f8117f550b http: use off_t to store partial file size
When we try to resume transfer of a partially-downloaded
object or pack, we fopen() the existing file for append,
then use ftell() to get the current position. We use a
"long", which can hold only 2GB on a 32-bit system, even
though packfiles may be larger than that.

Let's switch to using off_t, which should hold any file size
our system is capable of storing. We need to use ftello() to
get the off_t. This is in POSIX and hopefully available
everywhere; if not, we should be able to wrap it by falling
back to ftell(), which would presumably return "-1" on such
a large file (and we would simply skip resuming in that case).

835c4d3689 http.c: use CURLOPT_RANGE for range requests
A HTTP server is permitted to return a non-range response to a HTTP
range request (and Apache httpd in fact does this in some cases).
While libcurl knows how to correctly handle this (by skipping bytes
before and after the requested range), it only turns on this handling
if it is aware that a range request is being made.  By manually
setting the range header instead of using CURLOPT_RANGE, we were
hiding the fact that this was a range request from libcurl.  This
could cause corruption.

870ebdb9c4 checkout: add --progress option
Under normal circumstances, and like other git commands,
git checkout will write progress info to stderr if
attached to a terminal. This option allows progress
to be forced even if not using a terminal. Also,
progress can be skipped if using option --no-progress.

85d9d9ddf3 mailinfo: fix passing wrong address to git_mailinfo_config
git_mailinfo_config() expects "struct mailinfo *". But in
setup_mailinfo(), "mi" is already "struct mailinfo *". &mi would make
it "struct mailinfo **" and git_mailinfo_config() would damage some
other memory when it assigns some value to mi->use_scissors.

This is caught by t4150.20. git_mailinfo_config() breaks
mi->name.alloc and makes strbuf_release() in clear_mailinfo() attempt
to free strbuf_slopbuf.

baf0a3e47d wt-status: avoid building bogus branch name with detached HEAD
If we're on a detached HEAD then wt_shortstatus_print_tracking() takes
the string "HEAD (no branch)", translates it, skips the first eleven
characters and passes the result to branch_get(), which returns a bogus
result and accesses memory out of bounds in order to produce it.
Somehow stat_tracking_info(), which is passed that result, does the
right thing anyway, i.e. it finds that there is no base.

Avoid the bogus results and memory accesses by checking for HEAD first
and exiting early in that case.  This fixes t7060 with --valgrind.

ec352401fb blame: test to describe use of blame --reverse --first-parent
Reverse blame can be used to locate removal of lines which does not
change adjacent lines. Such edits do not appear in non-reverse blame,
because the adjacent lines last changed commit is older history, before
the edit.

For a big and active project which uses topic branches, or analogous
feature, for example pull-requests, the history can contain many
concurrent branches, and even after an edit merged into the target
branch, there are still many (sometimes several tens or even hundreds)
topic branch which do not contain it:

 a0--a1-----*a2-*a3-a4...-*a100
 |\         /   /         /
 | b0-B1..bN   /         /
 |\           /         /
 | c0..   ..cN         /
 \                    /
  z0..            ..zN

Here, the '*'s mark the first parent in merge, and uppercase B1 - the
commit where the line being blamed for was removed. Since commits cN-zN
do not contain B1, they still have the line removed in B1, and
reverse blame can report that the last commit for the line was zN
(meaning that it was removed in a100). In fact it really does return
some very late commit, and this makes it unusable for finding the B1
commit.

The search could be done by blame --reverse --first-parent. For range
a0..a100 it would return a1, and then only one additional blame along
the a0..bN will return the desired commit b0. But combining --reverse
and --first-parent was forbidden in 95a4fb0eac, because incorrectly
specified range could produce unexpected and meaningless result.

Add test which describes the expected behavior of
`blame --reverse --first-parent` in the case described above.

9e468334b4 ref-filter: fallback on alphabetical comparison
In ref-filter.c the comparison of refs while sorting is handled by
cmp_ref_sorting() function. When sorting as per numerical values
(e.g. --sort=objectsize) there is no fallback comparison when both
refs hold the same value. This can cause unexpected results (i.e. the
order of listing refs with equal values cannot be pre-determined) as
pointed out by Johannes Sixt ($gmane/280117).

Hence, fallback to alphabetical comparison based on the refname
whenever the other criterion is equal.

A test in t3203 was expecting that branch-two sorts before HEAD, which
happened to be how qsort(3) on Linux sorted the array, but (1) that
outcome was not even guaranteed, and (2) once we start breaking ties
with the refname, "HEAD" should sort before "branch-two" so the
original expectation was inconsistent with the criterion we now use.

Update it to match the new world order, which we can now depend on
being stable.

cfe2d4be91 difftool: ignore symbolic links in use_wt_file
The caller is preparing a narrowed-down copy of the working tree and
this function is asked if the path should be included in that copy.
If we say yes, the path from the working tree will be either symlinked
or copied into the narrowed-down copy.

For any path that is a symbolic link, the caller later fixes up the
narrowed-down copy by unlinking the path and replacing it with a
regular file it writes out that mimics the way how "git diff"
compares symbolic links.

Let's answer "no, you do not want to copy/symlink the working tree
file" for all symbolic links from this function, as we know the
result will not be used because it will be overwritten anyway.

Incidentally, this also stops the function from feeding a symbolic
link in the working tree to hash-object, which is a wrong thing to
do to begin with. The link may be pointing at a directory, or worse
may be dangling (both would be noticed as an error).  Even if the
link points at a regular file, hashing the contents of a file that
is pointed at by the link is not correct (Git hashes the contents of
the link itself, not the pointee).

e34f80278e merge-file: clamp exit code to maximum 127
Git-merge-file is documented to return one of three exit
codes:

  - zero means the merge was successful

  - a negative number means an error occurred

  - a positive number indicates the number of conflicts

Unfortunately, this all gets stuffed into an 8-bit return
code. Which means that if you have 256 conflicts, this wraps
to zero, and the merge appears to succeed (and commits a
blob full of conflict-marker cruft!).

This patch clamps the return value to a maximum of 127,
which we should be able to safely represent everywhere. This
also leaves 128-255 for other values. Shells (and some parts
of git) will typically represent signal death as 128 plus
the signal number. And negative values are typically coerced
to an 8-bit unsigned value (so "return -1" ends up as 255).

Technically negative returns have the same problem (e.g.,
"-256" wraps back to 0), but this is not a problem in
practice, as the only negative value we use is "-1".

39743cf554 rebase-i: work around Windows CRLF line endings
Editors on Windows can and do save text files with CRLF line
endings, which is the convention on the platform.  We are seeing
reports that the "read" command in a port of bash to the environment
however does not strip the CRLF at the end, not adjusting for the
same convention on the platform.

This breaks the recently added sanity checks for the insn sheet fed
to "rebase -i"; instead of an empty line (hence nothing in $command),
the script was getting a lone CR in there.

Special case a lone CR and treat it the same way as an empty line to
work this around.

This patch (also) passes the test with Git for Windows, where the
issue was seen first.

9a6e4f032e add_submodule_odb: initialize alt_odb list earlier
The add_submodule_odb function tries to add a submodule's
object store as an "alternate". It needs the existing list
to be initialized (from the objects/info/alternates file)
for two reasons:

  1. We look for duplicates with the existing alternate
     stores, but obviously this doesn't work if we haven't
     loaded any yet.

  2. We link our new entry into the list by prepending it to
     alt_odb_list. But we do _not_ modify alt_odb_tail.
     This variable starts as NULL, and is a signal to the
     alt_odb code that the list has not yet been
     initialized.

     We then call read_info_alternates on the submodule (to
     recursively load its alternates), which will try to
     append to that tail, assuming it has been initialized.
     This causes us to segfault if it is NULL.

This rarely comes up in practice, because we will have
initialized the alt_odb any time we do an object lookup. So
you can trigger this only when:

  - you try to access a submodule (e.g., a diff with
    diff.submodule=log)

  - the access happens before any other object has been
    accessed (e.g., because the diff is between the working
    tree and the index)

  - the submodule contains an alternates file (so we try to
    add an entry to the NULL alt_odb_tail)

To fix this, we just need to call prepare_alt_odb at the
start of the function (and if we have already initialized,
it is a noop).

Note that we can remove the prepare_alt_odb call from the
end. It is guaranteed to be a noop, since we will have
called it earlier.
