If work_dir is not specified, use repo_dir to test if symlink is supported

Fix checking of return value for regcomp.

The regcomp function returns a non-zero value if compilation of
a regular expression fails. In most places we only check for
negative values, but positive values indicate an error, as well.
Fix this tree-wide, fixing a segmentation fault when calling
git_config_iterator_glob_new with an invalid regexp.

Fix describe without refs and OID fallbacks

GIT_UNUSED() macro generates code therefore it should be used after
variable declarations.

When no reference names could be found we did error out when trying to describe
a commit. This is wrong, though, when the option to fall back to a commit's
object ID is set.

Entry argument passed to git_index_add_frombuffer() should be const

gitignore: ignore vim swapfiles

Clear temporary buffer when filtering

If we are using a temporary buffer for filtering, be sure to clear
it before using it, in case the file that we are filtering is empty.

squash some leaks

Add a custom param to git_smart_subtransport_definition

WinHTTP for MinGW

note: use a git_buf to return the default namespace

examples: add remote example.

checkout: report correct invalid path

In case of a bad url or other error during the connection setup, we
close the stream via free.

fix changelog

mkdir-ext: Assume directories don't exist; fix all race cases

win32 resource: allow custom comments field in DLL

Allow merges of files (and trees) with whitespace problems/fixes

The smart transport has already take the payload param. For the
sub transport a payload param is useful for the implementer.
