[PATCH] clean up git script
Makes git work with a pure POSIX shell (tested with bash --posix and ash).
Right now git causes ash to choke on the redundant shift on line two.
Reduces the number of system calls git makes just to do a usage

29ms on my x86 Linux box.
Presents a standard usage statement, and pretty prints the available

[PATCH] Trapping exit in tests, using return for errors
I have noticed that "make test" fails without any explanations when the
"merge" utility is missing. I don't think tests should be silent in
case of failure.
It turned out that the particular test was using "exit" to interrupt the
test in case of an error. This caused the whole test script to exit.
No further tests would be run even if "--immediate" wasn't specified.
No error message was printed.
This patch does following:
All instances of "exit", "exit 1" and "(exit 1)" in tests have been
replaced with "return 1". In fact, "(exit 1)" had no effect.
File descriptor 5 is duplicated from file descriptor 1. This is needed
to print important error messages from tests.
New function test_run_() has been introduced. Any "return" in the test
would merely cause that function to return without skipping calls to
test_failure_() and test_ok_(). The new function also traps "exit" and
treats it like a fatal error (in case somebody reintroduces "exit" in
the tests).
test_expect_failure() and test_expect_success() check both the result of
eval and the return value of test_run_(). If the later is not 0, it's
always a failure because it indicates the the test didn't complete.

[PATCH] Speed up git-merge-base a lot
In commit 4f7eb2e5a351e0d1f19fd4eab7e92834cc4528c2 I fixed git-merge-base
getting confused by datestamps that caused it to traverse things in a
non-obvious order.
However, my fix was a very brute-force one, and it had some really
horrible implications for more complex trees with lots of parallell
development. It might end up traversing all the way to the root commit.
Now, normally that isn't that horrible: it's used mainly for merging, and
the bad cases really tend to happen fairly rarely, so if it takes a few
seconds, we're not in too bad shape.
However, gitk will also do the git-merge-base for every merge it shows,
because it basically re-does the trivial merge in order to show the
"interesting" parts. And there we'd really like the result to be
instantaneous.
This patch does that by walking the tree more completely, and using the
same heuristic as git-rev-list to decide "ok, the rest is uninteresting".
In one - hopefully fairly extreme - case, it made a git-merge-base go from
just under five seconds(!) to a tenth of a second on my machine.

enough time has elapsed, regardless of how many commits we've drawn,
