Many e-mail based development communities require non-flowed text to carry
patches to prevent whitespaces from getting mangled, but there is no easy
way to tell Thunderbird MUA not to use format=flowed, unless you configure
it to do so unconditionally for all outgoing mails.
A workaround for users who use git-imap-send is to wrap the patch in "pre"
element in the draft folder as an HTML message, and tell Thunderbird to
send "text only". Thunderbird turns such a message into a non-flowed
plain text when sending it out, which is what we want for patch e-mails.

Since 6564828 (git-send-email: Generalize auto-cc recipient
mechanism., 2007-12-25) we can suppress automatic Cc generation
separately for each of the possible address sources. However,
--suppress-cc=sob suppressed both SOB lines and body (but not header)
Cc lines, contrary to the name.
Change --suppress-cc=sob to mean only SOB lines, and add separate
choices 'bodycc' (body Cc lines) and 'body' (both 'sob' and 'bodycc').
The option --no-signed-off-by-cc now acts like --suppress-cc=sob,
which is not backwards compatible but matches the name of the option.
Also update the documentation and add a few tests.
Original patch by me. Revised by Thomas Rast, who contributed the
documentation and test updates.

Add a section about how to shrink a repository's size after running
git-filter-branch to remove large blobs from history.
This comes up every week or so on IRC, and the commands required to
handle every case are not very newbie-friendly, so hopefully writing
them down somewhere leads to fewer questions.
It may seem contradictory to document fallbacks for older Gits in
newer docs, but we want to point people at this as a FAQ answer, and
they will frequently not have the newest version installed.
Thanks to Björn Steinbrink and Junio C Hamano for comments and
corrections.

Since dbc6c74d08, git-svn has had
an expensive check for broken symlinks that exist in some
repositories. This leads to a heavy performance hit on
repositories with many empty blobs that are not supposed to be
symlinks.
The workaround is enabled by default; and may be disabled via:
git config svn.brokenSymlinkWorkaround false

map_user() allows to lookup and replace both email and
name of a user, based on a new style mailmap file.
The possible mailmap definitions are now:
proper_name <commit_email> # Old style
<proper_email> <commit_email> # New style
proper_name <proper_email> <commit_email> # New style
proper_name <proper_email> commit_name <commit_email> # New style
map_email() operates the same as before, with the
exception that it also will to try to match on a name
passed in through the name return buffer.
clear_mailmap() is needed to now clear the more complex
mailmap structure.

This allows us to augment the repo mailmap file, and to use
mailmap files elsewhere than the repository root. Meaning
that the entries in mailmap.file will override the entries
in "./.mailmap", should they match.

git submodule update --no-fetch makes it possible to use git submodule
update in complete offline mode by not fetching new revisions.
This does make sense in the following setup:
* There is an unstable and a stable branch in the super/master repository.
* The submodules might be at different revisions in the branches.
* You are at some place without internet connection ;)
With this patch it is now possible to change branches and update
the submodules to be at the recorded revision without online access.
Another advantage is that with -N the update operation is faster, because fetch is checking for new updates even if there was no fetch/pull on the super/master repository since the last update.

Use Term::ReadKey, if available and enabled with interactive.singlekey,
to let the user answer add -p's prompts by pressing a single key. We're
not doing the same in the main 'add -i' interface because file selection
etc. may expect several characters.
Two commands take an argument: 'g' can easily cope since it'll just
offer a choice of chunks. '/' now (unconditionally, even without
readkey) offers a chance to enter a regex if none was given.

This rewrites the example part of the bundle doucmentation to follow
the suggestion made by Junio during a recent discussion (gmane 108030).
Instead of just showing different ways to create and use bundles in a
disconnected fashion, the rewritten example first shows the simplest
"full cycle" of sneakernet workflow, and then introduces various
variations.
The words are mostly taken from Junio's outline. I only reformatted
them and proofread to make sure the end result flows naturally.
