A patch that contains no actual diff, and that doesn't change any
meta-data is bad. It shouldn't be a patch at all, and git-apply shouldn't
just accept it.
This caused a corrupted patch to be silently applied as an empty change in
the kernel, because the corruption ended up making the patch look empty.
An example of such a patch is one that contains the patch header, but
where the initial fragment header (the "@@ -nr,.." line) is missing,
causing us to not parse any fragments.
The real "patch" program will also flag such patches as bad, with the
message
patch: **** Only garbage was found in the patch input.
and we should do likewise.

After seeing Jeff's guide, I changed my mind about the
big-rename transition plan. Even if Porcelains are kept up to
date, those web documents that describes older world order would
live longer and people will stumble across them via google
searches. And who knows how many mirrored copies there are.
The backward compatible symbolic links *will* be removed before
1.0. But that will not happen in 0.99.8.

The core part detected and died upon seeing a corrupted packfile, but
did not help the user by telling which packfile is corrupt and how.

Make logerror() and loginfo() static
logerror() and loginfo() in daemon.c are never declared and never called
from other files, therefore they should be declared static. Found by
sparse.

This again makes git-pull to use git-merge, so that different merge
strategy can be specified from the command line. Without explicit
strategy parameter, it defaults to git-merge-resolve if only one
remote is pulled, and git-merge-octopus otherwise, to keep the
default behaviour of the command the same as the original.
Also this brings another usability measure: -n flag from the command
line, if given, is passed to git-merge to prevent it from running the
diffstat at the end of the merge.

This uses the git-update-ref command in scripts for safer updates.
Also places where we used to read HEAD ref by using "cat" were fixed
to use git-rev-parse. This will matter when we start using symbolic
references.

Added support for additional CURL SSL settings via environment variables.
Client certificate/key files can be specified as well as alternate CA

The merge strategy would check this itself and typically does it
by using git-read-tree -m -u 3-way merge.

The refspecs specified in the .git/remotes/<remote> on the "Pull: "
lines are for fetching multiple heads in one go, but most of the time
making an Octopus out of them is not what is wanted. Make git-fetch
leave the marker in .git/FETCH_HEAD file so that later stages can
tell which heads are for merging and which are not.
Tom Prince made me realize how stupid the original behaviour was.

It still talked about "the proposed alternative semantics" but we have
used those alternative semantics for quite some time. Update them to
avoid confusion.

The new option --stdin reads list of paths to be updated from the
standard input. As usual, -z means the paths are terminated with NUL
characters, as opposed to LF without that option.
This is useful to use git-diff-files -z and git-ls-files -z when the
platform xargs does not support -0 option, and obviously saves one
process even when xargs can take -0.
