The point of disallowing ".git" in the index is that we
would never want to accidentally overwrite files in the
repository directory. But this means we need to respect the
filesystem's idea of when two paths are equal. The prior
commit added a helper to make such a comparison for NTFS
and FAT32; let's use it in verify_path().
We make this check optional for two reasons:
1. It restricts the set of allowable filenames, which is
unnecessary for people who are not on NTFS nor FAT32.
In practice this probably doesn't matter, though, as
the restricted names are rather obscure and almost
certainly would never come up in practice.
2. It has a minor performance penalty for every path we
insert into the index.
This patch ties the check to the core.protectNTFS config
option. Though this is expected to be most useful on Windows,
we allow it to be set everywhere, as NTFS may be mounted on
other platforms. The variable does default to on for Windows,
though.

The option name "--store" was used early in development, but
never even made it into an applied patch, let alone a
released version of git. I forgot to update the matching
documentation at the time, though.

Older versions of meld listed --output in `meld --help`.
Newer versions only mention `meld [OPTIONS...]`.
Improve the checks to catch these newer versions.
Add a `mergetool.meld.hasOutput` configuration to allow
overriding the heuristic.

Neither the AsciiDoc nor the Asciidoctor documentation specify whether
the same number of delimiter characters must be used to end a block as
to begin it, although both sets of documentation show exactly matching
pairs. AsciiDoc allows mismatches, but AsciiDoctor apparently does not.
Adjust the pretty formats documentation to use matching pairs to prevent
a misrendering where the remainder of the document was rendered as a
listing block.

"git push" over HTTP transport had an artificial limit on number of
refs that can be pushed imposed by the command line length.
* jk/send-pack-many-refspecs:
send-pack: take refspecs over stdin
* so/rebase-doc:
Documentation/git-rebase.txt: <upstream> must be given to specify <branch>
Documentation/git-rebase.txt: -f forces a rebase that would otherwise be a no-op
Current syntax description makes one wonder if there is any
syntactic way to distinguish between <branch> and <upstream> so that
one can specify <branch> but not <upstream>, but that is not the
case.
Make it explicit that these arguments are positional, i.e. the
earlier ones cannot be omitted if you want to give later ones.

Pushing a large number of refs works over most transports,
because we implement send-pack as an internal function.
However, it can sometimes fail when pushing over http,
because we have to spawn "git send-pack --stateless-rpc" to
do the heavy lifting, and we pass each refspec on the
command line. This can cause us to overflow the OS limits on
the size of the command line for a large push.
We can solve this by giving send-pack a --stdin option and
using it from remote-curl. We already dealt with this on
the fetch-pack side in 078b895 (fetch-pack: new --stdin
option to read refs from stdin, 2012-04-02). The stdin
option (and in particular, its use of packet-lines for
stateless-rpc input) is modeled after that solution.

"Current branch is a descendant of the commit you are rebasing onto"
does not necessarily mean "rebase" requires "--force". For a plain
vanilla "history flattening" rebase, the rebase can be done without
forcing if there is a merge between the tip of the branch being
rebased and the commit you are rebasing onto, even if the tip is
descendant of the other.

In a config file, you can do:
[foo]
bar
to turn the "foo.bar" boolean flag on, and you can do:
[foo]
bar=
to set "foo.bar" to the empty string. However, git's "-c"
parameter treats both:
git -c foo.bar
and
git -c foo.bar=
as the boolean flag, and there is no way to set a variable
to the empty string. This patch enables the latter form to
do that.
