Between the libgit2 and the Git for Windows project, there has been a
discussion how we could share Git configuration to avoid duplication (or
worse: skew).
Earlier, libgit2 was nice enough to just re-use Git for Windows'
C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\etc\gitconfig
but with the upcoming Git for Windows 2.x, there would be more paths to
search, as we will have 64-bit and 32-bit versions, and the
corresponding config files will be in %PROGRAMFILES%\Git\mingw64\etc and
...\mingw32\etc, respectively.
Worse: there are portable Git for Windows versions out there which live
in totally unrelated directories, still.
Therefore we came to a consensus to use `%PROGRAMDATA%\Git\config` as the
location for shared Git settings that are of wider interest than just Git
for Windows.
Of course, the configuration in `%PROGRAMDATA%\Git\config` has the
widest reach, therefore it must take the lowest precedence, i.e. Git for
Windows can still override settings in its `etc/gitconfig` file.

When a user is registered in a Windows domain, it is really easy to
obtain the email address. So let's do that.

We do have the excellent GetUserInfoEx() function to obtain more
detailed information of the current user (if the user is part of a
Windows domain); Let's use it.
Suggested by Lutz Roeder.
To avoid the cost of loading Secur32.dll (even lazily, loading DLLs
takes a non-neglibile amount of time), we use the established technique
to load DLLs only when, and if, needed.

We do not actually need -mconsole; it is the default. But it hurts to
have it, as it breaks the assumption of the mingw-w64-git package that
it can reuse the flags to link git-bash.exe. So let's remove it.

Belated documentation update to adjust to a new world order that
happened a yew years ago.
* uk/merge-subtree-doc-update:
howto/using-merge-subtree: mention --allow-unrelated-histories
Code clean-up to serve as a BCP example.
Further clean-up patches may want to follow soon.
* sb/strbuf-h-update:
strbuf.h: format according to coding guidelines
Doc update.
* ma/commit-graph-docs:
Doc: refer to the "commit-graph file" with dash
git-commit-graph.txt: refer to "*commit*-graph file"
git-commit-graph.txt: typeset more in monospace
git-commit-graph.txt: fix bullet lists
Doc updates.
* fe/doc-updates:
git-describe.1: clarify that "human readable" is also git-readable
git-column.1: clarify initial description, provide examples
git-archimport.1: specify what kind of Arch we're talking about
A regression in Git 2.12 era made "git fsck" fall into an infinite
loop while processing truncated loose objects.
* jk/detect-truncated-zlib-input:
cat-file: handle streaming failures consistently
check_stream_sha1(): handle input underflow
t1450: check large blob in trailing-garbage test
Our test scripts can now take the '-V' option as a synonym for the
'--verbose-log' option.
* sg/test-verbose-log:
test-lib: introduce the '-V' short option for '--verbose-log'
The "container" mode of TravisCI is going away. Our .travis.yml
file is getting prepared for the transition.
* ss/travis-ci-force-vm-mode:
travis-ci: no longer use containers
Operations on promisor objects make sense in the context of only a
small subset of the commands that internally use the revisions
machinery, but the "--exclude-promisor-objects" option were taken
and led to nonsense results by commands like "log", to which it
didn't make much sense. This has been corrected.
* md/exclude-promisor-objects-fix:
exclude-promisor-objects: declare when option is allowed
Documentation/git-log.txt: do not show --exclude-promisor-objects
"git repack" in a shallow clone did not correctly update the
shallow points in the repository, leading to a repository that
does not pass fsck.
* js/shallow-and-fetch-prune:
repack -ad: prune the list of shallow commits
shallow: offer to prune only non-existing entries
repack: point out a bug handling stale shallow info
The receive.denyCurrentBranch=updateInstead codepath kicked in even
when the push should have been rejected due to other reasons, such
as it does not fast-forward or the update-hook rejects it, which
has been corrected.
* jc/receive-deny-current-branch-fix:
receive: denyCurrentBranch=updateinstead should not blindly update
