Fix mishandling of $Id$ expanded in the repository copy in convert.c
If the repository contained an expanded ident keyword (i.e. $Id:XXXX$),
then the wrong bytes were discarded, and the Id keyword was not
expanded. The fault was in convert.c:ident_to_worktree().
Previously, when a "$Id:" was found in the repository version,
ident_to_worktree() would search for the next "$" after this, and
discarded everything it found until then. That was done with the loop:
do {
ch = *cp++;
if (ch == '$')
break;
rem--;
} while (rem);
The above loop left cp pointing one character _after_ the final "$"
(because of ch = *cp++). This was different from the non-expanded case,
were cp is left pointing at the "$", and was different from the comment
which stated "discard up to but not including the closing $". This
patch fixes that by making the loop:
do {
ch = *cp;
if (ch == '$')
break;
cp++;
rem--;
} while (rem);
That is, cp is tested _then_ incremented.
This loop exits if it finds a "$" or if it runs out of bytes in the
source. After this loop, if there was no closing "$" the expansion is
skipped, and the outer loop is allowed to continue leaving this
non-keyword as it was. However, when the "$" is found, size is
corrected, before running the expansion:
size -= (cp - src);
This is wrong; size is going to be corrected anyway after the expansion,
so there is no need to do it here. This patch removes that redundant
correction.
To help find this bug, I heavily commented the routine; those comments
are included here as a bonus.

name-rev: tolerate clock skew in committer dates
In git.git repository, "git-name-rev v1.3.0~158" cannot name the
rev, while adjacent revs can be named.
This was because it gives up traversal from the tips of existing
refs as soon as it sees a commit that has older commit timestamp
than what is being named. This is usually a good heuristics,
but v1.3.0~158 has a slightly older commit timestamp than
v1.3.0~157 (i.e. it's child), as these two were made in a
separate repostiory (in fact, in a different continent).
This adds a hardcoded slop value (1 day) to the cut-off
heuristics to work this kind of problem around. The current
algorithm essentially runs around from the available tips down
to ancient commits and names every single rev available that are
newer than cut-off date, so a single day slop would not add that
much overhead in repositories with long enough history where the
performance of name-rev matters.
I think the algorithm could be made a bit smarter by deepening
the graph on demand as a new commit is asked to be named (this
would require rewriting of name_rev() function not to recurse
itself but use a traversal list like revision.c traverser does),

Fix crlf attribute handling to match documentation
gitattributes.txt says, of the crlf attribute:
Set::
Setting the `crlf` attribute on a path is meant to mark
the path as a "text" file. 'core.autocrlf' conversion
takes place without guessing the content type by
inspection.
That is to say that the crlf attribute does not force the file to have
CRLF line endings, instead it removes the autocrlf guesswork and forces
the file to be treated as text. Then, whatever line ending is defined
by the autocrlf setting is applied.
However, that is not what convert.c was doing. The conversion to CRLF
was being skipped in crlf_to_worktree() when the following condition was
true:
action == CRLF_GUESS && auto_crlf <= 0
That is to say conversion took place when not in guess mode (crlf attribute
not specified) or core.autocrlf set to true. This was wrong. It meant
that the crlf attribute being on for a given file _forced_ CRLF
conversion, when actually it should force the file to be treated as
text, and converted accordingly. The real test should simply be
auto_crlf <= 0
That is to say, if core.autocrlf is falsei (or input), conversion from
LF to CRLF is never done. When core.autocrlf is true, conversion from
LF to CRLF is done only when in CRLF_GUESS (and the guess is "text"), or
CRLF_TEXT mode.
Similarly for crlf_to_worktree(), if core.autocrlf is false, no conversion
should _ever_ take place. In reality it was only not taking place if
core.autocrlf was false _and_ the crlf attribute was unspecified.

git-archive: convert archive entries like checkouts do
As noted by Johan Herland, git-archive is a kind of checkout and needs
to apply any checkout filters that might be configured.
This patch adds the convenience function convert_sha1_file which returns
a buffer containing the object's contents, after converting, if necessary
(i.e. it's a combination of read_sha1_file and convert_to_working_tree).
Direct calls to read_sha1_file in git-archive are then replaced by calls
to convert_sha1_file.
Since convert_sha1_file expects its path argument to be NUL-terminated --
a convention it inherits from convert_to_working_tree -- the patch also
changes the path handling in archive-tar.c to always NUL-terminate the
string. It used to solely rely on the len field of struct strbuf before.
archive-zip.c already NUL-terminates the path and thus needs no such
change.

user-manual: reorganize public git repo discussion
Helping a couple people set up public repos recently, I wanted to point
them at this piece of the user manual, but found it wasn't as helpful as
it could be:
- It starts with a big explanation of why you'd want a public
repository, not necessary in their case since they already knew
why they wanted that. So, separate that out.
- It skimps on some of the git-daemon details, and puts the http
export information first. Fix that.
Also group all the public repo subsections into a single section, and do
some miscellaneous related editing.

user-manual: move howto/using-topic-branches into manual
Move howto/using-topic-branches into the user manual as an example for
the "sharing development" chapter. While we're at it, remove some
discussion that's covered in earlier chapters, modernize somewhat (use
separate-heads setup, remotes, replace "whatchanged" by "log", etc.),
and replace syntax we'd need to explain by syntax we've already covered
(e.g. old..new instead of new ^old).
The result may not really describe what Tony Luck does any more.... Hope
that's not annoying.

user-manual: move howto/make-dist.txt into user manual
There seems to be a perception that the howto's are bit-rotting a
little. The manual might be a more visible location for some of them,
and make-dist.txt seems like a good candidate to include as an example
in the manual.
For now, incorporate much of it verbatim. Later we may want to update
the example a bit.

Documentation: remove howto's now incorporated into manual
These two howto's have both been copied into the manual. I'd rather not
maintain both versions if possible, and I think the user-manual will be
more visible than the howto directory. (Though I wouldn't mind some
duplication if people really like having them here.)
