0b8b25f610 t1000: modernize style
The preferred style in tests is:

    test_expect_success 'short description then sq to open the body' '
	    here comes the test &&
	    and chains over many lines &&
	    with closing sq on its own line
    '

7675c7bd01 t7810: avoid assumption about invalid regex syntax
A few of the tests want to check that "git grep -P -E" will
override -P with -E, and vice versa. To do so, we use a
regex with "\x{..}", which is valid in PCRE but not defined
by POSIX (for basic or extended regular expressions).

However, POSIX declares quite a lot of syntax, including
"\x", as "undefined". That leaves implementations free to
extend the standard if they choose. At least one, musl libc,
implements "\x" in the same way as PCRE.  Our tests check
that "-E" complains about "\x", which fails with musl.

We can fix this by finding some construct which behaves
reliably on both PCRE and POSIX, but differently in each
system.

One such construct is the use of backslash inside brackets.
In PCRE, "[\d]" interprets "\d" as it would outside the
brackets, matching a digit. Whereas in POSIX, the backslash
must be treated literally, and we match either it or a
literal "d".  Moreover, implementations are not free to
change this according to POSIX, so we should be able to rely
on it.

d0e0cfe745 mergetool: fix running in subdir when rerere enabled
"git mergetool" (without any pathspec on the command line) that is
not run from the top-level of the working tree no longer works in
Git v2.11, failing to get the list of unmerged paths from the output
of "git rerere remaining".  This regression was introduced by
57937f70a0 ("mergetool: honor diff.orderFile", 2016-10-07).

This is because the pathnames output by the 'git rerere remaining'
command are relative to the top-level directory but the 'git diff
--name-only' command expects its pathname arguments to be relative
to the current working directory.  To make everything consistent,
cd_to_toplevel before running 'git diff --name-only' and adjust any
relative pathnames.

3a42980f9e ref-filter: Do not abruptly die when using the 'lstrip=<N>' option
Currently when we use the 'lstrip=<N>' option, if 'N' is greater than
the number of components available in the refname, we abruptly end
program execution by calling die().

This behavior is undesired since a single refname with few components
could end program execution. To avoid this, return an empty string
whenever the value 'N' is greater than the number of components
available, instead of calling die().

Since there are multiple atoms which print refs ('%(refname)',
'%(symref)', '%(push)', '%(upstream)'), it makes sense to have a common
ground for parsing them. This would allow us to share implementations of

Introduce refname_atom_parser_internal() to act as a common parsing
function for ref printing atoms. This would eventually be used to
introduce refname_atom_parser() and symref_atom_parser() and also be
internally used in remote_ref_atom_parser().

Implement %(if:equals=<string>) wherein the if condition is only

Similarly, implement (if:notequals=<string>) wherein the if condition

This is done by introducing 'if_atom_parser()' which parses the given

on to the used_atom of the %(then) atom, so that it can do the required
comparisons.

30ac275b1c unpack-trees: move checkout state into check_updates
The checkout state was introduced via 16da134b1f
(read-trees: refactor the unpack_trees() part, 2006-07-30). An attempt to
refactor the checkout state was done in b56aa5b268 (unpack-trees: pass
checkout state explicitly to check_updates(), 2016-09-13), but we can
go even further.

The `struct checkout state` is not used in unpack_trees apart from
initializing it, so move it into the function that makes use of it,
which is `check_updates`.

314caebe21 .mailmap: record canonical email for Richard Hansen
When I changed employers my work address changed from rhansen@bbn.com
to hansenr@google.com.  Rather than map my old work address to my new,
map them both to my permanent personal email address.  (I will still
use my work address in commits I submit so that my employer gets some
credit.)

2d81c48fa7 pathspec: give better message for submodule related pathspec error
Every once in a while someone complains to the mailing list to have
run into this weird assertion[1]. The usual response from the mailing
list is link to old discussions[2], and acknowledging the problem
stating it is known.

This patch accomplishes two things:

  1. Switch assert() to die("BUG") to give a more readable message.

  2. Take one of the cases where we hit a BUG and turn it into a normal
     "there was something wrong with the input" message.

     This assertion triggered for cases where there wasn't a programming
     bug, but just bogus input. In particular, if the user asks for a
     pathspec that is inside a submodule, we shouldn't assert() or
     die("BUG"); we should tell the user their request is bogus.

     The only reason we did not check for it, is the expensive nature
     of such a check, so callers avoid setting the flag
     PATHSPEC_STRIP_SUBMODULE_SLASH_EXPENSIVE. However when we die due
     to bogus input, the expense of CPU cycles spent outweighs the user
     wondering what went wrong, so run that check unconditionally before
     dying with a more generic error message.

Note: There is a case (e.g. "git -C submodule add .") in which we call
strip_submodule_slash_expensive, as git-add requests it via the flag
PATHSPEC_STRIP_SUBMODULE_SLASH_EXPENSIVE, but the assert used to
trigger nevertheless, because the flag PATHSPEC_LITERAL was not set,
such that we executed

	if (item->nowildcard_len < prefixlen)
		item->nowildcard_len = prefixlen;

and prefixlen was not adapted (e.g. it was computed from "submodule/")
So in the die_inside_submodule_path function we also need handle paths,
that were stripped before, i.e. are the exact submodule path. This
is why the conditions in die_inside_submodule_path are slightly
different than in strip_submodule_slash_expensive.
