* cc/browser:
Documentation: add 'git-web--browse.txt' and simplify other docs.
git-web--browse: fix misplaced quote in init_browser_path()
web--browse: Add a few quotes in 'init_browser_path'.
Documentation: instaweb: add 'git-web--browse' information.
Adjust .gitignore for 5884f1(Rename 'git-help--browse.sh'...)
git-web--browse: do not start the browser with nohup
instaweb: use 'git-web--browse' to launch browser.
Rename 'git-help--browse.sh' to 'git-web--browse.sh'.
help--browse: add '--config' option to check a config option for a browser.
help: make 'git-help--browse' usable outside 'git-help'.
Conflicts:
git-web--browse.sh
The value of this new command line option will be used as a key to
check the configuration for an help browser.
This should remove the last bit in 'git-help--browse' that was
specific to 'git-help', so that other git command can use
'git-help--browse'.

"git-help--browse" helper is to launch a browser of the user's choice
to view the HTML version of git documentation for a given command. It
used to take the name of a command, convert it to the path of the
documentation by prefixing the directory name and appending the
".html" suffix, and start the browser on the path.
This updates the division of labor between the caller in help.c and
git-help--browser helper. The helper is now responsible for launching
a browser of the user's choice on given URLs, and it is the caller's
responsibility to tell it the paths to documentation files.
This is in preparation to reuse the logic to choose user's preferred
browser in instaweb.
The helper had a provision for running it without any command name, in
which case it showed the toplevel "git(7)" documentation, but the
caller in help.c never makes such a call. The helper now exits with a
usage message when no path is given.

The convention for helper scripts has been
git-$TOOL--$HELPER. Since this is a "browse" helper for the
"help" tool, git-help--browse is a more sensible name.

This config variable makes it possible to choose the default format
used to display help. This format will be used only if no option
like -a|--all|-i|--info|-m|--man|-w|--web is passed to "git-help".
The following values are possible for this variable:
- "man" --> "man" program is used
- "info" --> "info" program is used
- "web" --> "git-browse-help" is used
By default we still show help using "man".
This patch also adds -m|--man command line option to use "man"
to allow overriding the "help.format" configuration variable.
Note that this patch also revert some recent changes in
"git-browse-help" because they prevented to look for config
variables in the global configuration file.

Now when using "git help -w cmd", we will try to show the HTML man
page "git-cmd.html" in your prefered web browser.
To do that "help.c" code will call a new shell script
"git-browse-help".
This currently works only if the HTML versions of the man page
have been installed in $(htmldir) (typically "/usr/share/doc/git-doc"),
so new target to do that is added to "Documentation/Makefile".
The browser to use can be configured using the "web.browser"
config variable.
We try to open a new tab in an existing web browser, if possible.
The code in "git-browse-help" is heavily stolen from "git-mergetool"
by Theodore Y. Ts'o. Thanks.

Prepend $(prefix)/share/man to the MANPATH environment variable before
invoking 'man' from help.c:show_man_page(). There may be other git
documentation in the user's MANPATH but the user is asking a specific
instance of git about its own documentation, so we'd better show the
documentation for _that_ instance of git.

Git had previously been using the $PATH for scripts--a previous
patch moved exec'ed commands to also use the $PATH. For consistency
"help -a" should also list commands in the $PATH.
The main commands are still listed from the git_exec_path(), but
the $PATH is walked and other git commands (probably extensions) are
listed.

list_commands() currently accepts and ignores a "pattern" argument,
and then hard codes a prefix as well as some magic numbers. This
hardcodes the prefix inside of the function and removes the magic

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.

This mechanically converts strncmp() to use prefixcmp(), but only when
the parameters match specific patterns, so that they can be verified
easily. Leftover from this will be fixed in a separate step, including
idiotic conversions like
if (!strncmp("foo", arg, 3))
=>
if (!(-prefixcmp(arg, "foo")))
This was done by using this script in px.perl
#!/usr/bin/perl -i.bak -p
if (/strncmp\(([^,]+), "([^\\"]*)", (\d+)\)/ && (length($2) == $3)) {
s|strncmp\(([^,]+), "([^\\"]*)", (\d+)\)|prefixcmp($1, "$2")|;
}
if (/strncmp\("([^\\"]*)", ([^,]+), (\d+)\)/ && (length($1) == $3)) {
s|strncmp\("([^\\"]*)", ([^,]+), (\d+)\)|(-prefixcmp($2, "$1"))|;
}
and running:
$ git grep -l strncmp -- '*.c' | xargs perl px.perl

Some of the short help texts that are shown e.g. when running 'git'
without any parameters wrap on a 80-column terminal. They are just
one character over the line. This patch avoids it by decreasing the
number of spaces around the preceding command name from four to
three (on both sides for symmetry).

This is a mechanical clean-up of the way *.c files include
system header files.
(1) sources under compat/, platform sha-1 implementations, and
xdelta code are exempt from the following rules;
(2) the first #include must be "git-compat-util.h" or one of
our own header file that includes it first (e.g. config.h,
builtin.h, pkt-line.h);
(3) system headers that are included in "git-compat-util.h"
need not be included in individual C source files.
(4) "git-compat-util.h" does not have to include subsystem
specific header files (e.g. expat.h).

This cleans up the build procedure for built-in commands by:
- generating mostly redundant definition of BUILT_INS from
BUILTIN_OBJS in the Makefile,
- renaming a few files to make the above possible, and
- sorting the built-in command table in git.c.
It might be a good idea to binary search (or perfect hash) the built-in
command table, but that can be done later when somebody feels like.
