6579d93a97 contrib/credential/netrc: work outside a repo
Currently, git-credential-netrc does not work outside of a git
repository. It fails with the following error:

	fatal: Not a git repository: . at /usr/share/perl5/Git.pm line 214.

There is no real reason why need to be within a repository, though.
Credential helpers should be able to work just fine outside the
repository as well.

Call the non-self version of config() so that git-credential-netrc no
longer needs to be run within a repository.

1c78c78d25 contrib/credential/netrc: make PERL_PATH configurable
The shebang path for the Perl interpreter in git-credential-netrc was
hardcoded. However, some users may have it located at a different
location and thus, would have had to manually edit the script.

Add a .perl prefix to the script to denote it as a template and ignore
the generated version. Augment the Makefile so that it generates
git-credential-netrc from git-credential-netrc.perl, just like other
Perl scripts.

The Makefile recipes were shamelessly stolen from
contrib/mw-to-git/Makefile.

1f0fc1db85 pretty: implement 'reference' format
The standard format for referencing other commits within some projects
(such as git.git) is the reference format. This is described in
Documentation/SubmittingPatches as

	If you want to reference a previous commit in the history of a stable
	branch, use the format "abbreviated hash (subject, date)", like this:

	....
		Commit f86a374 (pack-bitmap.c: fix a memleak, 2015-03-30)
		noticed that ...
	....

Since this format is so commonly used, standardize it as a pretty
format.

The tests that are implemented essentially show that the format-string
does not change in response to various log options. This is useful
because, for future developers, it shows that we've considered the
limitations of the "canned format-string" approach and we are fine with
them.

b19f3fe9dd hex: drop sha1_to_hex()
There's only a single caller left of sha1_to_hex(), since everybody
that has an object name in "unsigned char[]" now uses hash_to_hex()
instead.

This case is in the sha1dc wrapper, where we print a hex sha1 when
we find a collision. This one will always be sha1, regardless of the
current hash algorithm, so we can't use hash_to_hex() here. In
practice we'd probably not be running sha1 at all if it isn't the
current algorithm, but it's possible we might still occasionally
need to compute a sha1 in a post-sha256 world.

Since sha1_to_hex() is just a wrapper for hash_to_hex_algop(), let's
call that ourselves. There's value in getting rid of the sha1-specific
wrapper to de-clutter the global namespace, and to make sure nobody uses
it (and as with sha1_to_hex_r() in the previous patch, we'll drop the
coccinelle transformations, too).

The sha1_to_hex() function is mentioned in a comment; we can easily
swap that out for oid_to_hex() to give a better example.  Also
update the comment that was left stale when we added "struct
object_id *" as a way to name an object and added functions to
convert it to hex.

The function is also mentioned in some test vectors in t4100, but
that's not runnable code, so there's no point in trying to clean it
up.

c1ce9c06d0 completion: learn to complete git rebase --onto=
In 2b9bd488ae ("completion: teach rebase to use __gitcomp_builtin",
2019-09-12), the completion script learned to complete rebase using
__gitcomp_builtin(). However, this resulted in `--onto=` being suggested
instead of `--onto `.

Before, when there was a space, we'd start a new word and, as a result,
fallback to __git_complete_refs() and `--onto` would be completed this
way. However, now we match the `--*` case which does not know how to
offer completions for refs.

Teach _git_rebase() to complete refs in the `--onto=` case so that we
fix this regression.

aa6d7f93ed hex: drop sha1_to_hex_r()
There are no callers left; everybody uses oid_to_hex_r() or
hash_to_hex_algop_r(). This used to actually be the underlying
implementation for oid_to_hex_r(), but that's no longer the case since
47edb64997 (hex: introduce functions to print arbitrary hashes,
2018-11-14).

Let's get rid of it to de-clutter and to make sure nobody uses it.
Likewise we can drop the coccinelle rules that mention it, since the
compiler will make it quite clear that the code does not work.

fe0ed5d5e9 contrib/buildsystems: fix Visual Studio Debug configuration
Even though Debug configuration builds, the resulting build is incorrect
in a subtle way: it mixes up Debug and Release binaries, which in turn
causes hard-to-predict bugs.

In my case, when git calls iconv library, iconv sets 'errno' and git
then tests it, but in Debug and Release CRT those 'errno' are different
memory locations.

This patch addresses 3 connected bugs:
1) Typo in '\(Configuration)'. As a result, Debug configuration
   condition is always false and Release path is taken instead.
2) Regexp that replaced 'zlib.lib' with 'zlibd.lib' was only affecting
   the first occurrence. However, some projects have it listed twice.
   Previously this bug was hidden, because Debug path was never taken.
   I decided that avoiding double -lz in makefile is fragile and I'd
   better replace all occurrences instead.
3) In Debug, 'libcurl-d.lib' should be used instead of 'libcurl.lib'.
   Previously this bug was hidden, because Debug path was never taken.

aeeb978ba6 completion: teach archive to use __gitcomp_builtin
Currently, _git_archive() uses a hardcoded list of options for its
completion. However, we can use __gitcomp_builtin() to get a dynamically
generated list of completions instead.

Teach _git_archive() to use __gitcomp_builtin() so that newly
implemented options in archive will be automatically completed without
any mucking around in git-completion.bash. While we're at it, teach it
to complete the missing `--worktree-attributes` option as well.

Unfortunately, since some args are passed through from cmd_archive() to
write_archive() (which calls parse_archive_args()), there's no way that a
`--git-completion-helper` arg can end up reaching parse_archive_args()
since the first call to parse_options() will end up calling exit(0). As
a result, we have to carry the options supported by write_archive() in
the hardcoded string.

9df53c5de6 Recommend git-filter-repo instead of git-filter-branch
filter-branch suffers from a deluge of disguised dangers that disfigure
history rewrites (i.e. deviate from the deliberate changes).  Many of
these problems are unobtrusive and can easily go undiscovered until the
new repository is in use.  This can result in problems ranging from an
even messier history than what led folks to filter-branch in the first
place, to data loss or corruption.  These issues cannot be backward
compatibly fixed, so add a warning to both filter-branch and its manpage
recommending that another tool (such as filter-repo) be used instead.

Also, update other manpages that referenced filter-branch.  Several of
these needed updates even if we could continue recommending
filter-branch, either due to implying that something was unique to
filter-branch when it applied more generally to all history rewriting
tools (e.g. BFG, reposurgeon, fast-import, filter-repo), or because
something about filter-branch was used as an example despite other more
commonly known examples now existing.  Reword these sections to fix
these issues and to avoid recommending filter-branch.

Finally, remove the section explaining BFG Repo Cleaner as an
alternative to filter-branch.  I feel somewhat bad about this,
especially since I feel like I learned so much from BFG that I put to
good use in filter-repo (which is much more than I can say for
filter-branch), but keeping that section presented a few problems:
  * In order to recommend that people quit using filter-branch, we need
    to provide them a recomendation for something else to use that
    can handle all the same types of rewrites.  To my knowledge,
    filter-repo is the only such tool.  So it needs to be mentioned.
  * I don't want to give conflicting recommendations to users
  * If we recommend two tools, we shouldn't expect users to learn both
    and pick which one to use; we should explain which problems one
    can solve that the other can't or when one is much faster than
    the other.
  * BFG and filter-repo have similar performance
  * All filtering types that BFG can do, filter-repo can also do.  In
    fact, filter-repo comes with a reimplementation of BFG named
    bfg-ish which provides the same user-interface as BFG but with
    several bugfixes and new features that are hard to implement in
    BFG due to its technical underpinnings.
While I could still mention both tools, it seems like I would need to
provide some kind of comparison and I would ultimately just say that
filter-repo can do everything BFG can, so ultimately it seems that it
is just better to remove that section altogether.

414d924beb rebase: teach rebase --keep-base
A common scenario is if a user is working on a topic branch and they
wish to make some changes to intermediate commits or autosquash, they
would run something such as

	git rebase -i --onto master... master

in order to preserve the merge base. This is useful when contributing a
patch series to the Git mailing list, one often starts on top of the
current 'master'. While developing the patches, 'master' is also
developed further and it is sometimes not the best idea to keep rebasing
on top of 'master', but to keep the base commit as-is.

In addition to this, a user wishing to test individual commits in a
topic branch without changing anything may run

	git rebase -x ./test.sh master... master

Since rebasing onto the merge base of the branch and the upstream is
such a common case, introduce the --keep-base option as a shortcut.

This allows us to rewrite the above as

	git rebase -i --keep-base master

and

	git rebase -x ./test.sh --keep-base master

respectively.

Add tests to ensure --keep-base works correctly in the normal case and
fails when there are multiple merge bases, both in regular and
interactive mode. Also, test to make sure conflicting options cause
rebase to fail. While we're adding test cases, add a missing
set_fake_editor call to 'rebase -i --onto master...side'.

While we're documenting the --keep-base option, change an instance of
"merge-base" to "merge base", which is the consistent spelling.

b1b16bba96 completion: add --skip for cherry-pick and revert
Even though `--skip` is a valid command-line option for cherry-pick and
revert while they are in progress, it is not completed. Add this missing
option to the completion script.

deaa65a754 completion: merge options for cherry-pick and revert
Since revert and cherry-pick share the same sequencer code, they should
both accept the same command-line options. Derive the
`__git_cherry_pick_inprogress_options` and
`__git_revert_inprogress_options` variables from
`__git_sequencer_inprogress_options` so that the options aren't
unnecessarily duplicated twice.

5af9d5f6c8 completion: complete config variables and values for 'git clone --config='
Completing configuration sections and variable names for the stuck
argument of 'git clone --config=<TAB>' requires a bit of extra care
compared to doing the same for the unstuck argument of 'git clone
--config <TAB>', because we have to deal with that '--config=' being
part of the current word to be completed.

Add an option to the __git_complete_config_variable_name_and_value()
and in turn to the __git_complete_config_variable_name() helper
functions to specify the current section/variable name to be
completed, so they can be used even when completing the stuck argument
of '--config='.

__git_complete_config_variable_value() already has such an option, and
thus no further changes were necessary to complete possible values
after 'git clone --config=section.name=<TAB>'.

88cd790d6a completion: complete config variables names and values for 'git clone -c'
The previous commits taught the completion script how to complete
configuration section, variable names, and their valus after 'git -c
<TAB>', and with a bit of foresight encapsulated all that in a
dedicated helper function.  Use that function to complete the unstuck
argument of 'git config -c|--config <TAB>', which expect configuration
variables and values in the same 'section.name=value' form.

Note that handling the struck argument for 'git clone --config=<TAB>'
requires some extra care, so it will be done a separate patch.
