This patch clarifies the meaning of the branch.*.merge option.
Previously, if branch.*.merge was specified but did not match any
ref, the message "No changes." was not really helpful regarding
the misconfiguration. This patch adds a warning for this.

At some point between v5.6 and 5.8 Perl started to assume its input,
output and filehandles are UTF-8. This breaks the counting of bytes
for the CVS protocol, resulting in the client expecting less data
than we actually send, and storing truncated files.

Currently the treshold is 5000. The likelihood of this value to ever be
crossed for a single push is really small making it not really useful.
The optimal treshold for a pure space saving on a filesystem with 4kb
blocks is 3. However this is likely to create many small packs
concentrating a large number of files in a single directory compared to
the same objects which are spread over 256 directories when loose. This
means we would need 512 objects per pack on average to approximagte the
same directory cost (a pack has 2 files because of the index).
But 512 is a really high value just like 5000 since most pushes are
unlikely to have that many objects. So let's try with a value of 100
which should have a good balance between small pushes going to be
exploded into loose objects and large pushes kept as whole packs.
This is not a replacement for periodic repacks of course.

Modify cvs-migration.txt so it explains first how to develop against a
shared repository, then how to set up a shared repository, then how to
import a repository from cvs. Though this seems chronologically
backwards, it's still readable in this order, and it puts the more
commonly needed material closer to the front.
Remove the annotate/pickaxe section; perhaps it can find a place elsewhere
in the future. Remove most of the "why git is better than cvs" stuff from
the introduction.
Add some minor clarifications, including two that have come up several
times on the mailing list:
1. Recommend committing any changes before running pull.
2. Note that changes must be commited before they can be pushed.

An earlier commit a9cb3c6e changed git-commit to use the
contents of MERGE_MSG even when we do not have MERGE_HEAD (the
rationale is in its log message).
However, the change tricks the following sequence to include a
merge message in a completely unrelated commit:
$ git pull somewhere
: oops, the conflicts are too much. forget it.
$ git reset --hard
: work work work
$ git commit
To fix this confusion, this patch makes "git reset" to remove
the leftover MERGE_MSG that was prepared when the user abandoned
the merge.

With making --use-separate-remote default when creating non-bare
clone, there was need for the flag which would turn off this behavior.
It was called --use-immingled-remote.
Immingle means to blend, to combine into one, to intermingle, but it
is a bit obscure word. I think it would be better to use simply
--no-separate-remote as the opposite to --use-separate-remote
option to git clone.

SVN is not entirely consistent in returning log information and
sometimes returns file information when adding subdirectories,
and sometimes it does not (only returning information about the
directory that was added). This caused git-svn to occasionally
add a file to the list of files to be fetched twice. Now we
change the data structure to be hash to avoid repeated fetches.
As of now (in master), this only affects repositories fetched
without deltas enabled (file://, and when manually overriden
with GIT_SVN_DELTA_FETCH=0); so this bug mainly affects users of
1.4.4.1 and maint.
