Since commit 0c499ea60f the send-pack builtin uses the side-band-64k
capability if advertised by the server.
Unfortunately this breaks pushing over the dump git protocol if used
over a network connection.
The detailed reasons for this breakage are (by courtesy of Jeff Preshing,
quoted from ttps://groups.google.com/d/msg/msysgit/at8D7J-h7mw/eaLujILGUWoJ):
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
MinGW wraps Windows sockets in CRT file descriptors in order to mimic the
functionality of POSIX sockets. This causes msvcrt.dll to treat sockets as
Installable File System (IFS) handles, calling ReadFile, WriteFile,
DuplicateHandle and CloseHandle on them. This approach works well in simple
cases on recent versions of Windows, but does not support all usage patterns.
In particular, using this approach, any attempt to read & write concurrently
on the same socket (from one or more processes) will deadlock in a scenario
where the read waits for a response from the server which is only invoked after
the write. This is what send_pack currently attempts to do in the use_sideband
codepath.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The new config option "sendpack.sideband" allows to override the side-band-64k
capability of the server, and thus makes the dump git protocol work.
Other transportation methods like ssh and http/https still benefit from
the sideband channel, therefore the default value of "sendpack.sideband"
is still true.

A '+' is not a valid part of a filename with Windows file systems (it is
reserved because the '+' operator meant file concatenation back in the
DOS days).
Let's just not use it.

Windows paths are typically limited to MAX_PATH = 260 characters, even
though the underlying NTFS file system supports paths up to 32,767 chars.
This limitation is also evident in Windows Explorer, cmd.exe and many
other applications (including IDEs).
Particularly annoying is that most Windows APIs return bogus error codes
if a relative path only barely exceeds MAX_PATH in conjunction with the
current directory, e.g. ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND / ENOENT instead of the
infinitely more helpful ERROR_FILENAME_EXCED_RANGE / ENAMETOOLONG.
Many Windows wide char APIs support longer than MAX_PATH paths through the
file namespace prefix ('\\?\' or '\\?\UNC\') followed by an absolute path.
Notable exceptions include functions dealing with executables and the
current directory (CreateProcess, LoadLibrary, Get/SetCurrentDirectory) as
well as the entire shell API (ShellExecute, SHGetSpecialFolderPath...).
Introduce a handle_long_path function to check the length of a specified
path properly (and fail with ENAMETOOLONG), and to optionally expand long
paths using the '\\?\' file namespace prefix. Short paths will not be
modified, so we don't need to worry about device names (NUL, CON, AUX).
Contrary to MSDN docs, the GetFullPathNameW function doesn't seem to be
limited to MAX_PATH (at least not on Win7), so we can use it to do the
heavy lifting of the conversion (translate '/' to '\', eliminate '.' and
'..', and make an absolute path).
Add long path error checking to xutftowcs_path for APIs with hard MAX_PATH
limit.
Add a new MAX_LONG_PATH constant and xutftowcs_long_path function for APIs
that support long paths.
While improved error checking is always active, long paths support must be
explicitly enabled via 'core.longpaths' option. This is to prevent end
users to shoot themselves in the foot by checking out files that Windows
Explorer, cmd/bash or their favorite IDE cannot handle.
Test suite:
Test the case is when the full pathname length of a dir is close
to 260 (MAX_PATH).

Add a macro to mark code sections that only read from the file system,
along with a config option and documentation.
This facilitates implementation of relatively simple file system level
caches without the need to synchronize with the file system.
Enable read-only sections for 'git status' and preload_index.

When building the `doc` with `asciidoctor`, `asciidoctor` complains about
a nested code block in a callout list. This is a really dirty solution to
restore the callout list to function properly. There is a minimal visual
sideeffect; the *immitated* codeblock has no overall greyish background.
Instead the individual lines have it.
Note: When building this patch with `asciidoc` the background is totally
gone but the font is still monospaced.

The `user-manual.txt` ist designed as a `book` but the `Makefile` wants to
build it as an `article`. This seems to be a problem when building the
documentation with `asciidoctor`. Furthermore the parts *Git Glossary*
and *Apendix B* had no subsections which is not allowed when building with
`asciidoctor`. So lets add a *dummy* section.

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]

Long ago, I documented a corruption recovery I did and gave
some C code that I used to help find a flipped bit. I had
to fix a similar case recently, and I ended up writing a few
more tools. I hope nobody ever has to use these, but it
does not hurt to share them, just in case.

Merges with an absurd number of parents are still a bad idea because
they do not render well in tools like gitk, but if they are present
in the repository being imported into git then there's no need to
avoid reproducing them faithfully.
In olden times, before v1.6.0-rc0~194 (2008-06-27), git commit-tree
and higher-level tools built on top of it were limited to writing 16
parents for a commit. Nowadays normal git operations are happy to
write more parents when asked, so the motivation for this note in the
fast-import documentation is gone and we can remove it.
