cb48cb585f refs.c::read_ref_at(): fix bogus munmap() call.
The code uses mmap() to read reflog data, but moves the pointer around
while reading, and uses that updated pointer in the call to munmap().

2266bf27b3 for_each_reflog_ent: do not leak FILE *
The callback function can signal an early return by returning non-zero,

4700951298 Use standard -t option for touch.
Non-GNU touch do not have the -d option to take free form
date strings.  The POSIX -t option should be more widespread.
For this to work, date needs to output YYYYMMDDHHMM.SS date strings.

bb79103194 Use fixed-size integers for the on-disk pack structure.
Plain integer types without a fixed size can vary between platforms.  Even
though all common platforms use 32-bit ints, there is no guarantee that
this won't change at some point.  Furthermore, specifying an integer type
with explicit size makes the definition of structures more obvious.

c261e4385e Add --summary to git-format-patch by default

7c49628010 git-format-patch -3
This teaches "git-format-patch" to honor the --max-count
parameter revision traversal machinery takes, so that you can
say "git-format-patch -3" to process the three topmost commits
from the current HEAD (or "git-format-patch -2 topic" to name a
specific branch).

df1b059d8d Document pack .idx file format upgrade strategy.
Way back when Junio developed the 64 bit index topic he came up
with a means of changing the .idx file format so that older Git
clients would recognize that they don't understand the file and
refuse to read it, while newer clients could tell the difference
between the old-style and new-style .idx files.  Unfortunately
this wasn't recorded anywhere.

This change documents how we might go about changing the .idx
file format by using a special signature in the first four bytes.
Credit (and possible blame) goes completely to Junio for thinking
up this technique.

The change also modifies the error message of the current Git code
so that users get a recommendation to upgrade their Git software
should this version or later encounter a new-style .idx which it
cannot process.  We already do this for the .pack files, but since
we usually process the .idx files first its important that these
files are recognized and encourage an upgrade.

41a5564e05 Refer users to git-rev-parse for revision specification syntax.
The revision specification syntax (sometimes referred to as
SHA1-expressions) is accepted almost everywhere in Git by
almost every tool.  Unfortunately it is only documented in
git-rev-parse.txt, and most users don't know to look there.

8bef62049b Fix spurious compile error
From time to time, I would get this error:

[...]
sed: -e expression #8, char 41: Unterminated `s' command
make: *** [git-add--interactive] Error 1

Turns out that the function WriteMakefile() called in Makefile.PL
outputs the message "Writing perl.mak for Git" to stdout! Thus,
the output of "make -C perl -s --no-print-directory instlibdir"
would be prefixed by that message whenever Makefile.PL was newer
than perl.mak.

This is fixed by redirecting stdout to stderr in Makefile.PL.
