When you have to add certain lines like ACKs (or for that matter,
Signed-off-by:s) to a range of commits starting with HEAD, you might
be tempted to use 'git rebase -i -10', but that is a waste of your
time.
It is better to use 'git filter-branch' with an appropriate message
filter, and this commit adds an example how to do so to
filter-branch's man page.

The effects of repacking on a repository with alternates are a bit
subtle. The two main things users will want are:
1. Not to waste disk space by accidentally copying objects which could
be shared.
2. Copying all objects explicitly to break the dependency on the source
repo.
This patch describes both under the "clone -s" documentation. It makes
sense to put it there rather than in git-repack.txt for both cases.
For (1), we are warning the user who is using "clone -s" about what _not_
to do, so we need to get their attention when reading about "clone -s".
For (2), we are telling them how git-repack can be used to accomplish a
task, but until they know that git-repack is the right tool, they have no
reason to look at the repack documentation.

In 0392513 (add-interactive: refactor mode hunk handling, 2009-04-16),
we merged the interaction loops for mode changes and hunk staging.
This was fine at the time, because 0beee4c (git-add--interactive:
remove hunk coalescing, 2008-07-02) removed hunk coalescing.
However, in 7a26e65 (Revert "git-add--interactive: remove hunk
coalescing", 2009-05-16), we resurrected it. Since then, the code
would attempt in vain to merge mode changes with diff hunks,
corrupting both in the process.
We add a check to the coalescing loop to ensure it only looks at diff
hunks, thus skipping mode changes.

We traditionally allowed a mbox file or a directory name of a maildir (but
never an individual file inside a maildir) to be given to "git am". Even
though an individual file in a maildir (or more generally, a piece of
RFC2822 e-mail) is not a mbox file, it contains enough information to
create a commit out of it, so there is no reason to reject one. Running
mailsplit on such a file feels stupid, but it does not hurt.
This builds on top of a5a6755 (git-am foreign patch support: introduce
patch_format, 2009-05-27) that introduced mailbox format detection. The
codepath to deal with a mbox requires it to begin with "From " line and
also allows it to begin with "From: ", but a random piece of e-mail can
and often do begin with any valid RFC2822 header lines.
Instead of checking the first line, we extract all the lines up to the
first empty line, and make sure they look like e-mail headers.
A test is added to t4150 to demonstrate this feature.

When making a histogram of delta chain length in the pack, the program
collects number of objects whose delta depth exceeds the MAX_CHAIN limit
in histogram[0], and showed it as the number of items that exceeds the
limit correctly. HOWEVER, it also showed the same number labeled as
"chain length = 0".
In fact, we are not showing the number of objects whose chain length is
zero, i.e. the base objects. Correct this.

I have 4GB of RAM on my system which should, in theory, be quite enough
to repack a 600 MB repository. However the unbounded delta cache size
always pushes it into swap, at which point everything virtually comes to
a halt. So unbounded caches are never a good idea.
A default of 256MB should be a good compromize between memory usage and
speed where medium sized repositories are still likely to fit in the
cache with a reasonable memory usage, and larger repositories are going
to take quite some time to repack already anyway.
While at it, clarify the associated config variable documentation
entries a bit.

Configuration values are expected to be quoted when they have leading or
trailing whitespace, but inner whitespace should be kept verbatim even if
the value is not quoted. This is already documented in git-config(1), but
the code caused inner whitespace to be collapsed to a single space,
breaking, for example, clones from a path that has two consecutive spaces
in it, as future fetches would only see a single space.

When a branch moves A to B while the other branch created B (or moved C to
B), the code tried to rename one of them to B~something to preserve both
versions, and failed to register temporary resolution for the original
path B at stage#0 during virtual ancestor computation. This left the
index in unmerged state and caused a segfault.
A better solution is to merge these two versions of B's in place and use
the (potentially conflicting) result as the intermediate merge result in
the virtual ancestor.
