When DEFAULT_GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR is specified as a relative path,
init-db made it relative to exec_path using prefix_path(), which
is wrong. prefix_path() is about a file inside the work tree.
There was a similar misuse in config.c that takes relative
ETC_GITCONFIG path. Noticed by Junio C Hamano.
We concatenate the paths manually. (prefix_filename() won't do
because it expects a prefix with a trailing '/'.)

"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.

When we process "foo/" entries in gitignore files on a system
that does not have d_type member in "struct dirent", the earlier
implementation ran lstat(2) separately when matching with
entries that came from the command line, in-tree .gitignore
files, and $GIT_DIR/info/excludes file.
This optimizes it by delaying the lstat(2) call until it becomes
absolutely necessary.
The initial idea for this change was by Jeff King, but I
optimized it further to pass pointers to around.

A pattern "foo/" in the exclude list did not match directory
"foo", but a pattern "foo" did. This attempts to extend the
exclude mechanism so that it would while not matching a regular
file or a symbolic link "foo". In order to differentiate a
directory and non directory, this passes down the type of path
being checked to excluded() function.
A downside is that the recursive directory walk may need to run
lstat(2) more often on systems whose "struct dirent" do not give
the type of the entry; earlier it did not have to do so for an
excluded path, but we now need to figure out if a path is a
directory before deciding to exclude it. This is especially bad
because an idea similar to the earlier CE_UPTODATE optimization
to reduce number of lstat(2) calls would by definition not apply
to the codepaths involved, as (1) directories will not be
registered in the index, and (2) excluded paths will not be in
the index anyway.

There are a few options to git-send-email to suppress the automatic
generation of 'Cc' fields: --suppress-from, and --signed-off-cc.
However, there are other times that git-send-email automatically
includes Cc'd recipients. This is not desirable for all development
environments.
Add a new option --suppress-cc, which can be specified one or more
times to list the categories of auto-cc fields that should be
suppressed. If not specified, it defaults to values to give the same
behavior as specified by --suppress-from, and --signed-off-cc. The
categories are:
self - patch sender. Same as --suppress-from.
author - patch author.
cc - cc lines mentioned in the patch.

The caller pretends as if the write_tree() function would return

Whilst convenient, it is most unwise to record passwords
in any place but one's brain. Moreover, it is especially
foolish to store them in configuration files, even with
access permissions set accordingly.
git-send-email has been amended, so that if it detects
an smtp username without a password, it promptly prompts
for the password and masks the input for privacy.
Furthermore, the argument to --smtp-pass has been rendered
optional.
The documentation has been updated to reflect these changes.

I was able to solve this problem with this patch, which adds a XSL file
used specifically for DOCBOOK_XSL_172=YesPlease and where dots and
backslashes are escaped properly so they won't be substituted to the
wrong thing further down the "DocBook XSL pipeline". Doing the escaping
in the existing callout.xsl breaks v1.70.1. Hopefully v1.73 will end
this part of the manpage nightmare.

Originally, test_expect_failure was designed to be the opposite
of test_expect_success, but this was a bad decision. Most tests
run a series of commands that leads to the single command that
needs to be tested, like this:
test_expect_{success,failure} 'test title' '
setup1 &&
setup2 &&
setup3 &&
what is to be tested
'
And expecting a failure exit from the whole sequence misses the
point of writing tests. Your setup$N that are supposed to
succeed may have failed without even reaching what you are
trying to test. The only valid use of test_expect_failure is to
check a trivial single command that is expected to fail, which
is a minority in tests of Porcelain-ish commands.
This large-ish patch rewrites all uses of test_expect_failure to
use test_expect_success and rewrites the condition of what is
tested, like this:
test_expect_success 'test title' '
setup1 &&
setup2 &&
setup3 &&
! this command should fail
'
test_expect_failure is redefined to serve as a reminder that
that test *should* succeed but due to a known breakage in git it
currently does not pass. So if git-foo command should create a
file 'bar' but you discovered a bug that it doesn't, you can
write a test like this:
test_expect_failure 'git-foo should create bar' '
rm -f bar &&
git foo &&
test -f bar
'
This construct acts similar to test_expect_success, but instead
of reporting "ok/FAIL" like test_expect_success does, the
outcome is reported as "FIXED/still broken".

We only care about getting what should be an empty string and
sending it to a file, without a trailing LF, so the empty string
translates into a 0 byte file. Earlier when I originally wrote
these lines Mac OS X allowed the format string of printf to be
the empty string, but more recent versions appear to have been
'improved' with error messages if the format is not given.
This may cause problems if we ever wind up with changes to the hook
tests. A minor cleanup makes the test more safe on all systems,
by conforming to accepted printf conventions.
