I contacted a number of Git authors and lined up their permission
to relicense their work for use in libgit2 and copied over their
code for diff driver xfuncname patterns. At this point, the code
I've copied is taken verbatim from core Git although Thomas Rast
warned me that the C++ patterns, at least, really need an update.
I've left off patterns where I don't feel like I have permission
at this point until I hear from more authors.
In email, Torsten Bögershausen agreed that we could use his code
from core Git in libgit2 under the modified license. Also, since
his work is the basis for much of the precompose unicode support,
I have added him to the AUTHORS file as well.
This is to be used for application code that currently
resides in git, but only for authors whose only not
insignificant contributions are for that code (such as
"imap-send").
Presently, this is used for Mike McCormack and Robert
Shearman.

Adam has made significant contributions to the http
transport code, but his listed email address is no longer

Since re-using code from git.git proper is the quick way
forward, we need to list those who have given their consent
to do just that. The relicense permission is only valid for
use with libgit2, and only for GPLv2 + gcc-exception (as
specified by 'COPYING'.
