On Windows, there are dramatic problems when a command line grows
beyond PATH_MAX, which is restricted to 8191 characters on XP and
later (according to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/830473).
Work around this by just cutting off the command line at that length
(actually, at a space boundary) in the hope that only negative
refs are chucked: gitk will then do unnecessary work, but that is
still better than flashing the gitk window and exiting with exit
status 5 (which no Windows user is able to make sense of).
The first fix caused Tcl to fail to compile the regexp, see msysGit issue
427. Here is another fix without using regexp, and using a more relaxed
command line length limit to fix the original issue 387.

Assumes file names in git tree objects are UTF-8 encoded.
On most unix systems, the system encoding (and thus the TCL system
encoding) will be UTF-8, so file names will be displayed correctly.
On Windows, it is impossible to set the system encoding to UTF-8.
Changing the TCL system encoding (via 'encoding system ...', e.g. in the
startup code) is explicitly discouraged by the TCL docs.
Change gitk functions dealing with file names to always convert
from and to UTF-8.

Build the executable in 'script' phase in Travis CI integration, to
follow the established practice, rather than during 'before_script'
phase. This allows the CI categorize the failures better ('failed'
is project's fault, 'errored' is build environment's).
* sg/travis-build-during-script-phase:
travis-ci: build Git during the 'script' phase

two git commands that detect these whitespace errors to the commit
cleanup section of CONTRIBUTING.md.

Git documentation refers to $HOME and $XDG_CONFIG_HOME often, but does not specify how or where these values come from on Windows where neither is set by default. The new documentation reflects the behavior of setup_windows_environment() in compat/mingw.c.
