Accept "-v" as a synonym to "--reroll-count", so that users can say
"git format-patch -v4 master", instead of having to fully spell it
out as "git format-patch --reroll-count=4 master".
As I do not think of a reason why users would want to tell the
command to be "verbose", I think this should be OK.

Our Makefile first sets up some sane per-platform defaults
by looking at "uname", then modifies that according to the
results of autoconf (if any), then modifies that according
to the user's wishes in config.mak.
For sub-Makefiles like Documentation/Makefile, the latter
two are available, but the uname defaults are available only
to the main Makefile. This hasn't been a problem so far,
because the sub-Makefiles do not rely on any of those
automatic settings to do their work.
This patch puts the uname magic into its own file so it can
be reused in other Makefiles, opening up the possibility of
new knobs.
Note that we leave one reference to uname in the top-level
Makefile: if we are on Darwin, we must check the NO_FINK and
NO_DARWIN_PORTS settings. But because we are combining uname
settings with user-options, we must do so after all of the
config is loaded. This is acceptable, as the resulting
conditionals are about setting variables specific to the
top-level Makefile (and if that ever changes, we can hoist
them into a separate post-config include, too).

65969d4 (merge: honor prepare-commit-msg hook, 2011-02-14) tried to
make "git commit" and "git merge" consistent, because a merge that
required user assistance has to be concluded with "git commit", but
back then only "git commit" triggered prepare-commit-msg hook.
When it added a call to run the prepare-commit-msg hook, however, it
forgot to check the exit code from the hook like "git commit" does,
and ended up replacing one inconsistency with another.
When prepare-commit-msg hook that is run from "git merge" exits with
a non-zero status, abort the commit.

The test Makefile knows about a few "lint" checks for common
errors. However, they are not enabled as part of "make test"
by default, which means that many people do not bother
running them. Since they are both quick to run and accurate
(i.e., no false positives), there should be no harm in
turning them on and helping submitters catch errors earlier.
We could just set:
TEST_LINT = test-lint
to enable all tests. But that would be unnecessarily
annoying later on if we add slower or less accurate tests
that should not be part of the default. Instead, we name the
tests individually.

find_branch_name() assumes to take refs/heads/<branch>. But we also
have symbolic refs, such as HEAD, that can point to a valid branch in
refs/heads and do not follow refs/heads/<branch> syntax. Remove the
assumption and apply normal ref resolution. After all it would be
confusing if rev machinery resolves a ref in one way and
find_branch_name() another.

Add the perl script "check-non-portable-shell.pl" to detect
non-portable shell syntax.
"echo -n" is an example of a shell command working on Linux, but not
on Mac OS X.
These shell commands are checked and reported as error:
- "echo -n" (printf should be used)
- "sed -i" (GNUism; use a temp file instead)
- "declare" (bashism, often used with arrays)
- "which" (unreliable exit status and output; use type instead)
- "test a == b" (bashism for "test a = b")
"make test-lint-shell-syntax" can be used to run only the check.

Starting with v1.7.12-rc0~4^2 (build: reconfigure automatically if
configure.ac changes, 2012-07-19), "config.status --recheck" is
automatically run every time the "configure" script changes. In
particular, that means the configuration procedure repeats whenever
the version number changes (since the configure script changes to
support "./configure --version" and "./configure --help"), making
bisecting painfully slow.
The intent was to make the reconfiguration process only trigger for
changes to configure.ac's logic. Tweak the Makefile rule to match
that intent by depending on configure.ac instead of configure.

When there are more than $maxrefs descendant heads to display in the
Branches field of the commit display, we currently just display "many",
which is not very informative. To make the display more informative,
we now look for "master" and whichever head is currently checked out,
and display them even if there are too many heads to display them all.
The display then looks like "Branches: master and many more (33)" for
instance.
