d5a719e4af t/t7500-commit.sh: use test_cmp instead of test
Change commit_msg_is() in t/t7500-commit.sh to use test_cmp instead of
the shell's test function. Now if a test fails we'll get test_cmp
output showing us what failed.

49151d8b2c t/gitweb-lib.sh: Ensure that errors are shown for --debug --immediate
Because '--immediate' stops test suite after first error, therefore in
this mode

  test_debug 'cat gitweb.log'

was never ran, thus in effect negating effect of '--debug' option.
This made finidng the cause of errors in gitweb test sute difficult.

Modify the gitweb_run test subroutine to run test_debug itself in the
case of errors (and also remove "test_debug 'cat gitweb.log'" from
gitweb tests).

This makes it possible to run *gitweb tests* with --immediate ---debug
combination of options; also it makes gitweb tests to not output
spurious debug data that is not considered error.

98885c2914 gitweb/gitweb.perl: don't call S_ISREG() with undef
Change S_ISREG($to_mode_oct) to S_ISREG($from_mode_oct) in the branch
that handles from modes, not to modes. This logic appears to have been
caused by copy/paste programming by Jakub Narebski in e8e41a93. It
would be better to rewrite this code not to be duplicated, but I
haven't done so.

This issue caused a failing test on perl 5.13.9, which has a warning
that turned this up:

     gitweb.perl: Use of uninitialized value in subroutine entry at /home/avar/g/git/t/../gitweb/gitweb.perl line 4415.

Which caused the Git test suite to fail on this test:

0f54b7d09a gitweb/gitweb.perl: remove use of qw(...) as parentheses
Using the qw(...) construct as implicit parentheses was deprecated in
perl 5.13.5. Change the relevant code in gitweb to not use the
deprecated construct. The offending code was introduced in 3562198b by
Jakub Narebski.

The issue is that perl will now warn about this:

    $ perl -wE 'for my $i qw(a b) { say $i }'
    Use of qw(...) as parentheses is deprecated at -e line 1.
    a

99bfc6691d merge: enable progress reporting for rename detection
The user can enable or disable it explicitly with the new

This works only with merge-recursive and subtree. In theory
we could pass a progress flag to other strategies, but none

485445e22a commit: stop setting rename limit
For its post-commit summary, commit was explicitly setting
the default rename limit to 100. Presumably when the code

it will fall back properly to the diff default, and that

92c57e5c1d bump rename limit defaults (again)
We did this once before in 5070591 (bump rename limit
defaults, 2008-04-30). Back then, we were shooting for about
1 second for a diff/log calculation, and 5 seconds for a
merge.

There are a few new things to consider, though:

  1. Average processors are faster now.

  2. We've seen on the mailing list some ugly merges where
     not using inexact rename detection leads to many more
     conflicts. Merges of this size take a long time
     anyway, so users are probably happy to spend a little
     bit of time computing the renames.

Let's bump the diff/merge default limits from 200/500 to
400/1000. Those are 2 seconds and 10 seconds respectively on
my modern hardware.

bf0ab10fa8 merge: improve inexact rename limit warning
The warning is generated deep in the diffcore code, which
means that it will come first, followed possibly by a spew
of conflicts, making it hard to see.

Instead, let's have diffcore pass back the information about
how big the rename limit would needed to have been, and then
the caller can provide a more appropriate message (and at a
more appropriate time).

No refactoring of other non-merge callers is necessary,
because nobody else was even using the warn_on_rename_limit
feature.

a902618792 clone: die when trying to clone missing local path
Since 86ac751 (Allow cloning an empty repository,
2009-01-23), doing:

  git clone does-not-exist

has created does-not-exist as an empty repository. This was
an unintentional side effect of 86ac751. Even weirder,
doing:

  git clone does-not-exist new-dir

_does_ fail, making this "feature" (if you want to consider
it such) broken. Let's detect this situation and explicitly
die. It's almost certainly not what the user intended.

This patch also adds two tests. One for the missing path
case, and one to confirm that a similar case, cloning a
non-repository directory, fails.

339e5638b0 tests: skip terminal output tests on OS X
On Mac OS X 10.5.0, test_terminal gets stuck reading from the pty
master every once in a while.  To reproduce the problem:

 perl -MIO::Pty -MFile::Copy -e '
	for (my $i = 0;; $i++) {
		my $master = new IO::Pty;
		my $slave = $master->slave;
		if (fork == 0) {
			close $master or die "close: $!";
			open STDOUT, ">&", $slave or die "dup2: $!";
			close $slave or die "close: $!";
			exec("echo", "hi", $i) or die "exec: $!";
		}
		close $slave or die "close: $!";
		copy($master, \*STDOUT) or die "copy: $!";
		close $master or die "close: $!";
		wait;
	}
 '

It blocks after 7000 iterations or so in sysread().  The relevant
sysread() call is the second call by the parent, which presumably
executes before the child dies but after the parent has read all
output from there.

Since this is an intermitent problem, the quick check of terminal
support in lib-terminal doesn't catch it.  Skip these tests on the Mac
for now.

21b5b1e8dc branch/checkout --track: Ensure that upstream branch is indeed a branch
When creating a new branch using the --track option, we must make sure that
we don't try to set an upstream that does not make sense to follow (using
'git pull') or update (using 'git push'). The current code checks against
using HEAD as upstream (since tracking a symref doesn't make sense). However,
tracking a tag doesn't make sense either. Indeed, tracking _any_ ref that is
not a (local or remote) branch doesn't make sense, and should be disallowed.

This patch achieves this by checking that the ref we're trying to --track
resides within refs/heads/* or refs/remotes/*. This new check replaces the
previous check against HEAD.

A couple of testcases are also added, verifying that we cannot create
branches with tags as upstreams.

Finally, some selftests relying on using a non-branch as an upstream have
been reworked or removed:

- t6040: Reverse the meaning of two tests that depend on the ability to
use (lightweight and annotated) tags as upstreams. These two tests were
originally added in commits 1be570f and 57ffc5f, and this patch reverts the
intention of those two commits.

- t7201: Remove part of a test (introduced in 9188ed8) relying on a
non-branch as upstream.

2f59c94704 mergetool: don't skip modify/remove conflicts
Since bb0a484 (mergetool: Skip autoresolved paths, 2010-08-17),
mergetool uses different ways of figuring out the list of files with
merge conflicts depending on whether rerere is active. If rerere is
active, mergetool will use 'git rerere status' to list the files with
remaining conflicts. However, the output from that command does not
list conflicts of types that rerere does not handle, such as
modify/remove conflicts.

Another problem with solely relying on the output from 'git rerere
status' is that, for new conflicts that are not yet known to rerere,
the output from the command will list the files even after adding them
to the index. This means that if the conflicts in some files have been
resolved and 'git mergetool' is run again, it will ask the user
something like the following for each of those files.

 file1: file does not need merging
 Continue merging other unresolved paths (y/n) ?

Solve both of these problems by replacing the call to 'git rerere
status' with a call to the new 'git rerere remaining' that was
introduced in the previous commit.

ac49f5ca84 rerere "remaining"
After "rerere" resolves conflicts by reusing old resolution, there would
be three kinds of paths with conflict in the index:

 * paths that have been resolved in the working tree by rerere;
 * paths that need further work whose resolution could be recorded;
 * paths that need resolving that rerere won't help.

When the user wants a list of paths that need hand-resolving, output from
"rerere status" does not help, as it shows only the second category, but
the paths in the third category still needs work (rerere only makes sense
for regular files that have both our side and their side, and does not
help other kinds of conflicts, e.g. "we modified, they deleted").

The new subcommand "rerere remaining" can be used to show both. As
opposed to "rerere status", this subcommand also skips printing paths
that have been added to the index, since these paths are already
resolved and are no longer "remaining".

Initial patch provided by Junio. Refactored and modified to skip
resolved paths by Martin. Commit message mostly by Junio.

53c403116a push.default: Rename 'tracking' to 'upstream'
Users are sometimes confused with two different types of "tracking" behavior
in Git: "remote-tracking" branches (e.g. refs/remotes/*/*) versus the
merge/rebase relationship between a local branch and its @{upstream}
(controlled by branch.foo.remote and branch.foo.merge config settings).

When the push.default is set to 'tracking', it specifies that a branch should
be pushed to its @{upstream} branch. In other words, setting push.default to
'tracking' applies only to the latter of the above two types of "tracking"
behavior.

In order to make this more understandable to the user, we rename the
push.default == 'tracking' option to push.default == 'upstream'.

push.default == 'tracking' is left as a deprecated synonym for 'upstream'.

65969d43d1 merge: honor prepare-commit-msg hook
When a merge is stopped due to conflicts or --no-commit, the
subsequent commit calls the prepare-commit-msg hook. However,
it is not called after a clean merge. Fix this inconsistency
by invoking the hook after clean merges as well.

206b099d26 smart-http: Don't use Expect: 100-Continue
Some HTTP/1.1 servers or proxies don't correctly implement the
100-Continue feature of HTTP/1.1.  Its a difficult feature to
implement right, and isn't commonly used by browsers, so many
developers may not even be aware that their server (or proxy)
doesn't honor it.

Within the smart HTTP protocol for Git we only use this newer
"Expect: 100-Continue" feature to probe for missing authentication
before uploading a large payload like a pack file during push.
If authentication is necessary, we expect the server to send the
401 Not Authorized response before the bulk data transfer starts,
thus saving the client bandwidth during the retry.

A different method to probe for working authentication is to send an
empty command list (that is just "0000") to $URL/git-receive-pack.
or $URL/git-upload-pack.  All versions of both receive-pack and
upload-pack since the introduction of smart HTTP in Git 1.6.6
cleanly accept just a flush-pkt under --stateless-rpc mode, and
exit with success.

If HTTP level authentication is successful, the backend will return
an empty response, but with HTTP status code 200.  This enables
the client to continue with the transfer.

24231e063f pull: do not display fetch usage on --help-all
Currently, "git pull --help-all" displays the fetch usage info.

Make it equivalent to "git pull -h" instead since "--help-all" is
documented in gitcli(7).

Do not try to sanitize the pull option parser (aka last hair puller).

cfb5e6b2da git-tag.txt: list all modes in the description
Currently, the description sounds as if it applied always, but most of
its content is true in "create tag mode" only.

Make this clearer by listing all modes upfront.

Also, sneak in some linguistic improvements and make it clearer that
lightweight tags are "created" because "written" may be misread as
"are output".
