We do not document COMMIT_EDITMSG at all, but users may want
to know about it for two reasons:
1. They may want to tell their editor to configure itself
for formatting a commit message.
2. If a commit is aborted by an error, the user may want
to recover the commit message they typed.
Let's put a note in git-commit(1).

This way we do not have to risk the list of tools going out of sync
between the implementation and the documentation.
In the same spirit as bf73fc2 (difftool: print list of valid tools
with '--tool-help', 2012-03-29), trim the list of merge backends in
the documentation. We do not want to have a complete list of valid
tools; we only want a list to help people guess what kind of things
the tools do to be specified there, and refer them to --tool-help
for a complete list.

The identity of the committer will ultimately be pulled from
the ident code by commit_tree(). However, we make an attempt
to check the author and committer identity early, before the
user has done any manual work like inputting a commit
message. That lets us abort without them having to worry
about salvaging the work from .git/COMMIT_EDITMSG.
The early check for committer ident does not use the
IDENT_STRICT flag, meaning that it would not find an empty
name field. The motivation was presumably because we did not
want to be too restrictive, as later calls might be more lax
(for example, when we create the reflog entry, we do not
care too much about a real name). However, because
commit_tree will always get a strict identity to put in the
commit object itself, there is no point in being lax only to
die later (and in fact it is harmful, because the user will
have wasted time typing their commit message).
Incidentally, this bug was masked prior to 060d4bb, as the
initial loose call would taint the later strict call. So the
commit would succeed (albeit with a bogus committer line in
the commit object), and nobody noticed that our early check
did not match the later one.

The advise() function takes a variable number of arguments
and converts them into a va_list object to pass to strbuf
for handling. However, we accidentally called strbuf_addf
(that takes a variable number of arguments) instead of
strbuf_vaddf (that takes a va_list).
This bug dates back to v1.7.8.1-1-g23cb5bf, but we never
noticed because none of the current callers passes a string
with a format specifier in it. And the compiler did not
notice because the format string is not available at
compile time.

block-sha1/ is fast on most known platforms. Clarify the Makefile to
be less misleading about that.
Early versions of block-sha1/ explicitly relied on fast htonl() and
fast 32-bit loads with arbitrary alignment. Now it uses those on some
arches but the default behavior is byte-at-a-time access for the sake
of arches like ARM, Alpha, and their kin and it is still pretty fast
on these arches (fast enough to supersede the mozilla SHA1
implementation and the hand-written ARM assembler implementation that
were bundled before).

With 660231aa (block-sha1: support for architectures with memory
alignment restrictions, 2009-08-12), blk_SHA1_Update was modified to
access 32-bit chunks of memory one byte at a time on arches that
prefer that:
#define get_be32(p) ( \
(*((unsigned char *)(p) + 0) << 24) | \
(*((unsigned char *)(p) + 1) << 16) | \
(*((unsigned char *)(p) + 2) << 8) | \
(*((unsigned char *)(p) + 3) << 0) )
The code previously accessed these values by just using htonl(*p).
Unfortunately, Michael noticed on an Alpha machine that git was using
plain 32-bit reads anyway. As soon as we convert a pointer to int *,
the compiler can assume that the object pointed to is correctly
aligned as an int (C99 section 6.3.2.3 "pointer conversions"
paragraph 7), and gcc takes full advantage by using a single 32-bit
load, resulting in a whole bunch of unaligned access traps.
So we need to obey the alignment constraints even when only dealing
with pointers instead of actual values. Do so by changing the type
of 'data' to void *. This patch renames 'data' to 'block' at the same
time to make sure all references are updated to reflect the new type.

it always copies files from the tmp dir back to the working tree
when the diff tool is closed, even if the files were not modified
by the diff tool.

copied from the tmp dir back to the working copy if they were
actually modified.

Those filed hold variables, settings and information set by the
configuration process run by './configure'; in Autotools-based
build system that kind of stuff should only be removed by
"make distclean". Having it removed by "make clean" is not only
inconsistent, but causes real confusion for that part of the Git
audience that is used to the Autotools semantics; for example,
an autotools old-timer that has run:
./configure --prefix /opt/git
in the past, without running "make distclean" afterwards, would
expect a "make install" issued after a "make clean" to rebuild and
install git in '/opt/git'; but with the current behaviour, the
"make clean" invocation removes (among the other things) the file
'config.mak.autogen', so that the "make install" falls back to the
default prefix of '$HOME', thus installing git in the user's home
directory -- definitely unexpected.

There are three ways to specify an external diff command:
GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF in the environment, diff.external in the
config, or a "diff" gitattribute. The current order of
precedence is:
1. gitattribute
2. GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF
3. diff.external
Usually our rule is that environment variables should take
precedence over on-disk config (i.e., option 2 should come
before option 1). However, this situation is trickier than
some, because option 1 is more specific to the individual
file than option 2 (which affects all files), so it might be
preferable. So the current behavior can be seen as
implementing "do the specific thing if we can, but fall back
to this general thing".
This is probably not what we would do if we were writing git
from scratch, but it has been this way for several years,
and is not worth changing. So let's at least document that
this is the way it's supposed to work with a test.
While we're there, let's also make sure that diff.external
(which was not previously tested at all) works by running it
through the same tests as GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF.
