For systems with a missing or broken perl, it is nicer to
explicitly say "we don't want perl" because:

  1. The Makefile knows not to bother with Perl-ish things
     like Git.pm.

  2. We can print a more user-friendly error message
     than "foo is not a git command" or whatever the broken
     perl might barf

  3. Test scripts that require perl can mark themselves and
     such and be skipped

This patch implements parts (1) and (2). The perl/
subdirectory is skipped entirely, gitweb is not built, and
any git commands which rely on perl will print a
human-readable message and exit with an error code.

This patch is based on one from Robin H. Johnson.

A handful of random personal preference:

- Force sans-serif for the text.
- Quote code sample literal inside a single-quote pair.
- Show emphasis in blue-green italics.
- Do not use itarlics for term definition, but show them in navy.

When merging merge bases during a recursive merge we do not want to
leave any unmerged entries. Otherwise we cannot create a temporary
tree for the recursive merge to work with.

We failed to do so in case of a submodule conflict between merge
bases, causing a NULL pointer dereference in the next step of the
recursive merge.

In "git-bisect.sh" the "git checkout" command is only used to
change the current branch, but it is used like this:

git checkout "$branch"

which will output the following misleading error message when
it fails:

error: pathspec 'foo' did not match any file(s) known to git.

This patch change the way we use "git checkout" like this:

git checkout "$branch" --

so that we will get the following error message:

fatal: invalid reference: foo

which is better.

Commit 6e182518 (send-email: refactor and ensure prompting doesn't loop
forever) introduced an ask function, which unfortunately had a nasty
bug. This caused it not to accept anything but the default reply to the
"Who should the emails appear to be from?" prompt, and nothing but
ctrl-d to the "Who should the emails be sent to?" and "Message-ID to be
used as In-Reply-To for the first email?" prompts.

This commit corrects the issues and adds a test to confirm the fix.
