Apparently using the Storable module during global destruction is
unsafe - there is a bug which can cause segmentation faults:
http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=36087http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=482355
The persistent memoization support introduced in commit 8bff7c538
relied on global destruction to write cached data, which was leading
to segfaults in some Perl configurations. Calling Memoize::unmemoize
in the END block forces the cache writeout to be performed earlier,
thus avoiding the bug.

We have become used to the features of svnmailer when used with Subversion,
and one of those useful features is that it can limit the maximum length
(in lines) of a commit email message. This is terribly useful since once the
goes beyond a reasonable number of lines, nobody is going to read the remainder,
and if they really want the entire contents of the commits, they can use
git itself to get them using the revision IDs present in the message already.
Change the post-receive-email script to respond to an 'emailmaxlines' config key
which, if specified, will limit the number of lines generated (including
headers); any lines beyond the limit are suppressed, and a final line is added
indicating the number that were suppressed.

The current make target 'aggregate-results' scanned all files matching
test-results/t*-*. Normally these are only the test counts (and the
exit values, which are ignored), but with --tee the suite also dumps
all output. Furthermore, with --verbose t1450 contains several lines
starting with "broken link from ..." which matches the criteria used
by aggregate-results.sh.
Rename the counts output files to *.counts, and only scan those.

Earlier we tried to make sure that the trees we get are what A...B
syntax produced, by checking that earlier ones are all marked
uninteresting (which has to be true as they are merge bases),
there are two remaining ones that are interesting, and they are
marked as non-symmetric-left and symmetric-left respectively.
The "the last two must be interesting" condition is however wrong when one
is an ancestor of the other between A and B (i.e. fast-forward). In such
a case, one of them is marked uninteresting.
approxidate() is not appropriate for reading machine-written dates
because it guesses instead of erroring out on malformed dates.
parse_date() is less convenient since it returns its output as a
string. So export the underlying function that writes a timestamp.
While at it, change the return value to match the usual convention:
return 0 for success and -1 for failure.

73e25e7c (git --paginate: do not commit pager choice too early,
2010-06-26) failed to take some cases into account.
1b. Builtins that do not use RUN_SETUP (like git config) do
not find GIT_DIR set correctly when the pager is launched
from run_builtin(). So the core.pager configuration is
not honored from subdirectories of the toplevel for them.
4a. External git commands (like git request-pull) relied on the
early pager launch to take care of handling the -p option.
Ever since 73e25e7c, they do not honor the -p option at all.
4b. Commands invoked through ! aliases (like ls) were also relying
on the early pager launch.
Fix (4a) by launching the pager (if requested) before running such a
“dashed external”. For simplicity, this still does not search for a
.git directory before running the external command; when run from a
subdirectory of the toplevel, therefore, the “[core] pager”
configuration is still not honored.
Fix (4b) by launching pager if requested before carrying out such an
alias. Actually doing this has no effect, since the pager (if any)
would have already been launched in a failed attempt to try a
dashed external first. The choice-of-pager-not-honored-from-
subdirectory bug still applies here, too.
(1b) is not a regression. There is no need to fix it yet.

15b4f7a (merge-tree: use ll_merge() not xdl_merge(), 2010-01-16)
introduced a regression to merge-tree to cause it to segfault when merging
files which existed in one branch, but not in the other or in the
merge-base. This was caused by referencing entry->path at a time when
entry was known to be possibly-NULL.
To correct the problem, we save the path of the entry we came in with,
as the path should be the same among all the stages no matter which
sides are involved in the merge.

The original declaration was int, which seems to cause trouble on my
machine. It causes spurious "filesystem boundary" errors when running
the testsuite. The cause seems to be
$ stat -c%d .
2147549952
which is too large for a 32-bit int type.
Using the correct type, dev_t, solves the issue. (Because I'm
paranoid and forgetful, I checked -- yes, Unix v7 had dev_t.)
Other uses of st_dev seem to be reasonably safe. fill_stat_cache_info
truncates it to an 'unsigned int', but that value seems to be used only
to validate the cache, and only if USE_STDEV is defined.

Currently, the graph code is hardcoded to use ANSI color escapes for
coloring the column characters in the generated graphs. This patch
allows a custom scheme of colors to be set at runtime, allowing
different types of color escapes to be used.
A new function - graph_set_column_colors() - is added to the graph.h API,
which allows a custom column_colors array (and column_colors_max value)
to replace the builtin ANSI array (and _max value). The new function -
if used - must be called before graph_init() is called.

t0005: work around strange $? in ksh when program terminated by a signal
This script is part of the second batch of tests, from the same day
the test infrastructure was added to git. Update it to use a more
modern style in the spirit of v1.6.4-rc0~45^2~2 (2009-05-22).
In particular:
- Put setup code inside test assertions, to avoid unexpected
breakages and avoid stray output without -v (as t/README
recommends); and
- Put the test title on the same line as the "test_expect_success",
and end the line with a single-quote to begin the body of the test
which is one multi-line string.
