Some have found the wording of the description to be somewhat ambiguous
with respect to when it is desirable to use test_must_fail instead of
"! <git-command>". Tweak the wording somewhat to hopefully clarify that
it is _because_ test_must_fail can detect segmentation fault that it is
desirable to use it instead of "! <git-command>".

The correct responses to a D and a T line in .git/objects/info/packs
are the same, so combine their case arms. In both cases we already
‘goto’ out of the switch so while at it, remove a redundant ‘break’
to avoid yet another line of code.

There is already excellent documentation for this facility in
git-submodule.1, but it is not so discoverable.
Relative paths in .gitmodules can be useful for serving the
same repository over multiple protocols, for example.
Thanks to Peter for pointing this out.

When you have for example a bare repository stored on NFS, and that you
create new workdirs locally (using contrib's git-new-workdir), logs/refs
is a symlink to a different device. Hence when the reflogs are renamed,
all must happen below logs/refs or one gets cross device rename errors
like:
git branch -m foo
error: unable to move logfile logs/refs/heads/master to tmp-renamed-log: Invalid cross-device link
fatal: Branch rename failed
The fix is hence to use logs/refs/.tmp-renamed-log as a temporary log
name, instead of just tmp-renamed-log.

In xdl_recmatch, do the memcmp to check if the two lines are equal before
checking if whitespace flags are set. If the lines are identical, then
there is no need to check if they differ only in whitespace.
This makes the common case (there is no whitespace difference) faster.
It costs the case where lines are the same length and contain
whitespace differences, but the common case is more than 20% faster.

Previously, test-date simply ignored the parsed timezone and
told show_date() to use UTC. Instead, let's print out what
we actually parsed.
While we're at it, let's make it easy for tests to work in a specific

notes.c(927) : warning C4550: expression evaluates to a \
function which is missing an argument list
along with identical warnings on lines 928, 1016 and 1017.
In order to suppress the warning, we change the definition of
combine_notes_fn, so that the symbol type is an (explicit)
"pointer to function ...". As a result, several other
declarations need some minor fix-up to take account of the
new typedef.
