Change the revision parsing logic to match @{upstream}, @{u} & @{push}
case-insensitively.
Before this change supplying anything except the lower-case forms
emits an "unknown revision or path not in the working tree"
error. This change makes upper-case & mixed-case versions equivalent
to the lower-case versions.
The use-case for this is being able to hold the shift key down while
typing @{u} on certain keyboard layouts, which makes the sequence
easier to type, and reduces cases where git throws an error at the
user where it could do what he means instead.
These suffixes now join various other suffixes & special syntax
documented in gitrevisions(7) that matches case-insensitively. A table
showing the status of the various forms documented there before &
after this patch is shown below. The key for the table is:
- CI = Case Insensitive
- CIP = Case Insensitive Possible (without ambiguities)
- AG = Accepts Garbage (.e.g. @{./.4.minutes./.})
Before this change:
|----------------+-----+------+-----|
| What? | CI? | CIP? | AG? |
|----------------+-----+------+-----|
| @{<date>} | Y | Y | Y |
| @{upstream} | N | Y | N |
| @{push} | N | Y | N |
|----------------+-----+------+-----|
After it:
|----------------+-----+------+-----|
| What? | CI? | CIP? | AG? |
|----------------+-----+------+-----|
| @{<date>} | Y | Y | Y |
| @{upstream} | Y | Y | N |
| @{push} | Y | Y | N |
|----------------+-----+------+-----|
The ^{<type>} suffix is not made case-insensitive, because other
places that take <type> like "cat-file -t <type>" do want them case
sensitively (after all we never declared that type names are case
insensitive). Allowing case-insensitive typename only with this syntax
will make the resulting Git as a whole inconsistent.
This change was independently authored to scratch a longtime itch, but
when I was about to submit it I discovered that a similar patch had
been submitted unsuccessfully before by Conrad Irwin in August 2011 as
"rev-parse: Allow @{U} as a synonym for
@{u}" (<1313287071-7851-1-git-send-email-conrad.irwin@gmail.com>).
The tests for this patch are more exhaustive than in the 2011
submission. The starting point for them was to first change the code
to only support upper-case versions of the existing words, seeing what
broke, and amending the breaking tests to check upper case & mixed
case as appropriate, and where not redundant to other similar
tests. The implementation itself is equivalent.

The "detect attempt to create collisions" variant of SHA-1
implementation by Marc Stevens (CWI) and Dan Shumow (Microsoft)
has been integrated and made the default.

Teach the "debug" helper used in the test framework that allows a
command to run under "gdb" to make the session interactive.

The code to parse "git -c VAR=VAL cmd" and set configuration
variable for the duration of cmd had two small bugs, which have
been fixed.
This supersedes jc/config-case-cmdline topic that has been discarded.

config: use git_config_parse_key() in git_config_parse_parameter()
config: move a few helper functions up
The code to parse the command line "git grep <patterns>... <rev>
[[--] <pathspec>...]" has been cleaned up, and a handful of bugs
have been fixed (e.g. we used to check "--" if it is a rev).
* jk/grep-no-index-fix:
grep: treat revs the same for --untracked as for --no-index
grep: do not diagnose misspelt revs with --no-index
grep: avoid resolving revision names in --no-index case
grep: fix "--" rev/pathspec disambiguation
grep: re-order rev-parsing loop
grep: do not unnecessarily query repo for "--"
grep: move thread initialization a little lower
"git ls-remote" and "git archive --remote" are designed to work
without being in a directory under Git's control. However, recent
updates revealed that we randomly look into a directory called
.git/ without actually doing necessary set-up when working in a
repository. Stop doing so.
* jn/remote-helpers-with-git-dir:
remote helpers: avoid blind fall-back to ".git" when setting GIT_DIR
remote: avoid reading $GIT_DIR config in non-repo
Code to read submodule.<name>.ignore config did not state the
variable name correctly when giving an error message diagnosing
misconfiguration.

"git push" had a handful of codepaths that could lead to a deadlock
when unexpected error happened, which has been fixed.
* jk/push-deadlock-regression-fix:
send-pack: report signal death of pack-objects
send-pack: read "unpack" status even on pack-objects failure
send-pack: improve unpack-status error messages

When using rebase --interactive where one of the lines is marked as
'edit' this is the resulting output:
Stopped at ec3b9c4... stuffYou can amend the commit now, with
git commit --amend
Once you are satisfied with your changes, run
git rebase --continue
A newline character is missing at the end of the "Stopped at ..." line and
before the "You can amend ..." line. This patch fixes the malformed output by
adding the missing newline character to the end of the "Stopped at ..." line.

The configuration file learned a new "includeIf.<condition>.path"

"Cc:" on the trailer part does not have to conform to RFC strictly,
unlike in the e-mail header. "git send-email" has been updated to

"git show-branch" expected there were only very short branch names
in the repository and used a fixed-length buffer to hold them

show-branch: store resolved head in heap buffer
show-branch: drop head_len variable
A caller of tempfile API that uses stdio interface to write to
files may ignore errors while writing, which is detected when
tempfile is closed (with a call to ferror()). By that time, the
original errno that may have told us what went wrong is likely to
be long gone and was overwritten by an irrelevant value.
close_tempfile() now resets errno to EIO to make errno at least
predictable.

"git upload-pack", which is a counter-part of "git fetch", did not
