This patch adds an asciidoc version of the "Fighting regressions with
git bisect" article that the author wrote for the Linux-Kongress
2009 (http://www.linux-kongress.org/2009).
This paper might be interesting to people who want to learn as much as
possible about "git bisect" from a single document.
The slides of the related presentation are available at:
http://www.linux-kongress.org/2009/slides/fighting_regressions_with_git_bisect_christian_couder.pdf
But the Linux Kongress people will not publish this paper online because
they print the papers on their UpTimes magazine
(http://www.lob.de/isbn/978-3-86541-358-1). But they don't take away the
rights of the author (which is very nice), so I have the right to publish
it.

"commit -s" used to add an empty line before adding S-o-b line only when
the last line of the existing log message is not another S-o-b line, but
c1e01b0 (commit: More generous accepting of RFC-2822 footer lines.,
2009-10-28) introduced logic to omit this empty line when the message ends
with a run of "footer" lines, to cover S-o-b's friends, e.g. Acked-by.
However, the logic was overzealous and missed one corner case. A message
that consists of a single line that begins with Token + colon, it can be
mistaken as a S-o-b's friend. We do want an empty line in such a case.

Let's keep thread stuff close together if possible. And in this case,
this even reduces the #ifdef noise, and allows for skipping the
autodetection altogether if delta search is not needed (like with a pure
clone).

It's okay to use the curl helper without a local repository, so long
as you don't use "fetch". There aren't any git programs that would try
to use it, and it doesn't make sense to try it (since there's nowhere
to write the results), but we may as well be clear.

cmd_ls_remote() was calling transport_get() with a NULL remote and a
non-NULL url in the case where it was run outside a git
repository. This involved a bunch of ill-tested special
cases. Instead, simply get the struct remote for the URL with
remote_get(), which works fine outside a git repository, and can also
take global options into account.
This fixes a tiny and obscure bug where "git ls-remote" without a repo
didn't support global url.*.insteadOf, even though "git clone" and
"git ls-remote" in any repo did.
Also, enforce that all callers provide a struct remote to transport_get().

This reverts commit 0cc5691a8b.
There is not enough justification for doing this. We do not update
things in .git/branches and .git/remotes anymore, but still do read
information from there and will keep doing so.
Besides, this breaks quite a lot of tests in t55?? series.

If git clone is given more than two non-option arguments, it
silently throws away all but the first one. Complain instead.
Discovered by comparing the new builtin clone to the old

'git commit -s' will insert a blank line before the Signed-off-by
line at the end of the message, unless this last line is a
Signed-off-by line itself. Common use has other trailing lines
at the ends of commit text, in the style of RFC2822 headers.
Be more generous in considering lines to be part of this footer.
If the last paragraph of the commit message reasonably resembles
RFC-2822 formatted lines, don't insert that blank line.
The new Signed-off-by line is still only suppressed when the
author's existing Signed-off-by is the last line of the message.

Although 'git help -a' actually doesn't need to be run inside a git
repository and uses no repository-specific information, it looks for a git
directory. On 'git <TAB><TAB>' the bash completion runs 'git help -a' and
unnecessary searching for a git directory can be annoying in auto-mount
environments. With this commit, 'git help' no longer searches for a
repository when run with the -a option.

When building Git with MSVC on Windows, directories named after the Git alias
are created for the output files, e.g. there is a "git-merge-index" directory
next to the "git-merge-index.exe" executable in the build root. Previously,
"make all" just checked if "git-merge-index" and "git-merge-index.exe" are the
same file, and if not, tried to remove "git-merge-index". This fails in the
case of "git-merge-index" being a directory, which is why this is checked now.

Currently, when there is an invalid command, the rest of the line is
still treated as if the command had been valid, i.e. rebase -i attempts
to produce a patch, using the next argument as a SHA1 name. If there is
no next argument or an invalid one, very confusing error messages
appear (the line was '.'; path to git-rebase-todo substituted):
Unknown command: .
fatal: ambiguous argument 'Please fix this in the file $somefile.':
unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions
fatal: Not a valid object name Please fix this in the file $somefile.
fatal: bad revision 'Please fix this in the file $somefile.'
Instead, verify the validity of the remaining line and error out earlier
if necessary.

This feature is long overdue; convert SVN's merge representation to git's
as revisions are imported. This works by converting the list of revisions
in each line of the svn:mergeinfo into git revision ranges, and then
checking the latest of each of these revision ranges for A) being new and
B) now being completely merged.

SVK is a simple case to start with, as its idea of merge parents
matches git's one. When a svk:merge ticket is encountered, check each
of the listed merged revisions to see if they are in the history of
this commit; if not, then we have encountered a merge - record it.
