"git daemon" (with NO_IPV6 build configuration) used to incorrectly
use the hostname even when gethostbyname() reported that the given
hostname is not found.

The "Everyday GIT With 20 Commands Or So" is not accessible via the
Git help system. Move everyday.txt to giteveryday.txt so that "git
help everyday" works, and create a new placeholder file everyday.html
to refer people who follow existing URLs to the updated location.
giteveryday.txt now formats well with AsciiDoc as a man page and
refreshed content to a more command modern style.
Add 'everyday' to the help --guides list and update git(1) and 5
other links to giteveryday.

We have had "git -C $there" to first go to a different directory
and run a Git command without changing the arguments for quite some
time. Use it instead of (cd $there && git ...) in the completion
script.
This allows us to lose the work-around for misfeatures of modern
interactive-minded shells that make "cd" unusable in scripts (e.g.
end users' $CDPATH taking us to unexpected places in any POSIX
shell, and chpwd functions spewing unwanted output in zsh).
Based on Øystein Walle's idea, which was raised during the
discussion on the solution by Brandon Turner for a problem zsh users
had with RVM which mucks with chpwd_functions in users' environments
(https://github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/issues/3076).
As $root variable, which is used to direct where to chdir to, is set
to "." based on if $2 to __git_index_files is set (not if it is empty),
the only caller of the function is fixed not to pass the optional $2
when it does not want us to switch to a different directory. Otherwise
we would end up doing "git -C '' command...", which would not work.
Maybe we would want "git -C '' command..." to mean "do not chdir
anywhere", but that is a spearate topic.

Neither the AsciiDoc nor the Asciidoctor documentation specify whether
the same number of delimiter characters must be used to end a block as
to begin it, although both sets of documentation show exactly matching
pairs. AsciiDoc allows mismatches, but AsciiDoctor apparently does not.
Adjust the pretty formats documentation to use matching pairs to prevent
a misrendering where the remainder of the document was rendered as a
listing block.

When running a required clean filter, we do not have to mmap the
original before feeding the filter. Instead, stream the file
contents directly to the filter and process its output.
* sp/stream-clean-filter:
sha1_file: don't convert off_t to size_t too early to avoid potential die()
convert: stream from fd to required clean filter to reduce used address space
copy_fd(): do not close the input file descriptor
mmap_limit: introduce GIT_MMAP_LIMIT to allow testing expected mmap size
memory_limit: use git_env_ulong() to parse GIT_ALLOC_LIMIT
config.c: add git_env_ulong() to parse environment variable
convert: drop arguments other than 'path' from would_convert_to_git()

Continue where ae021d87 (use skip_prefix to avoid magic numbers) left off
and use skip_prefix() in more places for determining the lengths of prefix
strings to avoid using dependent constants and other indirect methods.

Add a new function, fdopen_lock_file(), which returns a FILE pointer
open to the lockfile. If a stream is open on a lock_file object, it is
closed using fclose() on commit, rollback, or close_lock_file().
This change will allow callers to use stdio to write to a lockfile
without having to muck around in the internal representation of the
lock_file object (callers will be rewritten in upcoming commits).

Move the interface declaration for the functions in lockfile.c from
cache.h to a new file, lockfile.h. Add #includes where necessary (and
remove some redundant includes of cache.h by files that already
include builtin.h).
Move the documentation of the lock_file state diagram from lockfile.c
to the new header file.

Callers who don't pass LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR might want to examine errno
to see what went wrong, so restore errno before returning.
In fact this function only has one caller, add_to_alternates_file(),
and it *does* use LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR, but, you know, think of future
generations.

commit_locked_index(), when writing to an alternate index file,
duplicates (poorly) the code in commit_lock_file(). And anyway, it
shouldn't have to know so much about the internal workings of lockfile
objects. So extract a new function commit_lock_file_to() that does the
work common to the two functions, and call it from both
commit_lock_file() and commit_locked_index().

Rewrite last_path_elm() to take a strbuf parameter and to trim off the
last path name element in place rather than returning a pointer to the
beginning of the last path name element. This simplifies the function
a bit and makes it integrate better with its caller, which is now also
strbuf-based. Rename the function accordingly and a bit less tersely.

Change resolve_symlink() to take a strbuf rather than a string as
parameter. This simplifies the code and removes an arbitrary pathname
length restriction. It also means that lock_file's filename field no
longer needs to be initialized to a large size.
