gitweb: Fix handling of fractional timezones in parse_date

Fractional timezones, like -0330 (NST used in Canada) or +0430
(Afghanistan, Iran DST), were not handled properly in parse_date; this
means values such as 'minute_local' and 'iso-tz' were not generated
correctly.

This was caused by two mistakes:

* sign of timezone was applied only to hour part of offset, and not
  as it should be also to minutes part (this affected only negative
  fractional timezones).

* 'int $h + $m/60' is 'int($h + $m/60)' and not 'int($h) + $m/60',
  so fractional part was discarded altogether ($h is hours, $m is
  minutes, which is always less than 60).

Note that positive fractional timezones +0430, +0530 and +1030 can be
found as authortime in git.git repository itself.

For example http://repo.or.cz/w/git.git/commit/88d50e7 had authortime
of "Fri, 8 Jan 2010 18:48:07 +0000 (23:48 +0530)", which is not marked
with 'atnight', when "git show 88d50e7" gives correct author date of
"Sat Jan 9 00:18:07 2010 +0530".

stash: copy the index using --index-output instead of cp -p

'git stash create' must operate with a temporary index. For this purpose,
it used 'cp -p' to create a copy. -p is needed to preserve the timestamp
of the index file. Now Jakob Pfender reported a certain combination of
a Linux NFS client, OpenBSD NFS server, and cp implementation where this
operation failed.

Luckily, the first operation in git-stash after copying the index is to
call 'git read-tree'. Therefore, use --index-output instead of 'cp -p'
to write the copy of the index.

--index-output requires that the specified file is on the same volume as
the source index, so that the lock file can be rename()d. For this reason,
the name of the temporary index is constructed in a way different from the
other temporary files. The code path of 'stash -p' also needs a temporary
index, but we do not use the new name because it does not depend on the
same precondition as --index-output.

^I<span class="hl com">/*</span>$
<span class="hl com">^I * test</span>$
<span class="hl com">^I */</span>$

In gitweb, this winds up looking something like:

   1         /*
   2     * test
   3     */

I tried both Firefox and Opera and saw the same behavior.

The desired output is:

   1         /*

Note that the f245194 (diff: change semantics of "ignore whitespace"

git status shows modified paths relative to current directory, so it's
possible to copy&paste them directly, even if you're in a subdirectory.

But "git stash apply" always shows status from root of git repository.
This is misleading because you can't use the paths without modifications.

This is caused by changing directory to root of repository at the
beginning of git stash.

This patch makes git stash show status relative to current directory.
Instead of removing the "cd to toplevel", which would affect whole

temporarily back to original dir just before displaying status.

which is a rather unfortunately common pattern.

The target version of the file originally had only one such location, but
the hunk immediately before that created another instance of such block of
lines, and find_pos() happily reported that the preimage of the hunk
matched what it wanted to modify.

Oops.

By marking the lines application of earlier hunks touched and preventing
match_fragment() from considering them as a match with preimage of other
hunks, we can reduce such an accident.

I also considered to teach apply_one_fragment() to take the offset we have
found while applying the previous hunk into account when looking for a
match with find_pos(), but dismissed that approach, because it would
sometimes work better but sometimes worse, depending on the difference
between the version the patch was created against and the version the
patch is being applied.

This does _not_ prevent misapplication of patches to a file that has many
similar looking blocks of lines and a preimage cannot identify which one
of them should be applied.  For that, we would need to scan beyond the
first match in find_pos(), and issue a warning (or error out).  That will
be a separate topic.

pack window should be closed, place a hard upper limit on the

is not known what the C library needs to perform other services on

diff: handle diffstat of rewritten binary files

The logic in builtin_diffstat assumes that a
complete_rewrite pair should have its lines counted. This is
nonsensical for binary files and leads to confusing things
like:

  $ git diff --stat --summary HEAD^ HEAD
   foo.rand |  Bin 4096 -> 4096 bytes
   1 files changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)

   foo.rand |   34 +++++++++++++++-------------------
   1 files changed, 15 insertions(+), 19 deletions(-)
   rewrite foo.rand (100%)

So let's reorder the function to handle binary files first
(which from diffstat's perspective look like complete
rewrites anyway), then rewrites, then actual diffstats.

There are two bonus prizes to this reorder:

  1. It gets rid of a now-superfluous goto.

  2. The binary case is at the top, which means we can
