Additional GIT Updates and Enhancements

--recount option. * git-apply can be told to apply a patch to a path deeper than what the patch records with --directory option. * git-archive can be told to omit certain paths from its output using export-ignore attributes. * git-archive uses the zlib default compression level when creating zip archive. * git-archive's command line options --exec and --remote can take their parameters as separate command line arguments, similar to other commands. IOW, both "--exec=path" and "--exec path" are now supported. * With -v option, git-branch describes the remote tracking statistics similar to the way git-checkout reports by how many commits your branch is ahead/behind. * git-branch's --contains option used to always require a commit parameter to limit the branches with; it now defaults to list branches that contains HEAD if this parameter is omitted. * git-branch's --merged and --no-merged option used to always limit the branches relative to the HEAD, but they can now take an optional commit argument that is used in place of HEAD. * git-bundle can read the revision arguments from the standard input. * git-cherry-pick can replay a root commit now. * git-clone can clone from a remote whose URL would be rewritten by configuration stored in $HOME/.gitconfig now. * "git-clone --mirror" is a handy way to set up a bare mirror repository. * git-cvsserver learned to respond to "cvs co -c". * git-diff --check now checks leftover merge conflict markers. * "git-diff -p" learned to grab a better hunk header lines in BibTex, Pascal/Delphi, and Ruby files and also pays attention to chapter and part boundary in TeX documents. * When remote side used to have branch 'foo' and git-fetch finds that now it has branch 'foo/bar', it refuses to lose the existing remote tracking branch and its reflog. The error message has been improved to suggest pruning the remote if the user wants to proceed and get the latest set of branches from the remote, including such 'foo/bar'. * fast-export learned to export and import marks file; this can be used to interface with fast-import incrementally. * fast-import and fast-export learned to export and import gitlinks. * "gitk" left background process behind

This release includes further updates to GIT, such as new options for 'git-apply', 'git-archive', and 'git-branch', as well as improvements to 'git-bundle', 'git-cherry-pick', 'git-clone', and other commands, enhancing overall performance, usability, and functionality.
