Reverse blame can be used to locate removal of lines which does not
change adjacent lines. Such edits do not appear in non-reverse blame,
because the adjacent lines last changed commit is older history, before
the edit.
For a big and active project which uses topic branches, or analogous
feature, for example pull-requests, the history can contain many
concurrent branches, and even after an edit merged into the target
branch, there are still many (sometimes several tens or even hundreds)
topic branch which do not contain it:
a0--a1-----*a2-*a3-a4...-*a100
|\ / / /
| b0-B1..bN / /
|\ / /
| c0.. ..cN /
\ /
z0.. ..zN
Here, the '*'s mark the first parent in merge, and uppercase B1 - the
commit where the line being blamed for was removed. Since commits cN-zN
do not contain B1, they still have the line removed in B1, and
reverse blame can report that the last commit for the line was zN
(meaning that it was removed in a100). In fact it really does return
some very late commit, and this makes it unusable for finding the B1
commit.
The search could be done by blame --reverse --first-parent. For range
a0..a100 it would return a1, and then only one additional blame along
the a0..bN will return the desired commit b0. But combining --reverse
and --first-parent was forbidden in 95a4fb0eac, because incorrectly
specified range could produce unexpected and meaningless result.
Add test which describes the expected behavior of
`blame --reverse --first-parent` in the case described above.

In ref-filter.c the comparison of refs while sorting is handled by
cmp_ref_sorting() function. When sorting as per numerical values
(e.g. --sort=objectsize) there is no fallback comparison when both
refs hold the same value. This can cause unexpected results (i.e. the
order of listing refs with equal values cannot be pre-determined) as
pointed out by Johannes Sixt ($gmane/280117).
Hence, fallback to alphabetical comparison based on the refname
whenever the other criterion is equal.
A test in t3203 was expecting that branch-two sorts before HEAD, which
happened to be how qsort(3) on Linux sorted the array, but (1) that
outcome was not even guaranteed, and (2) once we start breaking ties
with the refname, "HEAD" should sort before "branch-two" so the
original expectation was inconsistent with the criterion we now use.
Update it to match the new world order, which we can now depend on
being stable.

The commit d99b4b0de2 ("gitk: Accelerators for the main menu")
modified the menu item strings with the accelerator, but the
translations didn't follow, thus the menus are shown without
translations.
This patch systematically update the msgid keys just to follow this
change. The contents aren't changed, so the accelerator won't work in

The name-hash subsystem that is used to cope with case insensitive
filesystems keeps track of directories and their on-filesystem
cases for all the paths in the index by holding a pointer to a
randomly chosen cache entry that is inside the directory (for its
ce->ce_name component). This pointer was not updated even when the
cache entry was removed from the index, leading to use after free.
This was fixed by recording the path for each directory instead of
borrowing cache entries and restructuring the API somewhat.

The caller is preparing a narrowed-down copy of the working tree and
this function is asked if the path should be included in that copy.
If we say yes, the path from the working tree will be either symlinked
or copied into the narrowed-down copy.
For any path that is a symbolic link, the caller later fixes up the
narrowed-down copy by unlinking the path and replacing it with a
regular file it writes out that mimics the way how "git diff"
compares symbolic links.
Let's answer "no, you do not want to copy/symlink the working tree
file" for all symbolic links from this function, as we know the
result will not be used because it will be overwritten anyway.
Incidentally, this also stops the function from feeding a symbolic
link in the working tree to hash-object, which is a wrong thing to
do to begin with. The link may be pointing at a directory, or worse
may be dangling (both would be noticed as an error). Even if the
link points at a regular file, hashing the contents of a file that
is pointed at by the link is not correct (Git hashes the contents of
the link itself, not the pointee).

Git-merge-file is documented to return one of three exit
codes:
- zero means the merge was successful
- a negative number means an error occurred
- a positive number indicates the number of conflicts
Unfortunately, this all gets stuffed into an 8-bit return
code. Which means that if you have 256 conflicts, this wraps
to zero, and the merge appears to succeed (and commits a
blob full of conflict-marker cruft!).
This patch clamps the return value to a maximum of 127,
which we should be able to safely represent everywhere. This
also leaves 128-255 for other values. Shells (and some parts
of git) will typically represent signal death as 128 plus
the signal number. And negative values are typically coerced
to an 8-bit unsigned value (so "return -1" ends up as 255).
Technically negative returns have the same problem (e.g.,
"-256" wraps back to 0), but this is not a problem in
practice, as the only negative value we use is "-1".

Editors on Windows can and do save text files with CRLF line
endings, which is the convention on the platform. We are seeing
reports that the "read" command in a port of bash to the environment
however does not strip the CRLF at the end, not adjusting for the
same convention on the platform.
This breaks the recently added sanity checks for the insn sheet fed
to "rebase -i"; instead of an empty line (hence nothing in $command),
the script was getting a lone CR in there.
Special case a lone CR and treat it the same way as an empty line to
work this around.
This patch (also) passes the test with Git for Windows, where the
issue was seen first.

The add_submodule_odb function tries to add a submodule's
object store as an "alternate". It needs the existing list
to be initialized (from the objects/info/alternates file)
for two reasons:
1. We look for duplicates with the existing alternate
stores, but obviously this doesn't work if we haven't
loaded any yet.
2. We link our new entry into the list by prepending it to
alt_odb_list. But we do _not_ modify alt_odb_tail.
This variable starts as NULL, and is a signal to the
alt_odb code that the list has not yet been
initialized.
We then call read_info_alternates on the submodule (to
recursively load its alternates), which will try to
append to that tail, assuming it has been initialized.
This causes us to segfault if it is NULL.
This rarely comes up in practice, because we will have
initialized the alt_odb any time we do an object lookup. So
you can trigger this only when:
- you try to access a submodule (e.g., a diff with
diff.submodule=log)
- the access happens before any other object has been
accessed (e.g., because the diff is between the working
tree and the index)
- the submodule contains an alternates file (so we try to
add an entry to the NULL alt_odb_tail)
To fix this, we just need to call prepare_alt_odb at the
start of the function (and if we have already initialized,
it is a noop).
Note that we can remove the prepare_alt_odb call from the
end. It is guaranteed to be a noop, since we will have
called it earlier.

If one side deletes a file and the other changes its
content, we notice and report a conflict. However, if
instead of changing the content, we change only the mode,
the merge does not notice (and the mode change is silently
dropped).
The trivial index merge notices the problem and correctly
leaves the conflict in the index, but both merge-recursive
and merge-one-file will silently resolve this in favor of
the deletion. In many cases that is a sane resolution, but
we should be punting to the user whenever there is any
question. So let's detect and treat this as a conflict (in
both strategies).
