Some shells do not behave correctly when IFS is unset; work it
around by explicitly setting it to the default value.

sh-setup: work around "unset IFS" bug in some shells
When a line to be wrapped has a solid run of non space characters
whose length exactly is the wrap width, "git shortlog -w" failed to
add a newline after such a line.
* sp/shortlog-missing-lf:
strbuf_add_wrapped*(): Remove unused return value
shortlog: fix wrapping lines of wraplen
"gitweb", when sorting by age to show repositories with new
activities first, used to sort repositories with absolutely nothing
in it early, which was not very useful.

gitweb: Sort projects with undefined ages last
After "git add -N" and then writing a tree object out of the
index, the cache-tree data structure got corrupted.

cache-tree: invalidate i-t-a paths after generating trees
cache-tree: fix writing cache-tree when CE_REMOVE is present
cache-tree: replace "for" loops in update_one with "while" loops
cache-tree: remove dead i-t-a code in verify_cache()
"git pack-refs" that ran in parallel to another process that created
new refs had a nasty race.

http transport was wrong to ask for the username when the
authentication is done by certificate identity.

The --graph code fell into infinite loop when asked to do what the

graph.c: infinite loop in git whatchanged --graph -m
The way "git svn" asked for password using SSH_ASKPASS and
GIT_ASKPASS was not in line with the rest of the system.
* ss/svn-prompt:
git-svn, perl/Git.pm: extend and use Git->prompt method for querying users
perl/Git.pm: Honor SSH_ASKPASS as fallback if GIT_ASKPASS is not set
git-svn, perl/Git.pm: add central method for prompting passwords
After failing to create a temporary file using mkstemp(), failing
pathname was not reported correctly on some platforms.

t9200 runs "cvs init" on a directory that already exists, but a
platform can configure this fail for the current user (e.g. you need
to be in the cvsadmin group on NetBSD 6.0).
* jc/test-cvs-no-init-in-existing-dir:
t9200: let "cvs init" create the test repository
t4014, t9502 and t0200 tests had various portability issues that
broke on OpenBSD.
* jc/maint-test-portability:
t4014: fix arguments to grep
t9502: do not assume GNU tar
t0200: "locale" may not exist
An element on GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES list that does not name the
real path to a directory (i.e. a symbolic link) could have caused
the GIT_DIR discovery logic to escape the ceiling.
* mh/ceiling:
string_list_longest_prefix(): remove function
setup_git_directory_gently_1(): resolve symlinks in ceiling paths
longest_ancestor_length(): require prefix list entries to be normalized
longest_ancestor_length(): take a string_list argument for prefixes
longest_ancestor_length(): use string_list_split()
Introduce new function real_path_if_valid()
real_path_internal(): add comment explaining use of cwd
Introduce new static function real_path_internal()
We earlier removed a link to list of contributors that pointed to a

Document that when using git svn, one should usually either use the
directory structure options to import branches as branches, or only
import one subdirectory. The default behaviour of cloning all branches
and tags as subdirectories in the working copy is usually not what the
user wants.

In the distant past, the order things were documented was
'Invocation', 'Commands', 'Capabilities', ...
Then it was decided that before giving a list of Commands, there
should be an overall description of the 'Input format', which was
a wise decision. However, this description was put as the very
first thing, with the rationale that any implementor would want
to know that first.
However, it seems an implementor would actually first need to
know how the remote helper will be invoked, so moving
'Invocation' to the front again seems logical. Moreover, we now
don't switch from discussing the input format to the invocation
style and then back to input related stuff.

Some platforms (e.g. NetBSD 6.0) seem to configure their CVS to
allow "cvs init" in an existing directory only to members of
"cvsadmin".
Instead of preparing an empty directory and then running "cvs init"
on it, let's run "cvs init" and let it create the necessary
directory.
