When building libgit2 for ia32 architecture on a x64 machine, including
"config.h" without a "common.h" would result the following error:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\include\winbase.h(2288): error C2373: 'InterlockedIncrement' : redefinition; different type modifiers [C:\cygwin\home\zcbenz\codes\git-utils\build\libgit2.vcxproj]

remove rpm spec file and readme

Fedora provides a rpm package for libgit2 -
https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/libgit2.

Allow -DWINHTTP=OFF to disable WinHTTP

Use two calls to set two headers

fix typos in README.md

It turns out that variables have function scope by default. Let's
really set -liconv and add a few libraries that were forgotten in
the previous commit.

We also need to special-case OSX, as they ship zlib but do not provide
a pkg-config file for it.

Be explicit about dependencies

transport: let the progress output return an error

There are any number of issues that can come up in the progress
callback, and we should let the user cancel at that point as well.

When linking statically, the including project needs to know what the
current library build depends on so they can link to it. Store this
information in the pkg-config file.

While here, remove claims that users need to link to zlib or libcrypto.

RFC: Proposed reworking of diff APIs

It seems that to implement these options, we just have to pass
the appropriate flags through to the libxdiff code taken from
core git.  So let's do it (and add a test).

Instead of having functions with so very many parameters to pass
hunk and line data, this takes the existing git_diff_hunk struct
and extends it with more hunk data, plus adds a git_diff_line.
Those structs are used to pass back hunk and line data instead of
the old APIs that took tons of parameters.

Some work that was previously only being done for git_diff_patch
creation (scanning the diff content for exact line counts) is now
done for all callbacks, but the performance difference should not
be noticable.

Allowed credential types should be a bitfield

While the base git_diff_delta structure always contains two files,
when we introduce conflict data, it will be helpful to have an
indicator when an additional file is involved.

license clarification + formatting all over

fixed typo `can can` -> `can`

added the second change suggested by @nulltoken (with two extra words :) )

There are commercial open source applications, hence proprietary seems to be a better term.

Also:
 - Trimmed header `=`'s to match text length
 - made libgit2 stand out everywhere
 - pretty printing links
 - irc link for those with the correct setup

Checkout merge

It seemed exceptionally silly to have a split there
where no split needed to be.

Move conflict handling into two steps: load the conflicts and
then apply the conflicts.  This is more compatible with the
existing checkout implementation and makes progress reporting
more sane.

If a D/F conflict or rename 2->1 conflict occurs,
we write the file sides as filename~branchname.  If
a file with that name already exists in the working
directory, write as filename~branchname_0 instead.
(Incrementing 0 until a unique filename is found.)

rename conflict tests for checkout conflicts, don't suffix filenames
when checking out with USE_OURS or USE_THEIRS

Prevent checkout tree when unresolved changes exist (unless FORCE flag
is specified).  Clear NAME table when checking out, to avoid
checkout_conflicts from attempting to manipulate it.  Ensure that NAME
is also cleared at reset.
