Once upon a time, dumb http always fetched .idx files
directly into their final location, and then checked their
validity with parse_pack_index. This was refactored in
commit 750ef42 (http-fetch: Use temporary files for
pack-*.idx until verified, 2010-04-19), which uses the
following logic:
1. If we have the idx already in place, see if it's
valid (using parse_pack_index). If so, use it.
2. Otherwise, fetch the .idx to a tempfile, check
that, and if so move it into place.
3. Either way, fetch the pack itself if necessary.
However, it got step 1 wrong. We pass a NULL path parameter
to parse_pack_index, so an existing .idx file always looks
broken. Worse, we do not treat this broken .idx as an
opportunity to re-fetch, but instead return an error,
ignoring the pack entirely. This can lead to a dumb-http
fetch failing to retrieve the necessary objects.
This doesn't come up much in practice, because it must be a
packfile that we found out about (and whose .idx we stored)
during an earlier dumb-http fetch, but whose packfile we
_didn't_ fetch. I.e., we did a partial clone of a
repository, didn't need some packfiles, and now a followup
fetch needs them.

If an --author argument is specified but does not contain a '>' then git tries
to find the argument within the existing authors; and gives the error
message "No existing author found with '%s'" if there is no match.
This is confusing for users who try to specify a valid complete author
name.
Rename the error message to make it clearer that the failure has two
reasons in this case.
(This codepath is touched only when we know already that the argument
cannot be a completely wellformed author ident.)

4fe10219 (rev-list: add --indexed-objects option, 2014-10-16) adds
"--indexed-objects" option to "rev-list", and it is only useful in
the context of "git rev-list" and not "git log". There are other
object traversal options that do not make sense for "git log" that
are shown in the manual page.
Move the description of "--indexed-objects" to the object traversal
section so that it sits together with its friends "--objects",
"--objects-edge", etc. and then show them only in "git rev-list"
documentation.

The list_and_choose() helper is given a prompt and a list, asks the
user to make selection from the list, and then returns a list of
items chosen. Even when it is given an empty list as the original
candidate set to choose from, it gave a prompt to the user, who can
only say "I am done choosing".
Return an empty result when the input is an empty list without
bothering the user. The existing caller must already have a logic
to say "Nothing to do" or an equivalent when the returned list is
empty (i.e. the user chose to select nothing) if it is necessary, so
no change to the callers is necessary.
This fixes the case where "add untracked" is asked in "git add -i"
and there is no untracked files in the working tree. We used to give
an empty list of files to choose from with a prompt, but with this
change, we no longer do.

When the incoming patch has whitespace errors in a common context
line (i.e. a line that is expected to be found and is not modified
by the patch), "apply --whitespace=fix" corrects the whitespace
errors the line has, in addition to the whitespace error on a line
that is updated by the patch. However, we did not count and report
that we fixed whitespace errors on such lines.
[jc: This is iffy. What if the whitespace error has been fixed in
the target since the patch was written? A common context line we
see in the patch has errors, and it matches a line in the target
that has the errors already corrected, resulting in no change, which
we may not want to count after all. On the other hand, we are
reporting whitespace errors _in_ the incoming patch, so...]

Under --whitespace=fix option, match_fragment() function examines
the preimage (the common context and the removed lines in the patch)
and the file being patched and checks if they match after correcting
all whitespace errors. When they are found to match, the common
context lines in the preimage is replaced with the fixed copy,
because these lines will then be copied to the corresponding place
in the postimage by a later call to update_pre_post_images(). Lines
that are added in the postimage, under --whitespace=fix, have their
whitespace errors already fixed when apply_one_fragment() prepares
the preimage and the postimage, so in the end, application of the
patch can be done by replacing the block of text in the file being
patched that matched the preimage with what is in the postimage that
was updated by update_pre_post_images().
In the earlier days, fixing whitespace errors always resulted in
reduction of size, either collapsing runs of spaces in the indent to
a tab or removing the trailing whitespaces. These days, however,
some whitespace error fix results in extending the size.
250b3c6c (apply --whitespace=fix: avoid running over the postimage
buffer, 2013-03-22) tried to compute the final postimage size but
its math was flawed. It counted the size of the block of text in
the original being patched after fixing the whitespace errors on its
lines that correspond to the preimage. That number does not have
much to do with how big the final postimage would be.
Instead count (1) the added lines in the postimage, whose size is
the same as in the final patch result because their whitespace
errors have already been corrected, and (2) the fixed size of the
lines that are common.

"git apply --whitespace=fix" used to be able to assume that fixing
errors will always reduce the size by e.g. stripping whitespaces at
the end of lines or collapsing runs of spaces into tabs at the
beginning of lines. An update to accomodate fixes that lengthens
the result by e.g. expanding leading tabs into spaces were made long
time ago but the logic miscounted the necessary space after such
whitespace fixes, leading to either under-allocation or over-usage
of already allocated space.
Illustrate this with a runtime sanity-check to protect us from
future breakage. The test was stolen from Kyle McKay who helped
to identify the problem.

In earlier days, the abbreviated commit object name shown to the end
users were generated with hardcoded --abbrev=7; 56895038 (rebase
-i: respect core.abbrev, 2013-09-28) tried to make it honor the user
specified core.abbrev, but it missed the very initial invocation of
the editor.
These days, we try to use the full 40-hex object names internally to
avoid ambiguity that can arise after rebase starts running. Newly
created objects during the rebase may share the same prefix with
existing commits listed in the insn sheet. These object names are
shortened just before invoking the sequence editor to present the
insn sheet to the end user, and then expanded back to full object
names when the editor returns.
But the code still used the shortened names when preparing the insn
sheet for the very first time, resulting "7 hexdigits or more"
output to the user. Change the code to use full 40-hex commit
object names from the very beginning to make things more uniform.

A typical remote helper will return a `list` of refs containing a symbolic
ref HEAD, pointing to, e.g. refs/heads/master. In the case of a clone, all
the refs are being requested through `fetch` or `import`, including the
symbolic ref.
While this works properly, in some cases of a fetch, like `git fetch url`
or `git fetch origin HEAD`, or any fetch command involving a symbolic ref
without also fetching the corresponding ref it points to, the fetch command
fails with:
fatal: bad object 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000
error: <remote> did not send all necessary objects
(in the case the remote helper returned '?' values to the `list` command).
This is because there is only one ref given to fetch(), and it's not
further resolved to something at the end of fetch_with_import().
While this can be somehow handled in the remote helper itself, by adding
a refspec for the symbolic ref, and storing an explicit ref in a private
namespace, and then handling the `import` for that symbolic ref
specifically, very few existing remote helpers are actually doing that.
So, instead of requesting the exact list of wanted refs to remote helpers,
treat symbolic refs differently and request the ref they point to instead.
Then, resolve the symbolic refs values based on the pointed ref.
This assumes there is no more than one level of indirection (a symbolic
ref doesn't point to another symbolic ref).

The description of strbuf_split_buf says most of what
needs to be said for all of the split variants that take
strings, raw memory, etc. We have a boilerplate comment
above each that points to the first. This boilerplate
ends up making it harder to read, because it spaces out the
functions, which could otherwise be read as a group.
Let's drop the boilerplate completely, and mention the
variants in the top comment. This is perhaps slightly worse
for a hypothetical system which pulls the documentation for
each function out of the comment immediately preceding it.
But such a system does not yet exist, and anyway, the end
result of extracting the boilerplate comments would not lead
to a very easy-to-read result. We would do better in the
long run to teach the extraction system about groups of
related functions.
