3c02396adc Make git-{pull,rebase} message without tracking information friendlier
The current message is too long and at too low a level for anybody
to understand it if they don't know about the configuration format
already.

The text about setting up a remote is superfluous and doesn't help
understand or recover from the error that has happened.  Show the
usage more prominently and explain how to set up the tracking
information. If there is only one remote, that name is used instead
of the generic <remote>.

Also simplify the message we print on detached HEAD to remove
unnecessary information which is better left for the documentation.

4dce7d9b40 submodules: fix ambiguous absolute paths under Windows
Under Windows the "git rev-parse --git-dir" and "pwd" commands may return
either drive-letter-colon or POSIX style paths. This makes module_clone()
behave badly because it expects absolute paths to always start with a '/'.

Fix that by always converting the "c:/" notation into "/c/" when computing
the relative paths from gitdir to the submodule work tree and back.

69c3051780 submodules: refactor computation of relative gitdir path
In module_clone() the rel_gitdir variable was computed differently when
"git rev-parse --git-dir" returned a relative path than when it returned
an absolute path. This is not optimal, as different code paths are used
depending on the return value of that command.

Fix that by reusing the differing path components computed for setting the
core.worktree config setting, which leaves a single code path for setting
both instead of having three and makes the code much shorter.

This also fixes the bug that in the computation of how many directories
have to be traversed up to hit the root directory of the submodule the
name of the submodule was used where the path should have been used. This
lead to problems after renaming submodules into another directory level.

Even though the "(cd $somewhere && pwd)" approach breaks the flexibility
of symlinks, that is no issue here as we have to have one relative path
pointing from the work tree to the gitdir and another pointing back, which
will never work anyway when a symlink along one of those paths is changed
because the directory it points to was moved.

Also add a test moving a submodule into a deeper directory to catch any
future breakage here and to document what has to be done when a submodule
needs to be moved until git mv learns to do that. Simply moving it to the
new location doesn't work, as the core.worktree and possibly the gitfile
setting too will be wrong. So it has to be removed from filesystem and
index, then the new location has to be added into the index and the
.gitmodules file has to be updated. After that a git submodule update will
check out the submodule at the new location.

d75219b4a8 submodules: always use a relative path from gitdir to work tree
Since recently a submodule with name <name> has its git directory in the
.git/modules/<name> directory of the superproject while the work tree
contains a gitfile pointing there. To make that work the git directory has
the core.worktree configuration set in its config file to point back to
the work tree.

That core.worktree is an absolute path set by the initial clone of the
submodule. A relative path is preferable here because it allows the
superproject to be moved around without invalidating that setting, so
compute and set that relative path after cloning or reactivating the
submodule.

This also fixes a bug when moving a submodule around inside the
superproject, as the current code forgot to update the setting to the new
submodule work tree location.

Enhance t7400 to ensure that future versions won't re-add absolute paths
by accident and that moving a superproject won't break submodules.

ea115a0d43 submodules: always use a relative path to gitdir
Since recently a submodule with name <name> has its git directory in the
.git/modules/<name> directory of the superproject while the work tree
contains a gitfile pointing there. When the submodule git directory needs
to be cloned because it is not found in .git/modules/<name> the clone
command will write an absolute path into the gitfile. When no clone is
necessary the git directory will be reactivated by the git-submodule.sh
script by writing a relative path into the gitfile.

This is inconsistent, as the behavior depends on the submodule having been
cloned before into the .git/modules of the superproject. A relative path
is preferable here because it allows the superproject to be moved around
without invalidating the gitfile. We do that by always writing the
relative path into the gitfile, which overwrites the absolute path the
clone command may have written there.

This is only the first step to make superprojects movable again like they
were before the separate-git-dir approach was introduced. The second step
is to use a relative path in core.worktree too.

Enhance t7400 to ensure that future versions won't re-add absolute paths
by accident.

While at it also replace an if/else construct evaluating the presence
of the 'reference' option with a single line of bash code.

f1589d1007 ctype.c: Fix a sparse warning
In particular, sparse complains as follows:

        SP ctype.c
    ctype.c:30:12: warning: symbol 'tolower_trans_tbl' was not declared.\
         Should it be static?

An appropriate extern declaration for the 'tolower_trans_tbl' symbol
is included in the "cache.h" header file. In order to suppress the
warning, therefore, we could replace the "git-compat-util.h" header
inclusion with "cache.h", since "cache.h" includes "git-compat-util.h"
in turn. Here, however, we choose to move the extern declaration for
'tolower_trans_tbl' into "git-compat-util.h", alongside the other
extern declaration from ctype.c for 'sane_ctype'.

b2c8c6d944 http.proxy: also mention https_proxy and all_proxy
The current wording of the http.proxy documentation suggests that
http_proxy is somehow equivalent to http.proxy. However, while
http.proxy (by the means of curl's CURLOPT_PROXY option) overrides the
proxy for both HTTP and HTTPS protocols, the http_proxy environment
variable is used only for HTTP. But since the docs mention only
http_proxy, a user might expect it to apply to all HTTP-like protocols.

Avoid any such misunderstanding by explicitly mentioning https_proxy and
all_proxy as well.

Also replace linkgit:curl[1] with a literal 'curl(1)', because the
former gets translated to a dead link in the HTML pages.

leading dash, we currently detect and report that fact if its first

78ed1d2d63 t0300: work around bug in dash 0.5.6
The construct 'while IFS== read' makes dash 0.5.6 execute
read without changing IFS, which results in test breakages
all over the place in t0300.  Neither dash 0.5.5.1 and older
nor dash 0.5.7 and newer are affected: The problem was
introduded resp. fixed by the commits

  55c46b7 ([BUILTIN] Honor tab as IFS whitespace when
           splitting fields in readcmd, 2009-08-11)

  1d806ac ([VAR] Do not poplocalvars prematurely on regular
           utilities, 2010-05-27)

in http://git.kernel.org/?p=utils/dash/dash.git

Putting 'IFS==' before that line makes all versions of dash
work.

This looks like a dash bug, not a misinterpretation of the
standard. However, it's worth working around for two
reasons. One, this version of dash was released in Fedora
14-16, so the bug is found in the wild. And two, at least
one other shell, Solaris /bin/sh, choked on this by
persisting IFS after the read invocation. That is not a
shell we usually care about, and I think this use of IFS is
acceptable by POSIX (which allows other behavior near
"special builtins", but "read" is not one of those). But it
seems that this may be a subtle, not-well-tested case for
some shells. Given that the workaround is so simple, it's
worth just being defensive.

1b5b2b641a t0000: modernise style
Match the style to more modern test scripts, namely:

 - Prefer tabs for indentation.

 - The first line of each test has prereq, title and opening sq for the
   script body.

 - Move cleanup or initialization of data used by a test inside the test
   itself.

 - Put a newline before the closing sq for each test.

 - Don't conclude the test descriptions with a full stop.

 - Prefer 'test_line_count = COUNT FILE' over 'test $(wc -l <FILE) = COUNT'

 - Prefer 'test_line_count = 0 FILE' over 'cmp -s /dev/null FILE'

 - Use '<<-EOF' style for here documents, so that they can be indented
   as well.  Bot don't do that in case the resulting lines would be too
   long.  Also when there is no $variable_substitution in the body of a
   here document, quote \EOF.

 - Don't redirect the output of commands to /dev/null unconditionally,
   the git testing framework should already take care of handling test
   verbosity transparently and uniformly.

661bfd13b4 tests: fix spurious error when run directly with Solaris /usr/xpg4/bin/sh
If any test script is run directly with Solaris 10 /usr/xpg4/bin/sh or
/bin/ksh, it fails spuriously with a message like:

  t0000-basic.sh[31]: unset: bad argument count

This happens because those shells bail out when encountering a call to
"unset" with no arguments, and such unset call could take place in
'test-lib.sh'.  Fix that issue, and add a proper comment to ensure we
don't regress in this respect.

dd6139971a http: support proxies that require authentication
When the proxy server specified by the http.proxy configuration or the
http_proxy environment variable requires authentication, git failed to
connect to the proxy, because we did not configure the cURL handle with
CURLOPT_PROXYAUTH.

When a proxy is in use, and you tell git that the proxy requires
authentication by having username in the http.proxy configuration, an
extra request needs to be made to the proxy to find out what
authentication method it supports, as this patch uses CURLAUTH_ANY to let
the library pick the most secure method supported by the proxy server.

The extra round-trip adds extra latency, but relieves the user from the
burden to configure a specific authentication method.  If it becomes
problem, a later patch could add a configuration option to specify what
method to use, but let's start simple for the time being.

efe4be1249 bundle: keep around names passed to add_pending_object()
The 'name' field passed to add_pending_object() is used to later
deduplicate in object_array_remove_duplicates().

git-bundle had a bug in this area since 18449ab (git-bundle: avoid
packing objects which are in the prerequisites, 2007-03-08): it passed
the name of each boundary object in a static buffer.  In other words,
all that object_array_remove_duplicates() saw was the name of the
*last* added boundary object.

The recent switch to a strbuf in bc2fed4 (bundle: use a strbuf to scan
the log for boundary commits, 2012-02-22) made this slightly worse: we
now free the buffer at the end, so it is not even guaranteed that it
still points into addressable memory by the time object_array_remove_
duplicates looks at it.  On the plus side however, it was now
detectable by valgrind.

The fix is easy: pass a copy of the string to add_pending_object.

61821aaa12 t5510: refactor bundle->pack conversion
It's not so much a conversion as a "strip everything up to and
including the first blank line", but it will come in handy again.

b3f01ff29f diff -p: squelch "diff --git" header for stat-dirty paths
The plumbing "diff" commands look at the working tree files without
refreshing the index themselves for performance reasons (the calling
script is expected to do that upfront just once, before calling one or
more of them).  In the early days of git, they showed the "diff --git"
header before they actually ask the xdiff machinery to produce patches,
and ended up showing only these headers if the real contents are the same
and the difference they noticed was only because the stat info cached in
the index did not match that of the working tree. It was too late for the
implementation to take the header that it already emitted back.

But 3e97c7c (No diff -b/-w output for all-whitespace changes, 2009-11-19)
introduced necessary logic to keep the meta-information headers in a
strbuf and delay their output until the xdiff machinery noticed actual
changes. This was primarily in order to generate patches that ignore
whitespaces. When operating under "-w" mode, we wouldn't know if the
header is needed until we actually look at the resulting patch, so it was
a sensible thing to do, but we did not realize that the same reasoning
applies to stat-dirty paths.

Later, 296c6bb (diff: fix "git show -C -C" output when renaming a binary
file, 2010-05-26) generalized this machinery and added must_show_header
toggle.  This is turned on when the header must be shown even when there
is no patch to be produced, e.g. only the mode was changed, or the path
was renamed, without changing the contents.  However, when it did so, it
still kept the special case for the "-w" mode, which meant that the
plumbing would keep showing these phantom changes.

This corrects this historical inconsistency by allowing the plumbing to
omit paths that are only stat-dirty from its output in the same way as it
handles whitespace only changes under "-w" option.

The change in the behaviour can be seen in the updated test.

5597e84b51 t4011: illustrate "diff-index -p" on stat-dirty paths
The plumbing that looks at the working tree, i.e. "diff-index" and
"diff-files", always emit the "diff --git a/path b/path" header lines
without anything else for paths that are only stat-dirty (i.e. different
only because the cached stat information in the index no longer matches
that of the working tree, but the real contents are the same), when
these commands are run with "-p" option to produce patches.

Illustrate this current behaviour.  Also demonstrate that with the "-w"
option, we (correctly) hold off showing a "diff --git" header until actual
differences have been found.  This also suppresses the header for merely
stat-dirty files, which is inconsistent.
