clone --single: limit the fetch refspec to fetched branch

After running "git clone --single", the resulting repository has the
usual default "+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*" wildcard fetch
refspec installed, which means that a subsequent "git fetch" will
end up grabbing all the other branches.

Update the fetch refspec to cover only the singly cloned ref instead
to correct this.

That means:
If "--single" is used without "--branch" or "--mirror", the
fetch refspec covers the branch on which remote's HEAD points to.
If "--single" is used with "--branch", it'll cover only the branch
specified in the "--branch" option.
If "--single" is combined with "--mirror", then it'll cover all
refs of the cloned repository.
If "--single" is used with "--branch" that specifies a tag, then
it'll cover only the ref for this tag.

receive-pack: redirect unpack-objects stdout to /dev/null

The unpack-objects command should not generally produce any
output on stdout. However, if it's given extra input after
the packfile, it will spew the remainder to stdout. When
called by receive-pack, this means we will break protocol,
since our stdout is connected to the remote send-pack.

receive-pack: send pack-processing stderr over sideband

Receive-pack invokes either unpack-objects or index-pack to
handle the incoming pack. However, we do not redirect the
stderr of the sub-processes at all, so it is never seen by
the client. From the initial thread adding sideband support,
which is here:

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/139471

it is clear that some messages are specifically kept off the
sideband (with the assumption that they are of interest only
to an administrator, not the client). The stderr of the
subprocesses is mentioned in the thread, but it's unclear if
they are included in that group, or were simply forgotten.

However, there are a few good reasons to show them to the
client:

  1. In many cases, they are directly about the incoming
     packfile (e.g., fsck warnings with --strict, corruption
     in the packfile, etc). Without these messages, the
     client just gets "unpacker error" with no extra useful
     diagnosis.

  2. No matter what the cause, we are probably better off
     showing the errors to the client. If the client and the
     server admin are not the same entity, it is probably
     much easier for the client to cut-and-paste the errors
     they see than for the admin to try to dig them out of a
     log and correlate them with a particular session.

  3. Users of the ssh transport typically already see these
     stderr messages, as the remote's stderr is copied
     literally by ssh. This brings other transports (http,
     and push-over-git if you are crazy enough to enable it)
     more in line with ssh. As a bonus for ssh users,
     because the messages are now fed through the sideband
     and printed by the local git, they will have "remote:"
     prepended and be properly interleaved with any local
     output to stderr.

receive-pack: drop "n/a" on unpacker errors

The output from git push currently looks like this:

  $ git push dest HEAD
  fatal: [some message from index-pack]
  error: unpack failed: index-pack abnormal exit
  To dest
   ! [remote rejected] HEAD -> master (n/a (unpacker error))

That n/a is meant to be "the per-ref status is not
available" but the nested parentheses just make it look
ugly. Let's turn the final line into just:

   ! [remote rejected] HEAD -> master (unpacker error)

git blame: document that it always follows origin across whole-file renames

Make it clear to people who (rightly or wrongly) think that the
"--follow" option should follow origin across while-file renames
that we already do so.  That would explain the output that they see
when they do give the "--follow" option to the command.

We may or may not want to do a "--no-follow" patch as a follow-up,
but that is a separate topic.

commit: pay attention to submodule.$name.ignore in .gitmodules

"git status" does not list a submodule with uncommitted working tree
files as modified when "submodule.$name.ignore" is set to "dirty" in
in-tree ".gitmodules" file.  Both status and commit honor the setting
in $GIT_DIR/config, but "commit" does not pick it up from .gitmodules,
which is inconsistent.

Teach "git commit" to pay attention to the setting in .gitmodules as
well.

mailinfo: don't require "text" mime type for attachments

Currently "git am" does insane things if the mbox it is given contains
attachments with a MIME type that aren't "text/*".

In particular, it will still decode them, and pass them "one line at a
time" to the mail body filter, but because it has determined that they
aren't text (without actually looking at the contents, just at the mime
type) the "line" will be the encoding line (eg 'base64') rather than a
line of *content*.

Which then will cause the text filtering to fail, because we won't
correctly notice when the attachment text switches from the commit message
to the actual patch. Resulting in a patch failure, even if patch may be a
perfectly well-formed attachment, it's just that the message type may be
(for example) "application/octet-stream" instead of "text/plain".

Just remove all the bogus games with the message_type. The only difference
that code creates is how the data is passed to the filter function
(chunked per-pred-code line or per post-decode line), and that difference
is *wrong*, since chunking things per pre-decode line can never be a
sensible operation, and cannot possibly matter for binary data anyway.

This code goes all the way back to March of 2007, in commit 87ab79923463
("builtin-mailinfo.c infrastrcture changes"), and apparently Don used to
pass random mbox contents to git. However, the pre-decode vs post-decode
logic really shouldn't matter even for that case, and more importantly, "I
fed git am crap" is not a valid reason to break *real* patch attachments.

If somebody really cares, and determines that some attachment is binary
data (by looking at the data, not the MIME-type), the whole attachment
should be dismissed, rather than fed in random-sized chunks to
"handle_filter()".
