ac1fbbda20 submodule: do not copy unknown update mode from .gitmodules
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.

ce2c58cdaa gitk: Recognize -L option
This gives line-log support to gitk, by exploiting the new support for
processing and showing "inline" diffs straight from the git-log
output.

Note that we 'set allknown 0', which is a bit counterintuitive since
this is a "known" option.  But that flag prevents gitk from thinking
it can optimize the view by running rev-list to see the topology; in
the -L case that doesn't work.

9403bd02dd gitk: Support showing the gathered inline diffs
The previous commit split the diffs into a separate field.  Now we
actually want to show them.

To that end we use the stored diff, and

- process it once to build a fake "tree diff", i.e., a list of all
  changed files;

- feed it through parseblobdiffline to actually format it into the
  $ctext field, like the existing diff machinery would.

b449eb2cb3 gitk: Split out diff part in $commitinfo
So far we just parsed everything after the headers into the "comment"
bit of $commitinfo, including notes and -- if you gave weird options
-- the diff.

Split out the diff, if any, into a separate field.  It's easy to
recognize, since it always starts with /^diff/ and is preceded by an
empty line.

We take care to snip away said empty line.  The display code already
properly spaces the end of the message from the first diff, and
leaving another empty line at the end looks ugly.

7c801fbc74 Documentation: revamp git-cherry(1)
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
we support having several, so let's not confuse new users
here, especially considering that git-config(1) does not
document this.

11d62145b9 remove #!interpreter line from shell libraries
In a shell snippet meant to be sourced by other shell scripts, an
opening #! line does more harm than good.

The harm:

 - When the shell library is sourced, the interpreter and options from
   the #! line are not used.  Specifying a particular shell can
   confuse the reader into thinking it is safe for the shell library
   to rely on idiosyncrasies of that shell.

 - Using #! instead of a plain comment drops a helpful visual clue
   that this is a shell library and not a self-contained script.

 - Tools such as lintian can use a #! line to tell when an
   installation script has failed by forgetting to set a script
   executable.  This check does not work if shell libraries also start
   with a #! line.

The good:

 - Text editors notice the #! line and use it for syntax highlighting
   if you try to edit the installed scripts (without ".sh" suffix) in
   place.

The use of the #! for file type detection is not needed because Git's
shell libraries are meant to be edited in source form (with ".sh"
suffix).  Replace the opening #! lines with comments.

This involves tweaking the test harness's valgrind support to find
shell libraries by looking for "# " in the first line instead of "#!"
(see v1.7.6-rc3~7, 2011-06-17).

Suggested by Russ Allbery through lintian.  Thanks to Jeff King and
Clemens Buchacher for further analysis.

Tested by searching for non-executable scripts with #! line:

	find . -name .git -prune -o -type f -not -executable |
	while read file
	do
		read line <"$file"
		case $line in
		'#!'*)
			echo "$file"
			;;
		esac
	done

The only remaining scripts found are templates for shell scripts
(unimplemented.sh, wrap-for-bin.sh) and sample input used in tests
(t/t4034/perl/{pre,post}).

c74c72034f test: replace shebangs with descriptions in shell libraries
A #! line in these files is misleading, since these scriptlets are
meant to be sourced with '.' (using whatever shell sources them)
instead of run directly using the interpreter named on the #! line.

Removing the #! line shouldn't hurt syntax highlighting since
these files have filenames ending with '.sh'.  For documentation,
add a brief description of how the files are meant to be used in
place of the shebang line.

30a3318ac0 contrib: remove git-p4import
The git p4import documentation has suggested git p4 as a better
alternative for more than 6 years.  (According to the mailing list
discussion when it was moved to contrib/, git-p4import has serious
bugs --- e.g., its incremental mode just doesn't work.) Since then,
git p4 has been actively developed and was promoted to a standard git
command alongside git svn.

Searches on google.com/trends and stackoverflow suggest that no one is
looking for git-p4import any more.  Remove it.

Noticed while considering marking the contrib/p4import/git-p4import.py
script executable as part of a wider sweep.

2e820ba9bc mark contributed hooks executable
The docs in contrib/hooks/pre-auto-gc-battery suggest:

	For example, if the hook is stored in
	/usr/share/git-core/contrib/hooks/pre-auto-gc-battery:

	chmod a+x pre-auto-gc-battery
	cd /path/to/your/repository.git
	ln -sf /usr/share/git-core/contrib/hooks/pre-auto-gc-battery \
	     hooks/pre-auto-gc

Unfortunately on multi-user systems most users do not have write
access to /usr.  Better to mark the sample hooks executable in
the first place so users do not have to tweak their permissions to
use them by symlinking into .git/hooks/.

b039718d92 drop support for "experimental" loose objects
In git v1.4.3, we introduced a new loose object format that
encoded some object information outside of the zlib stream.
Ultimately the format was dropped in v1.5.3, but we kept the
reading side around to help people migrate objects. Each
time we open a loose object, we use a heuristic to check
whether it is in the normal loose format, or the
experimental one.

This heuristic is robust in the face of valid data, but it
tends to treat corrupted or garbage data as an experimental
object. With the regular format, we would notice quickly
that zlib's crc does not check out and complain. With the
experimental object, we are likely to extract a nonsensical
object size and try to allocate a huge buffer, resulting in
xmalloc calling "die".

This latter behavior is much worse, for two reasons. One,
git reports an allocation error when the real error is
corruption. And two, the program dies unconditionally, so
you cannot even run fsck (which would otherwise ignore the
broken object and keep going).

We could try to improve the heuristic to err on the side of
normal objects in the face of corruption, but there is
really little point. The experimental format is long-dead,
and was never enabled by default to begin with. We can
instead simply remove it. The only affected repository would
be one that explicitly set core.legacyheaders in 2007, and
then never repacked in the intervening 6 years.
