The thread at http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/257392
details problems when applying patches with "git am" in a repository with
CRLF line endings. In the example in the thread, the repository originated
from "git-svn" so it is not possible to use core.eol and friends on it.
Right now, the best option is to use "git am --keep-cr". However, when
a patch create new files, the patch application process will reject the
new file because it finds a "/dev/null\r" string instead of "/dev/null".
The problem is that SMTP transport is CRLF-unsafe. Sending a patch by
email is the same as passing it through "dos2unix | unix2dos". The newly
introduced CRLFs are normally transparent because git-am strips them. The
keepcr=true setting preserves them, but it is mostly working by chance
and it would be very problematic to have a "git am" workflow in a
repository with mixed LF and CRLF line endings.
The MIME solution to this is the quoted-printable transfer enconding.
This is not something that we want to enable by default, since it makes
received emails horrible to look at. However, it is a very good match
for projects that store CRLF line endings in the repository.
The only disadvantage of quoted-printable is that quoted-printable
patches fail to apply if the maintainer uses "git am --keep-cr". This
is because the decoded patch will have two carriage returns at the end
of the line. Therefore, add support for base64 transfer encoding too,
which makes received emails downright impossible to look at outside
a MUA, but really just works.
The patch covers all bases, including users that still live in the late
80s, by also providing a 7bit content transfer encoding that refuses
to send emails with non-ASCII character in them. And finally, "8bit"
will add a Content-Transfer-Encoding header but otherwise do nothing.

In an earlier part there is:
"re-send it with "To:" set to the maintainer [*1*] and "cc:" the list [*2*]"
for the final submission, but later we see
"Send it to the list and cc the maintainer."
Fix the later one to match the previous.

In particular, git-fast-import and -export link to each
other, and gitremote-helpers links to existing remote
helpers, and vice versa. Also link to fast-import from the
remote helper spec, as this is relevant for remote helpers

The option name "--store" was used early in development, but
never even made it into an applied patch, let alone a
released version of git. I forgot to update the matching

In addition to fixing trivial and obvious typos, be careful about

- Spell ASCII, URL and CRC in ALL CAPS;
- Spell Linux as Capitalized;
- Do not omit periods in "i.e." and "e.g.".

The config option color.grep.match can be used to specify the highlighting
color for matching strings. Add the options matchContext and matchSelected
to allow different colors to be specified for matching strings in the
context vs. in selected lines. This is similar to the ms and mc specifiers
in GNU grep's environment variable GREP_COLORS.
Tests are from Zoltan Klinger's earlier attempt to solve the same

Asciidoctor provides an extension implementing a backend-independent
macro for dealing with manpage links just like the linkgit macro. As
this is more likely to be up-to-date with future changes in Asciidoctor,
prefer using it over reimplementing in Git.
