401857c4c6 imap-send: link against libcrypto for HMAC and others
When using stricter linkers, such as GNU gold or Darwin ld, transitive
dependencies are not counted towards symbol resolution. If we don't link
imap-send to libcrypto, we'll have undefined references to the HMAC_*,
EVP_* and ERR_* functions families.

83acaaec12 git-send-email.perl: Deduplicate "to:" and "cc:" entries with names
If an email address in the "to:" list is in the style
"First Last <email@domain.tld>", ie: not just a bare
address like "email@domain.tld", and the same named
entry style exists in the "cc:" list, the current
logic will not remove the entry from the "cc:" list.

Add logic to better deduplicate the "cc:" list by also
matching the email address with angle brackets.

172b6428d0 do not overwrite untracked during merge from unborn branch
In case HEAD does not point to a valid commit yet, merge is
implemented as a hard reset. This will cause untracked files to be
overwritten.

Instead, assume the empty tree for HEAD and do a regular merge. An
untracked file will cause the merge to abort and do nothing. If no
conflicting files are present, the merge will have the same effect
as a hard reset.

2d502e1f37 apply: handle patches with funny filename and colon in timezone
Some patches have a timezone formatted like '-08:00' instead of
'-0800' in their ---/+++ lines (e.g. http://lwn.net/Articles/131729/).
Take this into account when searching for the start of the timezone
(which is the end of the filename).

This does not actually affect the outcome of patching unless (1) a
file being patched has a non-' ' whitespace character (e.g., tab) in
its filename, or (2) the patch is whitespace-damaged, so the tab
between filename and timestamp has been replaced with spaces.

0fe802d480 docs: give more hints about how "add -e" works
The previous text was not exactly accurate; it is OK to
change space and minus lines, but only in certain ways.

This patch takes a whole new approach, which is to describe
the sorts of conceptual operations you might want to
perform. It also includes a healthy dose of warnings about
how things can go wrong.

Since the size of the text is getting quite long, it also
splits this out into an "editing patches" section. This
makes more sense with the current structure, anyway, which
already splits out the interactive mode description.

60aa9cf8f3 Documentation: document show -s
Git's diff machinery has supported a -s (silence diff output) option
as far back as v0.99~900 (Silent flag for show-diff, 2005-04-13), but
the option is only advertised in an odd corner of the git diff-tree
manual.

The main use is to retrieve basic metadata about a commit:

	git show -s rev

Explain this in the 'git log' manual and provide an example in the
'git show' examples section.  This is kind of a cop-out, since it
would be more useful to explain it in the 'git show' manual proper,
which says:

	The command takes options applicable to the git
	diff-tree command to control how the changes the
	commit introduces are shown.

	This manual page describes only the most frequently
	used options.

Fixing that is a larger task for another day.

24305cd700 apply: don't segfault on binary files with missing data
Usually when applying a binary diff generated without
--binary, it will be rejected early, as we don't even have
the full sha1 of the pre- and post-images.

However, if the diff is generated with --full-index (but not
--binary), then we will actually try to apply it. If we have
the postimage blob, then we can take a shortcut and never
even look at the binary diff at all (e.g., this can happen
when rebasing changes within a repository).

If we don't have the postimage blob, though, we try to look
at the actual fragments, of which there are none, and get a
segfault. This patch checks explicitly for that case and
complains to the user instead of segfaulting. We need to
keep the check at a low level so that the "shortcut" case
above continues to work.

We also add a test that demonstrates the segfault. While
we're at it, let's also explicitly test the shortcut case.

71064a956b make pack-objects a bit more resilient to repo corruption
Right now, packing valid objects could fail when creating a thin pack
simply because a pack edge object used as a preferred base is corrupted.
Since preferred base objects are not strictly needed to produce a valid
pack, let's not consider the inability to read them as a fatal error.
Delta compression may well be attempted against other objects in the
search window.  To avoid warning storms (we are in the inner loop of
the delta search window) a warning is emitted only on the first
occurrence.

e32dfec79f repack: place temporary packs under .git/objects/pack/
git-pack-objects is already careful to start out its temporary packs
under .git/objects/pack/ (cf. 8b4eb6b, Do not perform cross-directory
renames when creating packs, 2008-09-22), but git-repack did not
respond in kind so the effort was lost when the filesystem boundary is
exactly at that directory.

Let git-repack pass a path under .git/objects/pack/ as the base for
its temporary packs.

This means we might need the $PACKDIR sooner (before the pack-objects
invocation), so move the mkdir up just to be safe.

Also note that the only use of *.pack is in the find invocation way
before the pack-objects call, so the temporary packs will not suddenly
show up in any wildcards because of the directory change.

64f003abd9 send-pack: avoid redundant "pack-objects died with strange error"
Saying "pack-objects died with strange error" after "pack-objects died
of signal 13" seems kind of redundant.  The latter message was
introduced when the run-command API changed to report abnormal exits
on behalf of the caller (v1.6.5-rc0~86^2~5, 2009-07-04).

Similarly, after a controlled pack-objects failure (detectable as a
normal exit with nonzero status), a "died with strange error" message
would be redundant next to the message from pack-objects itself.

So leave off the "strange error" messages.

The result should look something like this:

	$ git push sf master
	Counting objects: 21542, done.
	Compressing objects: 100% (4179/4179), done.
	fatal: Unable to create temporary file: Permission denied
	error: pack-objects died of signal 13
	error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://sf.net/gitroot/project/project'
	$

Or in the "controlled exit" case (contrived example):

	[...]
	fatal: delta size changed
	error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://example.com/foo/bar'
	$

'pfx' is NULL or a 0-length string, _except on Windows_.

Change the behaviour to work the same on both platforms, and only
check pfx_len so that callers passing a NULL prefix with a nonzero
pfx_len segfault early on both.

bfdfa3d414 t4203 (mailmap): stop hardcoding commit ids and dates
A seemingly innocuous change like adding test_tick somewhere can
completely upset the final mailmap test, since it checks commit
hashes and dates.  Make the test less fragile by fuzzing away the
unpredictable parts and leaving in the authors (which is what the
test is about, anyway).

8837d33595 diff --check: correct line numbers of new blank lines at EOF
The whitespace check printed the value of the wrong variable, i.e. the
beginning of the block of blank lines at the EOF (possibly absent) in the
old file.

As "git diff --check" is used by users to check their changes before
making a commit, we should point at the line number in the file after
the change.

d8d2eb7d6b mailmap: fix use of freed memory
On an x86_64 system (F13-based), I ran these commands in an empty directory:

    git init
    printf '%s\n' \
      '<jdoe@example.com> <jdoe@example.COM>' \
      'John <jdoe@example.com>' > .mailmap
    git shortlog < /dev/null

Here's the result:

    (reading log message from standard input)
    *** glibc detected *** git: free(): invalid pointer: 0x0000000000f53730 ***
    ======= Backtrace: =========
    /lib64/libc.so.6[0x31ba875676]
    git[0x48c2a5]
    git[0x4b9858]
    ...
    zsh: abort (core dumped)  git shortlog

What happened?

Some .mailmap entry is of the <email1> <email2> form,
while a subsequent one looks like "User Name <Email2>,
and the two email addresses on the right are not identical
but are "equal" when using a case-insensitive comparator.

Then, when add_mapping is processing the latter line, new_email is NULL
and we free me->email, yet do not replace it with a new strdup'd string.
Thus, when later we attempt to use the buffer behind that ->email pointer,
we reference freed memory.

The solution is to free ->email and ->name only if we're about to replace them.

[jc: squashed in the tests from Jonathan]

Maybe they do this because they read it in the Git user-manual.

Fix the manual to give them better guidance.
