In "git log --decorate", you would see the commit header like this:
commit ... (HEAD, jc/decorate-leaky-separator-color)
where "commit ... (" is painted in color.diff.commit, "HEAD" in
color.decorate.head, ", " in color.diff.commit, the branch name in
color.decorate.branch and then closing ")" in color.diff.commit.
If you wanted to paint the HEAD and local branch name in the same
color as the body text (perhaps because cyan and green are too faint
on a black-on-white terminal to be readable), you would not want to
have to say
[color "decorate"]
head = black
branch = black
because that you would not be able to reuse same configuration on a
white-on-black terminal. You would naively expect
[color "decorate"]
head = normal
branch = normal
to work, but unfortunately it does not. It paints the string "HEAD"
and the branch name in the same color as the opening parenthesis or
comma between the decoration elements. This is because the code
forgets to reset the color after printing the "prefix" in its own
color.
It theoretically is possible that some people were expecting and
relying on that the attribute set as the "diff.commit" color, which
is used to draw these opening parenthesis and inter-item comma, is
inherited by the drawing of branch names, but it is not how the
coloring works everywhere else.

A line can be continued via a backquote-LF and can be chomped at a
comment character. But that is not specific to string-typed values.
It is common to all, just like unquoted leading and trailing
whitespaces are stripped and inter-word spacing are retained.
Move the description around and desribe these structural rules
first, then introduce the double-quote facility as a way to override
them, and finally mention various types of values.
Note that these structural rules only apply to the value part of the
configuration file. E.g.
[aSection] \
name \
= value
does not work, because the rules kick in only after seeing "name =".
Both the original and the updated text are phrased in an awkward way
by singling out the "value" part of the line because of this.

Section names and variable names are both case-insensitive, but one
is described as "not case sensitive". Use "case-insensitive" for
both.
Instead of saying "... have to be escaped" without telling what that
escaping achieves, state it in a more positive way, i.e. "... can be
included by escaping".

Since b19138b (git-svn: Make it incrementally faster by minimizing temp
files, v1.6.0), git-svn has been using the Git.pm temp_acquire and
temp_release mechanism to avoid unnecessary temp file churn and provide
a speed boost.
However, that change introduced a call to temp_acquire inside the
Git::SVN::Fetcher::close_file function for an 'svn_hash' temp file.
Because an SVN::Pool is active at the time this function is called, if
the Git::temp_acquire function ends up actually creating a new
FileHandle for the temp file (which it will the first time it's called
with the name 'svn_hash') that FileHandle will end up in the SVN::Pool
and should that pool have SVN::Pool::clear called on it that FileHandle
will be closed out from under Git::temp_acquire.
Since the only call site to Git::temp_acquire with the name 'svn_hash'
is inside the close_file function, if an 'svn_hash' temp file is ever
created its FileHandle is guaranteed to be created in the active
SVN::Pool.
This has not been a problem in the past because the SVN::Pool was not
being cleared. However, since dfa72fdb (git-svn: reload RA every
log-window-size, v2.2.0) the pool has been getting cleared periodically
at which point the FileHandle for the 'svn_hash' temp file gets closed.
Any subsequent calls to Git::temp_acquire for 'svn_hash', however,
succeed without creating/opening a new temporary file since it still has
the now invalid FileHandle in its cache. Callers that then attempt to
use that FileHandle fail with an error.
We avoid this problem by making sure the 'svn_hash' temp file is created
in the same place the 'svn_delta_...' and 'git_blob_...' temp files are
(and then temp_release'd) so that it can be safely used inside the
close_file function without having its FileHandle end up in an SVN::Pool
that gets cleared.
Additionally the Git.pm cat_blob function creates a bidirectional pipe
FileHandle using the IPC::Open2::open2 function. If that handle is
created too late, it also gets caught up in the SVN::Pool and incorrectly
closed by the SVN::Pool::clear call. But this only seems to happen with
more recent versions of Perl and svn.
To avoid this problem we add an explicit call to _open_cat_blob_if_needed
before the first call to SVN::Pool->new_default to make sure the open2
handle does not end up in the SVN::Pool.

git svn uses POSIX::strftime('%s', $sec, $min, ...) to make unix epoch time.
But lowercase %s formatting character is a GNU extention. This causes problem
in git svn fetch --localtime on non-glibc systems, such as msys or cygwin.
Using Time::Local::timelocal($sec, $min, ...) fixes it.

Notes:
lowercase %s format character in strftime is a GNU extension and not widely supported.
POSIX::strftime affected by underlying crt's strftime because POSIX::strftime just calls crt's one.
Time::Local is good function to replace POSIX::strftime because it's a perl core module function.
Document about Time::Local.
