Although everybody was quiet during the Christmas holiday, it's been
a week since -rc1, so here is -rc2.

HPA noticed that yum does not like the newer git RPM set; it turns out
that we do not ship git-p4 anymore but existing installations do not
realize the package is gone if we do not tell anything about it.
David Kastrup suggests using Obsoletes in the spec file of the new
RPM to replace the old package, so here is a try.

Earlier git.git applied a large "war on whitespace" patch that was
created using 'apply --whitespace=strip'. Unfortunately a few of
git-gui's own files got caught in the mix and were also cleaned up.
That was a6080a0a44.
This patch is needed in git-gui.git to reapply those exact same
changes here, otherwise our version generator script is unable to
obtain our version number from git-describe when we are hosted in
the git.git repository.

This uses "git-apply --whitespace=strip" to fix whitespace errors that have
crept in to our source files over time. There are a few files that need
to have trailing whitespaces (most notably, test vectors). The results
still passes the test, and build result in Documentation/ area is unchanged.

Not that this release really matters, as we will be doing
1.5.1 tomorrow. This commit is to tie the loose ends and
merge all of "maint" branch into "master" in preparation.

I think we can start to slow down, as we now have covered
everything I listed earlier in the short-term release plan.
The last release 1.5.0 took painfully too long.

When somebody else extracts git tarball inside a larger project,
'git describe' would reported the version number of that upper
level project.
Sometimes, using the consistent versioning across subdirectories
of a larger project is useful, but it may not always be the
right thing to do.
This changes the script to check ./vertion file first, and then
fall back to "git describe". This way, by default, tarball
distribution will get our own version. If the upper level wants
to use consistent versioning across its subdirectories, its
Makefile can overwrite ./version file to force whatever version
number they want to give us before descending into us.

Some distributions are using Git for part of their package
management system, but unpack Git's own source code for
delivery from the .tar.gz. This means that when we walk
up the directory tree with git-describe to locate a Git
repository, the repository we find is for the distribution
and *not* for git-gui. Consequently any tag we might find
there is bogus and does not apply to us.
In this case the version file should always exist and be
readable, as the packager is working from the released
.tar.gz sources. So we should always favor the version
file over anything git-describe guess for us.
