(If not, the client would be left waiting for a response when the server is
already dead.)

By default, we tell curl to use CURLAUTH_ANY, which does not
limit its set of auth methods. However, this results in an
extra round-trip to the server when authentication is
required. After we've fed the credential to curl, it wants
to probe the server to find its list of available methods
before sending an Authorization header.
We can shortcut this by limiting our http_auth_methods by
what the server told us it supports. In some cases (such as
when the server only supports Basic), that lets curl skip
the extra probe request.
The end result should look the same to the user, but you can
use GIT_TRACE_CURL to verify the sequence of requests:
GIT_TRACE_CURL=1 \
git ls-remote https://example.com/repo.git \
2>&1 >/dev/null |
egrep '(Send|Recv) header: (GET|HTTP|Auth)'
Before this patch, hitting a Basic-only server like
github.com results in:
Send header: GET /repo.git/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack HTTP/1.1
Recv header: HTTP/1.1 401 Authorization Required
Send header: GET /repo.git/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack HTTP/1.1
Recv header: HTTP/1.1 401 Authorization Required
Send header: GET /repo.git/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack HTTP/1.1
Send header: Authorization: Basic <redacted>
Recv header: HTTP/1.1 200 OK
And after:
Send header: GET /repo.git/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack HTTP/1.1
Recv header: HTTP/1.1 401 Authorization Required
Send header: GET /repo.git/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack HTTP/1.1
Send header: Authorization: Basic <redacted>
Recv header: HTTP/1.1 200 OK
The possible downsides are:
- This only helps for a Basic-only server; for a server
with multiple auth options, curl may still send a probe
request to see which ones are available (IOW, there's no
way to say "don't probe, I already know what the server
will say").
- The http_auth_methods variable is global, so this will
apply to all further requests. That's acceptable for
Git's usage of curl, though, which also treats the
credentials as global. I.e., in any given program
invocation we hit only one conceptual server (we may be
redirected at the outset, but in that case that's whose
auth_avail field we'd see).

Within the help message of 'git add -i', the 'diff' command uses one
tab character and blanks to create the space between the name and the
description while the others use blanks only. So if the tab size is
not at 4 characters, this description will not be in range.
Replace the tab character with blanks.

The documentation for git blame used vertical bars for optional
arguments to -M and -C, which is unusual and potentially confusing.
Since most man pages use brackets for optional items, and that's
consistent with how we document the same options for git diff and
friends, use brackets here, too.

Not just . and .., but any path that begins with dot is not copied
when copying the template directory to a new repository. You can
customize the template directory, copying some dotfiles might make
sense, but it's actually a good thing not to, because you would not
want to have your git directory copied in every git directory that
is created should you decide to put your template directory under
version control, for example. Plus, it might be used as a feature
by people who would want to exclude some files.

The current code wants to record an error condition from
either ferror() or fclose(), but makes sure that we always
call both functions. So it can't use logical-OR "||", which
would short-circuit when ferror() is true. Instead, it uses
bitwise-OR "|" to evaluate both functions and set one or
more bits in the "err" flag if they reported a failure.
Unlike logical-OR, though, bitwise-OR does not introduce a
sequence point, and the order of evaluation for its operands
is unspecified. So a compiler would be free to generate code
which calls fclose() first, and then ferror() on the
now-freed filehandle.
There's no indication that this has happened in practice,
but let's write it out in a way that follows the standard.

It is often useful to break a commit into multiple parts that are more
logical separations. This can be tricky to learn how to do without the
brute-force method if re-writing code or commit messages from scratch.
Add a section to the git-reset documentation which shows an example
process for how to use git add -p and git commit -c HEAD@{1} to
interactively break a commit apart and re-use the original commit
message as a starting point when making the new commit message.
