Merge branch 'master' into jc/fmt-patch
* master:
Split up builtin commands into separate files from git.c
git-log produces no output
fix pack-object buffer size
mailinfo: decode underscore used in "Q" encoding properly.
Reintroduce svn pools to solve the memory leak.
pack-objects: do not stop at object that is "too small"
git-commit --amend: two fixes.
get_tree_entry(): make it available from tree-walk
sha1_name.c: no need to include diff.h; tree-walk.h will do.
sha1_name.c: prepare to make get_tree_entry() reusable from others.
get_sha1() shorthands for blob/tree objects
pre-commit hook: complain about conflict markers.
git-merge: a bit more readable user guidance.
diff: move diff.c to diff-lib.c to make room.
git log: don't do merge diffs by default
Allow "git repack" users to specify repacking window/depth
Document git-clone --reference
Fix filename scaling for binary files
Fix uninteresting tags in new revision parsing
Conflicts:
Adjusted the addition of fmt-patch to match the recent split
from git.c to builtin.log.c.
