The refspec format description was a mix of regexp and BNF, making it
very difficult to read. The format was also wrong: it did not show
that each part of a refspec is optional in different situations.
Rather than having a confusing grammar, just present the format in
informal prose.

This will be useful when somebody want to checkout something partially from
repository with some non-standart layout or exclude some files from it.
Example: repository has structure /module-{a,b,c}/{trunk,branches,tags}/...
Modules are interdependent, and you want it to be single repostory (to commit
to all modules simultaneously and view complete history), but do not want
branches and tags be checked out into working copy.
Other use case is excluding some large blobs.
The quirk for now is that user must specify this option every fetch/rebase;
in other case he may get extra files or "file not found" errors. It may be
will be resolved by adding regular expression to .git/config into
[svn-remote ...] to make it persistent.

DAV-related headers (more specifically, headers related to the lock token,
namely, If, Lock-Token, and Timeout) for curl requests are created and
allocated individually, eg a "if_header" variable for the "If: " header, a
"timeout_header" variable for the "Timeout: " header.
This patch provides a new function ("get_dav_token_headers") that creates
these header, saving methods from allocating memory, and from issuing a
"curl_slist_append()" call. The temporary string storage given to
curl_slist_append() is freed much earlier than the previous code with this
patch, but this change is safe, because curl_slist_append() keeps a copy
of the given string.
In part, this patch also addresses the fact that commit 753bc91 (Remove
the requirement opaquelocktoken uri scheme) did not update memory
allocations for DAV-related headers.

Since ea27a18 (spawn pager via run_command interface), the
original git process actually does git work, and the pager
is a child process (actually, on Windows it has always been
that way, since Windows lacks fork). After spawning the
pager, we register an atexit() handler that waits for the
pager to finish.
Unfortunately, that handler does not always run. In
particular, if git is killed by a signal, then we exit
immediately. The calling shell then thinks that git is done;
however, the pager is still trying to run and impact the
terminal. The result can be seen by running a long git
process with a pager (e.g., "git log -p") and hitting ^C.
Depending on your config, you should see the shell prompt,
but pressing a key causes the pager to do any terminal
de-initialization sequence.
This patch just intercepts any death-dealing signals and
waits for the pager before dying. Under typical less
configuration, that means hitting ^C will cause git to stop
generating output, but the pager will keep running.

The current code is very inconsistent about which signals
are caught for doing cleanup of temporary files and lock
files. Some callsites checked only SIGINT, while others
checked a variety of death-dealing signals.
This patch factors out those signals to a single function,
and then calls it everywhere. For some sites, that means
this is a simple clean up. For others, it is an improvement
in that they will now properly clean themselves up after a
larger variety of signals.

If a piece of code wanted to do some cleanup before exiting
(e.g., cleaning up a lockfile or a tempfile), our usual
strategy was to install a signal handler that did something
like this:
do_cleanup(); /* actual work */
signal(signo, SIG_DFL); /* restore previous behavior */
raise(signo); /* deliver signal, killing ourselves */
For a single handler, this works fine. However, if we want
to clean up two _different_ things, we run into a problem.
The most recently installed handler will run, but when it
removes itself as a handler, it doesn't put back the first
handler.
This patch introduces sigchain, a tiny library for handling
a stack of signal handlers. You sigchain_push each handler,
and use sigchain_pop to restore whoever was before you in
the stack.

There are two pieces of code that create tempfiles for diff:
run_external_diff and run_textconv. The former cleans up its
tempfiles in the face of premature death (i.e., by die() or
by signal), but the latter does not. After this patch, they
will both use the same cleanup routines.
To make clear what the change is, let me first explain what
happens now:
- run_external_diff uses a static global array of 2
diff_tempfile structs (since it knows it will always
need exactly 2 tempfiles). It calls prepare_temp_file
(which doesn't know anything about the global array) on
each of the structs, creating the tempfiles that need to
be cleaned up. It then registers atexit and signal
handlers to look through the global array and remove the
tempfiles. If it succeeds, it calls the handler manually
(which marks the tempfile structs as unused).
- textconv has its own tempfile struct, which it allocates
using prepare_temp_file and cleans up manually. No
signal or atexit handlers.
The new code moves the installation of cleanup handlers into
the prepare_temp_file function. Which means that that
function now has to understand that there is static tempfile
storage. So what happens now is:
- run_external_diff calls prepare_temp_file
- prepare_temp_file calls claim_diff_tempfile, which
allocates an unused slot from our global array
- prepare_temp_file installs (if they have not already
been installed) atexit and signal handlers for cleanup
- prepare_temp_file sets up the tempfile as usual
- prepare_temp_file returns a pointer to the allocated
tempfile
The advantage being that run_external_diff no longer has to
care about setting up cleanup handlers. Now by virtue of
calling prepare_temp_file, run_textconv gets the same
benefit, as will any future users of prepare_temp_file.
There are also a few side benefits to the specific
implementation:
- we now install cleanup handlers _before_ allocating the
tempfile, closing a race which could leave temp cruft
- when allocating a slot in the global array, we will now
detect a situation where the old slots were not properly
vacated (i.e., somebody forgot to call remove upon
leaving the function). In the old code, such a situation
would silently overwrite the tempfile names, meaning we
would forget to clean them up. The new code dies with a
bug warning.
- we make sure only to install the signal handler once.
This isn't a big deal, since we are just overwriting the
old handler, but will become an issue when a later patch
converts the code to use sigchain

We had defined some SIG_FOO macros that appear in the code, but that are
not supported on Windows, in order to make the code compile. But a
subsequent change will assert that a signal number is non-zero. We now
use the signal numbers that are commonly used on POSIX systems.
