The $test variable is used as an interim buffer for
constructing $TRASH_DIRECTORY, and is almost compatible with
it (the exception being that $test has not been converted to
an absolute path). Let's get rid of it entirely so that
later code does not accidentally use it, thinking the two
are interchangeable.

After the location of $TRASH_DIRECTORY is adjusted by
$TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY, we go on to use the $test variable to make the
trash directory and cd into it. This means that when
$TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY is not "." and an absolute --root has not been
specified, we do not remove the trash directory once the tests are
complete (remove_trash is set to $TRASH_DIRECTORY).
Fix this by always referring to the trash directory as $TRASH_DIRECTORY.

When setting up a "half-auth" repository in which reads can
be done anonymously but writes require authentication, it is
best if the server can require authentication for both the
ref advertisement and the actual receive-pack POSTs. This
alleviates the need for the admin to set http.receivepack in
the repositories, and means that the client is challenged
for credentials immediately, instead of partway through the
push process (and git clients older than v1.7.11.7 had
trouble handling these challenges).
Since detecting a push during the ref advertisement requires
matching the query string, and this is non-trivial to do in
Apache, we have traditionally punted and instructed users to
just protect "/git-receive-pack$". This patch provides the
mod_rewrite recipe to actually match the ref advertisement,
which is preferred.
While we're at it, let's add the recipe to our test scripts
so that we can be sure that it works, and doesn't get broken
(either by our changes or by changes in Apache).

The examples in the documentation are all for Apache. Let's
at least cover the basics: an anonymous server, an
authenticated server, and a "half auth" server with
anonymous read and authenticated write.
Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net>
Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
When the http-backend is set up to allow anonymous read but
authenticated write, the http-backend manual suggests
catching only the "/git-receive-pack" POST of the packfile,
not the initial "info/refs?service=git-receive-pack" GET in
which we advertise refs.
This does work and is secure, as we do not allow any write
during the info/refs request, and the information in the ref
advertisement is the same that you would get from a fetch.
However, the configuration required by the server is
slightly more complex. The default `http.receivepack`
setting is to allow pushes if the webserver tells us that
the user authenticated, and otherwise to return a 403
("Forbidden"). That works fine if authentication is turned
on completely; the initial request requires authentication,
and http-backend realizes it is OK to do a push.
But for this "half-auth" state, no authentication has
occurred during the initial ref advertisement. The
http-backend CGI therefore does not think that pushing
should be enabled, and responds with a 403. The client
cannot continue, even though the server would have allowed
it to run if it had provided credentials.
It would be much better if the server responded with a 401,
asking for credentials during the initial contact. But
git-http-backend does not know about the server's auth
configuration (so a 401 would be confusing in the case of a
true anonymous server). Unfortunately, configuring Apache to
recognize the query string and apply the auth appropriately
to receive-pack (but not upload-pack) initial requests is
non-trivial.
The site admin can work around this by just turning on
http.receivepack explicitly in its repositories. Let's
document this workaround.

While explicitly stating that the commit message in a prerequisite
line is optional, we required all lines with 40 or more characters
to contain a space after the object name, bailing out if a line
consisted of an object name only. This was to allow bundling a
history to a commit without an message, but the code forgot that it
already called rtrim() to remove that whitespace.
As a workaround, only check for SP when the line has more than 40

When we generate relative names (e.g., "master~20^2"), we
format the name into a static buffer, then xstrdup the
result to attach it to the commit. Since the first thing we
add into the static buffer is the already-computed name of
the child commit, the names may get longer and longer as
the traversal gets deeper, and we may eventually overflow
the fixed-size buffer.
Fix this by converting the fixed-size buffer into a dynamic
strbuf. The performance implications should be minimal, as
we end up allocating a heap copy of the name anyway (and now
we can just detach the heap copy from the strbuf).

When we introduced the concept of "detached HEAD", we made sure that
commands that operate on the history of the current branch "just
work" in that state. They update the HEAD to point at the new
history without affecting any branch when the HEAD is detached, just
like they update the tip of the "current branch" to point at the new
history when HEAD points at a specific branch.
As this is done as the natural extension for these commands, we did
not, we still do not, and we do not want to repeat "A detached HEAD
is updated without affecting any branch" when describing what each
and every one of these commands that operates "on the current branch"
does.
Add a blanket description to the glossary to cover them instead.
The general principle is that operations to update the branch work
on and affect the HEAD, while operations to update the information
about a branch do not.

The logic flow of has_changes() used for "log -S" and diff_grep()
used for "log -G" are essentially the same. See if we have both
sides that could be different in any interesting way, slurp the
contents in core, possibly after applying textconv, inspect the
contents, clean-up and report the result. The only difference
between the two is how "inspect" step works.
Unify this codeflow in a helper, pickaxe_match(), which takes a
callback function that implements the specific "inspect" step.
After removing the common scaffolding code from the existing
has_changes() and diff_grep(), they each becomes such a callback
function suitable for passing to pickaxe_match().

The diff_grep() and has_changes() functions had early return
codepaths for unmerged filepairs, which simply returned 0. When we
taught textconv filter to them, one was ignored and continued to
return early without freeing the result filtered by textconv, and
the other had a failed attempt to fix, which allowed the planned
return value 0 to be overwritten by a bogus call to contains().

These two functions are called in the same codeflow to implement
"log -S<block>" and "log -G<pattern>", respectively, but the latter
lacked two obvious optimizations the former implemented, namely:
- When a pickaxe limit is not given at all, they should return
without wasting any cycle;
- When both sides of the filepair are the same, and the same
textconv conversion apply to them, return early, as there will be
no interesting differences between the two anyway.
Also release the filespec data once the processing is done (this is
not about leaking memory--it is about releasing data we finished
looking at as early as possible).
