Even long timers seem to have missed that "format-patch -1 $commit" is a
much simpler and more obvious way to say "format-patch $commit^..$commit"
from the current documentation (and an example "format-patch -3 $commit"
to get three patches). Add an explicit instruction in a much earlier part
of the documentation to make it easier to find.

The comments for normalize_absolute_path explicitly claim
that the source and destination buffers may be the same
(though they may not otherwise overlap). Thus the call to
memcpy may involve copying overlapping data, and memmove
should be used instead.

In the main loop of find_deltas, we do:
struct object_entry *entry = *list++;
...
if (!*list_size)
...
break
Because we look at and increment *list _before_ the check of
list_size, in the very last iteration of the loop we will
look at uninitialized data, and increment the pointer beyond
one past the end of the allocated space. Since we don't
actually do anything with the data until after the check,
this is not a problem in practice.
But since it technically violates the C standard, and
because it provokes a spurious valgrind warning, let's just
move the initialization of entry to a safe place.
This fixes valgrind errors in t5300, t5301, t5302, t303, and
t9400.

Most cache_entry structs are allocated by using the
cache_entry_size macro, which rounds the size of the struct
up to the nearest multiple of 8 bytes (presumably to avoid
memory fragmentation).
There is one exception: the special "conflict entry" is
allocated with an empty name, and so is explicitly given
just one extra byte to hold the NUL.
However, later code doesn't realize that this particular
struct has been allocated differently, and happily tries
reading and copying it based on the ce_size macro, which
assumes the 8-byte alignment.
This can lead to reading uninitalized data, though since
that data is simply padding, there shouldn't be any problem
as a result. Still, it makes sense to hold the padding
assumption so as not to surprise later maintainers.
This fixes valgrind errors in t1005, t3030, t4002, and
t4114.

In this case we did nothing in the past, but we should delete the
reference in fact.
The problem was that when the symref is not packed but the referenced
ref is packed, then we assumed that the symref is packed as well, but
symrefs are never packed.

This allows us replace perl when getting the mtime of a file because
of time zone conversions, though at the moment only one platform which
does this has been identified: Cygwin when used with ActiveState Perl
(as usual).
The output format is:
<mtime1> TAB <filename1> <LF>
<mtime2> TAB <filename2> <LF>
...
which, if only mtime is needed can be parsed with cut(1):
test-chmtime -v +0 filename1 | cut -f 1
Also, the change adds a description of programs features, with examples.

06cbe855 (Make core.sharedRepository more generic, 2008-04-16) made
several testcases in t1301-shared-repo.sh which fail if on a system
which creates files with extended attributes (e.g. SELinux), since ls
appends a '+' sign to the permission set in such cases. In fact,
POSIX.1 allows ls to add a single printable character after the usual
3x3 permission bits to show that an optional alternate/additional access
method is associated with the path.
This fixes the testcase to strip any such sign prior to verifying the
permission set.
