Starting with v1.7.12-rc0~4^2 (build: reconfigure automatically if
configure.ac changes, 2012-07-19), "config.status --recheck" is
automatically run every time the "configure" script changes. In
particular, that means the configuration procedure repeats whenever
the version number changes (since the configure script changes to
support "./configure --version" and "./configure --help"), making
bisecting painfully slow.
The intent was to make the reconfiguration process only trigger for
changes to configure.ac's logic. Tweak the Makefile rule to match
that intent by depending on configure.ac instead of configure.

"**" is adjusted to only be effective when surrounded by slashes, in
40bbee0 (wildmatch: adjust "**" behavior - 2012-10-15). Except that
the commit did it wrong:
1. when it checks for "the preceding slash unless ** is at the
beginning", it compares to wrong pointer. It should have compared
to the beginning of the pattern, not the text.
2. prev_p points to the character before "**", not the first "*". The
correct comparison must be "prev_p < pattern" or
"prev_p + 1 == pattern", not "prev_p == pattern".
3. The pattern must be surrounded by slashes unless it's at the
beginning or the end of the pattern. We do two checks: one for the
preceding slash and one the trailing slash. Both checks must be
met. The use of "||" is wrong.
This patch fixes all above.

Avoid alarming the readers by adding "-b master" to the example. A
better fix may be to arrange the bundle created in the earlier step
to record HEAD, so that it can be cloned without this workaround.

The credit lines "By" and "Via" to credit authors and committers for
their contributions on the side branch are meant as a hint to the
integrator to decide whom to mention in the log message text. After
the integrator saves the message in the editor, they are meant to go
away and that is why they are commented out.
When a merge is recorded without editing the generated message,
however, its contents do not go through the normal stripspace()
and these lines are left in the merge.
Stop producing them when we know the merge is going to be recorded
without editing, i.e. when --no-edit is given.

When testing aliases in t/t1020-subdirectory.sh use longer names so that
they're less likely to conflict with a git-* command somewhere in the
$PATH.
I have a git-ss command in my path which prevents the 'ss' alias from
being used. This command will always fail for git.git, causing the test
to fail. Even if the command succeeded, that would be a false success
for the test since the alias wasn't actually used. A longer, more
descriptive name will make it much less likely that somebody has a
command in their $PATH which will shadow the alias created for the test.
While here, use a longer name for the 'test' alias as well since that is
also short and meaningful enough to make it not unlikely that somebody
would have a command in their $PATH which will shadow that as well.

In a similar way to the previous commit, this extracts a new helper
function last_exclude_matching_path() which return the last
exclude_list element which matched, or NULL if no match was found.
is_path_excluded() becomes a wrapper around this, and just returns 0
or 1 depending on whether any matching exclude_list element was found.
This allows callers to find out _why_ a given path was excluded,
rather than just whether it was or not, paving the way for a new git
sub-command which allows users to test their exclude lists from the
command line.

The excluded function uses a new helper function called
last_exclude_matching_from_list() to perform the inner loop over all of
the exclude patterns. The helper just tells us whether the path is
included, excluded, or undecided.
However, it may be useful to know _which_ pattern was triggered. So
let's pass out the entire exclude match, which contains the status
information we were already passing out.
Further patches can make use of this.

In the distant past, the order things were documented was
'Invocation', 'Commands', 'Capabilities', ...
Then it was decided that before giving a list of Commands, there
should be an overall description of the 'Input format', which was
a wise decision. However, this description was put as the very
first thing, with the rationale that any implementor would want
to know that first.
However, it seems an implementor would actually first need to
know how the remote helper will be invoked, so moving
'Invocation' to the front again seems logical. Moreover, we now
don't switch from discussing the input format to the invocation
style and then back to input related stuff.
