According to the IEEE 1003.2, the case with no patterns matched
shall return zero, so our /bin/sh is broken in this respect.
Wrote the patch and filed the PR.

Meanwhile, J. Hamano pointed me to the other places that has the
'while case' construct where I forgot to fix them.  The corrected
patch is below.

--- 1.5.3.2-while-case.patch begins here ---
Option parsing in the Git shell scripts uses the construct 'while
case "$#" in 0) break ;; esac; do ... done'.  This is neat, because
it needs no external commands invocation.  But for the FreeBSD's
original Bourne shell (that is not fully IEEE 1003.2-compliant) the
'case' construct that has not matched patterns does not modify the
exit value.  As per IEEE 1003.2, it should return zero: see
http://opengroup.org/onlinepubs/000095399, Shell and Utilities
Volume (XCU), Case Conditional Construct.

The fix is to add the case branch '*) : ;;'.  It also needs no
external commands invocation and it does its work, because ':'
always returns zero.

FreeBSD has the PR 116559,
  http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=116559
that fixes the shell issue.  If it will be committed, this patch
will not be needed anymore for systems that will have the fixed
/bin/sh.
