This patch tries to make the description of --auto a little
more clear for new users, especially those referred by the
"git-gc --auto" notification message.
It also cleans up some grammatical errors and typos in the
original description, as well as rewording for clarity.

The previous message had too much of a "boy, you should
really turn off this annoying gc" flair to it. Instead,
let's make sure the user understands what is happening, that
they can run it themselves, and where to find more info.

git-stash needs to restrict itself to plumbing when running automated
diffs as part of its operation as the user may have configured a
custom diff driver that opens an interactive UI for certain/all
files. Doing that during scripted actions is very unfriendly to
the end-user and may cause git-stash to fail to work.

Ok, what is going on is:
- append_fetch_head() looks up the SHA1 for all heads (including tags):
if (get_sha1(head, sha1))
return error("Not a valid object name: %s", head);
- it then wants to check if it's a candidate for merging (because
fetching also does the whole "list which heads to merge" in case
it is going to be part of a "pull"):
commit = lookup_commit_reference(sha1);
if (!commit)
not_for_merge = 1;
- and that "lookup_commit_reference()" is just very vocal about the
case where it fails. It really shouldn't be, and it shouldn't
affect the actual end result, but that basically explains why
you get that scary warning.
In short, the warning is just bogus, and should be harmless, but
I agree that it's ugly. I think the appended patch should fix it.

This commit adds a mechanism to provide absolute paths to the
external programs called by 'git mergetool'. A path can be
specified in the configuation variable mergetool.<tool>.path.
The configuration variable is similar to how we name branches
and remotes. It is extensible if we need to specify more details
about a tool.
The mechanism is especially useful on Windows, where external
programs are unlikely to be in PATH.

Previously, we updated the tracking refs (which match refs we
are pushing) while generating the list of refs to send.
However, at that point we don't know whether the refs were
accepted.
Instead, we now wait until we get a response code from the
server. If an error was indicated, we don't update any local
tracking refs. Technically some refs could have been updated
on the remote, but since the local ref update is just an
optimization to avoid an extra fetch, we are better off
erring on the side of correctness.
The user-visible message is now generated much later in the
program, and has been tweaked to make more sense.

If we are in the middle of resolving a merge conflict there may be
one or more files whose entries in the index represent an unmerged
state (index entries in the higher-order stages).
Attempting to run git-blame on any file in such a working directory
resulted in "fatal: internal error: ce_mode is 0" as we use the magic
marker for an unmerged entry is 0 (set up by things like diff-lib.c's
do_diff_cache() and builtin-read-tree.c's read_tree_unmerged())
and the ce_match_stat_basic() function gets upset about this.
I'm not entirely sure that the whole "ce_mode = 0" case is a good
idea to begin with, and maybe the right thing to do is to remove
that horrid freakish special case, but removing the internal error
seems to be the simplest fix for now.

Now that some pointers have lost their const attribute, we can free their

Two functions, namely write_idx_file() and open_pack_file(), currently
return a const pointer. However that pointer is either a copy of the
first argument, or set to a malloc'd buffer when that first argument
is null. In the later case it is wrong to qualify that pointer as const
since ownership of the buffer is transferred to the caller to dispose of,
and obviously the free() function is not meant to be passed const
pointers.
Making the return pointer not const causes a warning when the first
argument is returned since that argument is also marked const.
The correct thing to do is therefore to remove the const qualifiers,
avoiding the need for ugly casts only to silence some warnings.
