2d8a7f0b30 branch: show upstream branch when double verbose
This information is easily accessible when we are
calculating the relationship. The only reason not to print
it all the time is that it consumes a fair bit of screen
space, and may not be of interest to the user.

cbdffe4093 check_ref_format(): tighten refname rules
This changes the rules for refnames to forbid:

 (1) a refname that contains "@{" in it.

     Some people and foreign SCM converter may have named their branches
     as frotz@24 and we still want to keep supporting it.

     However, "git branch frotz@{24}" is a disaster.  It cannot even
     checked out because "git checkout frotz@{24}" will interpret it as
     "detach the HEAD at twenty-fourth reflog entry of the frotz branch".

 (2) a refname that ends with a dot.

     We already reject a path component that begins with a dot, primarily
     to avoid ambiguous range interpretation.  If we allowed ".B" as a
     valid ref, it is unclear if "A...B" means "in dot-B but not in A" or
     "either in A or B but not in both".

     But for this to be complete, we need also to forbid "A." to avoid "in
     B but not in A-dot".  This was not a problem in the original range
     notation, but we should have added this restriction when three-dot
     notation was introduced.

     Unlike "no dot at the beginning of any path component" rule, this
     rule does not have to be "no dot at the end of any path component",
     because you cannot abbreviate the tail end away, similar to you can
     say "dot-B" to mean "refs/heads/dot-B".

For these reasons, it is not likely people created branches with these
names on purpose, but we have allowed such names to be used for quite some
time, and it is possible that people created such branches by mistake or
by accident.

To help people with branches with such unfortunate names to recover,
we still allow "branch -d 'bad.'" to delete such branches, and also allow
"branch -m bad. good" to rename them.

431b1969fc Rename interpret/substitute nth_last_branch functions
These allow you to say "git checkout @{-2}" to switch to the branch two
"branch switching" ago by pretending as if you typed the name of that
branch.  As it is likely that we will be introducing more short-hands to
write the name of a branch without writing it explicitly, rename the
functions from "nth_last_branch" to more generic "branch_name", to prepare
for different semantics.

209d336ae3 builtin-branch: improve output when displaying remote branches
When encountering a symref (typically refs/remotes/<remote>/HEAD),
display the ref target.

When displaying local and remote branches, prefix the remote branch
names with "remotes/" to make the remote branches clear from the local
branches. If displaying only the remote branches, the prefix is not
shown since it would be redundant.

Sample output:

$ git branch
  foo -> master
* master
  rather-long-branch-name

$ git branch -v
  foo                     -> master
* master                  51cecb2 initial
  rather-long-branch-name 51cecb2 initial

$ git branch -v --no-abbrev
  foo                     -> master
* master                  51cecb2dbb1a1902bb4df79b543c8f951ee59d83 initial
  rather-long-branch-name 51cecb2dbb1a1902bb4df79b543c8f951ee59d83 initial

$ git branch -r
  frotz/HEAD -> frotz/master
  frotz/master

68067ca1ef builtin-branch.c: optimize --merged and --no-merged
"git branch --no-merged $commit" used to compute the merge base between
the tip of each and every branch with the named $commit, but this was
wasteful when you have many branches.  Inside append_ref() we literally
ran has_commit() between the tip of the branch and the merge_filter_ref.

Instead, we can let the revision machinery traverse the history as if we
are running:

    $ git rev-list --branches --not $commit

by queueing the tips of branches we encounter as positive refs (this
mimicks the "--branches" option in the above command line) and then
appending the merge_filter_ref commit as a negative one, and finally
calling prepare_revision_walk() to limit the list..

After the traversal is done, branch tips that are reachable from $commit
are painted UNINTERESTING; they are already fully contained in $commit
(i.e. --merged).  Tips that are not painted UNINTERESTING still have
commits that are not reachable from $commit, thus "--no-merged" will show
them.

With an artificial repository that has "master" and 1000 test-$i branches
where they were created by "git branch test-$i master~$i":

e8b404c27e git-branch: add support for --merged and --no-merged
These options filter the output from git branch to only include branches
whose tip is either merged or not merged into HEAD.

The use-case for these options is when working with integration of branches
from many remotes: `git branch --no-merged -a` will show a nice list of merge
candidates while `git branch --merged -a` will show the progress of your
integration work.

Also, a plain `git branch --merged` is a quick way to find local branches
which you might want to delete.

8e0f70033b Avoid unnecessary "if-before-free" tests.
This change removes all obvious useless if-before-free tests.
E.g., it replaces code like this:

        if (some_expression)
                free (some_expression);

with the now-equivalent:

        free (some_expression);

It is equivalent not just because POSIX has required free(NULL)
to work for a long time, but simply because it has worked for
so long that no reasonable porting target fails the test.
Here's some evidence from nearly 1.5 years ago:

    http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2006-October/031544.html

FYI, the change below was prepared by running the following:

  git ls-files -z | xargs -0 \
  perl -0x3b -pi -e \
    's/\bif\s*\(\s*(\S+?)(?:\s*!=\s*NULL)?\s*\)\s+(free\s*\(\s*\1\s*\))/$2/s'

Note however, that it doesn't handle brace-enclosed blocks like
"if (x) { free (x); }".  But that's ok, since there were none like
that in git sources.

Beware: if you do use the above snippet, note that it can
produce syntactically invalid C code.  That happens when the
affected "if"-statement has a matching "else".
E.g., it would transform this

  if (x)
    free (x);
  else
    foo ();

into this:

  free (x);
  else
    foo ();

There were none of those here, either.

If you're interested in automating detection of the useless
tests, you might like the useless-if-before-free script in gnulib:
[it *does* detect brace-enclosed free statements, and has a --name=S
 option to make it detect free-like functions with different names]

Addendum:
  Remove one more (in imap-send.c), spotted by Jean-Luc Herren <jlh@gmx.ch>.

9ed36cfa35 branch: optionally setup branch.*.merge from upstream local branches
"git branch" and "git checkout -b" now honor --track option even when
the upstream branch is local.  Previously --track was silently ignored
when forking from a local branch.  Also the command did not error out
when --track was explicitly asked for but the forked point specified
was not an existing branch (i.e. when there is no way to set up the
tracking configuration), but now it correctly does.

The configuration setting branch.autosetupmerge can now be set to
"always", which is equivalent to using --track from the command line.
Setting branch.autosetupmerge to "true" will retain the former behavior
of only setting up branch.*.merge for remote upstream branches.

Includes test cases for the new functionality.

e496c00348 Move create_branch into a library file
You can also create branches, in exactly the same way, with checkout -b.

This introduces branch.{c,h} library files for doing porcelain-level
operations on branches (such as creating them with their appropriate
default configuration).

0f6f5a4022 git config --get-colorbool
This adds an option to help scripts find out color settings from
the configuration file.

    git config --get-colorbool color.diff

inspects color.diff variable, and exits with status 0 (i.e. success) if
color is to be used.  It exits with status 1 otherwise.

If a script wants "true"/"false" answer to the standard output of the
command, it can pass an additional boolean parameter to its command
line, telling if its standard output is a terminal, like this:

    git config --get-colorbool color.diff true

When called like this, the command outputs "true" to its standard output
if color is to be used (i.e. "color.diff" says "always", "auto", or
"true"), and "false" otherwise.

694a577519 git-branch --contains=commit
This teaches git-branch to limit its listing to branches that
are descendants to the named commit.

When you are using many topic branches, you often would want to
see which branch already includes a commit, so that you know
which can and cannot be rewound without disrupting other people.

One thing that sometimes happens to me is:

 * Somebody sends a patch that is a good maint material.  I
   apply it to 'maint':

     $ git checkout maint
     $ git am -3 -s obvious-fix.patch

 * Then somebody else sends another patch that is possibly a
   good maint material, but I'd want to cook it in 'next' to be
   extra sure.  I fork a topic from 'maint' and apply the patch:

     $ git checkout -b xx/maint-fix-foo
     $ git am -3 -s ,xx-maint-fix-foo.patch

 * A minor typo is found in the "obvious-fix.patch".

The above happens without pushing the results out, so I can
freely recover from it by amending 'maint', as long as I do not
forget to rebase the topics that were forked previously.

With this patch, I can do this to find out which topic
branches already contain the faulty commit:

    $ git branch --contains=maint^
      xx/maint-fix-foo

so I can rebase the xx/maint-fix-foo branch before merging it
to 'next'.
