f417eed8cd fsck: provide a function to parse fsck message IDs
These functions will be used in the next commits to allow the user to
ask fsck to handle specific problems differently, e.g. demoting certain
errors to warnings. The upcoming `fsck_set_msg_types()` function has to
handle partial strings because we would like to be able to parse, say,
'missingemail=warn,missingtaggerentry=warn' command line parameters
(which will be passed by receive-pack to index-pack and unpack-objects).

To make the parsing robust, we generate strings from the enum keys, and
using these keys, we match up strings without dashes case-insensitively
to the corresponding enum values.

c99ba492f1 fsck: introduce identifiers for fsck messages
Instead of specifying whether a message by the fsck machinery constitutes
an error or a warning, let's specify an identifier relating to the
concrete problem that was encountered. This is necessary for upcoming
support to be able to demote certain errors to warnings.

In the process, simplify the requirements on the calling code: instead of
having to handle full-blown varargs in every callback, we now send a
string buffer ready to be used by the callback.

We could use a simple enum for the message IDs here, but we want to
guarantee that the enum values are associated with the appropriate
message types (i.e. error or warning?). Besides, we want to introduce a
parser in the next commit that maps the string representation to the
enum value, hence we use the slightly ugly preprocessor construct that
is extensible for use with said parser.

f67986b909 mergetool-lib: fix default tool selection
When no diff nor merge tool is specified (config, option), mergetool-lib
is supposed to choose a default tool from a set of tools. That set is
constructed dynamically depending on the environment (graphical, editor
setting) as a space separated string of tool names.

719518f (mergetool--lib: set IFS for difftool and mergetool, 2015-05-20)
introduced a newline as IFS which breaks the parsing of the space
separated list into items, resulting in a failed search for an available
tool.

Set IFS to a space locally for the tool search.

b1456605c2 pull: remove redirection to git-pull.sh
At the beginning of the rewrite of git-pull.sh to C, we introduced a
redirection to git-pull.sh if the environment variable
_GIT_USE_BUILTIN_PULL was not defined in order to not break test scripts
that relied on a functional git-pull.

Now that all of git-pull's functionality has been re-implemented in
builtin/pull.c, remove this redirection, and retire the old git-pull.sh
into contrib/examples/.

81dbd768db pull: configure --rebase via branch.<name>.rebase or pull.rebase
Since cd67e4d (Teach 'git pull' about --rebase, 2007-11-28),
fetch+rebase could be set by default by defining the config variable
branch.<name>.rebase. This setting can be overriden on the command line
by --rebase and --no-rebase.

Since 6b37dff (pull: introduce a pull.rebase option to enable --rebase,
2011-11-06), git-pull --rebase can also be configured via the
pull.rebase configuration option.

Re-implement support for these two configuration settings by introducing
config_get_rebase() which is called before parse_options() to set the
default value of opt_rebase.

1678b81ecc pull: teach git pull about --rebase
Since cd67e4d (Teach 'git pull' about --rebase, 2007-11-28), if the
--rebase option is set, git-rebase is run instead of git-merge.

Re-implement this by introducing run_rebase(), which is called instead
of run_merge() if opt_rebase is a true value.

Since c85c792 (pull --rebase: be cleverer with rebased upstream
branches, 2008-01-26), git-pull handles the case where the upstream
branch was rebased since it was last fetched. The fork point (old remote
ref) of the branch from the upstream branch is calculated before fetch,
and then rebased from onto the new remote head (merge_head) after fetch.

Re-implement this by introducing get_merge_branch_2() and
get_merge_branch_1() to find the upstream branch for the
specified/current branch, and get_rebase_fork_point() which will find
the fork point between the upstream branch and current branch.

However, the above change created a problem where git-rebase cannot
detect commits that are already upstream, and thus may result in
unnecessary conflicts. cf65426 (pull --rebase: Avoid spurious conflicts
and reapplying unnecessary patches, 2010-08-12) fixes this by ignoring
the above old remote ref if it is contained within the merge base of the
merge head and the current branch.

This is re-implemented in run_rebase() where fork_point is not used if
it is the merge base returned by get_octopus_merge_base().

44c175c7a4 pull: error on no merge candidates
Commit a8c9bef (pull: improve advice for unconfigured error case,
2009-10-05) fully established the current advices given by git-pull for
the different cases where git-fetch will not have anything marked for
merge:

1. We fetched from a specific remote, and a refspec was given, but it
   ended up not fetching anything. This is usually because the user
   provided a wildcard refspec which had no matches on the remote end.

2. We fetched from a non-default remote, but didn't specify a branch to
   merge. We can't use the configured one because it applies to the
   default remote, and thus the user must specify the branches to merge.

3. We fetched from the branch's or repo's default remote, but:

   a. We are not on a branch, so there will never be a configured branch
      to merge with.

   b. We are on a branch, but there is no configured branch to merge
      with.

4. We fetched from the branch's or repo's default remote, but the
   configured branch to merge didn't get fetched (either it doesn't
   exist, or wasn't part of the configured fetch refspec)

Re-implement the above behavior by implementing get_merge_heads() to
parse the heads in FETCH_HEAD for merging, and implementing
die_no_merge_candidates(), which will be called when FETCH_HEAD has no
heads for merging.

d5c1b7c286 test-lib.sh: fix color support when tput needs ~/.terminfo
If tput needs ~/.terminfo for the current $TERM, then tput will
succeed before HOME is changed to $TRASH_DIRECTORY (causing color to
be set to 't') but fail afterward.

One possible way to fix this is to treat HOME like TERM: back up the
original value and temporarily restore it before say_color() runs
tput.

Instead, pre-compute and save the color control sequences before
changing either TERM or HOME.  Use the saved control sequences in
say_color() rather than call tput each time.  This avoids the need to
back up and restore the TERM and HOME variables, and it avoids the
overhead of a subshell and two invocations of tput per call to
say_color().

ca92a660bf Revert "test-lib.sh: do tests for color support after changing HOME"
This reverts commit 102fc80d32.

There are two issues with that commit:

  * It is buggy.  In pseudocode, it is doing:

       color is set || TERM != dumb && color works && color=t

    when it should be doing:

       color is set || { TERM != dumb && color works && color=t }

  * It unnecessarily disables color when tput needs to read
    ~/.terminfo to get the control sequences.

323598387d pkt-line: support tracing verbatim pack contents
When debugging the pack protocol, it is sometimes useful to
store the verbatim pack that we sent or received on the
wire. Looking at the on-disk result is often not helpful for
a few reasons:

  1. If the operation is a clone, we destroy the repo on
     failure, leaving nothing on disk.

  2. If the pack is small, we unpack it immediately, and the
     full pack never hits the disk.

  3. If we feed the pack to "index-pack --fix-thin", the
     resulting pack has the extra delta bases added to it.

We already have a GIT_TRACE_PACKET mechanism for tracing
packets. Let's extend it with GIT_TRACE_PACKFILE to dump the
verbatim packfile.

There are a few other positive fallouts that come from
rearranging this code:

 - We currently disable the packet trace after seeing the
   PACK header, even though we may get human-readable lines
   on other sidebands; now we include them in the trace.

 - We currently try to print "PACK ..." in the trace to
   indicate that the packfile has started. But because we
   disable packet tracing, we never printed this line. We
   will now do so.

25f600e142 Documentation/describe: improve one-line summary
git describe does not show 'the most recent tag that is reachable from a
commit', but a descriptive name based on this tag. Fix the description to
reflect that.

d6d1a75e51 pkt-line: tighten sideband PACK check when tracing
To find the start of the pack data, we accept the word PACK
at the beginning of any sideband channel, even though what
we really want is to find the pack data on channel 1. In
practice this doesn't matter, as sideband-2 messages tend to
start with "error:" or similar, but it is a good idea to be
explicit (especially as we add more code in this area, we
will rely on this assumption).

f3612acb93 pkt-line: simplify starts_with checks in packet tracing
We carefully check that our pkt buffer has enough characters
before seeing if it starts with "PACK". The intent is to
avoid reading random memory if we get a short buffer like
"PAC".

However, we know that the traced packets are always
NUL-terminated. They come from one of these sources:

  1. A string literal.

  2. `format_packet`, which uses a strbuf.

  3. `packet_read`, which defensively NUL-terminates what we
     read.

We can therefore drop the length checks, as we know we will
hit the trailing NUL if we have a short input.
