rerere_io_putconflict() wants to use a limited fixed-sized buf[] on
stack repeatedly to formulate a longer string, but its implementation
is doubly confusing:
* When it knows that the whole thing fits in buf[], it wants to
fill early part of buf[] with conflict marker characters,
followed by a LF and a NUL. It miscounts the size of the buffer
by 1 and does not use the last byte of buf[].
* When it needs to show only the early part of a long conflict
marker string (because the whole thing does not fit in buf[]), it
adjusts the number of bytes shown in the current round in a
strange-looking way. It makes sure that this round does not emit
all bytes and leaves at least one byte to the next round, so that
"it all fits" case will pick up the rest and show the terminating
LF. While this is correct, one needs to stop and think for a
while to realize why it is correct without an explanation.
Fix the benign off-by-one, and add comments to explain the
strange-looking size adjustment.

A conflicted index can have multiple stage #1 entries when dealing
with a criss-cross merge and using the "resolve" merge strategy.
Plug the leak by reading only the first one of the same stage
entries.
Strictly speaking, this fix does change the semantics, in that we
used to use the last stage #1 entry as the common ancestor when
doing the plain-vanilla three-way merge, but with the leak fix, we
will use the first stage #1 entry. But it is not a grave backward
compatibility breakage. Either way, we are arbitrarily picking one
of multiple stage #1 entries and using it, ignoring others, and
there is no meaning in the ordering of these stage #1 entries.

handle_cache() loops 3 times starting from an index entry that is
unmerged, while ignoring an entry for a path that is different from
what we are looking for.
As the index is sorted, once we see a different path, we know we saw
all stages for the path we are interested in. Just loop while we
see the same path and then break, instead of continuing for 3 times.

Instead of writing the hash for a conflict, a HT, and the path
with three separate write_in_full() calls, format them into a
single record into a strbuf and write it out in one go.
As a more recent "rerere remaining" codepath abuses the .util field
of the merge_rr data to store a sentinel token, make sure that
codepath does not call into this function (of course, "remaining" is
a read-only operation and currently does not call it).

The MERGE_RR file records a collection of NUL-terminated entries,
each of which consists of
- a hash that identifies the conflict
- a HT
- the pathname
We used to read this piece-by-piece, and worse yet, read the
pathname part a byte at a time into a fixed buffer of size PATH_MAX.
Instead, read a whole entry using strbuf_getwholeline() and parse
out the fields. This way, we issue fewer read(2) calls and more
importantly we do not have to limit the pathname to PATH_MAX.

The merge_rr string list stores the conflict ID (a hexadecimal
string that is used to index into $GIT_DIR/rr-cache) in the .util
field of its elements, and when do_plain_rerere() resolves a
conflict, the field is cleared. Also, when rerere_forget()
recomputes the conflict ID to updates the preimage file, the
conflict ID for the path is updated.
We forgot to free the existing conflict ID when we did these two
operations.

When ac49f5ca (rerere "remaining", 2011-02-16) split out a new
helper function check_one_conflict() out of find_conflict()
function, so that the latter will use the returned value from the
new helper to update the loop control variable that is an index into
active_cache[], the new variable incremented the index by one too
many when it found a path with only stage #1 entry at the very end
of active_cache[].
This "strange" return value does not have any effect on the loop
control of two callers of this function, as they all notice that
active_nr+2 is larger than active_nr just like active_nr+1 is, but
nevertheless it puzzles the readers when they are trying to figure
out what the function is trying to do.
In fact, there is no need to do an early return. The code that
follows after skipping the stage #1 entry is fully prepared to
handle a case where the entry is at the very end of active_cache[].
Help future readers from unnecessary confusion by dropping an early
return. We skip the stage #1 entry, and if there are stage #2 and
stage #3 entries for the same path, we diagnose the path as
THREE_STAGED (otherwise we say PUNTED), and then we skip all entries
for the same path.

The usual "git diff" when seeing a file turning into a directory

The function parses the input to compute the broken-down time in
"struct tm", and the GMT timezone offset. If the timezone offset
does not exist in the input, the broken-down time is turned into the
number of seconds since epoch both in the current timezone and in
GMT and the offset is computed as their difference.
However, we forgot to make sure tm.tm_isdst is set to -1 (i.e. let
the system figure out if DST is in effect in the current timezone
when turning the broken-down time to the number of seconds since
epoch); it is done so at the beginning of the function, but a call
to match_digit() in the function can lead to a call to gmtime_r() to
clobber the field.

When the input is UTF-8 and Perl is operating on bytes instead of
characters, a diff that changes one multibyte character to another
that shares an initial byte sequence will result in a broken diff
display as the common byte sequence prefix will be separated from
the rest of the bytes in the multibyte character.
For example, if a single line contains only the unicode character
U+C9C4 (encoded as UTF-8 0xEC, 0xA7, 0x84) and that line is then
changed to the unicode character U+C9C0 (encoded as UTF-8 0xEC,
0xA7, 0x80), when operating on bytes diff-highlight will show only
the single byte change from 0x84 to 0x80 thus creating invalid UTF-8
and a broken diff display.
Fix this by putting Perl into character mode when splitting the line
and then back into byte mode after the split is finished.
The utf8::xxx functions require Perl 5.8 so we require that as well.
Also, since we are mucking with code in the split_line function, we
change a '*' quantifier to a '+' quantifier when matching the $COLOR
expression which has the side effect of speeding everything up while
eliminating useless '' elements in the returned array.

Merges with an absurd number of parents are still a bad idea because
they do not render well in tools like gitk, but if they are present
in the repository being imported into git then there's no need to
avoid reproducing them faithfully.
In olden times, before v1.6.0-rc0~194 (2008-06-27), git commit-tree
and higher-level tools built on top of it were limited to writing 16
parents for a commit. Nowadays normal git operations are happy to
write more parents when asked, so the motivation for this note in the
fast-import documentation is gone and we can remove it.
