ff74f7f118 refs.c: move dwim_ref()/dwim_log() from sha1_name.c
Both dwim_ref()/dwim_log() functions are intimately related to the ref
parsing rules defined in refs.c and better fits there. Move them together
with substitute_branch_name(), a file scope static helper function.

8d9c50105f Change check_ref_format() to take a flags argument
Change check_ref_format() to take a flags argument that indicates what
is acceptable in the reference name (analogous to "git
check-ref-format"'s "--allow-onelevel" and "--refspec-pattern").  This
is more convenient for callers and also fixes a failure in the test
suite (and likely elsewhere in the code) by enabling "onelevel" and
"refspec-pattern" to be allowed independently of each other.

Also rename check_ref_format() to check_refname_format() to make it
obvious that it deals with refnames rather than references themselves.

6099835c19 Allow git merge ":/<pattern>"
It probably is not such a good idea to use ":/<pattern>" to specify which
commit to merge, as ":/<pattern>" can often hit unexpected commits, but
somebody tried it and got a nonsense error message:

	fatal: ':/Foo bar' does not point to a commit

So here is a for-the-sake-of-consistency update that is fairly useless
that allows users to carefully try not shooting in the foot.

2e83b66c32 fix overslow :/no-such-string-ever-existed diagnostics
"git cmd :/no-such-string-ever-existed" runs an extra round of get_sha1()
since 009fee4 (Detailed diagnosis when parsing an object name fails.,
2009-12-07).  Once without error diagnosis to see there is no commit with
such a string in the log message (hence "it cannot be a ref"), and after
seeing that :/no-such-string-ever-existed is not a filename (hence "it
cannot be a path, either"), another time to give "better diagnosis".

The thing is, the second time it runs, we already know that traversing the
history all the way down to the root will _not_ find any matching commit.

Rename misguided "gently" parameter, which is turned off _only_ when the
"detailed diagnosis" codepath knows that it cannot be a ref and making the
call only for the caller to die with a message.  Flip its meaning (and
adjust the callers) and call it "only_to_die", which is not a great name,
but it describes far more clearly what the codepaths that switches their
behaviour based on this variable do.

On my box, the command spends ~1.8 seconds without the patch to make the
report; with the patch it spends ~1.12 seconds.

9619617d33 fix overstrict :<path> diagnosis
Given "git log :", we get a disambiguation message that tries to be
helpful and yet totally misses the point, i.e.

    $ git log :
    fatal: Path '' does not exist (neither on disk nor in the index).
    $ git log :/
    fatal: Path '/' exists on disk, but not in the index.

An empty path nor anything that begins with '/' cannot possibly in the
index, and it is wrong to guess that the user might have meant to access
such an index entry.

It should yield the same error message as "git log '*.c'", i.e.

    $ git log '*.c'
    fatal: ambiguous argument '*.c': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
    Use '--' to separate paths from revisions

28042dbcd6 get_sha1_oneline: fix lifespan rule of temp_commit_buffer variable
This is trying to free only what we ourselves read (as opposed to what
we borrowed from commit->buffer) but do so lazily only to work around
the fact that the code has many irregular exit points, and doing it right
makes it necessary to call free() from many different places in the loop.

Rewrite the structure of the code inside the loop so that the variable
has to live within a single iteration, ever.  This should make the logic
easier to follow as well.

Also we didn't free a temporary commit list we kept to hold the original
set of commits.  Free it.

Currently :path and ref:path can be used to refer to a specific object
in index or ref respectively. "path" component is absolute path. This
patch allows "path" to be written as "./path" or "../path", which is
relative to user's original cwd.

This does not work in commands for which startup_info is NULL
(i.e. non-builtin ones, it seems none of them needs this anyway).

Even though git makes sure that it uses enough hexdigits to show an
abbreviated object name unambiguously, as more objects are added to the
repository over time, a short name that used to be unique will stop being
unique.  Git uses this many extra hexdigits that are more than necessary
to make the object name currently unique, in the hope that its output will
stay unique a bit longer.

f7bff00314 sha1_name.c: fix parsing of ":/token" syntax
The parser tried to clean up the object flags it used while finding
commits with matching string, but was not doing a very good job at it.

This caused "checkout -b new ':/token'", which internally tries to parse
':/token' twice as an object name, to fail when the commit in question
was reachable from only one ref.

The mask bits given to pop_most_recent_commit(&list, MASK) means "I have
already been on the list to be processed, so please do not place me again
even if I am found to be a parent of some other commit on the list."  So
mark them when we add them to the list at the beginning.

003c6abdb2 dwim_ref: fix dangling symref warning
If we encounter a symref that is dangling, in most cases we will warn
about it. The one exception is a dangling HEAD, as that indicates a
branch yet to be born.

However, the check in dwim_ref was not quite right. If we were fed
something like "HEAD^0" we would try to resolve "HEAD", see that it is
dangling, and then check whether the _original_ string we got was
"HEAD" (which it wasn't in this case). And that makes no sense; the
dangling thing we found was not "HEAD^0" but rather "HEAD".

Fixing this squelches a scary warning from "submodule summary HEAD" (and
consequently "git status" with status.submodulesummary set) in an empty
repo, as the submodule script calls "git rev-parse -q --verify HEAD^0".

93cfa7c7a8 approxidate_careful() reports errorneous date string
For a long time, the time based reflog syntax (e.g. master@{yesterday})
didn't complain when the "human readable" timestamp was misspelled, as
the underlying mechanism tried to be as lenient as possible.  The funny
thing was that parsing of "@{now}" even relied on the fact that anything
not recognized by the machinery returned the current timestamp.

Introduce approxidate_careful() that takes an optional pointer to an
integer, that gets assigned 1 when the input does not make sense as a
timestamp.

As I am too lazy to fix all the callers that use approxidate(), most of
the callers do not take advantage of the error checking, but convert the
code to parse reflog to use it as a demonstration.

Tests are mostly from Jeff King.

ae0ba8e20a Teach @{upstream} syntax to strbuf_branchanme()
This teaches @{upstream} syntax to interpret_branch_name(), instead

There are places in git UI that behaves differently when you give a local
branch name and when you give an extended SHA-1 expression that evaluates
to the commit object name at the tip of the branch.  The intent is that
the special syntax such as @{-1} can stand in as if the user spelled the
name of the branch in such places.

The name of the branch "frotz" to switch to ("git checkout frotz"), and
the name of the branch "nitfol" to fork a new branch "frotz" from ("git
checkout -b frotz nitfol"), are examples of such places.  These places
take only the name of the branch (e.g. "frotz"), and they are supposed to
act differently to an equivalent refname (e.g. "refs/heads/frotz"), so
hooking the @{upstream} and @{-N} syntax to dwim_ref() is insufficient
when we want to deal with cases a local branch is forked from another
local branch and use "forked@{upstream}" to name the forkee branch.

The "upstream" syntax "forked@{u}" is to specify the ref that "forked" is
configured to merge with, and most often the forkee is a remote tracking
branch, not a local branch.  We cannot simply return a local branch name,
but that does not necessarily mean we have to returns the full refname
(e.g. refs/remotes/origin/frotz, when returning origin/frotz is enough).
This update calls shorten_unambiguous_ref() to do so.

28fb84382b Introduce <branch>@{upstream} notation
A new notation '<branch>@{upstream}' refers to the branch <branch> is set
to build on top of.  Missing <branch> (i.e. '@{upstream}') defaults to the
current branch.

This allows you to run, for example,

	for l in list of local branches
	do
		git log --oneline --left-right $l...$l@{upstream}
	done

to inspect each of the local branches you are interested in for the
divergence from its upstream.

009fee4774 Detailed diagnosis when parsing an object name fails.
The previous error message was the same in many situations (unknown
revision or path not in the working tree). We try to help the user as
much as possible to understand the error, especially with the
sha1:filename notation. In this case, we say whether the sha1 or the
filename is problematic, and diagnose the confusion between
relative-to-root and relative-to-$PWD confusion precisely.

The 7 new error messages are tested.
