Commit 07924d4 (diff: Introduce --diff-algorithm command line option
2013-01-16) added diff-algorithm as a parameter to the recursive merge
strategy but did not document it. Do so.

Since command line options have higher priority than config file
variables and taking previous commit into account, we need a way
how to specify myers algorithm on command line. However,
inventing `--myers` is not the right answer. We need far more
general option, and that is `--diff-algorithm`.

Some users or projects prefer different algorithms over others, e.g.
patience over myers or similar. However, specifying appropriate
argument every time diff is to be used is impractical. Moreover,
creating an alias doesn't play nicely with other tools based on diff
(git-show for instance). Hence, a configuration variable which is able
to set specific algorithm is needed. For now, these four values are
accepted: 'myers' (which has the same effect as not setting the config
variable at all), 'minimal', 'patience' and 'histogram'.

Even though --patience was already there, we missed --minimal and
--histogram for some reason.

Improve compatibility of our zip output to fill uncompressed size
in the header, which we can do without seeking back (even though it
should not be necessary).

Update zip tests to skip some that cannot be handled on platform
unzip.

The internal logic had to deal with two representations of a death
of a child process by a signal.

Teach "format-patch" to prefix v4- to its output files for the

"git merge" started calling prepare-commit-msg hook like "git
commit" does some time ago, but forgot to pay attention to the exit

SubmittingPatches: give list and maintainer addresses

When attempting to read the XDG-style $HOME/.config/git/config and
finding that $HOME/.config/git is a file, we gave a wrong error

The attribute mechanism didn't allow limiting attributes to be
applied to only a single directory itself with "path/" like the
exclude mechanism does.

Add directory pattern matching to attributes
"git fetch --mirror" and fetch that uses other forms of refspec with
wildcard used to attempt to update a symbolic ref that match the
wildcard on the receiving end, which made little sense (the real ref
that is pointed at by the symbolic ref would be updated anyway).
Symbolic refs no longer are affected by such a fetch.
* jc/fetch-ignore-symref:
fetch: ignore wildcarded refspecs that update local symbolic refs
The way "git svn" asked for password using SSH_ASKPASS and
GIT_ASKPASS was not in line with the rest of the system.

perl/Git.pm: Honor SSH_ASKPASS as fallback if GIT_ASKPASS is not set
git-svn, perl/Git.pm: add central method for prompting passwords
When make is run, the python scripts are created from *.py files that
are changed to use the python given by PYTHON_PATH. And PYTHON_PATH
is set by default to /usr/bin/python on Linux.
However, next time make is run with a different value in PYTHON_PATH,
we failed to regenerate these scripts.
