This happens when git merge is run to merge multiple commits that are
descendants of current HEAD (or are HEAD). We've hit this while updating
master to origin/master but accidentaly we called (while being on master):
$ git merge master origin/master
Here is a minimal testcase:
$ git init a && cd a
$ echo a >a && git add a
$ git commit -minitial
$ echo b >a && git add a
$ git commit -msecond
$ git checkout master^
$ git merge master master
Fast-forwarding to: master
Already up-to-date with master
Merge made by the 'octopus' strategy.

Even though the function is generic enough, <anything>sort() inherits
connotations from the standard function qsort() that sorts an array.
Rename it to llist_mergesort() and describe the external interface in
its header file.
This incidentally avoids name clashes with mergesort() some platforms
declare in, and contaminate user namespace with, their <stdlib.h>.

The recent change to use SHELL_PATH instead of "sh" to spawn shell commands
is not suited for Windows:
- The default setting, "/bin/sh", does not work when git has to run the
shell because it is a POSIX style path, but not a proper Windows style
path.
- If it worked, it would hard-code a position in the files system where
the shell is expected, making git (more precisely, the POSIX toolset that
is needed alongside git) non-relocatable. But we cannot sacrifice
relocatability on Windows.
- Apart from that, even though the Makefile leaves SHELL_PATH set to
"/bin/sh" for the Windows builds, the build system passes a mangled path
to the compiler, and something like "D:/Src/msysgit/bin/sh" is used,
which is doubly bad because it points to where /bin/sh resolves to on
the system where git was built.
- Finally, the system's CreateProcess() function that is used under
mingw.c's hood does not work with forward slashes and cannot find the
shell.
Undo the earlier change on Windows.

If the branch configured as upstream didn't have a local tracking
branch, git said "Upstream branch not found". We can be more helpful,
and separate the cases when upstream is not configured, and when it is
configured, but the upstream branch is not tracked in a local branch.
The following configuration leads to the second scenario:
[remote "origin"]
url = ...
fetch = refs/heads/master
[branch "master"]
remote = origin
merge = refs/heads/master
'git pull' will work on master, but master@{upstream} is not defined.

When using @{u} or @{upstream} it is common to omit the branch name,
implying current branch. If the upstream is not configured, the error
message was "No upstream branch found for ''".
When resolving '@{u}', branch_get() is called, which almost always
returns a description of a branch. This allows us to use a branch name
in the error message, even if the user said something like '@{u}'.
The only case when branch_get() returns NULL is when HEAD points to so
something which is not a branch. Of course this also means that no
upstream is configured, but it is better to directly say that HEAD
does not point to a branch.

In preparation for future changes, add tests which show error messages
with @{upstream} in various conditions:
- test branch@{u} with . as remote
- check error message for branch@{u} on a branch with
* no upstream,
* on a branch with a configured upstream which doesn't have a
remote-tracking branch
- check error message for branch@{u} when branch 'branch' does not
exist
- check error message for @{u} without the branch name
Right now the messages are very similar, but various cases can and
will be distinguished.
Note: test_i18ncmp is not used, because currently error output is not
internationalized. test_cmp will be switched to test_i18ncmp in a later

Various failure modes in the repository detection code path currently
quote the wrong directory in their error message. The working directory
is changed iteratively to the parent directory until a git repository is
found. If the working directory cannot be changed to the parent
directory for some reason, the detection gives up and prints an error
message. The error message should report the current working directory.
Instead of continually updating the 'cwd' variable, which is actually
used to remember the original working directory, the 'offset' variable
is used to keep track of the current working directory. At the point
where the affected error handling code is called, 'offset' already
points to the end of the parent of the working directory, rather than
the current working directory.
Fix this by explicitly using a variable 'offset_parent' and update
'offset' concurrently with the call to chdir.
In a similar fashion, the function get_device_or_die() would print the
original working directory in case of a failure, rather than the current
working directory. Fix this as well by making use of the 'offset'
variable.
Lastly, replace the phrase 'mount parent' with 'mount point'. The former
appears to be a typo.

If fast-import's command pipe and the frontend's cat-blob/ls response
pipe are both filled, there can be a deadlock. Luckily all existing
frontends consume any pending cat-blob/ls responses completely before
writing the next command.
Document the requirements so future frontend authors and users can be
spared from the problem, too. It is not always easy to catch that
kind of bug by testing.
To set the scene, add some words of explanation to help the novice
understand that "cat-blob" and "ls" output are meant for consumption

Since 88a21979c (fetch/pull: recurse into submodules when necessary) all
fetched commits are examined if they contain submodule changes (unless
configuration or command line options inhibit that). If a newly recorded
submodule commit is not present in the submodule, a fetch is run inside
it to download that commit.
Checking new refs was done in an else branch where it wasn't executed for
tags. This normally isn't a problem because tags are only fetched with
the branches they live on, then checking the new commits in the fetched
branches for submodule commits will also process all tags. But when a
specific tag is fetched (or the refspec contains refs/tags/) commits only
reachable by tags won't be searched for submodule commits, which is a bug.
Fix that by moving the code outside the if/else construct to handle new
tags just like any other ref. The performance impact of adding tags that
most of the time lie on a branch which is checked anyway for new submodule
commit should be minimal, as since 6859de4 (fetch: avoid quadratic loop
checking for updated submodules) all ref-tips are collected first and then
fed to a single rev-list.

We give the username and password to curl by sticking them
in a buffer of the form "user:pass" and handing the result
to CURLOPT_USERPWD. Since curl 7.19.1, there is a split
mechanism, where you can specify each element individually.
This has the advantage that a username can contain a ":"
character. It also is less code for us, since we can hand
our strings over to curl directly. And since curl 7.17.0 and
higher promise to copy the strings for us, we we don't even
have to worry about memory ownership issues.
Unfortunately, we have to keep the ugly code for old curl
around, but as it is now nicely #if'd out, we can easily get
rid of it when we decide that 7.19.1 is "old enough".

When we have a credential to give to curl, we must copy it
into a "user:pass" buffer and then hand the buffer to curl.
Old versions of curl did not copy the buffer, and we were
expected to keep it valid. Newer versions of curl will copy
the buffer.
Our solution was to use a strbuf and detach it, giving
ownership of the resulting buffer to curl. However, this
meant that we were leaking the buffer on newer versions of
curl, since curl was just copying it and throwing away the
string we passed. Furthermore, when we replaced a
credential (e.g., because our original one was rejected), we
were also leaking on both old and new versions of curl.
This got even worse in the last patch, which started
replacing the credential (and thus leaking) on every http
request.
Instead, let's use a static buffer to make the ownership
more clear and less leaky. We already keep a static "struct
credential", so we are only handling a single credential at
a time, anyway.
