Now when using "git help -w cmd", we will try to show the HTML man
page "git-cmd.html" in your prefered web browser.
To do that "help.c" code will call a new shell script
"git-browse-help".
This currently works only if the HTML versions of the man page
have been installed in $(htmldir) (typically "/usr/share/doc/git-doc"),
so new target to do that is added to "Documentation/Makefile".
The browser to use can be configured using the "web.browser"
config variable.
We try to open a new tab in an existing web browser, if possible.
The code in "git-browse-help" is heavily stolen from "git-mergetool"
by Theodore Y. Ts'o. Thanks.

Prepend $(prefix)/share/man to the MANPATH environment variable before
invoking 'man' from help.c:show_man_page(). There may be other git
documentation in the user's MANPATH but the user is asking a specific
instance of git about its own documentation, so we'd better show the
documentation for _that_ instance of git.

Git had previously been using the $PATH for scripts--a previous
patch moved exec'ed commands to also use the $PATH. For consistency
"help -a" should also list commands in the $PATH.
The main commands are still listed from the git_exec_path(), but
the $PATH is walked and other git commands (probably extensions) are
listed.

list_commands() currently accepts and ignores a "pattern" argument,
and then hard codes a prefix as well as some magic numbers. This
hardcodes the prefix inside of the function and removes the magic
numbers.

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.

This mechanically converts strncmp() to use prefixcmp(), but only when
the parameters match specific patterns, so that they can be verified
easily. Leftover from this will be fixed in a separate step, including
idiotic conversions like
if (!strncmp("foo", arg, 3))
=>
if (!(-prefixcmp(arg, "foo")))
This was done by using this script in px.perl
#!/usr/bin/perl -i.bak -p
if (/strncmp\(([^,]+), "([^\\"]*)", (\d+)\)/ && (length($2) == $3)) {
s|strncmp\(([^,]+), "([^\\"]*)", (\d+)\)|prefixcmp($1, "$2")|;
}
if (/strncmp\("([^\\"]*)", ([^,]+), (\d+)\)/ && (length($1) == $3)) {
s|strncmp\("([^\\"]*)", ([^,]+), (\d+)\)|(-prefixcmp($2, "$1"))|;
}
and running:
$ git grep -l strncmp -- '*.c' | xargs perl px.perl

Some of the short help texts that are shown e.g. when running 'git'
without any parameters wrap on a 80-column terminal. They are just
one character over the line. This patch avoids it by decreasing the
number of spaces around the preceding command name from four to
three (on both sides for symmetry).

This is a mechanical clean-up of the way *.c files include
system header files.
(1) sources under compat/, platform sha-1 implementations, and
xdelta code are exempt from the following rules;
(2) the first #include must be "git-compat-util.h" or one of
our own header file that includes it first (e.g. config.h,
builtin.h, pkt-line.h);
(3) system headers that are included in "git-compat-util.h"
need not be included in individual C source files.
(4) "git-compat-util.h" does not have to include subsystem
specific header files (e.g. expat.h).

This cleans up the build procedure for built-in commands by:
- generating mostly redundant definition of BUILT_INS from
BUILTIN_OBJS in the Makefile,
- renaming a few files to make the above possible, and
- sorting the built-in command table in git.c.
It might be a good idea to binary search (or perfect hash) the built-in
command table, but that can be done later when somebody feels like.

The cmd_usage() routine was causing warning messages due to a NULL
format parameter being passed in three out of four calls. This is a
problem if you want to compile with -Werror. A simple solution is to
simply remove the GNU __attribute__ format pragma from the cmd_usage()
declaration in the header file. The function interface was somewhat
muddled anyway, so re-write the code to finesse the problem.
[jc: this incidentally revealed that t9100 test assumed that the output
from "git help" to be fixed in stone, but this patch lower-cases
"Usage" to "usage". Update the test not to rely on "git help" output.]

With this, you can say
git --bare repack -a -d
inside a bare repository, and it will actually work. While at it,
also move the --version, --help and --exec-path options to the
handle_options() function.
While at documenting the new options, also document the --paginate
option.

When I split out the builtin commands into their own files, I left the
include of <sys/ioctl.h> in git.c rather than moving it to the file that
needed it (builtin-help.c).
Nobody seems to have noticed, because everything still worked, but because
the TIOCGWINSZ macro was now no longer defined when compiling the
"term_columns()" function, it would no longer automatically notice the
terminal size unless your system used the ancient "COLUMNS" environment
variable approach.
Trivially fixed by just moving the header include to the file that
actually needs it.

Right now it split it into "builtin-log.c" for log-related commands
("log", "show" and "whatchanged"), and "builtin-help.c" for the
informational commands (usage printing and "help" and "version").
This just makes things easier to read, I find.
