Here are the portability patches we needed at TWW to enable git-1.7.0.2 to compile and run on all of the wide range of Unix machines we support. These patches apply to the git-1.7.0.2 release, and address all of the feedback from the previous two times I posted them to this list, most particularly splitting everything into many small self-contained chunks.

Note that I have not invested the time to figure out why the testsuite is mostly useless on everything but Linux and Solaris 8+, because I'm reasonably satisfied that the build itself is working properly. Most likely, it is merely GNUisms in the way the test cases call external tools. But maybe I'm missing something, but even the 3 new patches to address test errors when diff does not support the -u option don't improve the testsuite situation on HPUX, AIX, OSF1 and Solaris 7 and older.

Cheers,
