"git nosuchcommand --help" said "No manual entry for gitnosuchcommand",
which was not intuitive, given that "git nosuchcommand" said "git:
'nosuchcommand' is not a git command".
Small code and comment clean-up.
"git help everyday" seems to get broken with this change, though.

+ t/Makefile: ensure that paths are valid on platforms we care
The "t/" hierarchy is prone to get an unusual pathname; "make test"
has been taught to make sure they do not contain paths that cannot
be checked out on Windows (and the mechanism can be reusable to
catch pathnames that are not portable to other platforms as need
arises).

- difftool: always honor "command not found" exit code
* sb/checkout-explit-detach-no-advice (2016-08-15) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2016-08-17 at fb64716)
+ checkout: do not mention detach advice for explicit --detach option
"git difftool" by default ignores the error exit from the backend
commands it spawns, because often they signal that they found
differences by exiting with a non-zero status code just like "diff"
does; the exit status codes 126 and 127 however are special in that
they are used to signal that the command is not executable or does
not exist. "git difftool" has been taught to notice these exit
status codes.
"git checkout --detach <branch>" used to give the same advice
message as that is issued when "git checkout <tag>" (or anything
that is not a branch name) is given, but asking with "--detach" is
an explicit enough sign that the user knows what is going on. The
advice message has been squelched in this case.

"git log --show-signature" and other commands that display the

+ gpg-interface: prefer "long" key format output when verifying pgp signatures
(this branch is used by lt/gpg-show-long-key-in-signature-verification.)
Will merge to 'next'.
"git log --show-signature" and other commands that display the
verification status of PGP signature now shows the longer key-id,
as 32-bit key-id is so last century. This is based on older
codebase, just in case somebody wants to have it.

* ak/curl-imap-send-explicit-scheme (2016-08-17) 1 commit
- imap-send: Tell cURL to use imap:// or imaps://
When "git merge-recursive" works on history with many criss-cross
merges in "verbose" mode, the names the command assigns to the
virtual merge bases could have overwritten each other by unintended
reuse of the same piece of memory.
When we started cURL to talk to imap server when a new enough
version of cURL library is available, we forgot to explicitly add
imap(s):// before the destination. To some folks, that didn't work
and the library tried to make HTTP(s) requests instead.
Needs review and testing.
* bw/mingw-avoid-inheriting-fd-to-lockfile (2016-08-18) 2 commits
- mingw: ensure temporary file handles are not inherited by child processes
- t6026-merge-attr: child processes must not inherit index.lock handles
The tempfile (hence its user lockfile) API lets the caller to open
a file descriptor to a temporary file, write into it and then
finalize it by first closing the filehandle and then either
removing or renaming the temporary file. When the process spawns a
subprocess after obtaining the file descriptor, and if the
subprocess has not exited when the attempt to remove or rename is
made, the last step fails on Windows, because the subprocess has
the file descriptor still open. Open tempfile with O_CLOEXEC flag
to avoid this (on Windows, this is mapped to O_NOINHERIT).
It was pointed out that not everybody has O_CLOEXEC flag during the
review.
Waiting for the review discussion to settle.

optionally interface with the watchman daemon to further reduce the
refresh cost.
Not quite ready yet, it seems.
