A pattern "foo/" in the exclude list did not match directory
"foo", but a pattern "foo" did. This attempts to extend the
exclude mechanism so that it would while not matching a regular
file or a symbolic link "foo". In order to differentiate a
directory and non directory, this passes down the type of path
being checked to excluded() function.
A downside is that the recursive directory walk may need to run
lstat(2) more often on systems whose "struct dirent" do not give
the type of the entry; earlier it did not have to do so for an
excluded path, but we now need to figure out if a path is a
directory before deciding to exclude it. This is especially bad
because an idea similar to the earlier CE_UPTODATE optimization
to reduce number of lstat(2) calls would by definition not apply
to the codepaths involved, as (1) directories will not be
registered in the index, and (2) excluded paths will not be in
the index anyway.

There are a few options to git-send-email to suppress the automatic
generation of 'Cc' fields: --suppress-from, and --signed-off-cc.
However, there are other times that git-send-email automatically
includes Cc'd recipients. This is not desirable for all development
environments.
Add a new option --suppress-cc, which can be specified one or more
times to list the categories of auto-cc fields that should be
suppressed. If not specified, it defaults to values to give the same
behavior as specified by --suppress-from, and --signed-off-cc. The
categories are:
self - patch sender. Same as --suppress-from.
author - patch author.
cc - cc lines mentioned in the patch.
cccmd - avoid running the cccmd.
sob - signed off by lines.
all - all non-explicit recipients

Whilst convenient, it is most unwise to record passwords
in any place but one's brain. Moreover, it is especially
foolish to store them in configuration files, even with
access permissions set accordingly.
git-send-email has been amended, so that if it detects
an smtp username without a password, it promptly prompts
for the password and masks the input for privacy.
Furthermore, the argument to --smtp-pass has been rendered
optional.
The documentation has been updated to reflect these changes.

I was able to solve this problem with this patch, which adds a XSL file
used specifically for DOCBOOK_XSL_172=YesPlease and where dots and
backslashes are escaped properly so they won't be substituted to the
wrong thing further down the "DocBook XSL pipeline". Doing the escaping
in the existing callout.xsl breaks v1.70.1. Hopefully v1.73 will end
this part of the manpage nightmare.

The lockfile API is a handy way to obtain a file that is cleaned
up if you die(). But sometimes you would need this sequence to
work:
1. hold_lock_file_for_update() to get a file descriptor for
writing;
2. write the contents out, without being able to decide if the
results should be committed or rolled back;
3. do something else that makes the decision --- and this
"something else" needs the lockfile not to have an open file
descriptor for writing (e.g. Windows do not want a open file
to be renamed);
4. call commit_lock_file() or rollback_lock_file() as
appropriately.
This adds close_lock_file() you can call between step 2 and 3 in
the above sequence.

Although we traditionally stripped away excess blank lines, trailing
whitespaces and lines that begin with "#" from the commit log message,
sometimes the message just has to be the way user wants it.
For instance, a commit message template can contain lines that begin with
"#", the message must be kept as close to its original source as possible
if you are converting from a foreign SCM, or maybe the message has a shell
script including its comments for future reference.
The cleanup modes are default, verbatim, whitespace and strip. The
default mode depends on if the message is being edited and will either
strip whitespace and comments (if editor active) or just strip the
whitespace (for where the message is given explicitely).

The "-z" format is all about machine parsability, but showing renamed

This fixes the output format in a (hopefully minimally) backward
incompatible way.
* The output without -z is not changed. This has given a good way for
humans to view added and deleted lines separately, and showing the
path in combined, shorter way would preserve readability.
* The output with -z is unchanged for paths that do not involve renames.
Existing scripts that do not pass -M/-C are not affected at all.
* The output with -z for a renamed path is shown in a format that can
easily be distinguished from an unrenamed path.
