merge-base: teach "--fork-point" mode

The "git pull --rebase" command computes the fork point of the
branch being rebased using the reflog entries of the "base" branch
(typically a remote-tracking branch) the branch's work was based on,
in order to cope with the case in which the "base" branch has been
rewound and rebuilt.  For example, if the history looked like this:

                     o---B1
                    /
    ---o---o---B2--o---o---o---Base
            \
             B3
              \
               Derived

where the current tip of the "base" branch is at Base, but earlier
fetch observed that its tip used to be B3 and then B2 and then B1
before getting to the current commit, and the branch being rebased
on top of the latest "base" is based on commit B3, it tries to find
B3 by going through the output of "git rev-list --reflog base" (i.e.
Base, B1, B2, B3) until it finds a commit that is an ancestor of the
current tip "Derived".

Internally, we have get_merge_bases_many() that can compute this
with one-go.  We would want a merge-base between Derived and a
fictitious merge commit that would result by merging all the
historical tips of "base".  When such a commit exist, we should get
a single result, which exactly match one of the reflog entries of
"base".

Teach "git merge-base" a new mode, "--fork-point", to compute
exactly that.

merge-recursive: internal flag to avoid touching the worktree

o->call_depth has a double function: a nonzero call_depth means we
want to construct virtual merge bases, but it also means we want to
avoid touching the worktree.  Introduce a new flag o->no_worktree to
trigger only the latter.

refs: remove unused function invalidate_ref_cache

The function 'invalidate_ref_cache' was introduced in 79c7ca5 (2011-10-17,
invalidate_ref_cache(): rename function from invalidate_cached_refs())
by a rename and elevated to be publicly usable in 8be8bde (2011-10-17,
invalidate_ref_cache(): expose this function in the refs API)

However it is not used anymore, as 8bf90dc (2011-10-17, write_ref_sha1():
only invalidate the loose ref cache) and (much) later 506a760 (2013-04-22,
refs: change how packed refs are deleted) removed any calls to this
function. So it seems as if we don't need that function any more,
good bye!

PATCH] t3200: do not open a HTML manual page when DEFAULT_MAN_FORMAT is html

We have the build configuration option DEFAULT_MAN_FORMAT to choose a
format different from man pages to be used by 'git help' when no format
is requested explicitly. Since 65db0443 (Set the default help format to
html for msys builds, 2013-06-04) we use html on Windows by default.

There is one test in t3200-branch.sh that invokes a help page. The
intent of the redirections applied to the command invocation is to avoid
that the man page viewer interferes with the automated test. But when
the default format is not "man", this does not have the intended effect,
and the HTML manual page is opened during the test run. Request "man"
format explicitly to keep the test silent.

t5300-pack-object: do not compare binary data using test_cmp

Windows: a test_cmp that is agnostic to random LF <> CRLF conversions

In a number of tests, output that was produced by a shell script is
compared to expected output using test_cmp. Unfortunately, the MSYS bash--
when invoked via git, such as in hooks--converts LF to CRLF on output
(as produced by echo and printf), which leads to many false positives.

Implements a diff tool that undoes the converted CRLF. To avoid that
sub-processes are spawned (which is very slow on Windows), the tool is
implemented as a shell function. Diff is invoked as usual only when a
difference is detected by the shell code.

remote-curl: fix large pushes with GSSAPI

Due to an interaction between the way libcurl handles GSSAPI authentication over
HTTP and the way git uses libcurl, large pushes (those over http.postBuffer
bytes) would fail due to an authentication failure requiring a rewind of the
curl buffer.  Such a rewind was not possible because the data did not fit into
the entire buffer.

Enable the use of the Expect: 100-continue header for large requests where the
server offers GSSAPI authentication to avoid this issue, since the request would
otherwise fail.  This allows git to get the authentication data right before
sending the pack contents.  Existing cases where pushes would succeed, including
small requests using GSSAPI, still disable the use of 100 Continue, as it causes
problems for some remote HTTP implementations (servers and proxies).
