Recent versions of scripted "git am" has a performance regression in
"git am --skip" codepath, which no longer exists in the built-in
version on the 'master' front.  Fix the regression in the last
scripted version that appear in 2.5.x maintenance track and older.

d772def9c8 Merge branch 'mm/pull-upload-pack'
"git pull" in recent releases of Git has a regression in the code
that allows custom path to the --upload-pack=<program>.  This has
been corrected.

Note that this is irrelevant for 'master' with "git pull" rewritten
in C.

f932729cc7 memoize common git-path "constant" files
One of the most common uses of git_path() is to pass a
constant, like git_path("MERGE_MSG"). This has two
drawbacks:

  1. The return value is a static buffer, and the lifetime
     is dependent on other calls to git_path, etc.

  2. There's no compile-time checking of the pathname. This
     is OK for a one-off (after all, we have to spell it
     correctly at least once), but many of these constant
     strings appear throughout the code.

This patch introduces a series of functions to "memoize"
these strings, which are essentially globals for the
lifetime of the program. We compute the value once, take
ownership of the buffer, and return the cached value for
subsequent calls.  cache.h provides a helper macro for
defining these functions as one-liners, and defines a few
common ones for global use.

Using a macro is a little bit gross, but it does nicely
document the purpose of the functions. If we need to touch
them all later (e.g., because we learned how to change the
git_dir variable at runtime, and need to invalidate all of
the stored values), it will be much easier to have the
complete list.

Note that the shared-global functions have separate, manual
declarations. We could do something clever with the macros
(e.g., expand it to a declaration in some places, and a
declaration _and_ a definition in path.c). But there aren't
that many, and it's probably better to stay away from
too-magical macros.

Likewise, if we abandon the C preprocessor in favor of
generating these with a script, we could get much fancier.
E.g., normalizing "FOO/BAR-BAZ" into "git_path_foo_bar_baz".
But the small amount of saved typing is probably not worth
the resulting confusion to readers who want to grep for the
function's definition.

783d7e865e builtin-am: remove redirection to git-am.sh
At the beginning of the rewrite of git-am.sh to C, in order to not break
existing test scripts that depended on a functional git-am, a
redirection to git-am.sh was introduced that would activate if the
environment variable _GIT_USE_BUILTIN_AM was not defined.

Now that all of git-am.sh's functionality has been re-implemented in
builtin/am.c, remove this redirection, and retire git-am.sh into
contrib/examples/.

The backquoted form is the traditional method for command
substitution, and is supported by POSIX.  However, all but the
simplest uses become complicated quickly.  In particular, embedded
command substitutions and/or the use of double quotes require
careful escaping with the backslash character.

a1bbc6c017 repack: rewrite the shell script in C
The motivation of this patch is to get closer to a goal of being
able to have a core subset of git functionality built in to git.
That would mean

 * people on Windows could get a copy of at least the core parts
   of Git without having to install a Unix-style shell

 * people using git in on servers with chrooted environments
   do not need to worry about standard tools lacking for shell
   scripts.

This patch is meant to be mostly a literal translation of the
git-repack script; the intent is that later patches would start using
more library facilities, but this patch is meant to be as close to a
no-op as possible so it doesn't do that kind of thing.

627a8b8dcd core-tutorial: trim the section on Inspecting Changes
Back when the core tutorial was written, `log` and `whatchanged`
were scripted Porcelains.  In the "Inspecting Changes" section that
talks about the plumbing commands in the diff family, it made sense
to use `log` and `whatchanged` as good examples of the use of these
plumbing commands, and because even these scripted Porcelains were
novelty (there wasn't the new end-user tutorial written), it made
some sense to illustrate uses of the `git log` (and `git
whatchanged`) scripted Porcelain commands.

But we no longer have scripted `log` and `whatchanged` to serve as
examples, and this document is not where the end users learn what
`git log` command is about.  Stop at briefly mentioning the
possibility of combining rev-list with diff-tree to build your own
log, and leave the end-user documentation of `log` to the new
tutorial and the user manual.

Also resurrect the last version of `git-log`, `git-whatchanged`, and
`git-show` to serve as examples to contrib/examples/ directory.

While at it, remove 'whatchanged' from a list of sample commands
that are affected by GIT_FLUSH environment variable. This is not
meant to be an exhaustive list but as a list of typical ones, and an
old command that is kept primarily for backward compatibility does
not belong to it.

cheaper subset.

  merge-base: "--is-ancestor A B"
  get_merge_bases_many(): walk from many tips in parallel
  in_merge_bases(): use paint_down_to_common()

a20efee9cf in_merge_bases(): support only one "other" commit
In early days of its life, I planned to make it possible to compute
"is a commit contained in all of these other commits?" with this
function, but it turned out that no caller needed it.

Just make it take two commit objects and add a comment to say what
these two functions do.

67ac1e1d57 cherry-pick/revert: add support for -X/--strategy-option
For example, this would allow cherry-picking or reverting patches from
a piece of history with a different end-of-line style, like so:

	$ git revert -Xrenormalize old-problematic-commit

Currently that is possible with manual use of merge-recursive but the
cherry-pick/revert porcelain does not expose the functionality.

While at it, document the existing support for --strategy.

13931236b9 Change incorrect "remote branch" to "remote tracking branch" in C code
(Just like we did for documentation already)

In the process, we change "non-remote branch" to "branch outside the
refs/remotes/ hierarchy" to avoid the ugly "non-remote-tracking branch".
The new formulation actually corresponds to how the code detects this
case (i.e. prefixcmp(refname, "refs/remotes")).

Also, we use 'remote-tracking branch' in generated merge messages (by
merge an fmt-merge-msg).

3328acedc6 perl: use "use warnings" instead of -w
Change the Perl scripts to turn on lexical warnings instead of setting
the global $^W variable via the -w switch.

The -w sets warnings for all code that interpreter runs, while "use
warnings" is lexically scoped. The former is probably not what the
authors wanted.

As an auxiliary benefit it's now possible to build Git with:

    PERL_PATH='/usr/bin/env perl'

Which would previously result in failures, since "#!/usr/bin/env perl -w"
doesn't work as a shebang.
