Update documentation to change "GIT" which was a poor-man's small
caps to "Git". The latter was the intended spelling.
Also change "git" spelled in all-lowercase to "Git" when it refers
to the system as the whole or the concept it embodies, as opposed to
the command the end users would type.

Documentation: StGit is the right spelling, not StGIT
Documentation: describe the "repository" in repository-layout
Documentation: add a description for 'gitfile' to glossary
Documentation: do not use undefined terms git-dir and git-file
Documentation: the name of the system is 'Git', not 'git'
Documentation: avoid poor-man's small caps GIT

In the earlier days, we used to spell the name of the system as GIT,
to simulate as if it were typeset with capital G and IT in small
caps. Later we stopped doing so at around 1.6.5 days.
Let's stop doing so throughout the documentation. The name to refer
to the whole system (and the concept it embodies) is "Git"; the
command end-users type is "git". And document this in the coding
guideline.

"git fetch --depth" was broken in at least three ways. The

"git am -3" uses this function to build a tree that records how the
preimage the patch was created from would have looked like. An
abbreviated object name on the index line is ordinarily sufficient
for us to figure out the object name the preimage tree would have
contained, but a change to a submodule by definition shows an object
name of a submodule commit which our repository should not have, and
get_sha1_blob() is not an appropriate way to read it (or get_sha1()
for that matter).
Use get_sha1_hex() and complain if we do not find a full object name
there.
We could read from the payload part of the patch to learn the full
object name of the commit, but the primary user "git rebase" has
been fixed to give us a full object name, so this should suffice
for now.

The local variable sha1_ptr in the build_fake_ancestor() function
used to either point at the null_sha1[] (if the ancestor did not
have the path) or at sha1[] (if we read the object name into the
local array), but 7a98869 (apply: get rid of --index-info in favor
of --build-fake-ancestor, 2007-09-17) made the "missing in the
ancestor" case unnecessary, hence sha1_ptr, when used, always points
at the local array.
Get rid of the unneeded variable, and restructure the if/else
cascade a bit to make it easier to read. There should be no
behaviour change.

Earlier, a230949 (am --rebasing: get patch body from commit, not
from mailbox, 2012-06-26) learned to regenerate patch body from the
commit object while rebasing, instead of reading from the rebase-am
front-end. While doing so, it used "git diff-tree" but without
giving it the "--full-index" option.
This does not matter for in-repository objects; during rebasing, any
abbreviated object name should uniquely identify them.
But we may be rebasing a commit that contains a change to a gitlink,
in which case we usually should not have the object (it names a
commit in the submodule). A full object name is necessary to later
reconstruct a fake ancestor index for them.

Failing to close the stderr pipe in verify_signed_buffer() causes
git to run out of file descriptors if there are many calls to
verify_signed_buffer(). An easy way to trigger this is to run
git log --show-signature --merges | grep "key"
on the linux kernel git repo. Eventually it will fail with
error: cannot create pipe for gpg: Too many open files
error: could not run gpg.
Close the stderr pipe so that this can't happen.

Some reimplementations of Git does not write all the stat info back
to the index due to their implementation limitations (e.g. jgit
running on Java). A configuration option can tell Git to ignore
changes to most of the stat fields and only pay attention to mtime
and size, which these implementations can reliably update. This
avoids excessive revalidation of contents.
* rr/minimal-stat:
Enable minimal stat checking
When giving arguments without "--" disambiguation, object names
that come earlier on the command line must not be interpretable as
pathspecs and pathspecs that come later on the command line must
not be interpretable as object names. Tweak the disambiguation
rule so that ":/" (no other string before or after) is always
interpreted as a pathspec, to avoid having to say "git cmd -- :/".
