When a commit has many tags, the tag icons in the graph display can
easily become so wide as to push the commit message off the right-hand
edge of the graph display pane. This changes the display so that if
there are more than 3 tags or they would take up more than a quarter
of the width of the pane, we instead display a single tag icon with
a legend inside it like "4 tags...". If the user clicks on the tag
icon, gitk then displays all the tags in the diff display pane.

If we find two refspecs that want to update the same local reference,
emit an error message that is more informative based on whether one of
the conflicting refspecs is an opportunistic update during a fetch
with explicit command-line refspecs. And especially, do not die if an
opportunistic reference update conflicts with an express wish of the
user; rather, just emit a warning and skip the opportunistic reference
update.

Add some tests that "git fetch" handles refspec conflicts (i.e., when
the same local reference should be updated from two different remote
references) correctly.
There is a small bug when updating references opportunistically,
namely that an explicit user wish like
git fetch origin \
refs/heads/branch1:refs/remotes/origin/branch2 \
refs/heads/branch2:refs/remotes/origin/branch1
should override a configured refspec like
+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
The current code incorrectly treats this as a fatal error.
In a few commits we will improve the error messages for refspec
conflicts in general and also turn this buggy fatal error into a
warning.

The old code called string_list_lookup(), and if that failed called
string_list_insert(), thus doing the bisection search through the
string list twice in the latter code path.
Instead, just call string_list_insert() right away. If an entry for
that peer reference name already existed, then its util pointer is
always non-NULL.
Of course this doesn't change the fact that the repeated
string_list_insert() calls make the function scale like O(N^2) if the
input reference list is not already approximately sorted.

The old behavior of "fetch --prune" was to prune whatever was being
fetched. In particular, "fetch --prune --tags" caused tags not only
to be fetched, but also to be pruned. This is inappropriate because
there is only one tags namespace that is shared among the local
repository and all remotes. Therefore, if the user defines a local
tag and then runs "git fetch --prune --tags", then the local tag is
deleted. Moreover, "--prune" and "--tags" can also be configured via
fetch.prune / remote.<name>.prune and remote.<name>.tagopt, making it
even less obvious that an invocation of "git fetch" could result in
tag lossage.
Since the command "git remote update" invokes "git fetch", it had the
same problem.
The command "git remote prune", on the other hand, disregarded the
setting of remote.<name>.tagopt, and so its behavior was inconsistent
with that of the other commands.
So the old behavior made it too easy to lose tags. To fix this
problem, change "fetch --prune" to prune references based only on
refspecs specified explicitly by the user, either on the command line
or via remote.<name>.fetch. Thus, tags are no longer made subject to
pruning by the --tags option or the remote.<name>.tagopt setting.
However, tags *are* still subject to pruning if they are fetched as
part of a refspec, and that is good. For example:
* On the command line,
git fetch --prune 'refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*'
causes tags, and only tags, to be fetched and pruned, and is
therefore a simple way for the user to get the equivalent of the old
behavior of "--prune --tag".
* For a remote that was configured with the "--mirror" option, the
configuration is set to include
[remote "name"]
fetch = +refs/*:refs/*
, which causes tags to be subject to pruning along with all other
references. This is the behavior that will typically be desired for
a mirror.

Previously, fetch's "--tags" option was considered equivalent to
specifying the refspec "refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*" on the command line;
in particular, it caused the remote.<name>.refspec configuration to be
ignored.
But it is not very useful to fetch tags without also fetching other
references, whereas it *is* quite useful to be able to fetch tags *in
addition to* other references. So change the semantics of this option
to do the latter.
If a user wants to fetch *only* tags, then it is still possible to
specifying an explicit refspec:
git fetch <remote> 'refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*'
Please note that the documentation prior to 1.8.0.3 was ambiguous
about this aspect of "fetch --tags" behavior. Commit

The old code processed (tags == TAGS_SET) before adding the entries
used to opportunistically update references mentioned on the command
line. The result was that all tags were also considered candidates
for opportunistic updating.
This is harmless for two reasons: (a) because it would only add
entries if there is a configured refspec that covers tags *and* both
--tags and another refspec appear on the command-line; (b) because any
extra entries would be deleted later by the call to
ref_remove_duplicates() anyway.
But, to avoid extra work and extra memory usage, and to make the
implementation better match the intention, change the algorithm
slightly: compute the opportunistic refspecs based only on the
command-line arguments, storing the results into a separate temporary
list. Then add the tags (which have to come earlier in the list so
that they are not de-duped in favor of an opportunistic entry). Then
concatenate the temporary list onto the main list.
This change will also make later changes easier.

Solaris' tr (both /usr/bin/ and /usr/xpg4/bin) uses the System V
semantics for tr whereby string1's length is truncated to the length
of string2 if string2 is shorter. The BSD semantics, as used by GNU tr
see string2 padded to the length of string1 using the final character
in string2. POSIX explicitly doesn't specify the correct behavior
here, making both equally valid.
This difference means that Solaris' native tr implementations produce
different results for tr ":\t\n" "\0" than GNU tr. This breaks a few
tests in t0008-ignores.sh.
Possible fixes for this are to make string2 be "\0\0\0" or "[\0*]".
Instead, use perl to perform these transliterations which means we
don't need to worry about the difference at all. Since we're replacing
tr with perl, we also use perl to replace the sed invocations used to
transform the files.
Replace four identical transforms with a function named
broken_c_unquote. Replace the other two identical transforms with a

If you ask for-each-ref to print each ref and its object,
like:
git for-each-ref --format='%(objectname) %(refname)'
this should involve little more work than looking at the ref
files (and packed-refs) themselves. However, for-each-ref
will actually load each object from disk just to print its
sha1. For most repositories, this isn't a big deal, but it
can be noticeable if you have a large number of refs to
print. Here are best-of-five timings for the command above
on a repo with ~10K refs:
[before]
real 0m0.112s
user 0m0.092s
sys 0m0.016s
[after]
real 0m0.014s
user 0m0.012s
sys 0m0.000s
This patch checks for %(objectname) and %(objectname:short)
before we actually parse the object (and the rest of the
code is smart enough to avoid parsing if we have filled all
of our placeholders).
Note that we can't simply move the objectname parsing code
into the early loop. If the "deref" form %(*objectname) is
used, then we do need to parse the object in order to peel
the tag. So instead of moving the code, we factor it out
into a separate function that can be called for both cases.
While we're at it, we add some basic tests for the
dereferenced placeholders, which were not tested at all
before. This helps ensure we didn't regress that case.

The "git pull --rebase" command computes the fork point of the
branch being rebased using the reflog entries of the "base" branch
(typically a remote-tracking branch) the branch's work was based on,
in order to cope with the case in which the "base" branch has been
rewound and rebuilt. For example, if the history looked like this:
o---B1
/
---o---o---B2--o---o---o---Base
\
B3
\
Derived
where the current tip of the "base" branch is at Base, but earlier
fetch observed that its tip used to be B3 and then B2 and then B1
before getting to the current commit, and the branch being rebased
on top of the latest "base" is based on commit B3, it tries to find
B3 by going through the output of "git rev-list --reflog base" (i.e.
Base, B1, B2, B3) until it finds a commit that is an ancestor of the
current tip "Derived".
Internally, we have get_merge_bases_many() that can compute this
with one-go. We would want a merge-base between Derived and a
fictitious merge commit that would result by merging all the
historical tips of "base". When such a commit exist, we should get
a single result, which exactly match one of the reflog entries of
"base".
Teach "git merge-base" a new mode, "--fork-point", to compute
exactly that.

As of the last commit, we can use "perl" instead of

easier on the eyes, let's switch to using it everywhere.
This is not quite a mechanical s/$PERL_PATH/perl/

perl from a script we generate on the fly, and those scripts
do not have access to our internal shell functions. The

Once upon a time, we assumed that calling a bare "perl" in
the test scripts was OK, because we would find the perl from
the user's PATH, and we were only asking that perl to do
basic operations that work even on old versions of perl.
Later, we found that some systems really prefer to use
$PERL_PATH even for these basic cases, because the system
perl misbehaves in some way (e.g., by handling line endings
differently). We then switched "perl" invocations to
"$PERL_PATH" to respect the user's choice.
Having to use "$PERL_PATH" is ugly and cumbersome, though.
Instead, let's provide a perl() shell function that tests
can use, which will transparently do the right thing.
Unfortunately, test writers still have to use $PERL_PATH in
certain situations, so we still need to keep the advice in
the README.
Note that this may fix test failures in t5004, t5503, t6002,
t6003, t6300, t8001, and t8002, depending on your system's

Several of the built shell commands invoke a bare "perl" to
perform some one-liners. This will use the first perl in the
PATH rather than the one specified by the user's SHELL_PATH.
We are not asking these perl invocations to do anything
exotic, so typically any old system perl will do; however,
in some cases the system perl may have unexpected behavior
(e.g., by handling line endings differently). We should err
on the side of using the perl the user pointed us to.
The downside of this is that on systems with a sane perl
setup, we no longer find the perl at runtime, but instead
point to a static perl (like /usr/bin/perl). That means we
will not handle somebody moving perl without rebuilding git,
whereas before we tracked it just fine. This is probably not
a big deal, though, as the built perl scripts already
suffered from this.

worrying to add a PERL prerequisite.
Perl is portable enough that it seems fine to keep relying on it for
this kind of thing in tests (and more readable than the alternative of
trying to find POSIXy equivalents). Update the test documentation to
