ebc4a04e84 remote: force completing --mirror= instead of --mirror
"git remote --mirror" is a special case. Technically it is possible to
specify --mirror without any argument. But we will get a "dangerous,
deprecated!" warning in that case.

This new parse-opt flag allows --git-completion-helper to always
complete --mirror=, ignoring the dangerous use case.

cf63051ada diff: introduce DIFF_PICKAXE_KINDS_MASK
Currently the check whether to perform pickaxing is done via checking
`diffopt->pickaxe`, which contains the command line argument that we
want to pickaxe for. Soon we'll introduce a new type of pickaxing, that
will not store anything in the `.pickaxe` field, so let's migrate the
check to be dependent on pickaxe_opts.

It is not enough to just replace the check for pickaxe by pickaxe_opts,
because flags might be set, but pickaxing was not requested ('-i').
To cope with that, introduce a mask to check only for the bits indicating
the modes of operation.

d45420c1c8 clone: do not clean up directories we didn't create
Once upon a time, git-clone would refuse to write into a
directory that it did not itself create. The cleanup
routines for a failed clone could therefore just remove the
git and worktree dirs completely.

In 55892d2398 (Allow cloning to an existing empty directory,
2009-01-11), we learned to write into an existing directory.
Which means that doing:

  mkdir foo
  git clone will-fail foo

ends up deleting foo. This isn't a huge catastrophe, since
by definition foo must be empty. But it's somewhat
confusing; we should leave the filesystem as we found it.

Because we know that the only directory we'll write into is
an empty one, we can handle this case by just passing the
KEEP_TOPLEVEL flag to our recursive delete (if we could
write into populated directories, we'd have to keep track of
what we wrote and what we did not, which would be much
harder).

Note that we need to handle the work-tree and git-dir
separately, though, as only one might exist (and the new
tests in t5600 cover all cases).

f9e377adc0 clone: factor out dir_exists() helper
Two parts of git-clone's setup logic check whether a
directory exists, and they both call stat directly with the
same scratch "struct stat" buffer. Let's pull that into a
helper, which has a few advantages:

  - it makes the purpose of the stat calls more obvious

  - it makes it clear that we don't care about the
    information in "buf" remaining valid

  - if we later decide to make the check more robust (e.g.,
    complaining about non-directories), we can do it in one
    place

Note that we could just use file_exists() for this, which
has identical code. But we specifically care about
directories, so this future-proofs us against that function
later getting more picky about seeing actual files.

a9a03fa0d7 checkout: avoid using the rev_info flag leak_pending
The leak_pending flag is so awkward to use that multiple comments had to
be added around each occurrence.  We only use it for remembering the
commits whose marks we have to clear after checking if the old HEAD is
detached.  This is easy, though: We need to do that for the old commit,
the new one -- and for all refs.

Don't bother tracking exactly which commits need their flags cleared,
just nuke all we have in-core.  This change is safe because refs can
point at anything, so other program parts can't depend on any kept flags
anyway.  And since all refs are loaded we have to basically deal with
all commits anyway, so performance should not be negatively impacted.

1bba00130a describe: prepend "tags/" when describing tags with embedded name
The man page of the "git describe" command explains the expected
output when using the --all option, i.e. the full reference path is
shown, including heads/ or tags/ prefix.

When 212945d4a8 ("Teach git-describe
to verify annotated tag names before output") made Git favor the
embedded name of annotated tags, it accidentally changed the output
format when the --all flag is given, only printing the tag's name
without the prefix.

Check if --all was specified and re-add the "tags/" prefix for this
special case to fix the regresssion.

30884c9afc commit: add support for --fixup <commit> -m"<extra message>"
Add support for supplying the -m option with --fixup. Doing so has
errored out ever since --fixup was introduced. Before this, the only
way to amend the fixup message while committing was to use --edit and
amend it in the editor.

The use-case for this feature is one of:

 * Leaving a quick note to self when creating a --fixup commit when
   it's not self-evident why the commit should be squashed without a
   note into another one.

 * (Ab)using the --fixup feature to "fix up" commits that have already
   been pushed to a branch that doesn't allow non-fast-forwards,
   i.e. just noting "this should have been part of that other commit",
   and if the history ever got rewritten in the future the two should
   be combined.

   In such a case you might want to leave a small message,
   e.g. "forgot this part, which broke XYZ".

With this, --fixup <commit> -m"More" -m"Details" will result in a
commit message like:

    !fixup <subject of <commit>>

    More

    Details

The reason the test being added here seems to squash "More" at the end
of the subject line of the commit being fixed up is because the test
code is using "%s%b" so the body immediately follows the subject, it's
not a bug in this code, and other tests t7500-commit.sh do the same
thing.

When the --fixup option was initially added the "Option -m cannot be
combined" error was expanded from -c, -C and -F to also include
--fixup[1]

Those options could also support combining with -m, but given what
they do I can't think of a good use-case for doing that, so I have not
made the more invasive change of splitting up the logic in commit.c to
first act on those, and then on -m options.

An v2.12-era regression in pathspec match logic, which made it look
into submodule tree even when it is not desired, has been fixed.

644eb60bd0 builtin/describe.c: describe a blob
Sometimes users are given a hash of an object and they want to
identify it further (ex.: Use verify-pack to find the largest blobs,
but what are these? or [1])

When describing commits, we try to anchor them to tags or refs, as these
are conceptually on a higher level than the commit. And if there is no ref
or tag that matches exactly, we're out of luck.  So we employ a heuristic
to make up a name for the commit. These names are ambiguous, there might
be different tags or refs to anchor to, and there might be different
path in the DAG to travel to arrive at the commit precisely.

When describing a blob, we want to describe the blob from a higher layer
as well, which is a tuple of (commit, deep/path) as the tree objects
involved are rather uninteresting.  The same blob can be referenced by
multiple commits, so how we decide which commit to use?  This patch
implements a rather naive approach on this: As there are no back pointers
from blobs to commits in which the blob occurs, we'll start walking from
any tips available, listing the blobs in-order of the commit and once we
found the blob, we'll take the first commit that listed the blob. For
example

  git describe --tags v0.99:Makefile
  conversion-901-g7672db20c2:Makefile

tells us the Makefile as it was in v0.99 was introduced in commit 7672db20.

The walking is performed in reverse order to show the introduction of a
blob rather than its last occurrence.

245abe34ac clone, fetch: remove redundant transport check
Prior to commit a2d725b7bd ("Use an external program to implement
fetching with curl", 2009-08-05), if Git was compiled with NO_CURL, the
get_refs_list and fetch methods in struct transport might not be
populated, hence the checks in clone and fetch. After that commit, all
transports populate get_refs_list and fetch, making the checks in clone
and fetch redundant. Remove those checks.
