teach add_submodule_odb() to look for alternates

Since we allow to link other object databases when loading a submodules
database we should also load possible alternates.

diff --no-index: reset temporary buffer lengths on directory iteration

Commit 875b91b (diff --no-index: use strbuf for temporary pathnames,
2012-04-25) introduced a regression when using diff --no-index with
directories.  When iterating through a directory, the switch to strbuf
from heap-allocated char arrays caused paths to form like 'dir/file1',
'dir/file1file2', rather than 'dir/file1', 'dir/file2' as expected.

Avoid this by resetting the paths variables to their original length
before each iteration.

diff --no-index: don't leak buffers in queue_diff

queue_diff uses two strbufs, and at the end of the function
strbuf_reset was called.  This only reset the length of the buffer -
any allocated memory was leaked.  Using strbuf_release fixes this.

config doc: remove confusion about relative GIT_DIR from FILES section

From the FILES section of the git-config(1) manual:

	$GIT_DIR/config::
		Repository specific configuration file. (The filename is
		of course relative to the repository root, not the working
		directory.)

That's confusing because $GIT_DIR really is relative to the working
directory.

	$ GIT_DIR=.git GIT_EDITOR='pwd; echo editing'
	$ export GIT_DIR GIT_EDITOR
	$ git config --edit --local
	/home/jrn/src/git/Documentation
	editing .git/config

It turns out that the comment is a remnant from older days when the
heading said ".git/config" (which is indeed relative to the top of the
worktree).

It was only when the heading was changed to refer more precisely to
<git dir>/config (see v1.5.3.2~18, AsciiDoc tweak to avoid leading
dot, 2007-09-14) that the parenthesis stopped making sense.  Remove
it.

fmt-merge-message: add empty line between tag and signature verification

When adding the information from a tag, put an empty line between the
message of the tag and the commented-out signature verification
information.

At least for the kernel workflow, I often end up re-formatting the message
that people send me in the tag data. In that situation, putting the tag
message and the tag signature verification back-to-back then means that
normal editor "reflow parapgraph" command will get confused and think that
the signature is a continuation of the last message paragraph.

So I always end up having to first add an empty line, and then go back and
reflow the last paragraph. Let's just do it in git directly.

The extra vertical space also makes the verification visually stand out
more from the user-supplied message, so it looks a bit more readable to me
too, but that may be just an odd personal preference.

Merge branch 'bp/diff-no-index-strbuf-fix' into maint

The directory path used in "git diff --no-index", when it recurses
down, was broken with a recent update after v1.7.10.1 release.

Merge branch 'hv/submodule-alt-odb' into maint

When a submodule repository uses alternate object store mechanism, some
commands that were started from the superproject did not notice it and
failed with "No such object" errors.  The subcommands of "git submodule"
command that recursed into the submodule in a separate process were OK;
only the ones that cheated and peeked directly into the submodule's
repository from the primary process were affected.
