f772c34ce0 rebase -X: do not clobber strategy
If any strategy options are passed to -X, the strategy will always be
set to 'recursive'. According to the documentation, it should default to
'recursive' if it is not set, but it should be possible to set it to
other values.

This fixes a regression introduced in v1.7.3-rc0~67^2 (2010-07-29).

60aa9cf8f3 Documentation: document show -s
Git's diff machinery has supported a -s (silence diff output) option
as far back as v0.99~900 (Silent flag for show-diff, 2005-04-13), but
the option is only advertised in an odd corner of the git diff-tree
manual.

The main use is to retrieve basic metadata about a commit:

	git show -s rev

Explain this in the 'git log' manual and provide an example in the
'git show' examples section.  This is kind of a cop-out, since it
would be more useful to explain it in the 'git show' manual proper,
which says:

	The command takes options applicable to the git
	diff-tree command to control how the changes the
	commit introduces are shown.

	This manual page describes only the most frequently
	used options.

Fixing that is a larger task for another day.

ae3cdfe112 dir.c: fix EXC_FLAG_MUSTBEDIR match in sparse checkout
Commit c84de70 (excluded_1(): support exclude files in index -
2009-08-20) tries to work around the fact that there is no
directory/file information in index entries, therefore
EXC_FLAG_MUSTBEDIR match would fail.

b90d9b8895 work around buggy S_ISxxx(m) implementations
There are buggy implementations of S_ISxxx(m) macros on some platforms
(e.g. NetBSD).  The issue is that NetBSD doesn't take care to wrap its
macro arguments in parentheses, so on Linux and sane systems we have
S_ISREG(m) defined as something like:

    (((m) & S_IFMT) == S_IFREG)

But on NetBSD:

    ((m & _S_IFMT) == _S_IFREG)

Since a caller in builtin/diff.c called our macro as `S_IFREG | 0644'
this bug introduced a logic error on NetBSD, since the precedence of
bit-wise & is higher than | in C.

349362cc20 xdiff: cast arguments for ctype functions to unsigned char
The ctype functions isspace(), isalnum(), et al take an integer
argument representing an unsigned character, or -1 for EOF.  On
platforms with a signed char, it is unsafe to pass a char to them
without casting it to unsigned char first.

Most of git is already shielded against this by the ctype
implementation in git-compat-util.h, but xdiff, which uses libc
ctype.h, ought to be fixed.

06f3549d71 setup: make sure git dir path is in a permanent buffer
If setup_git_env() is run before the usual repository discovery
sequence and .git is a file with the text

	gitdir: <path>

(with <path> any string) then the in-core git_dir variable is set to
the result of converting <path> to an absolute path using
make_absolute_path().

Unfortunately make_absolute_path() returns its result in a static
buffer that is overwritten by later calls.  Such a call could cause
later accesses to git_dir (from git_pathdup(), for example) to read
the wrong path, leaving git very confused.

It is not obvious whether any existing code in git will trigger the
problem, but in any case, it is worth a few dozen bytes to copy the
return value from make_absolute_path() for some added peace of mind.
