It fed two arguments to override the corresponding global variables,
but the caller always assigned the values to the global variables
first and then passed those global variables to this function.

We currently point the HEAD of a newly cloned repo to the
same ref as the parent repo's HEAD. While a user can then
"git checkout -b foo origin/foo" whichever branch they
choose, it is more convenient and more efficient to tell
clone which branch you want in the first place.

git-log: allow --decorate[=short|full]
Minor improvement to the write-tree documentation
git-bisect: call the found commit "*the* first bad commit"
Commit de435ac0 changed the behavior of --decorate from printing the
full ref (e.g., "refs/heads/master") to a shorter, more human-readable
version (e.g., just "master"). While this is nice for human readers,
external tools using the output from "git log" may prefer the full
version.
This patch introduces an extension to --decorate to allow the caller to
specify either the short or the full versions.

When checkout sees that HEAD points to a non-existent ref,
it currently acts as if "-f" was given; this behavior dates
back to 5a03e7f, which enabled checkout from unborn branches
in the shell version of "git-checkout". The reasoning given
is to avoid the code path which tries to merge the tree
contents. When checkout was converted to C, this code
remained intact.
The unfortunate side effect of this strategy is that the
"force" code path will overwrite working tree and index
state that may be precious to the user. Instead of enabling
"force", this patch uses the normal "merge" codepath for an
unborn branch, but substitutes the empty tree for the "old"
commit.
This means that in the absence of an index, any files in the
working tree will be treated as untracked files, and a
checkout which would overwrite them is aborted. Similarly,
any paths in the index will be merged with an empty entry
as the base, meaning that unless the new branch's content is
identical to what's in the index, there will be a conflict
and the checkout will be aborted.
The user is then free to correct the situation or proceed
with "-f" as appropriate.
This patch also removes the "warning: you are on a branch
yet to be born" message. Its function was to warn the user
that we were enabling the "-f" option. Since we are no
longer doing that, there is no reason for the user to care
whether we are switching away from an unborn branch.

If all refs sent by the remote repo during a fetch are reachable
locally, then no further conversation is performed with the remote. This
check is skipped when the --depth argument is provided to allow the
deepening of a shallow clone which corresponding remote repo has no
changed.
However, some additional filtering was added in commit c29727d5 to
remove those refs which are equal on both sides. If the remote repo has
not changed, then the list of refs to give the remote process becomes
empty and simply attempting to deepen a shallow repo always fails.
Let's stop being smart in that case and simply send the whole list over
when that condition is met. The remote will do the right thing anyways.
Test cases for this issue are also provided.

verify_absent() and verify_uptodate() are used to ensure worktree
is safe to be updated, then CE_REMOVE or CE_UPDATE will be set.
Finally check_updates() bases on CE_REMOVE, CE_UPDATE and the
recently added CE_WT_REMOVE to update working directory accordingly.
The entries that are checked may eventually be left out of checkout
area (done later in apply_sparse_checkout()). We don't want to update
outside checkout area. This patch teaches Git to assume "good",
skip these checks when it's sure those entries will be outside checkout
area, and clear CE_REMOVE|CE_UPDATE that could be set due to this
assumption.

With skip-worktree bit, you can manually set it to unwanted files,
then remove them: you would have the so-called sparse checkout. The
disadvantages are:
- Porcelain tools are not aware of this. Everytime you do an
operation that may update working directory, skip-worktree may be
cleared out. You have to set them again.
- You still have to remove skip-worktree'd files manually, which is
boring and ineffective.
These will be addressed in the following patches. This patch gives an
idea what is "sparse checkout" in Documentation/git-read-tree.txt.
This file is chosen instead of git-checkout.txt because it is quite
technical and user-unfriendly. I'd expect git-checkout.txt to have
something when Porcelain support is done.

This adds index as a prerequisite for directory listing (with
exclude). At the moment directory listing is used by "git clean",
"git add", "git ls-files" and "git status"/"git commit" and
unpack_trees()-related commands. These commands have been
checked/modified to populate index before doing directory listing.
