The change was actually about "git init -s" which sets the setgid bit on
SysV-style systems to allow shared access to a repository, and can provoke
errors on BSD-style systems, depending on how permissive the filesystem in
use wants to be.
More to the point, the patch was just taking a fix that arrived for
FreeBSD in v1.5.5 days and making it also apply to machines using an
(obscure) GNU userland/FreeBSD kernel mixture.

This use of strbuf_grow() is a historical artifact that was once used to
ensure that strbuf.buf was allocated and properly nul-terminated. This
was added before the introduction of the slopbuf in b315c5c0, which
guarantees that strbuf.buf always points to a usable nul-terminated string.
So let's remove it.

I noticed this when "git am CORRUPTED" unexpectedly failed with an
odd diagnostic, and even removed one of the files it was supposed
to have patched.
Reproduce with any valid old/new patch from which you have removed
the "+++ b/FILE" line. You'll see a diagnostic like this
fatal: unable to write file '(null)' mode 100644: Bad address
and you'll find that FILE has been removed.
The above is on glibc-based systems. On other systems, rather than
getting "null", you may provoke a segfault as git tries to
dereference the NULL file name.

The previous logic in show_config was to print the delimiter when the
value was set, but Boolean variables have an implicit value "true" when
they appear with no value in the config file. As a result, we got:
git_Config --get-regexp '.*\.Boolean' #1. Ok: example.boolean
git_Config --bool --get-regexp '.*\.Boolean' #2. NO: example.booleantrue
Fix this by defering the display of the separator until after the value
to display has been computed.

The g+s bit on directories to make group ownership inherited is a
SysVism --- BSD and most of its descendants do not need it since they
do the sane thing by default without g+s. In fact, on some
filesystems (but not all --- tmpfs works this way but UFS does not),
the kernel of FreeBSD does not even allow non-root users to set setgid
bit on directories and produces errors when one tries:
$ git init --shared dir
fatal: Could not make /tmp/dir/.git/refs writable by group
Since the setgid bit would only mean "do what you were going to do
already", it's better to avoid setting it. Accordingly, ever since
v1.5.5-rc0~59^2 (Do not use GUID on dir in git init --share=all on
FreeBSD, 2008-03-05), git on true FreeBSD has done exactly that. Set
DIR_HAS_BSD_GROUP_SEMANTICS in the makefile for GNU/kFreeBSD, too, so
machines that use glibc with the kernel of FreeBSD get the same fix.
This fixes t0001-init.sh and t1301-shared-repo.sh on GNU/kFreeBSD
when running tests with --root pointing to a directory that uses
tmpfs.

unconditionally dropped XDF_NEED_MINIMAL option from the internal xdiff
invocation to help performance on pathological cases, while hinting that a
follow-up patch could reintroduce it with "--minimal" option from the
command line.

Checking paths out of a tree is (currently) defined to do:
- Grab the paths from the named tree that match the given pathspec,
and add them to the index;
- Check out the contents from the index for paths that match the
pathspec to the working tree; and while at it
- If the given pathspec did not match anything, suspect a typo from the
command line and error out without updating the index nor the working
tree.
Suppose that the branch you are working on has dir/myfile, and the "other"
branch has dir/other but not dir/myfile. Further imagine that you have
either modified or removed dir/myfile in your working tree, but you have
not run "git add dir/myfile" or "git rm dir/myfile" to tell Git about your
local change. Running
$ git checkout other dir
would add dir/other to the index with the contents taken out of the
"other" branch, and check out the paths from the index that match the
pathspec "dir", namely, "dir/other" and "dir/myfile", overwriting your
local changes to "dir/myfile", even though "other" branch does not even
know about that file.
Fix it by updating the working tree only with the index entries that
was read from the "other" tree.

Remove the sample post-commit and post-receive hooks. The sample
post-commit doesn't contain any sample functionality and the comments do
not provide more information than already found in the documentation.
The sample post-receive hooks doesn't provide any sample functionality
either and refers in the comments to a contrib hook that might be

27af01d (xdiff/xprepare: improve O(n*m) performance in
xdl_cleanup_records(), 2011-08-17) was supposed to be a performance
boost only. However, it unexpectedly changed the behaviour of diff.
Revert a part of 27af01d that removes logic that mark lines as
"multi-match" (ie. dis[i] == 2). This was preventing the multi-match
discard heuristic (performed in xdl_cleanup_records() and
xdl_clean_mmatch()) from executing.
