Although everybody was quiet during the Christmas holiday, it's been
a week since -rc1, so here is -rc2.

HPA noticed that yum does not like the newer git RPM set; it turns out
that we do not ship git-p4 anymore but existing installations do not
realize the package is gone if we do not tell anything about it.
David Kastrup suggests using Obsoletes in the spec file of the new
RPM to replace the old package, so here is a try.

This uses "git-apply --whitespace=strip" to fix whitespace errors that have
crept in to our source files over time. There are a few files that need
to have trailing whitespaces (most notably, test vectors). The results
still passes the test, and build result in Documentation/ area is unchanged.

I think we can start to slow down, as we now have covered
everything I listed earlier in the short-term release plan.
The last release 1.5.0 took painfully too long.

When somebody else extracts git tarball inside a larger project,
'git describe' would reported the version number of that upper
level project.
Sometimes, using the consistent versioning across subdirectories
of a larger project is useful, but it may not always be the
right thing to do.
This changes the script to check ./vertion file first, and then
fall back to "git describe". This way, by default, tarball
distribution will get our own version. If the upper level wants
to use consistent versioning across its subdirectories, its
Makefile can overwrite ./version file to force whatever version
number they want to give us before descending into us.

This is not yet -rc1 where all new topics closes, but I think it
is getting pretty closer. I'd still want to merge updates to
fsck/prune to honor reflog entries before -rc1.

When an ancient "git" that does not understand "describe"
command is on the $PATH, "git describe" emitted a Usage message
without exiting non-zero status (which is a mistake we cannot
fix retroactively). Catch this case to make sure we do not try
using phoney multi-line string as a version number.

We ended up merging too many stuff after -rc2, so here is
another round of release candidate. Non bugfixes will be
queued to "next" from now on until a real 1.4.2 happens.

GIT-VERSION-GEN can incorrectly return a default version of
"v1.3.GIT" because it tries to execute git commands using the
"git-cmd" format that expects all git commands to be in the $PATH.
Convert these to "git cmd" format so that a proper answer is
returned even when the git commands have been moved out of the
$PATH and into a $gitexecdir.
