"gcc -MF depfile -MMD -MP -c -o path/to/file.o" produces a makefile
snippet named "depfile" describing what files are needed to build the
target given by "-o". When ccache versions before v3.0pre0~187 (Fix
handling of the -MD and -MDD options, 2009-11-01) run, they execute
gcc -MF depfile -MMD -MP -E
instead to get the final content for hashing. Notice that the "-c -o"
combination is replaced by "-E". The result is a target name without
a leading path.
Thus when building git with such versions of ccache with
COMPUTE_HEADER_DEPENDENCIES enabled, the generated makefile snippets
define dependencies for the wrong target:
$ make builtin/add.o
GIT_VERSION = 1.7.8.rc3
* new build flags or prefix
CC builtin/add.o
$ head -1 builtin/.depend/add.o.d
add.o: builtin/add.c cache.h git-compat-util.h compat/bswap.h strbuf.h \
After a change in a header file, object files in a subdirectory are
not automatically rebuilt by "make":
$ touch cache.h
$ make builtin/add.o
$
Luckily we can prevent trouble by explicitly supplying the name of the
target to ccache and gcc, using the -MQ option. Do so.

While debugging an error with verify_signed_buffer() the error
messages from run-command weren't very useful:
error: cannot create pipe for gpg: Too many open files
error: could not run gpg.
because they didn't indicate *which* pipe couldn't be created.
Print which pipe failed to be created in the error message so we
can more easily debug similar problems in the future.
For example, the above error now prints:
error: cannot create standard error pipe for gpg: Too many open files
error: could not run gpg.

In the earlier days, we used to spell the name of the system as GIT,
to simulate as if it were typeset with capital G and IT in small
caps. Later we stopped doing so at around 1.6.5 days.
Let's stop doing so throughout the documentation. The name to refer
to the whole system (and the concept it embodies) is "Git"; the
command end-users type is "git". And document this in the coding
guideline.

"git am -3" uses this function to build a tree that records how the
preimage the patch was created from would have looked like. An
abbreviated object name on the index line is ordinarily sufficient
for us to figure out the object name the preimage tree would have
contained, but a change to a submodule by definition shows an object
name of a submodule commit which our repository should not have, and
get_sha1_blob() is not an appropriate way to read it (or get_sha1()
for that matter).
Use get_sha1_hex() and complain if we do not find a full object name
there.
We could read from the payload part of the patch to learn the full
object name of the commit, but the primary user "git rebase" has
been fixed to give us a full object name, so this should suffice
for now.

The local variable sha1_ptr in the build_fake_ancestor() function
used to either point at the null_sha1[] (if the ancestor did not
have the path) or at sha1[] (if we read the object name into the
local array), but 7a98869 (apply: get rid of --index-info in favor
of --build-fake-ancestor, 2007-09-17) made the "missing in the
ancestor" case unnecessary, hence sha1_ptr, when used, always points
at the local array.
Get rid of the unneeded variable, and restructure the if/else
cascade a bit to make it easier to read. There should be no
behaviour change.
