Merge branch 'js/read-tree' into js/c-merge-recursive
* js/read-tree: (107 commits) read-tree: move merge functions to the library read-trees: refactor the unpack_trees() part tar-tree: illustrate an obscure feature better git.c: allow alias expansion without a git directory setup_git_directory_gently: do not barf when GIT_DIR is given. Build on Debian GNU/kFreeBSD Call setup_git_directory() much earlier Call setup_git_directory() early Display an error from update-ref if target ref name is invalid. Fix http-fetch t4103: fix binary patch application test. git-apply -R: binary patches are irreversible for now. Teach git-apply about '-R' Makefile: ssh-pull.o depends on ssh-fetch.c log and diff family: honor config even from subdirectories git-reset: detect update-ref error and report it. lost-found: use fsck-objects --full Teach git-http-fetch the --stdin switch Teach git-local-fetch the --stdin switch Make pull() support fetching multiple targets at once ...

Issues of note:
- git normally installs a helper script wrapper called "git", which
