"Modifying" an old commit by checking it out, --amend'ing it, then

The generated user manual is rather hard to read thanks to the lack of
the css that's supposed to be included from docbook-xsl.css.
I'm totally ignorant of the toolchain; grubbing through xmlto and
related scripts, the easiest way I could find to ensure that the
generated html links to the stylesheet is by calling xsltproc directly.
Maybe there's some better way.

The earlier commit to read from stdin was full of problems, and
this corrects them.
- The mode bits should have been set to satisify S_ISREG(); we
forgot to the S_IFREG bits and hardcoded 0644;
- We did not give escape hatch to name a path whose name is
really "-". Allow users to say "./-" for that;
- Use of xread() was not prepared to see short read (e.g. reading
from tty) nor handing read errors.

When core.symlinks is false, and a merge of symbolic links had conflicts,
the merge result is left as a file in the working directory. A decision
must be made whether the file is treated as a regular file or as a

all merge parents were also symbolic links.

This results in the above warnings from the return statement in

Some file systems that can host git repositories and their working copies
do not support symbolic links. But then if the repository contains a symbolic
link, it is impossible to check out the working copy.
This patch enables partial support of symbolic links so that it is possible
to check out a working copy on such a file system. A new flag
core.symlinks (which is true by default) can be set to false to indicate
that the filesystem does not support symbolic links. In this case, symbolic
links that exist in the trees are checked out as small plain files, and
checking in modifications of these files preserve the symlink property in
the database (as long as an entry exists in the index).
Of course, this does not magically make symbolic links work on such defective
file systems; hence, this solution does not help if the working copy relies
on that an entry is a real symbolic link.
