directory that contains the entry whose relative path was supplied in
the argument does not exist. This is a problem if the argument is, for
example, "../libexec/git-core", and that "../libexec" does not exist.
Since the resolution of symbolic links is not required for elements in
PATH, we can fall back to using make_nonrelative_path(), which simply
prepends $PWD to the path.
We have to move make_nonrelative_path() alongside make_absolute_path() in
abspath.c so that git-shell can be linked. See 5b8e6f85f.

Allow the built-in exec path to be relative to the command invocation path
If GIT_EXEC_PATH (the macro that is defined in the Makefile) is relative,
it is interpreted relative to the command's invocation path, which usually
is $(bindir).
The Makefile rules were written with the assumption that $(gitexecdir) is
an absolute path. We introduce a separate variable that names the
(absolute) installation directory.

Fix relative built-in paths to be relative to the command invocation
$(gitexecdir) (as defined in the Makefile) has gained another path
component, but the relative paths in the MINGW section of the Makefile,
which are interpreted relative to it, do not account for it.
Instead of adding another ../ in front of the path, we change the code that
constructs the absolute paths to do it relative to the command's directory,
which is essentially $(bindir). We do it this way because we will also
allow a relative $(gitexecdir) later.

We will need the command invocation path in system_path(). This path was
passed to setup_path(), but system_path() can be called earlier, for
example via:
main
commit_pager_choice
setup_pager
git_config
git_etc_gitconfig
system_path
Therefore, we introduce git_set_argv0_path() and call it as soon as
possible.

Makefile: Normalize $(bindir) and $(gitexecdir) before comparing
The install target needs to check whether the user has opted to make
$(gitexecdir) equal to $(bindir). It did so by a straight string
comparison. Since we are going to allow a relative $(gitexecdir), we have
to normalize paths before comparison, which we do with $(cd there && pwd).
The normalized paths are stored in shell variables. These we can now
reuse in the subsequent install statements, which conveniently shortens
the lines a bit.

Makefile: Do not install a copy of 'git' in $(gitexecdir)
There is already a copy in $(bindir). A subsequent patch will enable git
to derive the exec-path from its invocation path. If git is invoked
recursively, the first invocation puts the exec-path into PATH, so that
the recursive invocation would find the instance in the exec-path. This
second instance would again try to derive an exec-path from its invocation
path, but would base its result on the wrong "bindir".
We do install the copy of git first, but remove it later, so that we can
use it as the source of the hardlinks for the builtins.

Makefile records paths to a few programs in GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS file. These
paths need to be quoted twice: once to protect specials from the shell
that runs the generated GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS file, and again to protect them
(and the first level of quoting itself) from the shell that runs the
"echo" inside the Makefile.
You can test this by trying:
$ ln -s /bin/tar "$HOME/Tes' program/tar"
$ make TAR="$HOME/Tes' program/tar" test
When index-pack completes a thin pack it appends objects to the pack.
Since the commit 92392b4(index-pack: Honor core.deltaBaseCacheLimit when
resolving deltas) such an object can be pruned in case of memory
pressure, and will be read back again by get_data_from_pack(). For this
to work, the fields in object_entry structure need to be initialized
properly.

The patch is twofold: it moves the option consistency checks just under
the parse_options call so that it doesn't get in the way of the tree
reference vs. pathspecs desambiguation.
The other part rewrites the way to understand arguments so that when
git-checkout fails it does with an understandable message. Compared to the
previous behavior we now have:
- a better error message when doing:
git checkout <blob reference> --
now complains about the reference not pointing to a tree, instead of
things like:
error: pathspec <blob reference> did not match any file(s) known to git.
error: pathspec '--' did not match any file(s) known to git.
- a better error message when doing:
git checkout <path> --
It now complains about <path> not being a reference instead of the
completely obscure:
error: pathspec '--' did not match any file(s) known to git.
- an error when -- wasn't used, and the first argument is ambiguous
(i.e. can be interpreted as both ref and as path).

builtin-branch.c: optimize --merged and --no-merged
"git branch --no-merged $commit" used to compute the merge base between
the tip of each and every branch with the named $commit, but this was
wasteful when you have many branches. Inside append_ref() we literally
ran has_commit() between the tip of the branch and the merge_filter_ref.
Instead, we can let the revision machinery traverse the history as if we
are running:
$ git rev-list --branches --not $commit
by queueing the tips of branches we encounter as positive refs (this
mimicks the "--branches" option in the above command line) and then
appending the merge_filter_ref commit as a negative one, and finally
calling prepare_revision_walk() to limit the list..
After the traversal is done, branch tips that are reachable from $commit
are painted UNINTERESTING; they are already fully contained in $commit
(i.e. --merged). Tips that are not painted UNINTERESTING still have
commits that are not reachable from $commit, thus "--no-merged" will show
them.

where they were created by "git branch test-$i master~$i":

rebase -i: When an 'edit' stops, mention the commit
In a rebase session where more than one commit is to be 'edit'ed, and the
user spends considerable time to 'edit' a commit, it is easy to forget what
one wanted to 'edit' at the individual commits. It would be helpful to see
at which commit the rebase stopped.
Incidentally, if the rebase stopped due to merge conflicts or other errors,
the commit was already reported ("Could not apply $sha1..."), but when
rebase stopped after successfully applying an "edit" commit, it would not
mention it. With this change the commit is reported.

sort_in_topological_order(): avoid setting a commit flag
We used to set the TOPOSORT flag of commits during the topological
sorting, but we can just as well use the member "indegree" for it:
indegree is now incremented by 1 in the cases where the commit used
to have the TOPOSORT flag.
This is the same behavior as before, since indegree could not be
non-zero when TOPOSORT was unset.
Incidentally, this fixes the bug in show-branch where the 8th column
was not shown: show-branch sorts the commits in topological order,
assuming that all the commit flags are available for show-branch's
private matters.
But this was not true: TOPOSORT was identical to the flag corresponding
to the 8th ref. So the flags for the 8th column were unset by the
topological sorting.

"git update-index --refresh", "git reset" and "git add --refresh" have
reported paths that have local modifications as "needs update" since the
beginning of git.
Although this is logically correct in that you need to update the index at
that path before you can commit that change, it is now becoming more and
more clear, especially with the continuous push for user friendliness
since 1.5.0 series, that the message is suboptimal. After all, the change
may be something the user might want to get rid of, and "updating" would
be absolutely a wrong thing to do if that is the case.
I prepared two alternatives to solve this. Both aim to reword the message
to more neutral "locally modified".
This patch is a more intrusive variant that changes the message for only
Porcelain commands ("add" and "reset") while keeping the plumbing
"update-index" intact.
This in the short term will break on platforms that use compat implemenations
that call outside compat layer, but that is exactly what we want. To give
incentive to fix things for people who are affected and more importantly have
