AIX doesn't ship with "less" by default, and their "more" is
more featureful than average, so the latter is a more
sensible choice. People who really want less can set the
compile-time option themselves, or users can set $PAGER.

Untracked content in the working tree may prevent rebase -i from checking out
the new base onto which it wants to replay commits, if the new base commit
includes files at those (now untracked) paths. Currently, rebase -i dies
uncleanly in this situation, updating ORIG_HEAD and leaving a useless
.git/rebase-merge directory, with which the user can do nothing useful except
rebase --abort. Make rebase -i abort the procedure itself instead, as
non-interactive rebase already does, and add a test for this behavior.

We generally disallow empty commits with "git commit". The
output produced by the wt_status functions is generally
sufficient to explain what happened.
With --amend commits, however, things are a little more
confusing. We would create an empty commit not if you
actually have staged changes _now_, but if your staged
changes match HEAD^. In this case, it is not immediately
obvious why "git commit" claims no changes, but "git status"
does not. Furthermore, we should point the user in the
direction of git reset, which would eliminate the empty
commit entirely.

The rebase --preserve-merges facility presents a list of commits
in its instruction sheet and uses a separate table to keep
track of their parents. Unfortunately, in practice this means
that with -p after most attempts to rearrange patches, some
commits have the "wrong" parent and the resulting history is
rarely what the caller expected.
Yes, it would be nice to fix that. But first, add a warning to the
manual to help the uninitiated understand what is going on.

The UTF-8 prerequisite test checked explicitly for en_US.utf8 in the
output from "locale -a", but the tests that are actually protected by the
prerequisite were asking LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 from the system.
This inconsistency leads the tests to fail on platforms that do not know
both en_US.UTF-8 and en_US.utf8 (thanks you, Yann Droneaud, for bringing
this up with an initial patch).
Instead, pick a locale with ".UTF-8" (with or without hyphen, spelled in
either upper or lowercase) in its name from "locale -a" output, and use it
for running the test.

Starting with PHP5, class methods can have a visibility modifier, which
caused the methods not to be matched by the existing regexp, so extend
the regexp to match those modifiers. And while we're at it, allow the
"static" modifier as well.
Since the "static" modifier can appear either before or after the
visibility modifier, let's just allow any number of modifiers to appear
in any order, as that simplifies the regexp and shouldn't cause any
false positives.

Pull was never meant to take --dry-run at all. However, it
passes unknown arguments to git-fetch, which does do a
dry-run. Unfortunately, pull then attempts to merge whatever
cruft was in FETCH_HEAD (which the dry-run fetch will not
have written to).
Even though we never advertise --dry-run as something that
should work, it is still worth being defensive because:
1. Other commands (including fetch) take --dry-run, so a
user might try it.
2. Rather than simply producing an error, it actually
changes the repository in totally unexpected ways.
This patch makes "pull --dry-run" equivalent to "fetch
--dry-run".

This function takes a sha1 and produces a loose object
filename. It caches the location of the object directory so
that it can fill the sha1 information directly without
allocating a new buffer (and in its original incarnation,
without calling getenv(), though these days we cache that
with the code in environment.c).
This cached base directory can become stale, however, if in
a single process git changes the location of the object
directory (e.g., by running setup_work_tree, which will
chdir to the new worktree).
In most cases this isn't a problem, because we tend to set
up the git repository location and do any chdir()s before
actually looking up any objects, so the first lookup will
cache the correct location. In the case of reset --hard,
however, we do something like:
1. look up the commit object
2. notice we are doing --hard, run setup_work_tree
3. look up the tree object to reset
Step (3) fails because our cache object directory value is
bogus.
This patch simply removes the caching. We use a static
buffer instead of allocating one each time (the original
version treated the malloc'd buffer as a static, so there is
no change in calling semantics).

Bigger writes to network drives on Windows XP fail. Cap them at 31MB to
allow them to succeed. Callers need to be prepared for write() calls
that do less work than requested anyway.
On local drives, write() calls are translated to WriteFile() calls with
a cap of 64KB on Windows XP and 256KB on Vista. Thus a cap of 31MB won't
affect the number of WriteFile() calls which do the actual work. There's
still room for some other version of Windows to use a chunk size of 1MB
without increasing the number of system calls.

Fix the problem where the cmd->err passed into start_command wasn't

On Windows, this problem would be triggered if mingw_spawnvpe()

(e.g. a text file that didn't start with a #! line). If cmd->err was
a pipe, the failure to close it could result in a hang while the other
side was waiting (forever) for either input or pipe close, e.g. while
trying to shove the output into the side band. On msysGit, this

Coloring the extended headers where done as a whole not per line. less with
option -R (which is the default from git) does not support this coloring
mode because of performance reasons. The -r option would be an alternative
but has problems with lines that are longer than the screen. Therefore
stick to the idiom to color each line separately. The problem is, that the
result of ill_metainfo() will also be used as an parameter to an external
diff driver, so we need to disable coloring in this case.
Because coloring is now done inside fill_metainfo() we can simply add this
string to the diff header and therefore keep the last newline in the
extended header. This results also into the fact that the external diff
driver now gets this last newline too. Which is a change in behavior
but a good one.
