674468b364 remote: simplify remote_is_configured()
The remote_is_configured() function allows checking whether a remote
exists or not.  The function however only works if remote_get() wasn't
called before calling it.  In addition, it only checks the configuration
for remotes, but not remotes or branches files.

Make use of the origin member of struct remote instead, which indicates
where the remote comes from.  It will be set to some value if the remote
is configured in any file in the repository, but is initialized to 0 if
the remote is only created in make_remote().

bc60f8a77c remote: use parse_config_key
95b567c7 ("use skip_prefix to avoid repeating strings") transformed
calls using starts_with() and then skipping the length of the prefix to
skip_prefix() calls.  In remote.c there are a few calls like:

  if (starts_with(foo, "bar"))
      foo += 3

These calls weren't touched by the aformentioned commit, but can be
replaced by calls to parse_config_key(), to simplify the code and
clarify the intentions.  Do that.

0b6641557c git-svn: fix auth parameter handling on SVN 1.9.0+
For users with "store-passwords = no" set in the "[auth]" section of
their ~/.subversion/config, SVN 1.9.0+ would fail with the
following message when attempting to call svn_auth_set_parameter:

  Value is not a string (or undef) at Git/SVN/Ra.pm

Ironically, this breakage was caused by r1553823 in subversion:

  "Make svn_auth_set_parameter() usable from Perl bindings."

Since 2007 (602015e0e6), git-svn has used a workaround to make
svn_auth_set_parameter usable internally.  However this workaround
breaks under SVN 1.9+, which deals properly with the type mapping
and fails to recognize our workaround.

For pre-1.9.0 SVN, we continue to use the existing workaround for
the lack of proper type mapping in the bindings.

Tested under subversion 1.6.17 and 1.9.3.

I've also verified r1553823 was not backported to SVN 1.8.x:

  BRANCH=http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/branches/1.8.x
  svn log -v $BRANCH/subversion/bindings/swig/core.i

0571979bd6 tag: do not show ambiguous tag names as "tags/foo"
Since b7cc53e9 (tag.c: use 'ref-filter' APIs, 2015-07-11),
git-tag has started showing tags with ambiguous names (i.e.,
when both "heads/foo" and "tags/foo" exists) as "tags/foo"
instead of just "foo". This is both:

  - pointless; the output of "git tag" includes only
    refs/tags, so we know that "foo" means the one in
    "refs/tags".

and

  - ambiguous; in the original output, we know that the line
    "foo" means that "refs/tags/foo" exists. In the new
    output, it is unclear whether we mean "refs/tags/foo" or
    "refs/tags/tags/foo".

The reason this happens is that commit b7cc53e9 switched
git-tag to use ref-filter's "%(refname:short)" output
formatting, which was adapted from for-each-ref. This more
general code does not know that we care only about tags, and
uses shorten_unambiguous_ref to get the short-name. We need
to tell it that we care only about "refs/tags/", and it
should shorten with respect to that value.

In theory, the ref-filter code could figure this out by us
passing FILTER_REFS_TAGS. But there are two complications
there:

  1. The handling of refname:short is deep in formatting
     code that does not even have our ref_filter struct, let
     alone the arguments to the filter_ref struct.

  2. In git v2.7.0, we expose the formatting language to the
     user. If we follow this path, it will mean that
     "%(refname:short)" behaves differently for "tag" versus
     "for-each-ref" (including "for-each-ref refs/tags/"),
     which can lead to confusion.

Instead, let's add a new modifier to the formatting
language, "strip", to remove a specific set of prefix
components. This fixes "git tag", and lets users invoke the
same behavior from their own custom formats (for "tag" or
"for-each-ref") while leaving ":short" with its same
consistent meaning in all places.

We introduce a test in t7004 for "git tag", which fails
without this patch. We also add a similar test in t3203 for
"git branch", which does not actually fail. But since it is
likely that "branch" will eventually use the same formatting
code, the test helps defend against future regressions.

372370f167 http: use credential API to handle proxy authentication
Currently, the only way to pass proxy credentials to curl is by including them
in the proxy URL. Usually, this means they will end up on disk unencrypted, one
way or another (by inclusion in ~/.gitconfig, shell profile or history). Since
proxy authentication often uses a domain user, credentials can be security
sensitive; therefore, a safer way of passing credentials is desirable.

If the configured proxy contains a username but not a password, query the
credential API for one. Also, make sure we approve/reject proxy credentials
properly.

For consistency reasons, add parsing of http_proxy/https_proxy/all_proxy
environment variables, which would otherwise be evaluated as a fallback by curl.
Without this, we would have different semantics for git configuration and
environment variables.

with a 307 redirect to an error page instead of a 407 listing supported
authentication methods. Therefore, allow the authentication method to be set

variables http.proxyAuthmethod and remote.<name>.proxyAuthmethod (in analogy
to http.proxy and remote.<name>.proxy).

The following values are supported:

6272ed3194 travis-ci: run previously failed tests first, then slowest to fastest
The Travis-CI machines are in a clean state in the beginning of every run
(transient by default). Use the Travis-CI cache feature to make the prove
state persistent across consecutive Travis-CI runs on the same branch.
This allows to run previously failed tests first and run remaining tests
in slowest to fastest order. As a result it is less likely that Travis-CI
needs to wait for a single test at the end which speeds up the test suite
execution by ~2 min.

Travis-CI can only cache entire directories. Prove stores the .prove file
always in the t/ directory but we don't want to cache the entire t/ directory.
Therefore we create a symlink from $HOME/travis-cache/.prove to t/.prove and
cache the $HOME/travis-cache directory.

Unfortunately the cache feature is only available (for free) on the
Travis-CI Linux environment.

compat/mingw.h: In function 'mingw_skip_dos_drive_prefix':
compat/mingw.h:365: warning: implicit declaration of function 'isalpha'

Dscho does not see a similar warning in his build and suspects that
ctype.h is included somehow behind the scenes. This implies that his build
links to the C library's isalpha() and does not use git's isalpha().

To fix both the warning in my build and the inconsistency in Dscho's
build, move the function definition to mingw.c. Then it picks up git's
isalpha() because git-compat-util.h is included at the top of the file.

1d094db936 t6300: use test_atom for some un-modern tests
Because this script has to test so many formatters, we have
the nice "test_atom" helper, but we don't use it
consistently. Let's do so. This is shorter, gets rid of some
tests that have their "expected" setup outside of a
test_expect_success block, and lets us organize the changes
better (e.g., putting "refname:short" near "refname").

We also expand the "%(push)" tests a little to match the
"%(upstream)" ones.

a2d5156c2b resolve_gitlink_ref: ignore non-repository paths
When we want to look up a submodule ref, we use
get_ref_cache(path) to find or auto-create its ref cache.
But if we feed a path that isn't actually a git repository,
we blindly create the ref cache, and then may die deeper in
the code when we try to access it. This is a problem because
many callers speculatively feed us a path that looks vaguely
like a repository, and expect us to tell them when it is
not.

This patch teaches resolve_gitlink_ref to reject
non-repository paths without creating a ref_cache. This
avoids the die(), and also performs better if you have a
large number of these faux-submodule directories (because
the ref_cache lookup is linear, under the assumption that
there won't be a large number of submodules).

To accomplish this, we also break get_ref_cache into two
pieces: the lookup and auto-creation (the latter is lumped
into create_ref_cache). This lets us first cheaply ask our
cache "is it a submodule we know about?" If so, we can avoid
repeating our filesystem lookup. So lookups of real
submodules are not penalized; they examine the submodule's
.git directory only once.

The test in t3000 demonstrates a case where this improves
correctness (we used to just die). The new perf case in
p7300 shows off the speed improvement in an admittedly
pathological repository:

Test                  HEAD^               HEAD
----------------------------------------------------------------
7300.4: ls-files -o   66.97(66.15+0.87)   0.33(0.08+0.24) -99.5%

ffd036b128 clean: make is_git_repository a public function
We have always had is_git_directory(), for looking at a
specific directory to see if it contains a git repo. In
0179ca7 (clean: improve performance when removing lots of
directories, 2015-06-15), we added is_git_repository() which
checks for a non-bare repository by looking at its ".git"
entry.

However, the fix in 0179ca7 needs to be applied other
places, too. Let's make this new helper globally available.
We need to give it a better name, though, to avoid confusion
with is_git_directory(). This patch does that, documents
both functions with a comment to reduce confusion, and
removes the clean-specific references in the comments.
