The `post-build-hook` text currently appears in the index, but not on the actual title line of the section, this follows the pattern used in a previous section to get a reference into a title.

Remove superfluous IAM action for S3 cache
2019-10-22Remove superfluous IAM action for S3 cacheChaz Schlarp
`s3:ListObjects` isn't a real IAM action, but _is_ the name of an S3 API method. `s3:ListBucket` is the relevant action for that method. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/list_amazons3.html

2019-09-11docs: Use the explicit ref for fetchGit with a tagJulien Tanguy
With the merge of #2582, the syntax "tags/1.9" for refs does not work anymore. However, the new syntax "refs/tags/1.9" seems to support annotated tags, such as "refs/tags/2.0". Closes #2385.

Make curl's low speed limit configurable via stalled-download-timeout. Before, this limit was five minutes without receiving a single byte. This is much too long as if the remote end may not have even acknowledged the HTTP request.
