get_sha1() cannot currently parse a valid object name like
"HEAD:@{upstream}" (assuming that such an oddly named file
exists in the HEAD commit). It takes two passes to parse the
string:
1. It first considers the whole thing as a ref, which
results in looking for the upstream of "HEAD:".
2. It finds the colon, parses "HEAD" as a tree-ish, and then
finds the path "@{upstream}" in the tree.
For a path that looks like a normal reflog (e.g.,
"HEAD:@{yesterday}"), the first pass is a no-op. We try to
dwim_ref("HEAD:"), that returns zero refs, and we proceed
with colon-parsing.
For "HEAD:@{upstream}", though, the first pass ends up in
interpret_upstream_mark, which tries to find the branch
"HEAD:". When it sees that the branch does not exist, it
actually dies rather than returning an error to the caller.
As a result, we never make it to the second pass.
One obvious way of fixing this would be to teach
interpret_upstream_mark to simply report "no, this isn't an
upstream" in such a case. However, that would make the
error-reporting for legitimate upstream cases significantly
worse. Something like "bogus@{upstream}" would simply report
"unknown revision: bogus@{upstream}", while the current code
diagnoses a wide variety of possible misconfigurations (no
such branch, branch exists but does not have upstream, etc).
However, we can take advantage of the fact that a branch
name cannot contain a colon. Therefore even if we find an
upstream mark, any prefix with a colon must mean that
the upstream mark we found is actually a pathname, and
should be disregarded completely. This patch implements that
logic.

interpret_branch_name gets passed a "name" buffer to parse,
along with a "namelen" parameter representing its length. If
"namelen" is zero, we fallback to the NUL-terminated
string-length of "name".
However, it does not necessarily follow that if we have
gotten a non-zero "namelen", it is the NUL-terminated
string-length of "name". E.g., when get_sha1() is parsing
"foo:bar", we will be asked to operate only on the first
three characters.
Yet in interpret_branch_name and its helpers, we use string
functions like strchr() to operate on "name", looking past
the length we were given. This can result in us mis-parsing
object names. We should instead be limiting our search to
"namelen" bytes.
There are three distinct types of object names this patch
addresses:
- The intrepret_empty_at helper uses strchr to find the
next @-expression after our potential empty-at. In an
expression like "@:foo@bar", it erroneously thinks that
the second "@" is relevant, even if we were asked only
to look at the first character. This case is easy to
trigger (and we test it in this patch).
- When finding the initial @-mark for @{upstream}, we use
strchr. This means we might treat "foo:@{upstream}" as
the upstream for "foo:", even though we were asked only
to look at "foo". We cannot test this one in practice,
because it is masked by another bug (which is fixed in
the next patch).
- The interpret_nth_prior_checkout helper did not receive
the name length at all. This turns out not to be a
problem in practice, though, because its parsing is so
limited: it always starts from the far-left of the
string, and will not tolerate a colon (which is
currently the only way to get a smaller-than-strlen
"namelen"). However, it's still worth fixing to make the
code more obviously correct, and to future-proof us
against callers with more exotic buffers.

This function checks a few different @{}-constructs. The

construct, but the code for handling @{upstream} is inline.
Let's factor this out into its own function. This makes
interpret_branch_name more readable, and will make it much
simpler to further refactor the function in future patches.
While we're at it, let's also break apart the refactored

Since 64a99eb4 git gc refuses to run without the --force option if
another gc process on the same repository is already running.
However, if the repository is shared and user A runs git gc on the
repository and while that gc is still running user B runs git gc on
the same repository the gc process run by user A will not be noticed
and the gc run by user B will go ahead and run.
The problem is that the kill(pid, 0) test fails with an EPERM error
since user B is not allowed to signal processes owned by user A
(unless user B is root).
Update the test to recognize an EPERM error as meaning the process
exists and another gc should not be run (unless --force is given).

This reverts commit 31b49d9b65.
That commit taught do_askpass to hand ownership of our
buffer back to the caller rather than simply return a
pointer into our internal strbuf. What it failed to notice,
though, was that our internal strbuf is static, because we
are trying to emulate the getpass() interface.
By handing off ownership, we created a memory leak that
cannot be solved. Sometimes git_prompt returns a static
buffer from getpass() (or our smarter git_terminal_prompt
wrapper), and sometimes it returns an allocated string from
do_askpass.

Commit 98e2092 taught cat-file to stream blobs with --batch,
which requires that we look up the object type before
loading it into memory. As a result, we now print the
object header from information in sha1_object_info, and the
actual contents from the read_sha1_file. We double-check
that the information we printed in the header matches the
content we are about to show.
Later, commit 93d2a60 allowed custom header lines for
--batch, and commit 5b08640 made type lookups optional. As a
result, specifying a header line without the type or size
means that we will not look up those items at all.
This causes our double-checking to erroneously die with an
error; we think the type or size has changed, when in fact
it was simply left at "0".
For the size, we can fix this by only doing the consistency
double-check when we have retrieved the size via
sha1_object_info. In the case that we have not retrieved the
value, that means we also did not print it, so there is
nothing for us to check that we are consistent with.
We could do the same for the type. However, besides our
consistency check, we also care about the type in deciding
whether to stream or not. So instead of handling the case
where we do not know the type, this patch instead makes sure
that we always trigger a type lookup when we are printing,
so that even a format without the type will stream as we
would in the normal case.

We currently individually pass the sha1, type, and size
fields calculated by sha1_object_info. However, if we pass
the whole struct, the called function can make more
intelligent decisions about which fields were actually
filled by sha1_object_info.
This patch takes that first refactoring step, passing the
whole struct, so further patches can make those decisions
with less noise in their diffs. There should be no
functional change to this patch (aside from a minor typo fix
in the error message).
As a side effect, we can rename the local variables in the
function to "type" and "size", since the names are no longer
taken.

When rev-parse looks at whether an argument like "foo..bar" or
"foobar^@" is a difference or parent-shorthand, it internally
munges the arguments so that it can pass the individual rev
arguments to get_sha1(). However, we do not consistently un-munge
the result.
For cases where we do not match (e.g., "doesnotexist..HEAD"), we
would then want to try to treat the argument as a filename.
try_difference gets() this right, and always unmunges in this case.
However, try_parent_shorthand() never unmunges, leading to incorrect
error messages, or even incorrect results:
$ git rev-parse foobar^@
foobar
fatal: ambiguous argument 'foobar': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'
$ >foobar
$ git rev-parse foobar^@
foobar
For cases where we do match, neither function unmunges. This does
not currently matter, since we are done with the argument. However,
a future patch will do further processing, and this prepares for
it. In addition, it's simply a confusing interface for some cases to
modify the const argument, and others not to.

Rev-parse understands that a "--" may separate revisions and
filenames, and that anything after the "--" is taken as-is.
However, it does not understand that anything before the
token must be a revision (which is the usual rule
implemented by the setup_revisions parser).
Since rev-parse prefers revisions to files when parsing
before the "--", we end up with the correct result (if such
an argument is a revision, we parse it as one, and if it is
not, it is an error either way). However, we misdiagnose
the errors:
$ git rev-parse foobar -- >/dev/null
fatal: ambiguous argument 'foobar': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'
$ >foobar
$ git rev-parse foobar -- >/dev/null
fatal: bad flag '--' used after filename
In both cases, we should know that the real error is that
"foobar" is meant to be a revision, but could not be
resolved.

When submodule.$name.update is given as hint from the upstream in
the .gitmodules file, we used to blindly copy it to .git/config,
unless there already is a value defined for the submodule.
However, there is no reason to expect that the update mode hinted by
the upstream is available in the version of Git the user is using,
and a really custom "!cmd" prepared by an upstream person running on
Linux may not even be available to a user on Windows. It is simply
irresponsible to copy the setting blindly and to attempt to use it
during a later "submodule update" without validating it first.
Just show the suggested value to the diagnostic output, and set the
value to 'none' in the configuration, if it is not one of the ones
that are known to be supported by this version of Git.

git-cherry(1)'s "description" section has never really managed
to explain to me what the command does. It contains too much
explanation of the algorithm instead of simply saying what
goals it achieves, and too much terminology that we otherwise
do not use (fork-point instead of merge-base).
Try a much more concise approach: state what it finds out, why
this is neat, and how the output is formatted, in a few short
paragraphs. In return, provide much longer examples of how it
fits into a "format-patch | am" based workflow, and how it
compares to reading the same from git-log.
Also carefully avoid using "merge" in a context where it does
not mean something that comes from git-merge(1). Instead, say
"apply" in an attempt to further link to patch workflow
concepts.
While there, also omit the language about _which_ upstream
branch we treat as the default. I literally just learned that
