* Allow t/perf framework to use the features from the most recent
version of Git even when testing an older installed version.
* The commands in the "log/diff" family have had an FILE* pointer in the
data structure they pass around for a long time, but some codepaths
used to always write to the standard output. As a preparatory step
to make "git format-patch" available to the internal callers, these
codepaths have been updated to consistently write into that FILE*
instead.
* Conversion from unsigned char sha1[20] to struct object_id
continues.
* Improve the look of the way "git fetch" reports what happened to
each ref that was fetched.
(merge bc437d1 nd/fetch-ref-summary later to maint).
* The .c/.h sources are marked as such in our .gitattributes file so
that "git diff -W" and friends would work better.
(merge e82675a rs/help-c-source-with-gitattributes later to maint).
* Code clean-up to avoid using a variable string that compilers may
feel untrustable as printf-style format given to write_file()
helper function.
* "git p4" used a location outside $GIT_DIR/refs/ to place its
temporary branches, which has been moved to refs/git-p4-tmp/.

(merge b8e47d1 nd/ita-cleanup later to maint).
* "git blame -M" missed a single line that was moved within the file.
(merge 17a07e2 dk/blame-move-no-reason-for-1-line-context later to maint).
* Fix recently introduced codepaths that are involved in parallel
submodule operations, which gave up on reading too early, and
could have wasted CPU while attempting to write under a corner
case condition.
(merge d751dd1 sb/submodule-parallel-fetch later to maint).
* "git grep -i" has been taught to fold case in non-ascii locales
correctly.
(merge 695f95b nd/icase later to maint).
* A test that unconditionally used "mktemp" learned that the command
is not necessarily available everywhere.
(merge c578a09 ak/lazy-prereq-mktemp later to maint).
* There are certain house-keeping tasks that need to be performed at
the very beginning of any Git program, and programs that are not
built-in commands had to do them exactly the same way as "git"
potty does. It was easy to make mistakes in one-off standalone
programs (like test helpers). A common "main()" function that
calls cmd_main() of individual program has been introduced to
make it harder to make mistakes.
(merge de61ceb jk/common-main later to maint).
* The test framework learned a new helper test_match_signal to
check an exit code from getting killed by an expected signal.
(merge 03c39b3 jk/test-match-signal later to maint).
* General code clean-up around a helper function to write a
single-liner to a file.
(merge 7eb6e10 jk/write-file later to maint).
* One part of "git am" had an oddball helper function that called
stuff from outside "his" as opposed to calling what we have "ours",
which was not gender-neutral and also inconsistent with the rest of
the system where outside stuff is usuall called "theirs" in
contrast to "ours".
