Update draft release notes for 1.6.0.1
Add hints to revert documentation about other ways to undo changes
Install templates with the user and group of the installing personality
"git-merge": allow fast-forwarding in a stat-dirty tree
completion: find out supported merge strategies correctly
decorate: allow const objects to be decorated
for-each-ref: cope with tags with incomplete lines
diff --check: do not get confused by new blank lines in the middle
remote.c: remove useless if-before-free test
mailinfo: avoid violating strbuf assertion
git format-patch: avoid underrun when format.headers is empty or all NLs
Based on its name, people may read the 'git revert' documentation when
they want to undo local changes, especially people who have used other
SCM's. 'git revert' may not be what they had in mind, but git
provides several other ways to undo changes to files. We can help
them by pointing them towards the git commands that do what they might
want to do.

If 'make install' was run with sufficient privileges, then the installed
templates, which are copied using 'tar', would receive the user and group
of whoever built git. This instructs 'tar' to ignore the user and group
that are recorded in the archive.

We used to refresh the index to clear stat-dirtyness before a fast-forward

"git-merge" is a binary executable these days, and looking for assignment
to $all_strategies variable with grep/sed does not work well.
When asked for an unknown strategy, pre-1.6.0 and post-1.6.0 "git merge"
commands respectively say:
$ $HOME/git-snap-v1.5.6.5/bin/git merge -s help
available strategies are: recur recursive octopus resolve stupid ours subtree
$ $HOME/git-snap-v1.6.0/bin/git merge -s help
Could not find merge strategy 'help'.
Available strategies are: recursive octopus resolve ours subtree.
both on their standard error stream. We can use this to learn what
strategies are supported.
The sed script is written in such a way that it catches both old and new
message styles ("Available" vs "available", and the full stop at the end).
It also allows future versions of "git merge" to line-wrap the list of
strategies, and add extra comments, like this:
$ $HOME/git-snap-v1.6.1/bin/git merge -s help
Could not find merge strategy 'help'.
Available strategies are: blame recursive octopus resolve ours
subtree.
Also you have custom strategies: theirs
Make sure you spell strategy names correctly.

The code remembered that the last diff output it saw was an empty line,
and tried to reset that state whenever it sees a context line, a non-blank
new line, or a new hunk. However, this codepath asks the underlying diff
engine to feed diff without any context, and the "just saw an empty line"
state was not reset if you added a new blank line in the last hunk of your
patch, even if it is not the last line of the file.

In handle_from, we calculate the end boundary of a section
to remove from a strbuf using strcspn like this:
el = strcspn(buf, set_of_end_boundaries);
strbuf_remove(&sb, start, el + 1);
This works fine if "el" is the offset of the boundary
character, meaning we remove up to and including that
character. But if the end boundary didn't match (that is, we
hit the end of the string as the boundary instead) then we
want just "el". Asking for "el+1" caught an out-of-bounds
assertion in the strbuf library.
This manifested itself when we got a 'From' header that had
just an email address with nothing else in it (the end of
the string was the end of the address, rather than, e.g., a
trailing '>' character), causing git-mailinfo to barf.

GNU diff's --suppress-blank-empty option makes it so that diff no
longer outputs trailing white space unless the input data has it.
With this option, empty context lines are now empty also in diff -u output.
Before, they would have a single trailing space.

Some platforms do not have st_blocks member in "struct stat"; mingw
already emulates it by rounding it up to closest 512-byte blocks (even
though it could overcount when a file has holes).
The reason to use the member is only to figure out how many kilobytes the
files occupy on-disk, so give a helper function in git-compat-util.h to
compute this value.

Recent changes to is_multipart_boundary() caused git-mailinfo to segfault.
The reason was after handling the end of the boundary the code tried to look
for another boundary. Because the boundary list was empty, dereferencing
the pointer to the top of the boundary caused the program to go boom.
The fix is to check to see if the list is empty and if so go on its merry
way instead of looking for another boundary.
I also fixed a couple of increments and decrements that didn't look correct
relating to content_top.
The boundary test case was updated to catch future problems like this again.

"git rebase" without arguments on initial startup showed:
fatal: Needed a single revision
invalid upstream
This patch makes it show the ordinary usage string.
If .git/rebase-merge or .git/rebase-apply/rebasing exists, git-rebase
will die with a message saying that a rebase is in progress and the user
should try --skip/--abort/--continue.
If .git/rebase-apply/applying exists, git-rebase will die with a message
saying that git-am is in progress, regardless how many arguments are
given.
If no arguments are given and .git/rebase-apply/ exists, but neither a
rebasing nor applying file is in that directory, git-rebase dies with a
message saying that rebase-apply exists and no arguments were given.

"git stash -h" showed some incomplete and ugly usage information.
For example, the useful "--keep-index" option for "save" or the "--index"
option for "apply" were not shown. Also in the documentation synopsis they
were not shown, so that there is no incentive to scroll down and even see
that such options exist.
This patch improves the git-stash synopsis in the documentation by
mentioning that further options to the stash commands and then copies
this synopsis to the usage information string of git-stash.sh.
For the latter, the dashless git command string has to be inserted on the
second and the following usage lines. The code of this is taken from
git-sh-setup so that all lines will show the command string.
Note that the "create" command is not advertised at all now, because
it was not mentioned in git-stash.txt.
