14f9e128d3 Define the project whitespace policy
This establishes what the "bad" whitespaces are for this
project.

The rules are:

 - Unless otherwise specified, indent with SP that could be
   replaced with HT are not "bad".  But SP before HT in the
   indent is "bad", and trailing whitespaces are "bad".

 - For C source files, initial indent by SP that can be replaced
   with HT is also "bad".

 - Test scripts in t/ and test vectors in its subdirectories can
   contain anything, so we make it unrestricted for now.

Anything "bad" will be shown in WHITESPACE error indicator in
diff output, and "apply --whitespace=warn" will warn about it.

I was able to solve this problem with this patch, which adds a XSL file
used specifically for DOCBOOK_XSL_172=YesPlease and where dots and
backslashes are escaped properly so they won't be substituted to the
wrong thing further down the "DocBook XSL pipeline". Doing the escaping
in the existing callout.xsl breaks v1.70.1. Hopefully v1.73 will end
this part of the manpage nightmare.

2b84b5a874 Introduce the config variable pack.packSizeLimit
"git pack-objects" has the option --max-pack-size to limit the file
size of the packs to a certain amount of bytes.  On platforms where
the pack file size is limited by filesystem constraints, it is easy
to forget this option, and this option does not exist for "git gc"
to begin with.

So introduce a config variable to set the default maximum, but make
this overrideable by the command line.

Suggested by Tor Arvid Lund.

656482830d git-send-email: Generalize auto-cc recipient mechanism.
There are a few options to git-send-email to suppress the automatic
generation of 'Cc' fields: --suppress-from, and --signed-off-cc.
However, there are other times that git-send-email automatically
includes Cc'd recipients.  This is not desirable for all development
environments.

Add a new option --suppress-cc, which can be specified one or more
times to list the categories of auto-cc fields that should be
suppressed.  If not specified, it defaults to values to give the same
behavior as specified by --suppress-from, and --signed-off-cc.  The
categories are:

  self   - patch sender.  Same as --suppress-from.
  author - patch author.
  cc     - cc lines mentioned in the patch.
  cccmd  - avoid running the cccmd.
  sob    - signed off by lines.
  all    - all non-explicit recipients

2363d7467d git-send-email: ssh/login style password requests
Whilst convenient, it is most unwise to record passwords
in any place but one's brain. Moreover, it is especially
foolish to store them in configuration files, even with
access permissions set accordingly.

git-send-email has been amended, so that if it detects
an smtp username without a password, it promptly prompts
for the password and masks the input for privacy.

Furthermore, the argument to --smtp-pass has been rendered
optional.

The documentation has been updated to reflect these changes.

d6cf61bfd4 close_lock_file(): new function in the lockfile API
The lockfile API is a handy way to obtain a file that is cleaned
up if you die().  But sometimes you would need this sequence to
work:

 1. hold_lock_file_for_update() to get a file descriptor for
    writing;

 2. write the contents out, without being able to decide if the
    results should be committed or rolled back;

 3. do something else that makes the decision --- and this
    "something else" needs the lockfile not to have an open file
    descriptor for writing (e.g. Windows do not want a open file
    to be renamed);

 4. call commit_lock_file() or rollback_lock_file() as
    appropriately.

This adds close_lock_file() you can call between step 2 and 3 in
the above sequence.
