27eea66b28 Update test script annotate-tests.sh to handle missing/extra authors
The current script used by annotate-tests.sh (used by t8001 and t8002) fails
to emit a warning if any of the expected authors never show up in the output
or if authors that show up in the output were never specified as expected.
Update the script to fail in both of these scenarios.

Maybe they do this because they read it in the Git user-manual.

2475770239 Documentation: update implicit "--no-index" behavior in "git diff"
Originally "--no-index" mode triggered for untracked files within the
tracked tree, but with v1.5.6-rc1~41 (Merge branch 'jc/diff-no-no-index,
2008-05-26) the command was fixed to only implicitly trigger when paths
outside the tracked tree are mentioned.

This commit also removes the summary attached to the SEE ALSO entry

reader wants a summary of the commands referred to, she can always
look to the top of the named pages or to the table of contents on the

b90d9b8895 work around buggy S_ISxxx(m) implementations
There are buggy implementations of S_ISxxx(m) macros on some platforms
(e.g. NetBSD).  The issue is that NetBSD doesn't take care to wrap its
macro arguments in parentheses, so on Linux and sane systems we have
S_ISREG(m) defined as something like:

    (((m) & S_IFMT) == S_IFREG)

But on NetBSD:

    ((m & _S_IFMT) == _S_IFREG)

Since a caller in builtin/diff.c called our macro as `S_IFREG | 0644'
this bug introduced a logic error on NetBSD, since the precedence of
bit-wise & is higher than | in C.

349362cc20 xdiff: cast arguments for ctype functions to unsigned char
The ctype functions isspace(), isalnum(), et al take an integer
argument representing an unsigned character, or -1 for EOF.  On
platforms with a signed char, it is unsafe to pass a char to them
without casting it to unsigned char first.

Most of git is already shielded against this by the ctype
implementation in git-compat-util.h, but xdiff, which uses libc
ctype.h, ought to be fixed.

9173912be3 init: plug tiny one-time memory leak
The buffer used to construct paths like ".git/objects/info" and
".git/objects/pack" is allocated on the heap and never freed.

So free it.  While at it, factor out the relevant code into its own
function and rename the sha1_dir variable to object_directory (to
match the change in everyday usage after the renaming of
SHA1_FILE_DIRECTORY in v0.99~603^2~7, 2005).

06f3549d71 setup: make sure git dir path is in a permanent buffer
If setup_git_env() is run before the usual repository discovery
sequence and .git is a file with the text

	gitdir: <path>

(with <path> any string) then the in-core git_dir variable is set to
the result of converting <path> to an absolute path using
make_absolute_path().

Unfortunately make_absolute_path() returns its result in a static
buffer that is overwritten by later calls.  Such a call could cause
later accesses to git_dir (from git_pathdup(), for example) to read
the wrong path, leaving git very confused.

It is not obvious whether any existing code in git will trigger the
problem, but in any case, it is worth a few dozen bytes to copy the
return value from make_absolute_path() for some added peace of mind.
