Move the similarity and dissimilarity index header description closer to
where those extended headers are described.

Describe and/or clarify the format used for file modes, pathnames, and
the index header.

Document that all "old" files refer to the state before applying the
*entire* output, and all "new" files refer to the state thereafter.

The current script used by annotate-tests.sh (used by t8001 and t8002) fails
to emit a warning if any of the expected authors never show up in the output
or if authors that show up in the output were never specified as expected.
Update the script to fail in both of these scenarios.

e32dfec79f repack: place temporary packs under .git/objects/pack/
git-pack-objects is already careful to start out its temporary packs
under .git/objects/pack/ (cf. 8b4eb6b, Do not perform cross-directory
renames when creating packs, 2008-09-22), but git-repack did not
respond in kind so the effort was lost when the filesystem boundary is
exactly at that directory.

Let git-repack pass a path under .git/objects/pack/ as the base for
its temporary packs.

This means we might need the $PACKDIR sooner (before the pack-objects
invocation), so move the mkdir up just to be safe.

Also note that the only use of *.pack is in the find invocation way
before the pack-objects call, so the temporary packs will not suddenly
show up in any wildcards because of the directory change.

3421578393 fast-import: tighten M 040000 syntax
When tree_content_set() is asked to modify the path "foo/bar/",
it first recurses like so:

	tree_content_set(root, "foo/bar/", sha1, S_IFDIR) ->
	 tree_content_set(root:foo, "bar/", ...) ->
	  tree_content_set(root:foo/bar, "", ...)

And as a side-effect of 2794ad5 (fast-import: Allow filemodify to set
the root, 2010-10-10), this last call is accepted and changes
the tree entry for root:foo/bar to refer to the specified tree.

That seems safe enough but let's reject the new syntax (we never meant
to support it) and make it harder for frontends to introduce pointless
incompatibilities with git fast-import 1.7.3.

5edde51018 fast-import: filemodify after M 040000 <tree> "" crashes
Until M 040000 <tree> "" syntax was introduced in commit 2794ad5
(fast-import: Allow filemodify to set the root, 2010-10-10), it
was impossible for the root entry to refer to an unloaded tree.
Update various functions to take that possibility into account.
Otherwise

	M 040000 <tree> ""
	M 100644 :1 "foo"

and similar commands (using D, C, or R after resetting the root
tree) segfault.

d7c411b71d push: pass --progress down to git-pack-objects
When pushing via builtin transports (like file://, git://), the
underlying transport helper (in this case, git-pack-objects) did not get
the --progress option, even if it was passed to git push.

Fix this, and update the tests to reflect this.

Note that according to the git-pack-objects documentation, we can safely
apply the usual --progress semantics for the transport commands like
clone and fetch (and for pushing over other smart transports).

e674c17db2 test_terminal: ensure redirections work reliably
For terminal tests that capture output/stderr, the TTY prerequisite
warning does not quite work for commands like

	test_terminal foo >out 2>err

because the warning gets "swallowed" up by the redirection that's
supposed only to be done by the subcommand.

Even worse, the outcome depends on whether stdout was already a
terminal (in which case test_terminal is a noop) or not (in which case
test_terminal introduces a pseudo-tty in the middle of the pipeline).

	$ test_terminal.perl sh -c 'test -t 1 && echo >&2 YES' >out
	YES
	$ sh -c 'test -t 1 && echo >&2 YES' >out
	$

So:

 - use the test_terminal script even when running with "-v".

 - skip tests that require a terminal when the test_terminal
   script is unusable because IO::Pty is not installed.

 - write the "need to declare TTY prerequisite" message to fd 4,
   where it will be printed when running tests with -v, rather
   than being swallowed up by an unrelated redireciton.

996621eb4d test_terminal: catch use without TTY prerequisite
It is easy to forget to declare the TTY prerequisite when
writing tests on a system where it would always be satisfied
(because IO::Pty is installed; see v1.7.3-rc0~33^2, 2010-08-16
for example).  Automatically detect this problem so there is
no need to remember.

	test_terminal: need to declare TTY prerequisite
	test_must_fail: command not found: test_terminal echo hi

test_terminal returns status 127 in this case to simulate
not being available.

Also replace the SIMPLEPAGERTTY prerequisite on one test with
"SIMPLEPAGER,TTY", since (1) the latter is supported now and
(2) the prerequisite detection relies on the TTY prereq being
explicitly declared.

e23f436c35 tests: test terminal output to both stdout and stderr
Some outputs (like the pager) care whether stdout is a
terminal. Others (like progress meters) care about stderr.

This patch sets up both. Technically speaking, we could go
further and set up just one (because either the other goes
to a terminal, or because our tests are only interested in
one). This patch does both to keep the interface to
lib-terminal simple.

64f003abd9 send-pack: avoid redundant "pack-objects died with strange error"
Saying "pack-objects died with strange error" after "pack-objects died
of signal 13" seems kind of redundant.  The latter message was
introduced when the run-command API changed to report abnormal exits
on behalf of the caller (v1.6.5-rc0~86^2~5, 2009-07-04).

Similarly, after a controlled pack-objects failure (detectable as a
normal exit with nonzero status), a "died with strange error" message
would be redundant next to the message from pack-objects itself.

So leave off the "strange error" messages.

The result should look something like this:

	$ git push sf master
	Counting objects: 21542, done.
	Compressing objects: 100% (4179/4179), done.
	fatal: Unable to create temporary file: Permission denied
	error: pack-objects died of signal 13
	error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://sf.net/gitroot/project/project'
	$

Or in the "controlled exit" case (contrived example):

	[...]
	fatal: delta size changed
	error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://example.com/foo/bar'
	$

55846b9abd merge-file: correctly find files when called in subdir
Since b541248 (merge.conflictstyle: choose between "merge" and "diff3
-m" styles, 2008-08-29), git-merge-file uses setup_directory_gently(),
thus cd'ing around to find any possible config files to use.

This broke merge-file when it is called from within a subdirectory of
a repository, and the arguments are all relative paths.

Fix by prepending the prefix, as passed down from the main git
setup code, if there is any.

d8d2eb7d6b mailmap: fix use of freed memory
On an x86_64 system (F13-based), I ran these commands in an empty directory:

    git init
    printf '%s\n' \
      '<jdoe@example.com> <jdoe@example.COM>' \
      'John <jdoe@example.com>' > .mailmap
    git shortlog < /dev/null

Here's the result:

    (reading log message from standard input)
    *** glibc detected *** git: free(): invalid pointer: 0x0000000000f53730 ***
    ======= Backtrace: =========
    /lib64/libc.so.6[0x31ba875676]
    git[0x48c2a5]
    git[0x4b9858]
    ...
    zsh: abort (core dumped)  git shortlog

What happened?

Some .mailmap entry is of the <email1> <email2> form,
while a subsequent one looks like "User Name <Email2>,
and the two email addresses on the right are not identical
but are "equal" when using a case-insensitive comparator.

Then, when add_mapping is processing the latter line, new_email is NULL
and we free me->email, yet do not replace it with a new strdup'd string.
Thus, when later we attempt to use the buffer behind that ->email pointer,
we reference freed memory.

The solution is to free ->email and ->name only if we're about to replace them.

2794ad5244 fast-import: Allow filemodify to set the root
v1.7.3-rc0~75^2 (Teach fast-import to import subtrees named by tree id,
2010-06-30) has a shortcoming - it doesn't allow the root to be set.
Extend this behaviour by allowing the root to be referenced as the
empty path, "".

For a command (like filter-branch --subdirectory-filter) that wants
to commit a lot of trees that already exist in the object db, writing
undeltified objects as loose files only to repack them later can
involve a significant amount of overhead.
(23% slow-down observed on Linux 2.6.35, worse on Mac OS X 10.6)

Fortunately we have fast-import (which is one of the only git commands
that will write to a pack directly) but there is not an advertised way
to tell fast-import to commit a given tree without unpacking it.

This patch changes that, by allowing

	M 040000 <tree id> ""

as a filemodify line in a commit to reset to a particular tree without
any need to parse it.  For example,

	M 040000 4b825dc642 ""

is a synonym for the deleteall command and the fast-import equivalent of

	git read-tree 4b825dc642

add aliases for pretty formats, 2010-05-02), so let's offer those
after '--pretty=' and '--format=' for 'log' and 'show', too.

Similar to the completion of aliases, this will invoke 'git config'
each time pretty aliases needs to be completed, so changes in pretty.*
configuration will be reflected immediately.

2a5da75579 bash: support more 'git notes' subcommands and their options
The current completion function for 'git notes' only supported the
'edit' and 'show' subcommands and none of their options.  This patch
adds support for all missing subcommands, options, and their arguments
(files or refs), if any.

The code responsible for completing subcommand looks different
compared to the completion functions of other git commands with
subcommands.  This is because of the '--ref <notes-ref>' option which
comes before the subcommand (i.e. git notes --ref <notes-ref> add).

The completion script only offered path completion after 'git bisect
start', although bad and good refs could also be specified before the
doubledash.

2c7c3877de bisect: check for mandatory argument of 'bisect replay'
'git bisect replay' has a mandatory logfile argument, but the current
implementation doesn't check whether the user has specified one.  When
the user omits the logfile argument, this leads to the following
unhelpful error message:

  cannot read  for replaying

So, check for the mandatory argument first, and provide a more
meaningful error message when it is omitted.

3bb8cf8824 bisect: improve error msg of 'bisect reset' when original HEAD is deleted
'git bisect reset' (without the optional <commit> argument) returns to
the original HEAD from where the bisection was started.  However,
when, for whatever reason, the user deleted the original HEAD before
invoking 'git bisect reset', then all he gets is an error message from
'git checkout':

  fatal: invalid reference: somebranch

Let's try to be more helpful with an error message better describing
what went wrong and a suggestion about how to resolve the situation:

  Could not check out original HEAD 'somebranch'. Try 'git bisect reset <commit>'.

412ff738ad bisect: improve error message of 'bisect log' while not bisecting
'git bisect log' is implemented by a direct invocation of 'cat
"$GIT_DIR/BISECT_LOG"', without any sanity checks.  Consequently,
running 'git bisect log' while not bisecting leads to an error,
because the bisect logfile doesn't exists.  The accompanying error
message

  cat: /path/to/repo/.git/BISECT_LOG: No such file or directory

is neither very helpful nor very friendly.

Instead of blindly trying to cat the log file, first check whether
there is a bisection going on (i.e. the bisect logfile exists), and
die with a more appropriate error message when not.

f66caaf9c8 do not overwrite files in leading path
If the work tree contains an untracked file x, and
unpack-trees wants to checkout a path x/*, the
file x is removed unconditionally.

Instead, apply the same checks that are normally
used for untracked files, and abort if the file
cannot be removed.

52a0a1bd10 t7607: use test-lib functions and check MERGE_HEAD
Use the test_commit and test_path_is_missing
functions from the test library.

Also make sure that a merge which fails due to
pre-merge checks aborts properly and does not
leave MERGE_HEAD behind.

The "will not overwrite removed file" test is an
exception to this. It notices the untracked file
at a stage where the merge is already well under
way. Therefore we cannot abort the merge without
major restructuring. See the following thread for
more details.
