setup_git_directory_gently() expects two types of failures to
discover a git directory (e.g. .git/):
- GIT_DIR_HIT_CEILING: could not find a git directory in any
parent directories of the cwd.
- GIT_DIR_HIT_MOUNT_POINT: could not find a git directory in
any parent directories up to the mount point of the cwd.
Both cases are handled in a similar way, but there are misleading
and unimportant differences. In both cases, setup_git_directory_gently()
should:
- Die if we are not in a git repository. Otherwise:
- Set nongit_ok = 1, indicating that we are not in a git repository
but this is ok.
- Call strbuf_release() on any non-static struct strbufs that we
allocated.
Before this change are two misleading additional behaviors:
- GIT_DIR_HIT_CEILING: setup_nongit() changes to the cwd for no
apparent reason. We never had the chance to change directories
up to this point so chdir(current cwd) is pointless.
- GIT_DIR_HIT_MOUNT_POINT: strbuf_release() frees the buffer
of a static struct strbuf (cwd). This is unnecessary because the
struct is static so its buffer is always reachable. This is also
misleading because nowhere else in the function is this buffer
released.
This change eliminates these two misleading additional behaviors and
deletes setup_nogit() because the code is clearer without it. The
result is that we can see clearly that GIT_DIR_HIT_CEILING and
GIT_DIR_HIT_MOUNT_POINT lead to the same behavior (ignoring the
different help messages).
During review, this change was amended to additionally include:
- Neither GIT_DIR_HIT_CEILING nor GIT_DIR_HIT_MOUNT_POINT may
return early from setup_git_directory_gently() before the
GIT_PREFIX environment variable is reset. Change both cases to
break instead of return. See GIT_PREFIX below for more details.
- GIT_DIR_NONE: setup_git_directory_gently_1() never returns this
value, but if it ever did, setup_git_directory_gently() would
incorrectly record that it had found a repository. Explicitly
BUG on this case because it is underspecified.
- GIT_PREFIX: this environment variable must always match the
value of startup_info->prefix and the prefix returned from
setup_git_directory_gently(). Make how we handle this slightly
more repetitive but also more clear.
- setup_git_env() and repo_set_hash_algo(): Add comments showing
that only GIT_DIR_EXPLICIT, GIT_DIR_DISCOVERED, and GIT_DIR_BARE
will cause setup_git_directory_gently() to call these setup
functions. This was obvious (but partly incorrect) before this
change when GIT_DIR_HIT_MOUNT_POINT returned early from
setup_git_directory_gently().

help -a: handle aliases with long names gracefully
help.h: fix coding style
The new test_oid machinery in the test library requires reading
some information from t/oid-info/hash-info and t/oid-info/oid.
The logic to read from these files in shell uses built-in "read"
command, which leaves CR at the end of these text files when they
are checked out with CRLF line endings, at least when run with bash
shipped with Git for Windows. This results in an unexpected value
in the variable these lines are read into, leading the tests to
fail.
Mark them to be checked out always with the LF line endings.

The oneline notwithstanding, 13374987dd (completion: use _gitcompbuiltin
for format-patch, 2018-11-03) changed also the way send-email options
are completed, by asking the git send-email command itself what options
it offers.
Necessarily, this must fail when built with NO_PERL because send-email
itself is a Perl script. Which means that we need the PERL prerequisite
for the send-email test case in t9902.

The compiler reports this because show_gitcomp() never actually
returns a value:
"parse-options.c", line 520: warning: Function has no return
statement : show_gitcomp
We could shut the compiler up. But instead let's not bury exit() too
deep. Do the same as internal -h handling, return a special error code
and handle the exit() in parse_options() (and other
parse_options_step() callers) instead.

We take pains to determine the longest command beforehand, so that we
can align the category column after printing the command names.
However, then we re-use that value when printing the aliases. If any
alias name is longer than the longest command name, we consequently try
to add a negative number of spaces (but `mput_char()` does not expect
any negative values and simply decrements until the value is 0, i.e.
it tries to add close to 2**31 spaces).
Let's fix this by adjusting the `longest` variable before printing the
aliases.

In 321fd823 ("run-command: mark path lookup errors with ENOENT",
2018-10-24), we rewrote the logic to execute a command by looking
in the directories on $PATH; as a side effect, a request to run a
command that is not found on $PATH is noticed even before a child
process is forked to execute it.
We however stopped to report an exec failure in such a case by
mistake. Add a logic to report the error unless silent-exec-failure
is requested, to match the original code.

The text body of section Behavioral Differences is typeset as code,
but should be regular text. Remove the indentation to achieve that.

Commit d8981c3f88 ("format-patch: do not let its diff-options affect
--range-diff", 2018-11-30) taught `show_range_diff()` to accept a
NULL-pointer as an indication that it should use its own "reasonable
default". That fixed a regression from a5170794 ("Merge branch
'ab/range-diff-no-patch'", 2018-11-18), but unfortunately it introduced
a regression of its own.
In particular, it means we forget the `file` member of the diff options,
so rather than placing a range-diff in the cover-letter, we write it to
stdout. In order to fix this, rewrite the two callers adjusted by
d8981c3f88 to instead create a "dummy" set of diff options where they
only fill in the fields we absolutely require, such as output file and
color.
Modify and extend the existing tests to try and verify that the right
contents end up in the right place.
Don't revert `show_range_diff()`, i.e., let it keep accepting NULL.
Rather than removing what is dead code and figuring out it isn't
actually dead and we've broken 2.20, just leave it for now.
