Makefile: explicitly set target name for autogenerated dependencies

"gcc -MF depfile -MMD -MP -c -o path/to/file.o" produces a makefile
snippet named "depfile" describing what files are needed to build the
target given by "-o".  When ccache versions before v3.0pre0~187 (Fix
handling of the -MD and -MDD options, 2009-11-01) run, they execute

gcc -MF depfile -MMD -MP -E

instead to get the final content for hashing.  Notice that the "-c -o"
combination is replaced by "-E".  The result is a target name without
a leading path.

Thus when building git with such versions of ccache with
COMPUTE_HEADER_DEPENDENCIES enabled, the generated makefile snippets
define dependencies for the wrong target:

$ make builtin/add.o
GIT_VERSION = 1.7.8.rc3
    * new build flags or prefix
    CC builtin/add.o
$ head -1 builtin/.depend/add.o.d
add.o: builtin/add.c cache.h git-compat-util.h compat/bswap.h strbuf.h \

After a change in a header file, object files in a subdirectory are
not automatically rebuilt by "make":

$ touch cache.h
$ make builtin/add.o
$

Luckily we can prevent trouble by explicitly supplying the name of the
target to ccache and gcc, using the -MQ option.  Do so.

attr: fix off-by-one directory component length calculation

94bc671 (Add directory pattern matching to attributes - 2012-12-08)
uses find_basename() to calculate the length of directory part in
prepare_attr_stack. This function expects the directory without the
trailing slash (as "origin" field in match_attr struct is without the
trailing slash). find_basename() includes the trailing slash and
confuses push/pop algorithm.

Consider path = "abc/def" and the push down code:

while (1) {
len = strlen(attr_stack->origin);
if (dirlen <= len)
break;
cp = memchr(path + len + 1, '/', dirlen - len - 1);
if (!cp)
cp = path + dirlen;

dirlen is 4, not 3, without this patch. So when attr_stack->origin is
"abc", it'll miss the exit condition because 4 <= 3 is wrong. It'll
then try to push "abc/" down the attr stack (because "cp" would be
NULL). So we have both "abc" and "abc/" in the stack.

Next time when "abc/ghi" is checked, "abc/" is popped out because of
the off-by-one dirlen, only to be pushed back in again by the above
code. This repeats for all files in the same directory. Which means
at least one failed open syscall per file, or more if .gitattributes
exists.

rebase --preserve-merges: keep all merge commits including empty ones

Since 90e1818f9a  (git-rebase: add keep_empty flag, 2012-04-20)
'git rebase --preserve-merges' fails to preserve empty merge commits
unless --keep-empty is also specified.  Merge commits should be
preserved in order to preserve the structure of the rebased graph,
even if the merge commit does not introduce changes to the parent.

Teach rebase not to drop merge commits only because they are empty.

A special case which is not handled by this change is for a merge commit
whose parents are now the same commit because all the previous different
parents have been dropped as a result of this rebase or some previous
operation.
