    user-manual: recovering from corruption
    
    Some instructions on dealing with corruption of the object database.
    
    Most of this text is from an example by Linus, identified by Nicolas
    Pitre <nico@cam.org> with a little further editing by me.

    user-manual: clarify language about "modifying" old commits
    
    It's important to remember that git doesn't really allowing "editing" or
    "modifying" commits, only replacing them by new commits.  Redo some of
    the language to make this clearer.

Hi,

attached are two patches:
the first fixes some build issues on solaris10/x86 with sunpro (and some
that also happen with gcc), while the second adds a simple way to add
additional search and link paths for curl library and headers.

I'll take this; thanks.

I'll do this slightly differently, because I do not want to have
"ifdef __platform_name" in the code when possible.

I'll do this in the way similar to how I did -liconv for Darwin.

Curious.  Doesn't the order of -l and -L/-R matter these days?

I am sympathetic to the reason why you need this, but if we go
this route we should also do openssl as well.  I'd drop this
part for now.

sorry, of course you're right..

the #ifndef __sun was done because getdomainname() doesn't exist on
solaris. (just for clarification)

> Curious.  Doesn't the order of -l and -L/-R matter these days?
hmm.. no idea why it worked for me, but a test case fails now: better
make that -L -R -l

because on solaris there are lots of places where external libraries
could be found (/usr/local/lib, /opt/csw/lib, whereever people who
package themselves put them). ld.so.conf doesn't exist (same as on
*bsd), so using -L and -R is the standard way of linking external
libraries.

To be honest, the right place to handle both these 
#defines is the Makefile.  AIX needs its own set of 
-Ds to turn on various standards.  ugh.  I'm sure 
HP-UX needs even more magic, IRIX needs (is?) a dead 
chicken, etc.

 - +#ifndef __sun
[...]
 -  		getdomainname(real_email+len, sizeof(real_email)-len);
[...]
 - +#endif

getdomainname isn't declared, but it is in libnsl
(on Solaris 8, Sparc) and works just fine.  Sun 
documents sysinfo (2) as its replacement, but that 
call is different on different platforms.  I'd be
shocked if getdomainname disappeared from libnsl,
especially since the C++ include files declare it.
Whoops.

 - +ifeq ($(shell uname -s),SunOS)
 - +  LIBS += -lsocket
 - +endif

Traditionally, it's -lsocket -lnsl to cover all the
bases.  Old SunOS4 -> SunOS5 porting annoyance.  That 
also lets getdomainname work.

The Makefile is generally insufficient for any platform
other than Linux with system-supplied support libraries.
Fixing that will take a good deal of work and probably
will involve putting a bunch of variable-defining makefile
fragments somewhere and including the "right" one.  With
the right variable definitions, a user can over-ride any
of them from the make command...

In the meantime, my personal coping method is just to copy
the Makefile to Makefile.platform, edit it, and use make -f 
Makefile.platform.  I could be really cool and just use a 
different git branch per platform, but I'm lazy.
