The wording of the Signed-off-by rules could be read as stating that
S-O-B should only be added when the submitter considered the patch
ready for inclusion in git.git.

We also want Signed-off-by to be used for e.g. RFC patches, in case
someone wants to dig an old patch out of the archive and improve
it. Change the wording to recommend a Signed-off-by for all submitted
patches.

The problem with the wording came up in the "[PATCH/RFC] Hacky version
of a glob() driven config include" thread[1]. Bert Wesarg suggested[2]
that it be removed to avoid confusion, which this change implements.

A bit of history in chronological order, the newest at bottom:

- 80ccaa78 (upload-pack: Move the revision walker into a separate function.)
   do_rev_list was introduced with create_full_pack argument

- 21edd3f1 (upload-pack: Run rev-list in an asynchronous function.)
   do_rev_list was now called by start_async, create_full_pack was
   passed by rev_list.data

- f0cea83f (Shift object enumeration out of upload-pack)
   rev_list.data was now zero permanently. Creating full pack was
   done by passing --all to pack-objects

- ae6a5609 (run-command: support custom fd-set in async)
   rev_list.data = 0 was found out redudant and got rid of.

Get rid of the code as well, for less headache while reading do_rev_list.

The message is especially confusing when "git fetch" is ran from "git
pull", for users not aware of "git fetch". The new message makes it clear
that "fetch" means "fetch new revisions", and gives hint on the solution.

We don't add a advice.* configuration option since this message doesn't

The NULL sentinel argument to the execl*() family of calls must be
cast to (char *), as otherwise:

- platforms where NULL is just 0 (not (void *)) would pass an int

- (admittedly esoteric) platforms where NULL is (void *)0 and (void *)
  and (char *) have different memory layouts would pass the wrong kind
  of pointer

One test case checked the stdout and stderr of 'git add' by constructing a
single 'expect' file that contained both streams. But when the command
runs, the order of stdout and stderr output is unpredictable because it
depends on how the streams are buffered. At least on Windows, the buffering
is different from what the test case expected. Hence, check the two output
texts separately.

On systems with an echo which defaults to the XSI-conformant behavior
(Solaris, or others using Ksh), echo will interpret certain backslashed
characters as control sequences.  This can cause a problem for interactive
rebase when it is used to rebase commits whose commit "subject" (the first
line) contains any of these backslashed sequences.  In this case, echo will
substitute the control sequence for the backslashed characters and either
the rebased commit message will differ from the original, or the rebase
process will fail.  Neither is desirable.

So work around this issue by replacing the echo statements used to print
out portions of the commit message, with printf.

Also, add a test to test for this breakage.

On Arch Linux, the executable for the Apache HTTP server keeps
the 'httpd' name and is not named 'apache2'. The path to the
server modules also contains 'httpd' rather than 'apache2'.
Remove some of these assumptions and add the httpd name in where
it may be required. Finally, make some slight style adjustments
to the code we are touching to make it fit the style of the rest
of the script.

The '!()' notation is interpreted as a pattern-list on Ksh.  The Ksh man
page describe it as follows:

   !(pattern-list)
      Matches anything except one of the given patterns.

Ksh performs a file glob using the pattern-list and then tries to execute
the first file in the list.  If a space is added between the '!' and the
open parens, then Ksh will not interpret it as a pattern list, but in this
case, it is preferred to use test_must_fail, so lets do so.

These two lines use the negation '!' operator to negate the result of a
simple command.  Since these commands do not contain any pipes or other
complexities, the test_must_fail function can be used and is preferred
since it will additionally detect termination due to a signal.

This was noticed because the second use of '!' does not include a space
between the '!' and the opening parens.  Ksh interprets this as follows:

   !(pattern-list)
      Matches anything except one of the given patterns.

Some have found the wording of the description to be somewhat ambiguous
with respect to when it is desirable to use test_must_fail instead of
"! <git-command>".  Tweak the wording somewhat to hopefully clarify that
it is _because_ test_must_fail can detect segmentation fault that it is
desirable to use it instead of "! <git-command>".
