Fixes since v1.7.7
------------------
* On some BSD systems, adding +s bit on directories is detrimental
(it is not necessary on BSD to begin with). The installation
procedure has been updated to take this into account.
* After incorrectly written third-party tools store a tag object in
HEAD, git diagnosed it as a repository corruption and refused to
proceed in order to avoid spreading the damage. We now gracefully
recover from such a situation by pretending as if the commit that
is pointed at by the tag were in HEAD.
* "git apply --whitespace=error" did not bother to report the exact
line number in the patch that introduced new blank lines at the end
of the file.
* "git apply --index" did not check corrupted patch.
* "git checkout $tree $directory/" resurrected paths locally removed or
modified only in the working tree in $directory/ that did not appear
in $directory of the given $tree. They should have been kept intact.
* "git diff $tree $path" used to apply the pathspec at the output stage,
reading the whole tree, wasting resources.
