  git-sh-setup.sh: use dashdash with basename call

Calling basename on a argument that starts with a dash, like a login
shell, will result in an error. Add '--' before the argument so that
the argument is interpreted properly.

By default, Git used to set $LESS to -FRSX if $LESS was not set by
the user. The FRX flags actually make sense for Git (F and X because
sometimes the output Git pipes to less is short, and R because Git
pipes colored output). The S flag (chop long lines), on the other
hand, is not related to Git and is a matter of user preference. Git
should not decide for the user to change LESS's default.

More specifically, the S flag harms users who review untrusted code
within a pager, since a patch looking like:

    -old code;
    +new good code; [... lots of tabs ...] malicious code;

would appear identical to:

    -old code;
    +new good code;

Users who prefer the old behavior can still set the $LESS environment
variable to -FRSX explicitly, or set core.pager to 'less -S'.

The documentation in config.txt is made a bit longer to keep both an
example setting the 'S' flag (needed to recover the old behavior)
and an example showing how to unset a flag set by Git.

Just like we give a reasonable default for "less" via the LESS
environment variable, specify a reasonable default for "lv" via the
"LV" environment variable when spawning the pager.

* jn/pager-lv-default-env:
  pager: set LV=-c alongside LESS=FRSX

On systems with lv configured as the preferred pager (i.e.,
DEFAULT_PAGER=lv at build time, or PAGER=lv exported in the
environment) git commands that use color show control codes instead of
color in the pager:

	$ git diff
	^[[1mdiff --git a/.mailfilter b/.mailfilter^[[m
	^[[1mindex aa4f0b2..17e113e 100644^[[m
	^[[1m--- a/.mailfilter^[[m
	^[[1m+++ b/.mailfilter^[[m
	^[[36m@@ -1,11 +1,58 @@^[[m

"less" avoids this problem because git uses the LESS environment
variable to pass the -R option ('output ANSI color escapes in raw
form') by default.  Use the LV environment variable to pass 'lv' the
-c option ('allow ANSI escape sequences for text decoration / color')
to fix it for lv, too.

Noticed when the default value for color.ui flipped to 'auto' in
v1.8.4-rc0~36^2~1 (2013-06-10).

In a shell snippet meant to be sourced by other shell scripts, an
opening #! line does more harm than good.

The harm:

 - When the shell library is sourced, the interpreter and options from
   the #! line are not used.  Specifying a particular shell can
   confuse the reader into thinking it is safe for the shell library
   to rely on idiosyncrasies of that shell.

 - Using #! instead of a plain comment drops a helpful visual clue
   that this is a shell library and not a self-contained script.

 - Tools such as lintian can use a #! line to tell when an
   installation script has failed by forgetting to set a script
   executable.  This check does not work if shell libraries also start
   with a #! line.

The good:

 - Text editors notice the #! line and use it for syntax highlighting
   if you try to edit the installed scripts (without ".sh" suffix) in
   place.

The use of the #! for file type detection is not needed because Git's
shell libraries are meant to be edited in source form (with ".sh"
suffix).  Replace the opening #! lines with comments.

This involves tweaking the test harness's valgrind support to find
shell libraries by looking for "# " in the first line instead of "#!"
(see v1.7.6-rc3~7, 2011-06-17).

Suggested by Russ Allbery through lintian.  Thanks to Jeff King and
Clemens Buchacher for further analysis.

Tested by searching for non-executable scripts with #! line:

	find . -name .git -prune -o -type f -not -executable |
	while read file
	do
		read line <"$file"
		case $line in
		'#!'*)
			echo "$file"
			;;
		esac
	done

The only remaining scripts found are templates for shell scripts
(unimplemented.sh, wrap-for-bin.sh) and sample input used in tests
(t/t4034/perl/{pre,post}).

Document rules to use GIT_REFLOG_ACTION variable in the scripted
Porcelain.  git-rebase--interactive locally violates them, but it
is a leaf user that does not call out to or dot-source other
scripts, so it does not urgently need to be fixed.
