7fe08af485 Documentation: convert uses of git-link macro to gitlink
There isn't and never was such a macro; all uses are typos.

4812a93a8c pack-objects: check pack.window for default window size
For some repositories, deltas simply don't make sense. One can disable
them for git-repack by adding --window, but git-push insists on making
the deltas which can be very CPU-intensive for little benefit.

ce1a79b6a7 tar-tree: add the "tar.umask" config option
By default, git-tar-tree(1) sets file and directories modes to 0666
or 0777. While this is both useful and acceptable for projects such
as the Linux Kernel, it might be excessive for other projects. With
this variable, it becomes possible to tell git-tar-tree(1) to apply
a specific umask to the modes above. The special value "user"
indicates that the user's current umask will be used. This should be
enough for most projects, as it will lead to the same permissions as
git-checkout(1) would use. The default value remains 0, which means
world read-write.

93821bd97a sha1_file: add the ability to parse objects in "pack file format"
The pack-file format is slightly different from the traditional git
object format, in that it has a much denser binary header encoding.
The traditional format uses an ASCII string with type and length
information, which is somewhat wasteful.

A new object format starts with uncompressed binary header
followed by compressed payload -- this will allow us later to
copy the payload straight to packfiles.

Obviously they cannot be read by older versions of git, so for
now new object files are created with the traditional format.
core.legacyheaders configuration item, when set to false makes
the code write in new format for people to experiment with.

b68ea12e30 diff.c: respect diff.renames config option
diff.renames is mentioned several times in the documentation,
but to my surprise it didn't do anything before this patch.

Also add the --no-renames option to override this from the
command-line.

12f6c308d5 Make zlib compression level configurable, and change default.
With the change in default, "git add ." on kernel dir is about
twice as fast as before, with only minimal (0.5%) change in
object size. The speed difference is even more noticeable
when committing large files, which is now up to 8 times faster.

The configurability is through setting core.compression = [-1..9]
which maps to the zlib constants; -1 is the default, 0 is no
compression, and 1..9 are various speed/size tradeoffs, 9
being slowest.

6de08ae688 Log ref updates to logs/refs/<ref>
If config parameter core.logAllRefUpdates is true or the log
file already exists then append a line to ".git/logs/refs/<ref>"
whenever git-update-ref <ref> is executed.  Each log line contains
the following information:

  oldsha1 <SP> newsha1 <SP> committer <LF>

where committer is the current user, date, time and timezone in
the standard GIT ident format.  If the caller is unable to append
to the log file then git-update-ref will fail without updating <ref>.

An optional message may be included in the log line with the -m flag.

1ab661ddb7 Document the configuration file
This patch adds a Documentation/config.txt file included by git-repo-config
and currently aggregating hopefully all the available git plumbing / core
porcelain configuration variables, as well as briefly describing the format.

It also updates an outdated bit of the example in git-repo-config(1).
