2009-05-25fix cat-file usage message and documentationJeff King
cat-file with an object on the command line requires an option to tell it what to output (type, size, pretty-print, etc). However, the square brackets in the usage imply that those options are not required. This patch switches them to parentheses to indicate "required but grouped-OR" (curly braces might also work, but this follows the convention used already by "git stash"). While we're at it, let's change the <sha1> specifier in the usage to <object>. That's what the documentation uses, and it does actually use the regular object lookup.

2009-04-25Add an option not to use link(src, dest) && unlink(src) when that is unreliableJohannes Schindelin
It seems that accessing NTFS partitions with ufsd (at least on my EeePC) has an unnerving bug: if you link() a file and unlink() it right away, the target of the link() will have the correct size, but consist of NULs. It seems as if the calls are simply not serialized correctly, as single-stepping through the function move_temp_to_file() works flawlessly. As ufsd is "Commertial software" (sic!), I cannot fix it, and have to work around it in Git. At the same time, it seems that this fixes msysGit issues 222 and 229 to assume that Windows cannot handle link() && unlink().
