dca3b5f5ce grep: do not unnecessarily query repo for "--"
When running a command of the form

  git grep --no-index pattern -- path

in the absence of a Git repository, an error message will be printed:

  fatal: BUG: setup_git_env called without repository

This is because "git grep" tries to interpret "--" as a rev. "git grep"
has always tried to first interpret "--" as a rev for at least a few
years, but this issue was upgraded from a pessimization to a bug in
commit 59332d1 ("Resurrect "git grep --no-index"", 2010-02-06), which
calls get_sha1 regardless of whether --no-index was specified. This bug
appeared to be benign until commit b1ef400 ("setup_git_env: avoid blind
fall-back to ".git"", 2016-10-20) when Git was taught to die in this
situation.  (This "git grep" bug appears to be one of the bugs that
commit b1ef400 is meant to flush out.)

Therefore, always interpret "--" as signaling the end of options,
instead of trying to interpret it as a rev first.

a0fe2b0d23 grep: move thread initialization a little lower
Originally, we set up the threads for grep before parsing
the non-option arguments. In 53b8d931b (grep: disable
threading in non-worktree case, 2011-12-12), the thread code
got bumped lower in the function because it now needed to
know whether we got any revision arguments.

That put a big block of code in between the parsing of revs
and the parsing of pathspecs, both of which share some loop
variables. That makes it harder to read the code than the
original, where the shared loops were right next to each
other.

Let's bump the thread initialization until after all of the
parsing is done.

a4d92d579f mingw: make stderr unbuffered again
When removing the hack for isatty(), we actually removed more than just
an isatty() hack: we removed the hack where internal data structures of
the MSVC runtime are modified in order to redirect stdout/stderr.

Instead of using that hack (that does not work with newer versions of
the runtime, anyway), we replaced it by reopening the respective file
descriptors.

What we forgot was to mark stderr as unbuffered again.

Reported by Hannes Sixt. Fixed with Jeff Hostetler's assistance.

a831c06a2b gc: ignore old gc.log files
A server can end up in a state where there are lots of unreferenced
loose objects (say, because many users are doing a bunch of rebasing
and pushing their rebased branches).  Running "git gc --auto" in
this state would cause a gc.log file to be created, preventing
future auto gcs, causing pack files to pile up.  Since many git
operations are O(n) in the number of pack files, this would lead to
poor performance.

Git should never get itself into a state where it refuses to do any
maintenance, just because at some point some piece of the maintenance
didn't make progress.

Teach Git to ignore gc.log files which are older than (by default)
one day old, which can be tweaked via the gc.logExpiry configuration
variable.  That way, these pack files will get cleaned up, if
necessary, at least once per day.  And operators who find a need for
more-frequent gcs can adjust gc.logExpiry to meet their needs.

There is also some cleanup: a successful manual gc, or a
warning-free auto gc with an old log file, will remove any old
gc.log files.

It might still happen that manual intervention is required
(e.g. because the repo is corrupt), but at the very least it won't
be because Git is too dumb to try again.

3c0cb0cbae read_loose_refs(): read refs using resolve_ref_recursively()
There is no need to call read_ref_full() or resolve_gitlink_ref() from
read_loose_refs(), because we already have a ref_store object in hand.
So we can call resolve_ref_recursively() ourselves. Happily, this
unifies the code for the submodule vs. non-submodule cases.

This requires resolve_ref_recursively() to be exposed to the refs
subsystem, though not to non-refs code.

e91461b332 docs/git-submodule: fix unbalanced quote
The documentation gives an example of the submodule foreach
command that uses both backticks and single-quotes. We stick
the whole thing inside "+" markers to make it monospace, but
the inside punctuation still needs escaping. We handle the
backticks with "{backtick}", and use backslash-escaping for
the single-quotes.

But we missed the escaping on the second quote. Fortunately,
asciidoc renders this unbalanced quote as we want (showing
the quote), but asciidoctor does not. We could fix it by
adding the missing backslash.

However, let's take a step back. Even when rendered
correctly, it's hard to read a long command stuck into the
middle of a paragraph, and the important punctuation is hard
to notice. Let's instead bump it into its own single-line
code block. That makes both the source and the rendered
result more readable, and as a bonus we don't have to worry
about quoting at all.

96f6d3f61a ls-files: move only kept cache entries in prune_cache()
prune_cache() first identifies those entries at the start of the sorted
array that can be discarded.  Then it moves the rest of the entries up.
Last it identifies the unwanted trailing entries among the moved ones
and cuts them off.

Change the order: Identify both start *and* end of the range to keep
first and then move only those entries to the top.  The resulting code
is slightly shorter and a bit more efficient.

e596acc23a preload-index: avoid lstat for skip-worktree items
Teach preload-index to avoid lstat() calls for index-entries
with skip-worktree bit set.  This is a performance optimization.

During a sparse-checkout, the skip-worktree bit is set on items
that were not populated and therefore are not present in the
worktree.  The per-thread preload-index loop performs a series
of tests on each index-entry as it attempts to compare the
worktree version with the index and mark them up-to-date.
This patch short-cuts that work.

On a Windows 10 system with a very large repo (450MB index)
and various levels of sparseness, performance was improved
in the {preloadindex=true, fscache=false} case by 80% and
in the {preloadindex=true, fscache=true} case by 20% for various
commands.

a8b05162e8 git-p4: fix git-p4.pathEncoding for removed files
In a9e38359e3 we taught git-p4 a way to re-encode path names from what
was used in Perforce to UTF-8. This path re-encoding worked properly for
"added" paths. "Removed" paths were not re-encoded and therefore
different from the "added" paths. Consequently, these files were not
removed in a git-p4 cloned Git repository because the path names did not
match.

Fix this by moving the re-encoding to a place that affects "added" and
"removed" paths. Add a test to demonstrate the issue.

486c8e8c6a connect.c: stop conflating ssh command names and overrides
dd33e07766 ("connect: Add the envvar GIT_SSH_VARIANT and ssh.variant
config", 2017-02-01) attempted to add support for configuration and
environment variable to override the different handling of
port_option and needs_batch settings suitable for variants of the
ssh implementation that was autodetected by looking at the ssh
command name.  Because it piggybacked on the code that turns command
name to specific override (e.g. "plink.exe" and "plink" means
port_option needs to be set to 'P' instead of the default 'p'), yet
it defined a separate namespace for these overrides (e.g. "putty"
can be usable to signal that port_option needs to be 'P'), however,
it made the auto-detection based on the command name less robust
(e.g. the code now accepts "putty" as a SSH command name and applies
the same override).

Separate the code that interprets the override that was read from
the configuration & environment from the original code that handles
the command names, as they are in separate namespaces, to fix this
confusion.

This incidentally also makes it easier for future enhancement of the
override syntax (e.g. "port_option=p,needs_batch=1" may want to be
accepted as a more explicit syntax) without affecting the code for
auto-detection based on the command name.

While at it, update the return type of the handle_ssh_variant()
helper function to void; the caller does not use it, and the
function does not return any meaningful value.

2cfc70f0de mingw: use OpenSSL's SHA-1 routines
Use OpenSSL's SHA-1 routines rather than builtin block-sha1 routines.
This improves performance on SHA1 operations on Intel processors.

OpenSSL 1.0.2 has made considerable performance improvements and
support the Intel hardware acceleration features.  See:
https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/improving-openssl-performance
https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-sha-extensions

To test this I added/staged a single file in a gigantic
repository having a 450MB index file.  The code in read-cache.c
verifies the header SHA as it reads the index and computes a new
header SHA as it writes out the new index.  Therefore, in this test
the SHA code must process 900MB of data.  Testing was done on an
Intel I7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz (Intel64, Family 6, Model 60) CPU.

The block-sha1 version averaged 5.27 seconds.
The OpenSSL    version averaged 4.50 seconds.

941b9c5270 Documentation: unify bottom "part of git suite" lines
We currently have 168 man pages that mention they are part of Git, you
can check yourself easily via:
  $ git grep "Part of the linkgit:git\[1\] suite" |wc -l
  168
However some have a trailing period, i.e.
  $ git grep "Part of the linkgit:git\[1\] suite." |wc -l
  8

Unify the bottom line in all man pages to not end with a period.

18633e1a22 rebase -i: use the rebase--helper builtin
Now that the sequencer learned to process a "normal" interactive rebase,
we use it. The original shell script is still used for "non-normal"
interactive rebases, i.e. when --root or --preserve-merges was passed.

Please note that the --root option (via the $squash_onto variable) needs
special handling only for the very first command, hence it is still okay
to use the helper upon continue/skip.

Also please note that the --no-ff setting is volatile, i.e. when the
interactive rebase is interrupted at any stage, there is no record of
it. Therefore, we have to pass it from the shell script to the
rebase--helper.

Note: the test t3404 had to be adjusted because the the error messages
produced by the sequencer comply with our current convention to start with
a lower-case letter.

4557f1add2 rebase--helper: add a builtin helper for interactive rebases
Git's interactive rebase is still implemented as a shell script, despite
its complexity. This implies that it suffers from the portability point
of view, from lack of expressibility, and of course also from
performance. The latter issue is particularly serious on Windows, where
we pay a hefty price for relying so much on POSIX.

Unfortunately, being such a huge shell script also means that we missed
the train when it would have been relatively easy to port it to C, and
instead piled feature upon feature onto that poor script that originally
never intended to be more than a slightly pimped cherry-pick in a loop.

To open the road toward better performance (in addition to all the other
benefits of C over shell scripts), let's just start *somewhere*.

The approach taken here is to add a builtin helper that at first intends
to take care of the parts of the interactive rebase that are most
affected by the performance penalties mentioned above.

In particular, after we spent all those efforts on preparing the sequencer
to process rebase -i's git-rebase-todo scripts, we implement the `git
rebase -i --continue` functionality as a new builtin, git-rebase--helper.

Once that is in place, we can work gradually on tackling the rest of the
technical debt.

Note that the rebase--helper needs to learn about the transient
--ff/--no-ff options of git-rebase, as the corresponding flag is not
persisted to, and re-read from, the state directory.

438fc68462 push options: pass push options to the transport helper
When using non-builtin protocols relying on a transport helper
(such as http), push options are not propagated to the helper.

The user could ask for push options and a push would seemingly succeed,
but the push options would never be transported to the server,
misleading the users expectation.

Fix this by propagating the push options to the transport helper.

This is only addressing the first issue of
   (1) the helper protocol does not propagate push-option
   (2) the http helper is not prepared to handle push-option

Once we fix (2), the http transport helper can make use of push options
as well, but that happens as a follow up. (1) is a bug fix, whereas (2)
is a feature, which is why we only do (1) here.

df8512ede8 tag: generate useful reflog message
When tags are created with `--create-reflog` or with the option
`core.logAllRefUpdates` set to 'always', a reflog is created for them.
So far, the description of reflog entries for tags was empty, making the
reflog hard to understand. For example:
6e3a7b3 refs/tags/test@{0}:

Now, a reflog message is generated when creating a tag, following the
pattern "tag: tagging <short-sha1> (<description>)". If
GIT_REFLOG_ACTION is set, the message becomes "$GIT_REFLOG_ACTION
(<description>)" instead. If the tag references a commit object, the
description is set to the subject line of the commit, followed by its
commit date. For example:
6e3a7b3 refs/tags/test@{0}: tag: tagging 6e3a7b3398 (Git 2.12-rc0, 2017-02-03)

If the tag points to a tree/blob/tag objects, the following static
strings are taken as description:

 - "tree object"
 - "blob object"
 - "other tag object"
