git-checkout.txt: fix incorrect statement about HEAD and index
Most of the time when we give branch name in the message, we quote it
inside a pair of single-quotes. git-checkout uses double-quotes; this
patch corrects the inconsistency.

Commit 0925ce4(Add map_user() and clear_mailmap() to mailmap) broke the

.mailmap has only lower-case email addresses; However, we did not
require .mailmap to contain lowercase-only email addresses.

To find the blob object name given a tree and pathname, we were
incorrectly calling "git ls-tree" with a "--" argument followed
by the pathname of the file we wanted to get.
git ls-tree <TREE> -- --dashed/path/name.c
Unlike many command-line interfaces, the "--" alone does not
symbolize the end of non-option arguments on the command-line.
ls-tree interprets the "--" as a prefix to match against, thus
the entire contents of the --dashed/* hierarchy would be
returned because the "--" matches "--dashed" and every path
under it.
Thanks to Anton Gyllenberg for pointing me toward the
Twisted repository as a real-world example of this case.

Embarrassingly, the common prefix calculation did not work properly, due
to a mistake in the assignment: instead of assigning the dirname of the
current file name, the dirname of the current common prefix needs to
be assigned to common prefix, when the current prefix does not match the
current file name.

Users were confused about the meaning and use of the --root option.
Notably, since 68c2ec7 (format-patch: show patch text for the root
commit, 2009-01-10), --root has nothing to do with showing the patch
text for the root commit any more.
Shorten and clarify the corresponding paragraph in the DESCRIPTION
section, document --root under OPTIONS, and add an explicit note that
root commits are formatted regardless.

On a 32-bit system, the maximum possible size for an object is less than
4GB, while 64-bit systems may cope with larger objects. Due to this
limitation, variables holding object sizes are using an unsigned long
type (32 bits on 32-bit systems, or 64 bits on 64-bit systems).
When large objects are encountered, and/or people play with large delta
depth values, it is possible for the maximum allowed delta size
computation to overflow, especially on a 32-bit system. When this
occurs, surviving result bits may represent a value much smaller than
what it is supposed to be, or even zero. This prevents some objects
from being deltified although they do get deltified when a smaller depth
limit is used. Fix this by always performing a 64-bit multiplication.
