* ar/commit-cleanup:
Allow selection of different cleanup modes for commit messages
builtin-commit: avoid double-negation in the code.
builtin-commit: fix amending of the initial commit
t7005: do not exit inside test.
We wanted to have a list in which one (and the sole, as it happen to
be) item in it is ".mailmap", but do not seem to be able to convince
AsciiDoc to format it correctly for manpages. Reformat it into a
paragraph that describes the said file to work around the issue.

Although we traditionally stripped away excess blank lines, trailing
whitespaces and lines that begin with "#" from the commit log message,
sometimes the message just has to be the way user wants it.
For instance, a commit message template can contain lines that begin with
"#", the message must be kept as close to its original source as possible
if you are converting from a foreign SCM, or maybe the message has a shell
script including its comments for future reference.
The cleanup modes are default, verbatim, whitespace and strip. The
default mode depends on if the message is being edited and will either
strip whitespace and comments (if editor active) or just strip the
whitespace (for where the message is given explicitely).

In everyday tasks, "repack -a -d -f" won't be used, so there

With the new options "--src-prefix=<prefix>", "--dst-prefix=<prefix>"

machinery. These used to by hardwired to "a/" for the source prefix
and "b/" for the destination prefix.

This config variable makes it possible to choose the default format
used to display help. This format will be used only if no option
like -a|--all|-i|--info|-m|--man|-w|--web is passed to "git-help".
The following values are possible for this variable:
- "man" --> "man" program is used
- "info" --> "info" program is used
- "web" --> "git-browse-help" is used
By default we still show help using "man".
This patch also adds -m|--man command line option to use "man"
to allow overriding the "help.format" configuration variable.
Note that this patch also revert some recent changes in
"git-browse-help" because they prevented to look for config
variables in the global configuration file.

"git diff" has a --check option that can be used to check for whitespace
problems but it only reported by printing warnings to the
console.
Now when the --check option is used we give a non-zero exit status,
making "git diff --check" nicer to use in scripts and hooks.

The "-z" format is all about machine parsability, but showing renamed
paths as "common/{a => b}/suffix" makes it impossible. The scripts would
never have successfully parsed "--numstat -z -M" in the old format.
This fixes the output format in a (hopefully minimally) backward
incompatible way.
* The output without -z is not changed. This has given a good way for
humans to view added and deleted lines separately, and showing the
path in combined, shorter way would preserve readability.
* The output with -z is unchanged for paths that do not involve renames.
Existing scripts that do not pass -M/-C are not affected at all.
* The output with -z for a renamed path is shown in a format that can
easily be distinguished from an unrenamed path.
This is based on Jakub Narebski's patch. Bugs and documentation typos
are mine.
