Although 1eb07d8 (worktree: add: auto-vivify new branch when
<branch> is omitted, 2015-07-06) updated the documentation when
<branch> became optional, it neglected to update the in-code
usage message. Fix this oversight.

This does not make a difference within the context of "git mailinfo"
that runs once and exits, as flushing and closing would happen upon
process termination. It however will matter when we eventually make
it callable as an API function.
Besides, cleaning after yourself once you are done is a good hygiene.

We pre-increment the pointer that we will use to store something at,
so the pointer is already beyond the end of the array if it points

In olden days we might have wanted to behave differently in
decode_header() if the header line was encoded with RFC2047, but we
apparently do not do so, hence this helper function can go, together
with its return value.

The called function checks if the second parameter is either a NULL
or an empty string at the very beginning and returns without doing

In b7cc53e9 (tag.c: use 'ref-filter' APIs, 2015-09-11) we port tag.c
to use the ref-filter APIs for filtering and printing refs. In
ref-filter we have two implementations for filtering refs when the
'--contains' option is used.
Although they do the same thing, one is optimized for filtering
branches and the other for tags (borrowed from branch.c and tag.c
respectively) and the 'filter->with_commit_tag_algo' bit decides
which algorithm must be used. We should unify these.
When we ported tag.c to use ref-filter APIs we missed out on setting
the 'filter->with_commit_tag_algo' bit. As reported by Jerry
Snitselaar, this causes "git tag --contains" to work way slower than
expected, fix this by setting 'filter->with_commit_tag_algo' in
tag.c before calling 'filter_refs()'.

The synopsys text and the usage string of subcommands that read list
of things from the standard input are often shown like this:
git gostak [--distim] < <list-of-doshes>
This is problematic in a number of ways:
* The way to use these commands is more often to feed them the
output from another command, not feed them from a file.
* Manual pages outside Git, commands that operate on the data read
from the standard input, e.g "sort", "grep", "sed", etc., are not
described with such a "< redirection-from-file" in their synopsys
text. Our doing so introduces inconsistency.
* We do not insist on where the output should go, by saying
git gostak [--distim] < <list-of-doshes> > <output>
* As it is our convention to enclose placeholders inside <braket>,
the redirection operator followed by a placeholder filename
becomes very hard to read, both in the documentation and in the
help text.
Let's clean them all up, after making sure that the documentation
clearly describes the modes that take information from the standard
input and what kind of things are expected on the input.

"git gc" is safe to run anytime only because it has the built-in

Allocation related functions and stdio are unsafe things to call

The ssh transport, just like any other transport over the network,

This function is also used in other builtins than stripspace, so it
makes sense to have it in a more generic place. Since it operates
on an strbuf and the function is declared in strbuf.h, move it to
strbuf.c and add the corresponding prefix to its name, just like
other API functions in the strbuf_* family.
Also switch all current users of stripspace() to the new function
name and keep a temporary wrapper inline function for any topic
branches still using stripspace().
