Formalize our dependency on perl 5.8, bumped from 5.6.[12]. We already
used the three-arg form of open() which was introduced in 5.6.1, but
t/t9700/test.pl explicitly depended on 5.6.2.
However git-add--interactive.pl has been failing on the 5.6 line since
it was introduced in v1.5.0-rc0~12^2~2 back in 2006 due to this open
syntax:
sub run_cmd_pipe {
my $fh = undef;
open($fh, '-|', @_) or die;
return <$fh>;
}
Which when executed dies on "Can't use an undefined value as
filehandle reference". Several of our tests also fail on 5.6 (even
more when compiled with NO_PERL_MAKEMAKER=1):
t2016-checkout-patch.sh
t3904-stash-patch.sh
t3701-add-interactive.sh
t7105-reset-patch.sh
t7501-commit.sh
t9700-perl-git.sh
Our code is bitrotting on 5.6 with no-one interested in fixing it, and
pinning us to such an ancient release of Perl is keeping us from using
useful features introduced in the 5.8 release.
The 5.6 series is now over 10 years old, and the 5.6.2 maintenance
release almost 7. 5.8 on the other hand is more than 8 years old.
All the modern Unix-like operating systems have now upgraded to it or
a later version, and 5.8 packages are available for old IRIX, AIX
Solaris and Tru64 systems.

PREFIX and INSTALL_BASE are mutually exclusive. If both are supplied
by INSTALL_BASE being set in PERL_MM_OPT ExtUtils::MakeMaker will
produce an error:
$ echo $PERL_MM_OPT
INSTALL_BASE=/home/avar/perl5
$ make -C perl PERL_PATH='/usr/bin/perl' prefix='/home/avar' perl.mak
make: Entering directory `/home/avar/g/git/perl'
/usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL PREFIX='/home/avar'
Only one of PREFIX or INSTALL_BASE can be given. Not both.
make: *** [perl.mak] Error 255
make: Leaving directory `/home/avar/g/git/perl'
Change the perl Makefile to work around this by explicitly unsetting
INSTALL_BASE.
INSTALL_BASE is set in PERL_MM_OPT by e.g. the popular local::lib
package, from its documentation:
eval $(perl -I$HOME/perl5/lib/perl5 -Mlocal::lib 2>/dev/null)
Many other environments might also have set PERL_MM_OPT before
building Git. This change enables us to build in these environments.

Before commit d3c9634e, performing a "git svn rebase" that fetched a
change containing CRLFs corrupted the git-svn meta-data. This was
worked around in d3c9634e by setting core.autocrlf to "false" in the
per-repo config when initing the clone. However, if the config
variable was later changed, the corruption would still occur.
This patch tries to fix it while allowing core.autocrlf to be
enabled, by disabling filters when when hashing.
git-svn is currently the only call-site for hash_and_insert_object
(apart from the test-suite), so changing it should be safe.

Update the usage of File::Temp->tempfile to place the temporary files
within the repository directory instead of just letting Perl decide what
directory to use, given there is a repository specified when requesting
the temporary file.
This is needed to be able to fix git-svn on msys as msysperl generates
paths with UNIX-style paths (/tmp/xxx) while the git tools expect natvie
path format (c:/..). The repository dir is stored in native format so by
using it as the base directory for temporary files we always get a
usable native full path.

This patch offers a generic interface to allow temp files to be
cached while using an instance of the 'Git' package. If many
temp files are created and destroyed during the execution of a
program, this caching mechanism can help reduce the amount of
files created and destroyed by the filesystem.
The temp_acquire method provides a weak guarantee that a temp
file will not be stolen by subsequent requests. If a file is
locked when another acquire request is made, a simple error is
thrown.

This is mostly lifted from earlier series by Dan Zwell, but updated to
use "git config --get-color" and "git config --get-colorbool" to make it
simpler and more consistent with commands written in C.
A new configuration color.interactive variable is like color.diff and
color.status, and controls if "git-add -i" uses color.
A set of configuration variables, color.interactive.<slot>, are used to
define what color is used for the prompt, header, and help text.
For perl scripts, Git.pm provides $repo->get_color() method, which takes
the slot name and the default color, and returns the terminal escape
sequence to color the output text. $repo->get_colorbool() method can be
used to check if color is set to be used for a given operation.

I find it difficult to see compiler warnings amongst the massive
spewing produced by GNU make as it works through our productions.
This is especially true if CFLAGS winds up being rather long, due
to a large number of -W options being enabled and due to a number
of -D options being configured/required by my platform.
By defining QUIET_MAKE (e.g. make QUIET_MAKE=YesPlease) during
compilation users will get a less verbose output, such as:
...
CC builtin-grep.c
builtin-grep.c:187: warning: 'external_grep' defined but not used
CC builtin-init-db.c
CC builtin-log.c
