For systems with a missing or broken perl, it is nicer to
explicitly say "we don't want perl" because:
1. The Makefile knows not to bother with Perl-ish things
like Git.pm.
2. We can print a more user-friendly error message
than "foo is not a git command" or whatever the broken
perl might barf
3. Test scripts that require perl can mark themselves and
such and be skipped
This patch implements parts (1) and (2). The perl/
subdirectory is skipped entirely, gitweb is not built, and
any git commands which rely on perl will print a
human-readable message and exit with an error code.
This patch is based on one from Robin H. Johnson.

When merging merge bases during a recursive merge we do not want to
leave any unmerged entries. Otherwise we cannot create a temporary
tree for the recursive merge to work with.
We failed to do so in case of a submodule conflict between merge
bases, causing a NULL pointer dereference in the next step of the
recursive merge.

In "git-bisect.sh" the "git checkout" command is only used to
change the current branch, but it is used like this:
git checkout "$branch"
which will output the following misleading error message when
it fails:
error: pathspec 'foo' did not match any file(s) known to git.
This patch change the way we use "git checkout" like this:
git checkout "$branch" --
so that we will get the following error message:
fatal: invalid reference: foo
which is better.

Commit 6e18251 (send-email: refactor and ensure prompting doesn't loop
forever) introduced an ask function, which unfortunately had a nasty
bug. This caused it not to accept anything but the default reply to the
"Who should the emails appear to be from?" prompt, and nothing but
ctrl-d to the "Who should the emails be sent to?" and "Message-ID to be
used as In-Reply-To for the first email?" prompts.
This commit corrects the issues and adds a test to confirm the fix.

While 'git checkout <submodule>' should not update the submodule's
working directory, it should update the index. This is in line with
how submodules are handled in the rest of Git.
While at it, test 'git reset [<commit>] <submodule>', too.

When using multi-pass authentication methods, the curl library may
need to rewind the read buffers (depending on how much already has
been fed to the server) used for providing data to HTTP PUT, POST or
PROPFIND, and in order to allow the library to do so, we need to tell
it how by providing either an ioctl callback or a seek callback.
This patch adds an ioctl callback, which should be usable on older
curl versions (since 7.12.3) than the seek callback (introduced in
curl 7.18.0).
Some HTTP servers (such as Apache) give an 401 error reply immediately
after receiving the headers (so no data has been read from the read
buffers, and thus no rewinding is needed), but other servers (such
as Lighttpd) only replies after the whole request has been sent and
all data has been read from the read buffers, making rewinding necessary.
