69ae92bda1 shell portability: no "export VAR=VAL"
It is more portable to say "VAR=VAL && export VAR" instead.

bc97994530 CodingGuidelines: reword parameter expansion section
Group entries related to parameter substitutions together and avoid
using the word "regexp" to refer to the ${parameter/pattern/string}
substitution (banned), as the pattern there is a shell glob and not
a regular expression.

d0af3734f1 gitweb: Improve behavior for actionless path_info gitweb URLs
Eli Barzilay noticed that

  http://server/gitweb/project/<commit-sha1>

link goes to 'shortlog' view, while 'commit' view would be more
useful, but that 'shortlog' action is more apropriate for

  http://server/gitweb/project/<commit-sha1>..<other-commit-sha1>

links.

Therefore for the case when we don't have either action, or filename,
or parent hash [base] in path_info-based URL, i.e. for

  http://server/gitweb/project/<object-id>

link, instead of using 'shortlog' view we allow dispatch() subroutine
to detect type of object and use appropriate action (in most case it
would be either 'commit' action, or 'tag', or 'tree' for top
directory).

7e00dc58d1 gitweb: Fix bug in evaluate_path_info
There was bug in parsing "project/:/file" and "project/:/" path_info
URLs, with implicit HEAD as 'hash_base'.

For such URLs the refname is empty, and before this fix regexp for
parsing path_info fragment assumed that it is always non-empty.

Refname cannot contain ':', as per 'git check-ref-format'.

01f6fd4b4e Documentation: No argument of ALLOC_GROW should have side-effects
The explanatory comment before the definition of ALLOC_GROW carefully
lists arguments that will be used more than once and thus cannot have
side-effects; a lazy reader might conclude that the arguments not
listed are used only once and side effects safe.

Correct it to list all three arguments, avoiding this confusion.

892e6f7ea6 test-lib: make test_expect_code a test command
Change test_expect_code to be a normal test command instead of a
top-level command.

As a top-level command it would fail in cases like:

    test_expect_code 1 'phoney' '
        foo && bar && (exit 1)
    '

Here the test might incorrectly succeed if "foo" or "bar" happened to
fail with exit status 1. Instead we now do:

    test_expect_success 'phoney' '
        foo && bar && test_expect_code 1 "(exit 1)"
    '

Which will only succeed if "foo" and "bar" return status 0, and "(exit
1)" returns status 1.  Note that test_expect_code has been made slightly
noisier, as it reports the exit code it receives even upon success.

Some test code in t0000-basic.sh relied on the old semantics of
test_expect_code to test the test_when_finished command. I've
converted that code to use an external test similar to the TODO test I
added in v1.7.3-rc0~2^2~3.

dc1ae70487 Support case folding for git add when core.ignorecase=true
When MyDir/ABC/filea.txt is added to Git, the disk directory MyDir/ABC/
is renamed to mydir/aBc/, and then mydir/aBc/fileb.txt is added, the
index will contain MyDir/ABC/filea.txt and mydir/aBc/fileb.txt. Although
the earlier portions of this patch series account for those differences
in case, this patch makes the pathing consistent by folding the case of
newly added files against the first file added with that path.

In read-cache.c's add_to_index(), the index_name_exists() support used
for git status's case insensitive directory lookups is used to find the
proper directory case according to what the user already checked in.
That is, MyDir/ABC/'s case is used to alter the stored path for
fileb.txt to MyDir/ABC/fileb.txt (instead of mydir/aBc/fileb.txt).

This is especially important when cloning a repository to a case
sensitive file system. MyDir/ABC/ and mydir/aBc/ exist in the same
directory on a Windows machine, but on Linux, the files exist in two
separate directories. The update to add_to_index(), in effect, treats a
Windows file system as case sensitive by making path case consistent.

21444f1805 Add case insensitivity support when using git ls-files
When mydir/filea.txt is added, mydir/ is renamed to MyDir/, and
MyDir/fileb.txt is added, running git ls-files mydir only shows
mydir/filea.txt. Running git ls-files MyDir shows MyDir/fileb.txt.
Running git ls-files mYdIR shows nothing.

With this patch running git ls-files for mydir, MyDir, and mYdIR shows
mydir/filea.txt and MyDir/fileb.txt.

Wildcards are not handled case insensitively in this patch. Example:
MyDir/aBc/file.txt is added. git ls-files MyDir/a* works fine, but git
ls-files mydir/a* does not.

5102c6173c Add case insensitivity support for directories when using git status
When using a case preserving but case insensitive file system, directory
case can differ but still refer to the same physical directory.  git
status reports the directory with the alternate case as an Untracked
file.  (That is, when mydir/filea.txt is added to the repository and
then the directory on disk is renamed from mydir/ to MyDir/, git status
shows MyDir/ as being untracked.)

Support has been added in name-hash.c for hashing directories with a
terminating slash into the name hash. When index_name_exists() is called
with a directory (a name with a terminating slash), the name is not
found via the normal cache_name_compare() call, but it is found in the
slow_same_name() function.

Additionally, in dir.c, directory_exists_in_index_icase() allows newly
added directories deeper in the directory chain to be identified.

Ultimately, it would be better if the file list was read in case
insensitive alphabetical order from disk, but this change seems to
suffice for now.

The end result is the directory is looked up in a case insensitive
manner and does not show in the Untracked files list.

10d4b02b99 Case insensitivity support for .gitignore via core.ignorecase
This is especially beneficial when using Windows and Perforce and the
git-p4 bridge. Internally, Perforce preserves a given file's full path
including its case at the time it was added to the Perforce repository.
When syncing a file down via Perforce, missing directories are created,
if necessary, using the case as stored with the filename. Unfortunately,
two files in the same directory can have differing cases for their
respective paths, such as /diRa/file1.c and /DirA/file2.c. Depending on
sync order, DirA/ may get created instead of diRa/.

It is possible to handle directory names in a case insensitive manner
without this patch, but it is highly inconvenient, requiring each
character to be specified like so: [Bb][Uu][Ii][Ll][Dd]. With this patch, the
gitignore exclusions honor the core.ignorecase=true configuration
setting and make the process less error prone. The above is specified
like so: Build
