Fixes since v1.8.3.2

+ * "gitweb" forgot to clear a global variable $search_regexp upon each
+ request, mistakenly carrying over the previous search to a new one
+ when used as a persistent CGI.
+
+ * The wildmatch engine did not honor WM_CASEFOLD option correctly.
+
+ * "git log -c --follow $path" segfaulted upon hitting the commit that
+ renamed the $path being followed.
+
+ * When a reflog notation is used for implicit "current branch",
+ e.g. "git log @{u}", we did not say which branch and worse said
+ "branch ''" in the error messages.
+
* Mac OS X does not like to write(2) more than INT_MAX number of
bytes; work it around by chopping write(2) into smaller pieces.
* Newer MacOS X encourages the programs to compile and link with
their CommonCrypto, not with OpenSSL.
+
+Also contains various minor documentation updates.
