session when multiply mounted.
Fixes slow response when cifs client is mounted to shares on multiple
servers and oplock break occurs (usually due to attempt to multiply open a
file). When treeids on mutiple mounted shares match and we find the wrong
match first, we searched for the wrong cached files to send oplock break
response for which usually meant that no matching file was found and thus
the server would have to timeout the notification. Oplock break timeout is
about 20 seconds on some servers so this could cause significantly slower
performance on file open calls in a few cases (in particular when multiple
shares are mounted from multiple servers, tree ids match, and we have a
cached file which is later opened multiple times). This was the most
important of the bugs that was found and fixed at Connectathon
(interoperability testing event) this week.

Forgetting to set wsize on the mount command costs more than 10% on large
write (can be much more) so this makes a saner default. We still shrink
this default smaller if server can not support it.

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!
