When a single argument was a non-commit, the error message used to be:
fatal: BUG: expected exactly one commit from walk
For multiple arguments, when none of the arguments was a commit, the error was:
fatal: empty commit set passed
Finally, when some of the arguments were non-commits, we ignored those
arguments. Fix this bug and make sure all arguments are commits, and
for the first non-commit, error out with:
fatal: <name>: Can't cherry-pick a <type>

If there's already a remote-helper tracking ref, we can fetch the SHA-1
to report proper push messages (as opposed to always reporting
[new branch]).
The remote-helper currently can specify the old SHA-1 to avoid this
problem, but there's no point in forcing all remote-helpers to be aware
of git commit ids; they should be able to be agnostic of them.

When we try to read from a remote-helper and get EOF or an
error, we print a message indicating that the helper died.
However, users may not know that a remote helper was in use
(e.g., when using git-over-http), or even what a remote
helper is.
Let's print the name of the helper (e.g., "git-remote-https");
this makes it more obvious what the program is for, and
provides a useful token for reporting bugs or searching for
more information (e.g., in manpages).

If a push fails because the remote-helper died (with fast-export),
the user may not see any error message. We do correctly die with a
failed exit code, as we notice that the helper has died while
reading back the ref status from the helper. However, we don't print
any message. This is OK if the helper itself printed a useful error
message, but we cannot count on that; let's let the user know that
the helper failed.
In the long run, it may make more sense to propagate the error back
up to push, so that it can present the usual status table and give a
nicer message. But this is a much simpler fix that can help
immediately.
While we're adding tests, let's also confirm that the remote-helper
dying is also detected when importing refs. We currently do so
robustly when the helper uses the "done" feature (and that is what
we test). We cannot do so reliably when the helper does not use the
"done" feature, but it is not even worth testing; the right solution
is for the helper to start using "done".

The examples in the documentation are all for Apache. Let's
at least cover the basics: an anonymous server, an
authenticated server, and a "half auth" server with
anonymous read and authenticated write.
Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net>
Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
When the http-backend is set up to allow anonymous read but
authenticated write, the http-backend manual suggests
catching only the "/git-receive-pack" POST of the packfile,
not the initial "info/refs?service=git-receive-pack" GET in
which we advertise refs.
This does work and is secure, as we do not allow any write
during the info/refs request, and the information in the ref
advertisement is the same that you would get from a fetch.
However, the configuration required by the server is
slightly more complex. The default `http.receivepack`
setting is to allow pushes if the webserver tells us that
the user authenticated, and otherwise to return a 403
("Forbidden"). That works fine if authentication is turned
on completely; the initial request requires authentication,
and http-backend realizes it is OK to do a push.
But for this "half-auth" state, no authentication has
occurred during the initial ref advertisement. The
http-backend CGI therefore does not think that pushing
should be enabled, and responds with a 403. The client
cannot continue, even though the server would have allowed
it to run if it had provided credentials.
It would be much better if the server responded with a 401,
asking for credentials during the initial contact. But
git-http-backend does not know about the server's auth
configuration (so a 401 would be confusing in the case of a
true anonymous server). Unfortunately, configuring Apache to
recognize the query string and apply the auth appropriately
to receive-pack (but not upload-pack) initial requests is
non-trivial.
The site admin can work around this by just turning on
http.receivepack explicitly in its repositories. Let's
document this workaround.

Humanization of downloaded size is done in the same function as text
formatting in 'process.c'. The code cannot be reused easily elsewhere.
Separate text formatting from size simplification and make the
function public in strbuf so that it can easily be used by other
callers.
We now can use strbuf_humanise_bytes() for both downloaded size and
download speed calculation. One of the drawbacks is that speed will
now look like this when download is stalled: "0 bytes/s" instead of
"0 KiB/s".

Do not report that an argument to clone's --reference option is not a
local directory. Nothing checks for the existence or type of the path
as supplied by the user; checks are only done for particular contents of
the supposed directory, so we have no way to know the status of the
supplied path. Telling the user that a directory doesn't exist when
that isn't actually known may lead him or her on the wrong path to
finding the problem.
Instead just state that the entered path is not a local repository which
is really all that is known about it. It could be more helpful to state
the actual paths which were checked, but I believe that giving a good
description of that would be too verbose for a simple error message and
would be too dependent on implementation details.

While explicitly stating that the commit message in a prerequisite
line is optional, we required all lines with 40 or more characters
to contain a space after the object name, bailing out if a line
consisted of an object name only. This was to allow bundling a
history to a commit without an message, but the code forgot that it
already called rtrim() to remove that whitespace.
As a workaround, only check for SP when the line has more than 40
