Lots of code in Git's configure.ac doesn't follow the typical formatting,
idioms and best practices for Autoconf input files. Improve the situation.
There are probably many more similar improvements to be done, but trying
to clump all of them in a single change would make it unreviewable, so we
content ourselves with a partial improvement.
This change is just cosmetic, and should cause no semantic change.
The most relevant of the changes introduced by this patch are:
- Do not add trailing '\' characters for line continuation where they
are not truly needed.
- In several (but not all) macro calls, properly quote the arguments.
- Few cosmetic changes in spacing and comments.

Previously GIT_EDITOR was not listed in git(1) "Environment Variables" section,
which could be very confusing to users. Include it in "other" subsection along
with a link to git-var(1), since that is the page that fully describes all
places where editor can be set and also their preference order.
Also, git-var(1) did not say that hardcoded fallback 'vi' may have been changed
at build time. A user could be puzzled if 'nano' pops up even when none of the
mentioned environment vars or config.editor are set. Clarify this.
Ideally, the build system should be changed to reflect the chosen fallback
editor when creating the man pages. Not sure if that is even possible though.

it was deemed unnecessary clutter to show additions of these thousands of

Merge-recursive detects renames so that if one side modifies
"foo" and the other side moves it to "bar", the modification
is applied to "bar". However, our rename detection is based
on content analysis, it can be wrong (i.e., two files were
not intended as a rename, but just happen to have the same
or similar content).
This is quite rare if the files actually contain content,
since two unrelated files are unlikely to have exactly the
same content. However, empty files present a problem, in
that there is nothing to analyze. An uninteresting
placeholder file with zero bytes may or may not be related
to a placeholder file with another name.
The result is that adding content to an empty file may cause
confusion if the other side of a merge removed it; your
content may end up in another random placeholder file that
was added.
Let's err on the side of caution and not consider empty
files as renames. This will cause a modify/delete conflict
on the merge, which will let the user sort it out
themselves.

Our rename detection is a heuristic, matching pairs of
removed and added files with similar or identical content.
It's unlikely to be wrong when there is actual content to
compare, and we already take care not to do inexact rename
detection when there is not enough content to produce good
results.
However, we always do exact rename detection, even when the
blob is tiny or empty. It's easy to get false positives with
an empty blob, simply because it is an obvious content to
use as a boilerplate (e.g., when telling git that an empty
directory is worth tracking via an empty .gitignore).
This patch lets callers specify whether or not they are
interested in using empty files as rename sources and
destinations. The default is "yes", keeping the original
behavior. It works by detecting the empty-blob sha1 for
rename sources and destinations.
One more flexible alternative would be to allow the caller
to specify a minimum size for a blob to be "interesting" for
rename detection. But that would catch small boilerplate
files, not large ones (e.g., if you had the GPL COPYING file
in many directories).
A better alternative would be to allow a "-rename"
gitattribute to allow boilerplate files to be marked as
such. I'll leave the complexity of that solution until such
time as somebody actually wants it. The complaints we've
seen so far revolve around empty files, so let's start with
the simple thing.

Sometimes one wants to see the different between two commits that are
a long distance apart in the graph display. This is difficult to do
with the "Diff this -> selected" and "Diff selected -> this" menu
items because the need to maintain the selection means that one can't
use the find facilities or the reference list window to navigate from
one to the other.
This provides an alternative using the mark. Having found one commit,
one marks it with the "Mark this commit" menu item, then navigates to
the other commit and uses the new "Diff this -> marked commit" and/or
"Diff marked commit -> this" menu items.

Pushing a non-fast-forward update to a remote repository will result in
an error, but the hint text doesn't provide the correct resolution in
every case. Give better resolution advice in three push scenarios:
1) If you push your current branch and it triggers a non-fast-forward
error, you should merge remote changes with 'git pull' before pushing
again.
2) If you push to a shared repository others push to, and your local
tracking branches are not kept up to date, the 'matching refs' default
will generate non-fast-forward errors on outdated branches. If this is
your workflow, the 'matching refs' default is not for you. Consider
setting the 'push.default' configuration variable to 'current' or
'upstream' to ensure only your current branch is pushed.
3) If you explicitly specify a ref that is not your current branch or
push matching branches with ':', you will generate a non-fast-forward
error if any pushed branch tip is out of date. You should checkout the
offending branch and merge remote changes before pushing again.
Teach transport.c to recognize these scenarios and configure push.c
to hint for them. If 'git push's default behavior changes or we
discover more scenarios, extension is easy. Standardize on the
advice API and add three new advice variables, 'pushNonFFCurrent',
'pushNonFFDefault', and 'pushNonFFMatching'. Setting any of these
to 'false' will disable their affiliated advice. Setting
'pushNonFastForward' to false will disable all three, thus preserving the
config option for users who already set it, but guaranteeing new
users won't disable push advice accidentally.

The following only concerns systems using X and the client-side font
rendering framework from freedesktop.org. Windows and Mac OS X are
not affected.
Starting with version 8.5, Tk uses freetype and fontconfig by default
to render fonts on platforms that support it. Gitk currently defaults
to the font Helvetica for the interface and Courier for diffs, and
both unfortunately look rather bad on screen in the default
configuration on many Linux distros with anti-aliasing and poor
hinting.
It is better to default to "sans" and "monospace", which are mapped by
fontconfig to some appropriate font of the sysadmin and user's
choosing (typically Bitstream Vera Sans and Mono). The result looks
more sensible and it makes gitk feel like a well-behaved software
citizen since its fonts match other native apps.
This patch does not change the appearance of gitk for users that have
already run it, since gitk uses the remembered UI and diff font names
from ~/.gitk.

Automake's contribution guidelines suggest using "git describe" output
in commit logs to reference previous commits. By contrast, in
coreutils, I had acquired the habit of using a bare SHA1 prefix (8 hex
digits), since gitk creates clickable links for that, and not for "git
describe" output.
I prefer the readability of the full "git describe" output, yet want
to retain the gitk links, so this renders as clickable not just
SHA1-like strings, but also an SHA1-like string that is prefixed by
"-g".

Launching 'gitk -- .' or 'gitk -- ..\t' restricts the display to files
under the given directory but the file list is left empty. This is because
the path_filter function fails to match the filenames which are relative

This solves the problem by making both names fully qualified filesystem
