If the index records an insanely long symbolic link, copying
into the temporary would overflow the buffer (noticed by Mark
Wooding).

Because read_sha1_file() terminates the returned buffer with NUL
since late May 2005, there is no reason to copy it anymore.

If git-fetch-pack was called with out any refspec, it would ask the server
for funny refs. That cannot work, since the funny refs are not marked
as OUR_REF by upload-pack, which just exits with an error.

This reverts c5ced645 commit.
It turns out that doing this check every time we map the idx file
is quite expensive.  A corrupt idx file is caught by git-fsck-objects,
so this check is not strictly necessary.

In one unscientific test, 0.99.9m spent 10 seconds usertime for
the same task 1.1.3 takes 37 seconds usertime.  Reverting this gives
us the performance of 0.99.9 back.

While reviewing the end user tutorial rewrite by J. Bruce
Fields, I noticed that "git-diff-tree -B -C" did not correctly
break the total rewrite of Documentation/tutorial.txt.  It turns
out that we had integer overflow during the break score
computations.

Cop out by using floating point.  This is not a kernel.

Earlier only '?' and '*' signalled the command that what the
user has given is a glob pattern.  This prevented us to say:

	$ git show-branch 'v0.99.[0-3]'

Now we notice '[' as well, so the above would work.

In a repository with mainto/1.0 (to keep maintaining the 1.0.X
series) and fixo/1.0 (to keep fixes that apply to both 1.0.X
series and upwards) branches, "git-name-rev mainto/1.0" answered
just "1.0" making things ambiguous.  Show refnames unambiguously
like show-branch does.

ISO C99 (and GCC 3.x or later) lets you write a flexible array
at the end of a structure, like this:

	struct frotz {
		int xyzzy;
		char nitfol[]; /* more */
	};

GCC 2.95 and 2.96 let you to do this with "char nitfol[0]";
unfortunately this is not allowed by ISO C90.

This declares such construct like this:

	struct frotz {
		int xyzzy;
		char nitfol[FLEX_ARRAY]; /* more */
	};

and git-compat-util.h defines FLEX_ARRAY to 0 for gcc 2.95 and
empty for others.

If you are using a C90 C compiler, you should be able
to override this with CFLAGS=-DFLEX_ARRAY=1 from the
command line of "make".
