git-instaweb relied on a pipe in a sed script, but this is not supported
by MacOS X sed when using BREs. git-instaweb relies on a working perl
in any case, and perl re are more consistent between platforms, so
replace sed invocation with an equivalent perl invocation.
Also, fix the documented -b "" to work without giving a spurious 'command
not found' error.

Use gitattributes to define per-path whitespace rule

builtin-apply: teach whitespace_rules

core.whitespace: add test for diff whitespace error highlighting
git-diff: complain about >=8 consecutive spaces in initial indent

Now when using "git help -w cmd", we will try to show the HTML man
page "git-cmd.html" in your prefered web browser.
To do that "help.c" code will call a new shell script
"git-browse-help".
This currently works only if the HTML versions of the man page
have been installed in $(htmldir) (typically "/usr/share/doc/git-doc"),
so new target to do that is added to "Documentation/Makefile".
The browser to use can be configured using the "web.browser"
config variable.
We try to open a new tab in an existing web browser, if possible.
The code in "git-browse-help" is heavily stolen from "git-mergetool"
by Theodore Y. Ts'o. Thanks.

Prepend $(prefix)/share/man to the MANPATH environment variable before
invoking 'man' from help.c:show_man_page(). There may be other git
documentation in the user's MANPATH but the user is asking a specific
instance of git about its own documentation, so we'd better show the
documentation for _that_ instance of git.

Apple ships a newer version of iconv with Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5/Darwin
9). Ensure that OLD_ICONV is not set on any version of Darwin in the
9.x series; this should be good for at least a couple of years, when
Darwin 10 comes out and we can invert the sense of the test to
specifically check for Darwin 7 or 8.
A more sophisticated and robust check is possible for those who use
autoconf, but not everybody does that.

The `core.whitespace` configuration variable allows you to define what
`diff` and `apply` should consider whitespace errors for all paths in
the project (See gitlink:git-config[1]). This attribute gives you finer
control per path.
For example, if you have these in the .gitattributes:
frotz whitespace
nitfol -whitespace
xyzzy whitespace=-trailing
all types of whitespace problems known to git are noticed in path 'frotz'
(i.e. diff shows them in diff.whitespace color, and apply warns about
them), no whitespace problem is noticed in path 'nitfol', and the
default types of whitespace problems except "trailing whitespace" are
noticed for path 'xyzzy'. A project with mixed Python and C might want
to have:
*.c whitespace
*.py whitespace=-indent-with-non-tab
in its toplevel .gitattributes file.

This program dumps (parts of) a git repository in the format that
fast-import understands.
For clarity's sake, it does not use the 'inline' method of specifying
blobs in the commits, but builds the blobs before building the commits.
Since signed tags' signatures will not necessarily be valid (think
transformations after the export, or excluding revisions, changing
the history), there are 4 modes to handle them: abort (default),
ignore, warn and strip. The latter just turns the tags into
unsigned ones.

This replaces git-clean.sh with builtin-clean.c, and moves
git-clean.sh to the examples.
This also introduces a change in behavior when removing directories
explicitly specified as a path. For example currently:
1. When dir has only untracked files, these two behave differently:
$ git clean -n dir
$ git clean -n dir/
the former says "Would not remove dir/", while the latter would say
"Would remove dir/untracked" for all paths under it, but not the
directory itself.
With -d, the former would stop refusing, however since the user
explicitly asked to remove the directory the -d is no longer required.
2. When there are more parameters:
$ git clean -n dir foo
$ git clean -n dir/ foo
both cases refuse to remove dir/ unless -d is specified. Once again
since both cases requested to remove dir the -d is no longer required.
Thanks to Johannes Schindelin for the conversion to using the
parse-options API.
