For a long time, this developer thought that Git's insistence that
pushing into the current branch is evil was completely merited.
Just for fun, the original patch tried to show people that Git is
correct to forbid that, and that it causes more trouble than it does
good when Git allows you to try to update the working tree for
fast-forwards, or to detach the HEAD, depending on some config settings.
To the developer's surprise, the opposite was shown.
So here is the support for two new options you can give the config
variable receive.denyCurrentBranch:
'updateInstead':
Try to merge the working tree with the new tip of the branch
(which can lead to really horrible merge conflicts).
'detachInstead':
Detach the HEAD, thereby avoiding a disagreement between the
HEAD and the index (as well as the working tree), possibly
leaving the local user wondering how on earth her HEAD became
so detached.

At least for cross-platform projects, it makes sense to hide the
files starting with a dot, as this is the behavior on Unix/MacOSX.
However, at least Eclipse has problems interpreting the hidden flag
correctly, so the default is to hide only the .git/ directory.
The config setting core.hideDotFiles therefore supports not only
'true' and 'false', but also 'dotGitOnly'.
[jes: clarified the commit message, made git init respect the setting
by marking the .git/ directory only after reading the config, and added
documentation, and rebased on top of current junio/next]

The third maintenance release for Git 1.9; contains all the fixes

The git-shell(1) manpage says
EXAMPLE
To disable interactive logins, displaying a greeting
instead:
+
$ chsh -s /usr/bin/git-shell
$ mkdir $HOME/git-shell-commands
[...]
The stray "+" has been there ever since the example was added in
v1.8.3-rc0~210^2 (shell: new no-interactive-login command to print a
custom message, 2013-03-09). The "+" sign between paragraphs is
needed in asciidoc to attach extra paragraphs to a list item but here
it is not needed and ends up rendered as a literal "+". Remove it.
A quick search with "grep -e '<p>+' /usr/share/doc/git/html/*.html"
doesn't find any other instances of this problem.

The version numbering scheme has changed since Git 1.9 and we
dropped the third dewey-decimal from the traditional numbering
(e.g. both 1.8.4 and 1.8.5 were major feature releases). This
release 1.9.1 is the first maintenance relase for Git 1.9.

We wanted to call the upcoming release "Git 1.9", with its
maintenance track being "Git 1.9.1", "Git 1.9.2", etc., but various
third-party tools are reported to assume that there are at least
three dewey-decimal components in our version number.
Adjust the plan so that vX.Y.0 are feature releases while vX.Y.Z
(Z > 0) are maintenance releases.

The documentation to "git pull" hinted there is an "-m" option
because it incorrectly shared the documentation with "git merge".
* jc/maint-pull-docfix:
Documentation: "git pull" does not have the "-m" option
Documentation: exclude irrelevant options from "git pull"
This goes far back to e84fb2f (branch --contains: default to HEAD -
2008-07-08) where the same parsing code is shared with
builtin/tag.c. git-branch.txt correctly states that <commit> for
--contains is optional while git-tag.txt does not. Correct it.

./Documentation/technical/http-protocol.txt was missing from TECH_DOCS in Makefile.
Add it and also improve HTML formatting while still retaining good readability of the ASCII text:
- Use monospace font instead of italicized or roman font for machine output and source text
- Use roman font for things which should be body text
- Use double quotes consistently for "want" and "have" commands
- Use uppercase "C" / "S" consistently for "client" / "server";
also use "C:" / "S:" instead of "(C)" / "(S)" for consistency and
to avoid having formatted "(C)" as copyright symbol in HTML
- Use only spaces and not a combination of tabs and spaces for whitespace
