Some callers may find it useful if "git describe" always gave back a
string that can be used as a shorter name for a commit object, rather than
checking its exit status (while squelching its error message, which could
potentially talk about more grave errors that should not be squelched) and
implementing a fallback themselves.
This teaches describe/name-rev a new option, --always, to use an
abbreviated object name when no tags or refs to use is found.

If the situation is the following on the remote and L is the common
base between both sides:
T - tag1 S - tag2
/ /
L - A - O - O - B
\ \
origin/master master
and we have decided to fetch "master" to acquire the range L..B we
can also nab tag S at the same time during the first connection,
as we can clearly see from the refs advertised by upload-pack that
S^{} = B and master = B.
Unfortunately we still cannot nab T at the same time as we are not
able to see that T^{} will also be in the range implied by L..B.
Such computations must be performed on the remote side (not yet
supported) or on the client side as post-processing (the current
behavior).
This optimization is an extension of the previous one in that it
helps on projects which tend to publish both a new commit and a
new tag, then lay idle for a while before publishing anything else.
Most followers are able to download both the new commit and the new
tag in one connection, rather than two. git.git tends to follow
such patterns with its roughly once-daily updates from Junio.
A protocol extension and additional server side logic would be
necessary to also ensure T is grabbed on the first connection.

If autofollowing of tags is enabled, we see a new tag on the remote
that we don't have, and we already have the SHA-1 object that the
tag is peeled to, then we can fetch the tag while we are fetching
the other objects on the first connection.
This is a slight optimization for projects that have a habit of
tagging a release commit after most users have already seen and
downloaded that commit object through a prior fetch session. In
such cases the users may still find new objects in branch heads,
but the new tag will now also be part of the first pack transfer
and the subsequent connection to autofollow tags is not required.
Currently git.git does not benefit from this optimization as any
release usually gets a new commit at the same time that it gets a
new release tag, however git-gui.git and many other projects are
in the habit of tagging fairly old commits.
Users who did not already have the tagged commit still require
opening a second connection to autofollow the tag, as we are unable
to determine on the client side if $tag^{} will be sent to the
client during the first transfer or not. Such computation must be
performed on the remote side of the connection and is deferred to
another series of changes.

The previous code mistakenly used wt_status_prepare to check whether the
index had anything commitable in it; however, that function is just an
init function, and will never report a dirty index.
The correct way with wt_status_* would be to call wt_status_print with the
output pointing to /dev/null or similar. However, that does extra work by
both examining the working tree and spewing status information to nowhere.
Instead, let's just implement the useful subset of wt_status_print as an
"is_index_dirty" function.

When we expect a git command to notice and signal errors, we
carelessly wrote in our tests:
test_expect_success 'reject bogus request' '
do something &&
do something else &&
! git command
'
but a non-zero exit could come from the "git command" segfaulting.
A new helper function "tset_must_fail" is introduced and it is
meant to be used to make sure the command gracefully fails (iow,
dying and exiting with non zero status is counted as a failure
to "gracefully fail"). The above example should be written as:
test_expect_success 'reject bogus request' '
do something &&
do something else &&

Previously we passed the arguments indicating what commits the user
wants to view through git rev-parse to get a list of IDs (positive and
negative), then gave that to git log. This had a couple of problems,
notably that --merge and --left-right didn't get handled properly.
Instead we now just pass the original arguments to git log. When doing
an update, we append --not followed by the list of commits we have seen
that have no children, since we have got (or will get) their ancestors
from the first git log. If the first git log isn't finished yet, we
might get some duplicates from the second git log, but that doesn't
cause any problem.
Also get rid of the unused vnextroot variable.

Occasionally the target row stuff would scroll the display to some
uninteresting commit while reading. There were two problems: one
was that drawvisible would set targetrow even if there was no target
previously and no row selected, and the other was that it was possible
for the target row to get pushed down past numcommits, if drawvisible
was called after rows were added but before layoutmore got run.
The first problem is fixed by just not setting targetrow/id unless
there is a selected row or they were set previously.
The second problem is fixed by updating numcommits immediately new
rows are added. This leads to a simplification of layoutmore and
chewcommits but also means that some of the things that were done in
layoutmore now need to be done elsewhere, since layoutmore can no
longer use numcommits to know how much it has seen previously.
Hence the changes to getcommits, initlayout and setcanvscroll.

Ping Yin noticed that "git diff-index --raw" shows 0{40} when work tree
has submodule difference, but "git diff --raw" didn't correctly do so.
There was a mistake in the diffcore_skip_stat_unmatch() that was meant to
clean up the stat-only difference for running diff between the index and
work tree and diff between the tree and the work tree, to cause it re-read
from the submodule repository HEAD. When ce_stat_match() says work tree
is different, we should always say 0{40} on the work tree side.
This patch fixes the issue, and adds tests.

Now find_unique_abbrev() never returns NULL, there is no need for callers
to prepare for seeing NULL and fall back to giving the full 40-hexdigits.
While we are at it, drop "..." in the "git reset" output that reports the
location of the new HEAD, between the abbreviated commit object name and
the one line commit summary. Because we are always showing the HEAD
(which cannot be missing!), we never had a case where we show the full 40
hexdigits that is not followed by three dots, and these three dots were
stealing 3 columns from the precious horizontal screen real estate out of
80 that can better be used for the one line commit summary.

The function returned NULL when no object that matches the name
was found, but that made the callers more complicated, as nobody
used that NULL return as an indication that no object with such
a name exists. They (at least the careful ones) instead took
the full 40-hexdigit and used in such a case, and the careless
ones segfaulted.
With this "git rev-parse --short 5555555555555555555555555555555555555555"
would stop segfaulting.
This is based on Jeff King's rewrite to my RFC patch, but "missing"
logic swapped to "exists". The final logic reads:
For existing objects, make sure the abbreviated string uniquely
identifies it. Otherwise, make sure the abbreviated string is
long enough so that it would not name any existing object.
