- Use strdup(do_big_num(...)) to replace num_to_byte_string(...).
- Allow a ',' for a decimal point in a SIZE option in some locales.
- Get rid of old (now unused) strdup() compatibility function.
- Try harder to include the newline in a single error message write.
- All the memory-allocation macros now auto-check for failure and exit
with a failure message that incudes the caller's file and lineno
info. This includes strdup().
- Added the `--max-alloc=SIZE` option to be able to override the memory
allocator's sanity-check limit. It defaults to 1G (as before).
Fixes bugzilla bug 12769.
I replaced git-set-file-times with an improved version that I wrote
recently (in python3). A new script uses it to figure out the
last-modified year for each *.[ch] file and updates its copyright.
It also puts the latest year into the latest-year.h file for the
output of --version.
