update_unicode.sh: move it into contrib/update-unicode

bbolli · gitster · commit f3eb54920eff · 2016-12-13T16:12:47.000-08:00
As it's used only by a tiny minority of the Git developer population,
this script does not belong into the main Git source directory.

Move it into contrib/ and adjust the paths to account for the new
location.

+TL;DR: Run update_unicode.sh after the publication of a new Unicode
+standard and commit the resulting unicode_widths.h file.
+
+The long version
+================
+
+The Git source code ships the file unicode_widths.h which contains
+tables of zero and double width Unicode code points, respectively.
+These tables are generated using update_unicode.sh in this directory.
+update_unicode.sh itself uses a third-party tool, uniset, to query two
+Unicode data files for the interesting code points.
+
+On first run, update_unicode.sh clones uniset from Github and builds it.
+This requires a current-ish version of autoconf (2.69 works per December
+2016).
+
+On each run, update_unicode.sh checks whether more recent Unicode data
+files are available from the Unicode consortium, and rebuilds the header
+unicode_widths.h with the new data. The new header can then be
+committed.
