By default, a missing filter driver or a failure from the filter driver is
not an error, but merely makes the filter operation a no-op pass through.
This is useful to massage the content into a shape that is more convenient
for the platform, filesystem, and the user to use, and the content filter
mechanism is not used to turn something unusable into usable.
However, we could also use of the content filtering mechanism and store
the content that cannot be directly used in the repository (e.g. a UUID
that refers to the true content stored outside git, or an encrypted
content) and turn it into a usable form upon checkout (e.g. download the
external content, or decrypt the encrypted content). For such a use case,
the content cannot be used when filter driver fails, and we need a way to
tell Git to abort the whole operation for such a failing or missing filter
driver.
Add a new "filter.<driver>.required" configuration variable to mark the
second use case. When it is set, git will abort the operation when the
filter driver does not exist or exits with a non-zero status code.

So remove the support in Git for sending smoke tests to

"git tag -n" did not check the type of the object it is reading the top n
lines from. At least, avoid showing the beginning of trees and blobs when
dealing with lightweight tags that point at them.
As the payload of a tag and a commit look similar in that they both start
with a header block, which is skipped for the purpose of "-n" output,
followed by human readable text, allow the message of commit objects to be
shown just like the contents of tag objects. This avoids regression for
people who have been using "tag -n" to show the log messages of commits
that are pointed at by lightweight tags.

Originally, "git add -N" was introduced to help users from forgetting to
add new files to the index before they ran "git commit -a". As an attempt
to help them further so that they do not forget to say "-a", "git commit"
to commit the index as-is was taught to error out, reminding the user that
they may have forgotten to add the final contents of the paths before
running the command.
This turned out to be a false "safety" that is useless. If the user made
changes to already tracked paths and paths added with "git add -N", and
then ran "git add" to register the final contents of the paths added with
"git add -N", "git commit" will happily create a commit out of the index,
without including the local changes made to the already tracked paths. It
was not a useful "safety" measure to prevent "forgetful" mistakes from
happening.
It turns out that this behaviour is not just a useless false "safety", but
actively hurts use cases of "git add -N" that were discovered later and
have become popular, namely, to tell Git to be aware of these paths added
by "git add -N", so that commands like "git status" and "git diff" would
include them in their output, even though the user is not interested in
including them in the next commit they are going to make.
Fix this ancient UI mistake, and instead make a commit from the index
ignoring the paths added by "git add -N" without adding real contents.

sanity from Jonathan Nieder and others on the Git mailing list.

Running "git checkout -b another" immediately after "git init" when you do
not even have a commit on 'master' fails with:
$ git checkout -b another
fatal: You are on a branch yet to be born
This is unnecessary, if we redefine "git checkout -b $name" that does not
take any $start_point (which has to be a commit) as "I want to check out a
new branch $name from the state I am in".

* cb/push-quiet:
t5541: avoid TAP test miscounting
fix push --quiet: add 'quiet' capability to receive-pack
server_supports(): parse feature list more carefully
It is very easy to mistype the branch name when editing its description,
e.g.
$ git checkout -b my-topic master
: work work work
: now we are at a good point to switch working something else
$ git checkout master
: ah, let's write it down before we forget what we were doing
$ git branch --edit-description my-tpoic
The command does not notice that branch 'my-tpoic' does not exist. It is
not lost (it becomes description of an unborn my-tpoic branch), but is not
very useful. So detect such a case and error out to reduce the grief
factor from this common mistake.
This incidentally also errors out --edit-description when the HEAD points
at an unborn branch (immediately after "init", or "checkout --orphan"),
because at that point, you do not even have any commit that is part of
your history and there is no point in describing how this particular
branch is different from the branch it forked off of, which is the useful
bit of information the branch description is designed to capture.
We may want to special case the unborn case later, but that is outside the
scope of this patch to prevent more common mistakes before 1.7.9 series
gains too much widespread use.

Starting at release v1.7.9, if you ask to merge a signed tag, "git merge"
always creates a merge commit, even when the tag points at a commit that
happens to be a descendant of your current commit.
Unfortunately, this interacts rather badly for people who use --ff-only to
make sure that their branch is free of local developments. It used to be
possible to say:
$ git checkout -b frotz v1.7.9~30
$ git merge --ff-only v1.7.9
and expect that the resulting tip of frotz branch matches v1.7.9^0 (aka
the commit tagged as v1.7.9), but this fails with the updated Git with:
fatal: Not possible to fast-forward, aborting.
because a merge that merges v1.7.9 tag to v1.7.9~30 cannot be created by
fast forwarding.
We could teach users that now they have to do
$ git merge --ff-only v1.7.9^0
but it is far more pleasant for users if we DWIMmed this ourselves.
When an integrator pulls in a topic from a lieutenant via a signed tag,
even when the work done by the lieutenant happens to fast-forward, the
integrator wants to have a merge record, so the integrator will not be
asking for --ff-only when running "git pull" in such a case. Therefore,
this change should not regress the support for the use case v1.7.9 wanted
to add.

The only place that the issue this series addresses was observed
where we read "cat-file commit" output and put it in GIT_AUTHOR_DATE
in order to replay a commit with an ancient timestamp.
With the previous patch alone, "git commit --date='20100917 +0900'"
can be misinterpreted to mean an ancient timestamp, not September in
year 2010. Guard this codepath by requring an extra '@' in front of
the raw git timestamp on the parsing side. This of course needs to
be compensated by updating get_author_ident_from_commit and the code
for "git commit --amend" to prepend '@' to the string read from the
existing commit in the GIT_AUTHOR_DATE environment variable.

t0300 creates some helper shell scripts, and marks them with
"!/bin/sh". Even though the scripts are fairly simple, they
can fail on broken shells (specifically, Solaris /bin/sh
will persist a temporary assignment to IFS in a "read"
command).
Rather than work around the problem for Solaris /bin/sh,
using write_script will make sure we point to a known-good

Many of the scripts in the test suite write small helper
shell scripts to disk. It's best if these shell scripts
start with "#!$SHELL_PATH" rather than "#!/bin/sh", because
/bin/sh on some platforms is too buggy to be used.
However, it can be cumbersome to expand $SHELL_PATH, because
the usual recipe for writing a script is:
cat >foo.sh <<-\EOF
#!/bin/sh
echo my arguments are "$@"
EOF
To expand $SHELL_PATH, you have to either interpolate the
here-doc (which would require quoting "\$@"), or split the
creation into two commands (interpolating the $SHELL_PATH
line, but not the rest of the script). Let's provide a
helper function that makes that less syntactically painful.
While we're at it, this helper can also take care of the
"chmod +x" that typically comes after the creation of such a
script, saving the caller a line.

When you specify a local repository on the command line of
clone, ls-remote, upload-pack, receive-pack, or upload-archive,
or in a request to git-daemon, we perform a little bit of
lookup magic, doing things like looking in working trees for
.git directories and appending ".git" for bare repos.
For clone, this magic happens in get_repo_path. For
everything else, it happens in enter_repo. In both cases,
there are some ambiguous or confusing cases that aren't
handled well, and there is one case that is not handled the
same by both methods.
This patch tries to provide (and test!) standard, sensible
lookup rules for both code paths. The intended changes are:
1. When looking up "foo", we have always preferred
a working tree "foo" (containing "foo/.git" over the
bare "foo.git". But we did not prefer a bare "foo" over
"foo.git". With this patch, we do so.
2. We would select directories that existed but didn't
actually look like git repositories. With this patch,
we make sure a selected directory looks like a git
repo. Not only is this more sensible in general, but it
will help anybody who is negatively affected by change
(1) negatively (e.g., if they had "foo.git" next to its
separate work tree "foo", and expect to keep finding
"foo.git" when they reference "foo").
3. The enter_repo code path would, given "foo", look for
"foo.git/.git" (i.e., do the ".git" append magic even
for a repo with working tree). The clone code path did
not; with this patch, they now behave the same.
In the unlikely case of a working tree overlaying a bare
repo (i.e., a ".git" directory _inside_ a bare repo), we
continue to treat it as a working tree (prefering the
"inner" .git over the bare repo). This is mainly because the
combination seems nonsensical, and I'd rather stick with
existing behavior on the off chance that somebody is relying
on it.

There is currently no way for users to tell git-grep that a
particular path is or is not a binary file; instead, grep
always relies on its auto-detection (or the user specifying
"-a" to treat all binary-looking files like text).
This patch teaches git-grep to use the same attribute lookup
that is used by git-diff. We could add a new "grep" flag,
but that is unnecessarily complex and unlikely to be useful.
Despite the name, the "-diff" attribute (or "diff=foo" and
the associated diff.foo.binary config option) are really
about describing the contents of the path. It's simply
historical that diff was the only thing that cared about
these attributes in the past.
And if this simple approach turns out to be insufficient, we
still have a backwards-compatible path forward: we can add a
separate "grep" attribute, and fall back to respecting
"diff" if it is unset.
