f9e86f4190 Remove CHILD_MAX
The CHILD_MAX macro in limits.h should not be there.  It claims to be the
limit on processes a user can own, but its value is wrong for that.
There is no constant value, but a variable resource limit (RLIMIT_NPROC).
Nothing in the kernel uses CHILD_MAX.

The proper thing to do according to POSIX is not to define CHILD_MAX at all.
The sysconf (_SC_CHILD_MAX) implementation works by calling getrlimit.

7729303469 Remove OPEN_MAX
The OPEN_MAX macro in limits.h should not be there.  It claims to be the
limit on file descriptors in a process, but its value is wrong for that.
There is no constant value, but a variable resource limit (RLIMIT_NOFILE).
Nothing in the kernel uses OPEN_MAX except things that are wrong to do so.
I've submitted other patches to remove those uses.

The proper thing to do according to POSIX is not to define OPEN_MAX at all.
The sysconf (_SC_OPEN_MAX) implementation works by calling getrlimit.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
