daemon is torn down were flaky. This was fixed by reacting to
ECONNRESET and behaving as if we got an EOF.

* Some versions of GnuPG fail to kill gpg-agent it auto-spawned
and such a left-over agent can interfere with a test. Work it
around by attempting to kill one before starting a new test.

* "git log --tag=no-such-tag" showed log starting from HEAD, which
has been fixed---it now shows nothing.

* The "tag.pager" configuration variable was useless for those who
actually create tag objects, as it interfered with the use of an
editor. A new mechanism has been introduced for commands to enable
pager depending on what operation is being carried out to fix this,
and then "git tag -l" is made to run pager by default.

* "git push --recurse-submodules $there HEAD:$target" was not
propagated down to the submodules, but now it is.

* Commands like "git rebase" accepted the --rerere-autoupdate option
from the command line, but did not always use it. This has been
fixed.

* "git clone --recurse-submodules --quiet" did not pass the quiet
option down to submodules.

* "git am -s" has been taught that some input may end with a trailer
block that is not Signed-off-by: and it should refrain from adding
an extra blank line before adding a new sign-off in such a case.

* "git svn" used with "--localtime" option did not compute the tz
offset for the timestamp in question and instead always used the
current time, which has been corrected.

* Memory leaks in a few error codepaths have been plugged.

* bash 4.4 or newer gave a warning on NUL byte in command
substitution done in "git stash"; this has been squelched.

* "git grep -L" and "git grep --quiet -L" reported different exit
codes; this has been corrected.

* When handshake with a subprocess filter notices that the process
asked for an unknown capability, Git did not report what program
the offending subprocess was running. This has been corrected.

* "git apply" that is used as a better "patch -p1" failed to apply a
taken from a file with CRLF line endings to a file with CRLF line
endings. The root cause was because it misused convert_to_git()
that tried to do "safe-crlf" processing by looking at the index
entry at the same path, which is a nonsense---in that mode, "apply"
is not working on the data in (or derived from) the index at all.
This has been fixed.

* Killing "git merge --edit" before the editor returns control left
the repository in a state with MERGE_MSG but without MERGE_HEAD,
which incorrectly tells the subsequent "git commit" that there was
a squash merge in progress. This has been fixed.

* "git archive" did not work well with pathspecs and the
export-ignore attribute.

Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
