The caret (^) is used as a markup symbol in AsciiDoc. Due to the
inability of AsciiDoc to parse a line containing an unmatched caret, it
omitted the line from the output, resulting in the man page missing the
end of a sentence. Escape this caret so that the man page ends up with
the complete text.

The string-list API has STRING_LIST_INIT_* macros to be used
to define variables with initializers, but lacks functions
to initialize an uninitialized piece of memory to be used as
a string-list at the run-time.
Introduce `string_list_init()` function for that.

Use trace_performance to measure and print execution time and command line
arguments of the entire main() function. In constrast to the shell's 'time'
utility, which measures total time of the parent process, this logs all
involved git commands recursively. This is particularly useful to debug
performance issues of scripted commands (i.e. which git commands were
called with which parameters, and how long did they execute).
Due to git's deliberate use of exit(), the implementation uses an atexit
routine rather than just adding trace_performance_since() at the end of
main().
Usage example: > GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE=~/git-trace.log git stash list
Creates a log file like this:
23:57:38.638765 trace.c:405 performance: 0.000310107 s: git command: 'git' 'rev-parse' '--git-dir'
23:57:38.644387 trace.c:405 performance: 0.000261759 s: git command: 'git' 'rev-parse' '--show-toplevel'

Interning short strings with high probability of duplicates can reduce the
memory footprint and speed up comparisons.
Add strintern() and memintern() APIs that use a hashmap to manage the pool
of unique, interned strings.
Note: strintern(getenv()) could be used to sanitize git's use of getenv(),
in case we ever encounter a platform where a call to getenv() invalidates
previous getenv() results (which is allowed by POSIX).

Hashmap entries are typically looked up by just a key. The hashmap_get()
API expects an initialized entry structure instead, to support compound
keys. This flexibility is currently only needed by find_dir_entry() in
name-hash.c (and compat/win32/fscache.c in the msysgit fork). All other
(currently five) call sites of hashmap_get() have to set up a near emtpy
entry structure, resulting in duplicate code like this:
struct hashmap_entry keyentry;
hashmap_entry_init(&keyentry, hash(key));
return hashmap_get(map, &keyentry, key);
Add a hashmap_get_from_hash() API that allows hashmap lookups by just
specifying the key and its hash code, i.e.:
return hashmap_get_from_hash(map, hash(key), key);

One of the purposes of "git replace --edit" is to help a
user repair objects which are malformed or corrupted.
Usually we pretty-print trees with "ls-tree", which is much
easier to work with than the raw binary data. However, some
forms of corruption break the tree-walker, in which case our
pretty-printing fails, rendering "--edit" useless for the
user.
This patch introduces a "--raw" option, which lets you edit
the binary data in these instances.

Commit signatures can be verified using "git show -s --show-signature"
or the "%G?" pretty format and parsing the output, which is well suited
for user inspection, but not for scripting.
Provide a command "verify-commit" which is analogous to "verify-tag": It
returns 0 for good signatures and non-zero otherwise, has the gpg output
on stderr and (optionally) the commit object on stdout, sans the
signature, just like "verify-tag" does.

Normally scripts do not have to be aware about split indexes because
all shared indexes are in $GIT_DIR. A simple "mv $tmp_index
$GIT_DIR/somewhere" is enough. Scripts that generate temporary indexes
and move them across repos must be aware about split index and copy
the shared file as well. This option enables that.

If you have a large work tree but only make changes in a subset, then
$GIT_DIR/index's size should be stable after a while. If you change
branches that touch something else, $GIT_DIR/index's size may grow
large that it becomes as slow as the unified index. Do --split-index
again occasionally to force all changes back to the shared index and
keep $GIT_DIR/index small.

This split-index mode is designed to keep write cost proportional to
the number of changes the user has made, not the size of the work
tree. (Read cost is another matter, to be dealt separately.)
This mode stores index info in a pair of $GIT_DIR/index and
$GIT_DIR/sharedindex.<SHA-1>. sharedindex is large and unchanged over
time while "index" is smaller and updated often. Format details are in
index-format.txt, although not everything is implemented in this
patch.
Shared indexes are not automatically removed, because it's unclear if
the shared index is needed by any (even temporary) indexes by just
looking at it. After a while you'll collect stale shared indexes. The
good news is one shared index is useable for long, until
$GIT_DIR/index becomes too big and sluggish that the new shared index
must be created.
The safest way to clean shared indexes is to turn off split index
mode, so shared files are all garbage, delete them all, then turn on
split index mode again.

Patch id changes if users reorder file diffs that make up a patch.
As the result is functionally equivalent, a different patch id is
surprising to many users.
In particular, reordering files using diff -O is helpful to make patches
more readable (e.g. API header diff before implementation diff).
Add an option to change patch-id behaviour making it stable against
these kinds of patch change:
calculate SHA1 hash for each hunk separately and sum all hashes
(using a symmetrical sum) to get patch id
We use a 20byte sum and not xor - since xor would give 0 output
for patches that have two identical diffs, which isn't all that
unlikely (e.g. append the same line in two places).
The new behaviour is enabled
- when patchid.stable is true
- when --stable flag is present
Using a new flag --unstable or setting patchid.stable to false force
the historical behaviour.
In the documentation, clarify that patch ID can now be a sum of hashes,
not a hash.
Document how command line and config options affect the
behaviour.

STRING_LIST_INIT_{NODUP,DUP} initializers list values only
for earlier structure members, relying on the usual
convention in C that the omitted members are initailized to
0, i.e. the former is expanded to the latter:
struct string_list l = STRING_LIST_INIT_DUP;
struct string_list l = { NULL, 0, 0, 1 };
and the last member that is not mentioned (i.e. 'cmp') is
initialized to NULL.
While there is nothing wrong in this construct, spelling out
all the values where the macros are defined will serve also
as a documentation, so let's do so.

Since the introduction of opportunisitic updates of remote-tracking
branches, started at around f2690487 (fetch: opportunistically
update tracking refs, 2013-05-11) with a few updates in v1.8.4 era,
the remote.*.fetch configuration always kicks in even when a refspec
to specify what to fetch is given on the command line, and there is
no way to disable or override it per-invocation.
Teach the command to pay attention to the --refmap=<lhs>:<rhs>
command-line options that can be used to override the use of
configured remote.*.fetch as the refmap.
