Commit c1a4278e switched the "merging checkout" implementation
from 3-way read-tree to merge-recursive, but forgot that
merge-recursive will signal an unmerged state with its own exit
status code. This prevented the clean-up phase (paths cleanly
merged should not be updated in the index) from running.

Git prefers that all log messages are encoding in UTF-8. So now when
git-gui generates the commit message it converts the commit message
text from the internal Tcl Unicode representation into a UTF-8 file.
The file is then fed as stdin to git-commit-tree. I had to start
using a file here rather than feeding the message in with << as
<< uses the system encoding, which we may not want.
When we reload a commit message via git-cat-file we are getting the
raw byte stream, with no encoding performed by Git itself. So unless
the new 'encoding' header appears in the message we should probably
assume it is utf-8 encoded; but if the header is present we need to
use whatever it claims.

Since git operates on filenames using the operating system encoding
any data we are receiving from it by way of a pipe, or sending to it
by way of a pipe must be formatted in that encoding. This should
be the same as the Tcl system encoding, as its the encoding that
applications should be using to converse with the operating system.
Sadly this does not fix the gitweb/test file in git.git on Macs;
that's due to something really broken happening in the filesystem.

Users may want to know what a file is before they add it to the
repository, especially if its a binary file. So when possible
invoke 'file' on the path and try to get its output. Since
this is strictly advice to the user we won't bother to report
any failures from our attempt to run `file`.
Since some file commands also output the path name they were
given we look for that case and strip it off the front of the
returned output before placing it into the diff viewer.

Our internal diff viewer displays untracked files to help users see if
they should become tracked, or not. It is not meant as a full file
viewer that handles any sort of input. Consequently it is rather
unreasonable for users to expect us to show them very large files.
Some users may click on a very big file (and not know its very big)
then get surprised when Tk takes a long time to load the content and
render it, especially if their memory is tight and their OS starts to
swap processes out.
Instead we now limit the amount of data we load to the first 128 KiB
of any untracked file. If the file is larger than 128 KiB we display
a warning message at the top of our diff viewer to notify the user
that we are not going to load the entire thing. Users should be able
to recognize a file just by its first 128 KiB and determine if it
should be added to the repository or not.
Since we are loading 128 KiB we may as well scan it to see if the
file is binary. So I've removed the "first 8000 bytes" rule and
just allowed git-gui to scan the entire data chunk that it read in.
This is probably faster anyway if Tcl's [string range] command winds
up making a copy of the data.

A binary file can be very large, and showing the complete content of
one is horribly ugly and confusing. So we now use the same rule that
core Git uses; if there is a NUL byte (\0) within the first 8000 bytes
of the file we assume it is binary and refuse to show the content.
Given that we have loaded the entire content of the file into memory
we probably could just afford to search the whole thing, but we also
probably should not load multi-megabyte binary files either.

If we got an empty diff its probably because the modification time of
the file was changed but the file content hasn't been changed. Typically
this happens because an outside program modified the file and git-gui
was told to not run 'update-index --refresh', as the user generally
trusts file modification timestamps. But we can also get an empty diff
when a program undos a file change and still updates the modification
timestamp upon saving, but has undone the file back to the same as what
is in the index or in PARENT.
So even if gui.trustmtime is false we should still run a rescan on
an empty diff. This change also lets us cleanup the dialog message
that we show when this case occurs, as its no longer got anything to
do with Trust File Modification Timestamps.

Its possible for external programs to update file modification dates of
many files within a repository. I've seen this on Windows with a popular
virus scanner, sadly enough. If the user has Trust File Modification
Timestamp enabled and the virus scanner touches a large number of files
it can be annoying trying to clear them out of the 'Changed But Not
Updated' file list by clicking on them one at a time to load the diff.
So now we force a rescan as soon as one such file is found, and for
just that rescan we disable the Trust File Modification Timestamp option
thereby allowing Git to update the modification dates in the index.

This separates the connectivity check into separate codepaths,
one for reachable objects and the other for unreachable ones,
while adding a lot of comments to explain what is going on.
When checking an unreachable object, unlike a reachable one, we
do not have to complain if it does not exist (we used to
complain about a missing blob even when the only thing that
references it is a tree that is dangling). Also we do not have
to check and complain about objects that are referenced by an
unreachable object.

Earlier, git_connect() returned the same fd twice or two
separate fds, depending on the way the connection was made (when
we are talking to the other end over a single socket, we used
the same fd twice, and when our end is connected to a pipepair
we used two).
This forced callers who do close() and dup() to really care
which was which, and most of the existing callers got this
wrong, although without much visible ill effect. Many were
closing the same fd twice when we are talking over a single
socket, and one was leaking a fd.
This fixes it to uniformly use two separate fds, so if somebody
wants to close only reader side can just do close() on it
without worrying about it accidentally also closing the writer
side or vice versa.

This reverts commit 9b088c4e39.
Protecting 'mature' objects does not make it any safer. We should
admit that git-prune is inherently unsafe when run in parallel with
other operations without involving unwarranted locking overhead,
and with the latest git, even rebase and reset would not immediately
create crufts anyway.
Marco Candrian noticed that one cat-file example refers to a
blob object that is never used in the example sequence.
The bug is interesting in that the output from the botched
sample command is consistent with the incorrect blob object
name ;-).
