With the -e/--exclude option for git-clean, a user can specify files
that they haven't yet told git about, but either need for a short amount
of time or plan to tell git about them later. This allows one to still
use git-clean while these files are around without losing data.

The '!()' notation is interpreted as a pattern-list on Ksh. The Ksh man
page describe it as follows:
!(pattern-list)
Matches anything except one of the given patterns.
Ksh performs a file glob using the pattern-list and then tries to execute
the first file in the list. If a space is added between the '!' and the
open parens, then Ksh will not interpret it as a pattern list, but in this
case, it is preferred to use test_must_fail, so lets do so.

These two lines use the negation '!' operator to negate the result of a
simple command. Since these commands do not contain any pipes or other
complexities, the test_must_fail function can be used and is preferred
since it will additionally detect termination due to a signal.
This was noticed because the second use of '!' does not include a space
between the '!' and the opening parens. Ksh interprets this as follows:
!(pattern-list)
Matches anything except one of the given patterns.

Some have found the wording of the description to be somewhat ambiguous
with respect to when it is desirable to use test_must_fail instead of
"! <git-command>". Tweak the wording somewhat to hopefully clarify that
it is _because_ test_must_fail can detect segmentation fault that it is
desirable to use it instead of "! <git-command>".

This option adds symmetry with fast-import, enabling it to also work with
complete trees instead of just incremental changes. It works by issuing a
'deleteall' directive with each commit and then listing the full set of
files that make up that commit, rather than just showing the list of files
that have changed since the (first) parent commit. Note that this
functionality is automatically turned on when using --import-marks together
with path limiting in order to avoid dropping important but unchanged
files.
This functionality is desired when using hand-written filters along with
'fast-export | some-filter | fast-import' as it can be easier to write
<some-filter> in terms of complete trees than incremental changes.
We could avoid the need to add this option by simply always turning it on.
While the end result would be identical, it would slow things down slightly
by printing many more filenames per commit which goes somewhat against the
'fast' in 'fast-export'.

Since fast-export operates by listing file changes since the (first) parent
commit, when using --import-marks and path limiting and using a wider list
of paths than in previous runs, files from the new path(s) will silently be
omitted from the result unless or until a commit which explicitly changes
those files. The resulting repository in such cases is broken and makes no
sense.
This commit fixes this by having fast-export work with complete trees
instead of incremental changes (when both --import-marks and path limiting
are used). It works by issuing a 'deleteall' directive with each commit and
then listing the full set of files that make up that commit, rather than
just showing the list of files that have changed since the (first) parent
commit.

Apparently using the Storable module during global destruction is
unsafe - there is a bug which can cause segmentation faults:
http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=36087http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=482355
The persistent memoization support introduced in commit 8bff7c538
relied on global destruction to write cached data, which was leading
to segfaults in some Perl configurations. Calling Memoize::unmemoize
in the END block forces the cache writeout to be performed earlier,
thus avoiding the bug.

We have become used to the features of svnmailer when used with Subversion,
and one of those useful features is that it can limit the maximum length
(in lines) of a commit email message. This is terribly useful since once the
goes beyond a reasonable number of lines, nobody is going to read the remainder,
and if they really want the entire contents of the commits, they can use
git itself to get them using the revision IDs present in the message already.
Change the post-receive-email script to respond to an 'emailmaxlines' config key
which, if specified, will limit the number of lines generated (including
headers); any lines beyond the limit are suppressed, and a final line is added
indicating the number that were suppressed.

we now say "Finished cherry-pick of commit <abbreviated sha1>." or
"Finished revert of commit <abbreviated sha1>." which is more informative,

"git cherry-pick foo" has always reported success with
"Finished one cherry-pick" but "cherry-pick --strategy"
does not print anything. So move the code to write that
message from do_recursive_merge() to do_cherry_pick()
so other strategies can share it.
This patch also refactors the code that prints a message
like "Automatic cherry-pick failed. <help message>". This
code was duplicated in both do_recursive_merge() and
do_pick_commit().
To do that, now do_recursive_merge() returns an int to signal
success or failure. And in case of failure we just return 1
from do_pick_commit() instead of doing "exit(1)" from either
do_recursive_merge() or do_pick_commit().

Earlier we tried to make sure that the trees we get are what A...B
syntax produced, by checking that earlier ones are all marked
uninteresting (which has to be true as they are merge bases),
there are two remaining ones that are interesting, and they are
marked as non-symmetric-left and symmetric-left respectively.
The "the last two must be interesting" condition is however wrong when one
is an ancestor of the other between A and B (i.e. fast-forward). In such
a case, one of them is marked uninteresting.
approxidate() is not appropriate for reading machine-written dates
because it guesses instead of erroring out on malformed dates.
parse_date() is less convenient since it returns its output as a
string. So export the underlying function that writes a timestamp.
While at it, change the return value to match the usual convention:
return 0 for success and -1 for failure.
