which is caused by not passing the target-specific additions to
the EXTRA_CPPFLAGS variable to cgcc.
In order to fix the problem, we define a new sparse target which
depends on a set of non-existent "sparse object" files (*.sp)
which correspond to the set of C source files. In addition to the
new target, we also provide a new pattern rule for "creating" the
sparse object files from the source files by running cgcc. This
allows us to add '*.sp' to the rules setting the target-specific
EXTRA_CPPFLAGS variable, which is then included in the new pattern
rule to run cgcc.
Also, we change the 'check' target to re-direct the user to the
new sparse target.

When relative dates are more than about a year ago, we start
writing them as "Y years, M months". At the point where we
calculate Y and M, we have the time delta specified as a
number of days. We calculate these integers as:
Y = days / 365
M = (days % 365 + 15) / 30
This rounds days in the latter half of a month up to the
nearest month, so that day 16 is "1 month" (or day 381 is "1
year, 1 month").
We don't round the year at all, though, meaning we can end
up with "1 year, 12 months", which is silly; it should just
be "2 years".
Implement this differently with months of size
onemonth = 365/12
so that
totalmonths = (long)( (days + onemonth/2)/onemonth )
years = totalmonths / 12
months = totalmonths % 12
In order to do this without floats, we write the first formula as
totalmonths = (days*12*2 + 365) / (365*2)

If start_command fails after forking and before exec finishes, there
is not much use in noticing an I/O error on top of that.
finish_command will notice that the child exited with nonzero status
anyway. So as noted in v1.7.0.3~20^2 (run-command.c: fix build
warnings on Ubuntu, 2010-01-30) and v1.7.5-rc0~29^2 (2011-03-16), it
is safe to ignore errors from write in this codepath.
Even so, the result from write contains useful information: it tells
us if the write was cancelled by a signal (EINTR) or was only
partially completed (e.g., when writing to an almost-full pipe).
Let's use write_in_full to loop until the desired number of bytes have
been written (still ignoring errors if that fails).
As a happy side effect, the assignment to a dummy variable to appease
gcc -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE is no longer needed. xwrite and write_in_full
check the return value from write(2).
Noticed with gcc -Wunused-but-set-variable.

In git versions starting at v1.7.5-rc0~29^2 until v1.7.5-rc3~2 (Revert
"run-command: prettify -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE workaround", 2011-04-18)
fixed it, the run_command facility would write a truncated error
message when the command is present but cannot be executed for some
other reason. For example, if I add a 'hello' command to git:
$ echo 'echo hello' >git-hello
$ chmod +x git-hello
$ PATH=.:$PATH git hello
hello
and make it non-executable, this is what I normally get:
$ chmod -x git-hello
$ git hello
fatal: cannot exec 'git-hello': Permission denied
But with the problematic versions, we get disturbing output:
$ PATH=.:$PATH git hello
fatal: $
Add some tests to make sure it doesn't happen again.
The hello-script used in these tests uses cat instead of echo because
on Windows the bash spawned by git converts LF to CRLF in text written
by echo while the bash running tests does not, causing the test to
fail if "echo" is used. Thanks to Hannes for noticing.

Add a DISCUSSION section to the "git format-patch" manual to encourage
people to send patches in a form that can be applied by "git am"
automatically. There are two such forms:
1. The default form in which most metadata goes in the mail header
and the message body starts with the patch description;
2. The snipsnip form in which a message starts with pertinent
discussion and ends with a patch after a "scissors" mark.
The example requires QP encoding in the "Subject:" header intended for
the mailer to give the reader a chance to reflect on that, rather than
being startled by it later. By contrast, in-body "From:" and
"Subject:" lines should be human-readable and not QP encoded.

We already wrap names in "from" headers, which tend to be
the long part of an address. But it's also possible for a
long name to not be wrapped, but to make us want to wrap the
email address. For example (imagine for the sake of
readability we want to wrap at 50 characters instead of 78):
From: this is my really long git name <foo@example.com>
The name does not overflow the line, but the name and email
together do. So we would rather see:
From: this is my really long git name
<git@example.com>
Because we wrap the name separately during add_rfc2047, we
neglected this case. Instead, we should see how long the
final line of the wrapped name ended up, and decide whether
or not to wrap based on that. We can't break the address
into multiple parts, so we either leave it with the name, or
put it by itself on a line.

On systems where the local time and file modification time may be out of
sync (e.g. test directory on NFS) t3306 and t5305 can fail because prune
compares times such as "now" (client time) with file modification times
(server times for remote file systems). I.e., these are spurious test
failures.
Avoid this by setting the relevant modification times to the local time.

When the index has conflicted submodules, mergetool used to mildly
clobber the module, renaming it to mymodule.BACKUP.nnnn, then failing to

Recognize submodules and offer a resolution instead:
Submodule merge conflict for 'Shared':
{local}: submodule commit ad9f12e3e6205381bf2163a793d1e596a9e211d0
{remote}: submodule commit f5893fb70ec5646efcd9aa643c5136753ac89253
Use (l)ocal or (r)emote, or (a)bort?
Selecting a commit will stage it, but not update the submodule (as git
does had there been no conflict). Type changes are also supported,
should the path be a submodule on one side, and a file, symlink,
directory, or deleted on the other.
