9ca356fa8b coccinelle: remove parentheses that become unnecessary
Transformations that hide multiplications can end up with an pair of
parentheses that is no longer needed.  E.g. with a rule like this:

  @@
  expression E;
  @@
  - E * 2
  + double(E)

... we might get a patch like this:

  -	x = (a + b) * 2;
  +	x = double((a + b));

Add a pair of parentheses to the preimage side of such rules.
Coccinelle will generate patches that remove them if they are present,
and it will still match expressions that lack them.

7560f547e6 treewide: correct several "up-to-date" to "up to date"
Follow the Oxford style, which says to use "up-to-date" before the noun,
but "up to date" after it. Don't change plumbing (specifically
send-pack.c, but transport.c (git push) also has the same string).

This was produced by grepping for "up-to-date" and "up to date". It
turned out we only had to edit in one direction, removing the hyphens.

Fix a typo in Documentation/git-diff-index.txt while we're there.

578398071e add MOVE_ARRAY
Similar to COPY_ARRAY (introduced in 60566cbb58), add a safe and
convenient helper for moving potentially overlapping ranges of array
entries.  It infers the element size, multiplies automatically and
safely to get the size in bytes, does a basic type safety check by
comparing element sizes and unlike memmove(3) it supports NULL
pointers iff 0 elements are to be moved.

Also add a semantic patch to demonstrate the helper's intended usage.

5453b83bdf send-email: --batch-size to work around some SMTP server limit
Some email servers (e.g. smtp.163.com) limit the number emails to be
sent per session (connection) and this will lead to a faliure when
sending many messages.

Teach send-email to disconnect after sending a number of messages
(configurable via the --batch-size=<num> option), wait for a few
seconds (configurable via the --relogin-delay=<seconds> option) and
reconnect, to work around such a limit.

Also add two configuration variables to give these options the default.

Note:

  We will use this as a band-aid for now, but in the longer term, we
  should look at and react to the SMTP error code from the server;
  Xianqiang reports that 450 and 451 are returned by problematic
  servers.

76d8d45ffb coccinelle: polish FREE_AND_NULL rules
There are two rules for using FREE_AND_NULL in free.cocci, one for
pointer types and one for expressions.  Both cause coccinelle to remove
empty lines and even newline characters between replacements for some
reason; consecutive "free(x);/x=NULL;" sequences end up as multiple
FREE_AND_NULL calls on the same time.

Remove the type rule, as the expression rule already covers it, and
rearrange the lines of the latter to place the addition of FREE_AND_NULL
between the removals, which causes coccinelle to leave surrounding
whitespace untouched.

fdc1ad97c1 subtree: honour USE_ASCIIDOCTOR when set
Defining USE_ASCIIDOCTOR=1 when building Git uses asciidoctor over
asciidoc when generating DocBook and man page documentation.  However,
the contrib/subtree module does not presently honour that flag.

This causes a build failure when asciidoc is not present on the build
system.  Instead, adapt the main Documentation/Makefile logic to use
asciidoctor when requested.

0c977dbc81 diff-highlight: split code into module
The diff-so-fancy project is also written in perl, and most
of its users pipe diffs through both diff-highlight and
diff-so-fancy. It would be nice if this could be done in a
single script. So let's pull most of diff-highlight's code
into its own module which can be used by diff-so-fancy.

In addition, we'll abstract a few basic items like reading
from stdio so that a script using the module can do more
processing before or after diff-highlight handles the lines.
See the README update for more details.

One small downside is that the diff-highlight script must
now be built using the Makefile. There are ways around this,
but it quickly gets into perl arcana. Let's go with the
simple solution. As a bonus, our Makefile now respects the
PERL_PATH variable if it is set.

2c9a2ae285 docs/config: mention protocol implications of url.insteadOf
If a URL rewrite switches the protocol to something
nonstandard (like "persistent-https" for "https"), the user
may be bitten by the fact that the default protocol
restrictions are different between the two. Let's drop a
note in insteadOf that points the user in the right
direction.

It would be nice if we could make this work out of the box,
but we can't without knowing the security implications of
the user's rewrite. Only the documentation for a particular
remote helper can advise one way or the other. Since we do
include the persistent-https helper in contrib/ (and since
it was the helper in the real-world case that inspired that
patch), let's also drop a note there.

0dab2468ee clone: add a --no-tags option to clone without tags
Add a --no-tags option to clone without fetching any tags.

Without this change there's no easy way to clone a repository without
also fetching its tags.

When supplying --single-branch the primary remote branch will be
cloned, but in addition tags will be followed & retrieved. Now
--no-tags can be added --single-branch to clone a repository without
tags, and which only tracks a single upstream branch.

This option works without --single-branch as well, and will do a
normal clone but not fetch any tags.

Many git commands pay some fixed overhead as a function of the number
of references. E.g. creating ~40k tags in linux.git will cause a
command like `git log -1 >/dev/null` to run in over a second instead
of in a matter of milliseconds, in addition numerous other things will
slow down, e.g. "git log <TAB>" with the bash completion will slowly
show ~40k references instead of 1.

The user might want to avoid all of that overhead to simply use a
repository like that to browse the "master" branch, or something like
a CI tool might want to keep that one branch up-to-date without caring
about any other references.

Without this change the only way of accomplishing this was either by
manually tweaking the config in a fresh repository:

    git init git &&
    cat >git/.git/config <<EOF &&
    [remote "origin"]
        url = git@github.com:git/git.git
        tagOpt = --no-tags
        fetch = +refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/master
    [branch "master"]
        remote = origin
        merge = refs/heads/master
    EOF
    cd git &&
    git pull

Which requires hardcoding the "master" name, which may not be the main
--single-branch would have retrieved, or alternatively by setting
tagOpt=--no-tags right after cloning & deleting any existing tags:

    git clone --single-branch git@github.com:git/git.git &&
    cd git &&
    git config remote.origin.tagOpt --no-tags &&
    git tag -l | xargs git tag -d

Which of course was also subtly buggy if --branch was pointed at a
tag, leaving the user in a detached head:

    git clone --single-branch --branch v2.12.0 git@github.com:git/git.git &&
    cd git &&
    git config remote.origin.tagOpt --no-tags &&
    git tag -l | xargs git tag -d

Now all this complexity becomes the much simpler:

    git clone --single-branch --no-tags git@github.com:git/git.git

Or in the case of cloning a single tag "branch":

    git clone --single-branch --branch v2.12.0 --no-tags git@github.com:git/git.git

93fdf301de status: add color config slots for branch info in "--short --branch"
Add color config slots to be used in the status short-format when
displaying local and remote tracking branch information.

[jc: rebased on top of Peff's fix to 'git status' and tweaked the
test to check both local and remote-tracking branch output]

60e71bbcea completion: optionally disable checkout DWIM
When we complete branch names for "git checkout", we also
complete remote branch names that could trigger the DWIM
behavior. Depending on your workflow and project, this can
be either convenient or annoying.

For instance, my clone of gitster.git contains 74 local
"jk/*" branches, but origin contains another 147. When I
want to checkout a local branch but can't quite remember the
name, tab completion shows me 251 entries. And worse, for a
topic that has been picked up for pu, the upstream branch
name is likely to be similar to mine, leading to a high
probability that I pick the wrong one and accidentally
create a new branch.

This patch adds a way for the user to tell the completion
code not to include DWIM suggestions for checkout. This can
already be done by typing:

  git checkout --no-guess jk/<TAB>

but that's rather cumbersome. The downside, of course, is
that you no longer get completion support when you _do_ want
to invoke the DWIM behavior. But depending on your workflow,
that may not be a big loss (for instance, in git.git I am
much more likely to want to detach, so I'd type "git
checkout origin/jk/<TAB>" anyway).
