Foreign interfaces, subsystems and ports.
* On MacOS X, we detected if the filesystem needs the "pre-composed
unicode strings" workaround, but did not automatically enable it.
Now we do.
* remote-hg remote helper misbehaved when interacting with a local Hg
repository relative to the home directory, e.g. "clone hg::~/there".

* Earlier we started rejecting an attempt to add 0{40} object name to
the index and to tree objects, but it sometimes is necessary to

broken tree objects. "filter-branch" can again be used to to do

* "git ls-files -k" needs to crawl only the part of the working tree
that may overlap the paths in the index to find killed files, but
