When you misuse a git command, you are shown the usage string.
But this is currently shown in the dashed form. So if you just
copy what you see, it will not work, when the dashed form
is no longer supported.
This patch makes git commands show the dash-less version.
For shell scripts that do not specify OPTIONS_SPEC, git-sh-setup.sh
generates a dash-less usage string now.

For everything other than using "git config" to read or write a
git-style config file that isn't the current repo's config file,
GIT_CONFIG was actively detrimental. Rather than argue over which
programs are important enough to have work anyway, just fix all of
them at the root.
Also removes GIT_LOCAL_CONFIG, which would only be useful for programs
that do want to use global git-specific config, but not the repo's own
git-specific config, and want to use some other, presumably
git-specific config. Despite being documented, I can't find any sign that
it was ever used.

git_config() only had a function parameter, but no callback data

This adds an option to help scripts find out color settings from
the configuration file.
git config --get-colorbool color.diff
inspects color.diff variable, and exits with status 0 (i.e. success) if
color is to be used. It exits with status 1 otherwise.
If a script wants "true"/"false" answer to the standard output of the
command, it can pass an additional boolean parameter to its command
line, telling if its standard output is a terminal, like this:
git config --get-colorbool color.diff true
When called like this, the command outputs "true" to its standard output
if color is to be used (i.e. "color.diff" says "always", "auto", or
"true"), and "false" otherwise.

In a subsequent patch the path to the system-wide config file will be
computed. This is a preparation for that change. It turns all accesses
of ETC_GITCONFIG into function calls. There is no change in behavior.
As a consequence, config.c is the only file that needs the definition of
ETC_GITCONFIG. Hence, -DETC_GITCONFIG is removed from the CFLAGS and a
special build rule for config.c is introduced. As a side-effect, changing
the defintion of ETC_GITCONFIG (e.g. in config.mak) does not trigger a
complete rebuild anymore.

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 patch is based on Pasky's, with three notable differences:
- I did not yet update the documentation
- I named it .gitconfig, not .gitrc
- git-repo-config does not barf when a unique key is overridden locally
The last means that if you have something like
[alias]
l = log --stat -M
in ~/.gitconfig, and
[alias]
l = log --stat -M next..
in $GIT_DIR/config, then
git-repo-config alias.l
returns only one value, namely the value from $GIT_DIR/config.
If you set the environment variable GIT_CONFIG, $HOME/.gitconfig is not
read, and neither $GIT_DIR/config, but $GIT_CONFIG instead.
If you set GIT_CONFIG_LOCAL instead, it is interpreted instead of
$GIT_DIR/config, but $HOME/.gitconfig is still read.

I was just testing that "git ls-remote" change by Junio, and when you're
not in a git repository, it gives this totally bogus warning. The _target_
obviously has to be a git repository, but there's no reason why you'd have
to be in a local git repo when doing an ls-remote.
The reason is commit 73136b2e8a by Dscho: it
adds calls to git-repo-config in git-parse-remote.sh to get the remote
shorthands etc.
Now, either we should just hide and ignore the error from git-repo-config
(probably bad, because some errors _are_ valid - like git-repo-config
failing due to bad syntax in the config file), or we should just make
git-repo-config quietly handle the case of not being in a git repository.
This does the latter: just quietly accepting (and doing nothing - trying
to set a value will result in the lock-file failing) our lot in life
sounds better than dying with a bogus error message.

This updates the hierarchical section name syntax to
[section<space>+"<randomstring>"]
where the only rule for "randomstring" is that it can't contain a newline,
and if you really want to insert a double-quote, you do it with \".
It turns that into the section name "secion.randomstring". The
"section" part is still case insensitive, but the "randomstring"
part is case sensitive.
So you could use this for things like
[email "torvalds@osdl.org"]
name = Linus Torvalds
if you wanted to do the "email->name" conversion as part of the config
file format (I'm not claiming that is sensible, I'm just giving it as an
insane example). That would show up as the association
email.torvalds@osdl.org.name -> Linus Torvalds
which is easy to parse (the "." in the email _looks_ ambiguous, but it
isn't: you know that there will always be a single key-name, so you find
the key name with "strrchr(name, '.')" and things are entirely
unambiguous).
Repo-config is updated to be able to parse the new format, and also
write things out in the new format.
[jc: rolled two patches from Linus and one fix-up from Sean into one,
with additional adjustments for t/t1300 test to check the case
insensitiveness of section base and variable and case sensitiveness

the result applicable to the stale 1.3.X series that does not have
recent enhancements. ]
