When we are doing a destructive operation like "git prune",
we want to be extra careful that the set of reachable tips
we compute is valid. If there is any corruption or oddity,
we are better off aborting the operation and letting the
user figure things out rather than plowing ahead and
possibly deleting some data that cannot be recovered.
The tests here include:
1. Pruning objects mentioned only be refs with invalid
names. This used to abort prior to d0f810f (refs.c:
allow listing and deleting badly named refs,
2014-09-03), but since then we silently ignore the tip.
Likewise, we test repacking that can drop objects
(either "-ad", which drops anything unreachable,
or "-Ad --unpack-unreachable=<time>", which tries to
optimize out a loose object write that would be
directly pruned).
2. Pruning objects when some refs point to missing
objects. We don't know whether any dangling objects
would have been reachable from the missing objects. We
are better to keep them around, as they are better than
nothing for helping the user recover history.
3. Packed refs that point to missing objects can sometimes
be dropped. By itself, this is more of an annoyance
(you do not have the object anyway; even if you can
recover it from elsewhere, all you are losing is a
placeholder for your state at the time of corruption).
But coupled with (2), if we drop the ref and then go
on to prune, we may lose unrecoverable objects.
Note that we use test_might_fail for some of the operations.
In some cases, it would be appropriate to abort the
operation, and in others, it might be acceptable to continue
but taking the information into account. The tests don't
care either way, and check only for data loss.

heuristics. The tests and their prerequisites have been updated to
check what they really require.

The documentation of 'git submodule update' has several problems:
1) It mentions that value 'none' of submodule.$name.update can be
overridden by --checkout, but other combinations of configuration
values and command line options are not mentioned.
2) The documentation of submodule.$name.update is scattered across three
places, which is confusing.
3) The documentation of submodule.$name.update in gitmodules.txt is
incorrect, because the code always uses the value from .git/config
and never from .gitmodules.
4) Documentation of --force was incomplete, because it is only effective
in case of checkout method of update.
Fix all these problems by documenting submodule.*.update in
git-submodule.txt and make everybody else refer to it.

Sun Studio on Solaris issues warnings about improper initialization
values being used when defining tolower_trans_tbl[] in ctype.c. The
array wants to store values with high-bit set and treat them as
values between 128 to 255. Unlike the rest of the Git codebase
where we explicitly specify 'unsigned char' for such variables and
arrays, however, kwset code we borrowed from elsewhere uses 'char'
for this and other variables.
Fix the declarations to explicitly use 'unsigned char' where
necessary to bring it in line with the rest of the Git.

When --shortstat is used in conjunction with --dirstat=changes, git diff will
output the dirstat information twice: first as calculated by the 'lines'
algorithm, then as calculated by the 'changes' algorithm:
$ git diff --dirstat=changes,10 --shortstat v2.2.0..v2.2.1
23 files changed, 453 insertions(+), 54 deletions(-)
33.5% Documentation/RelNotes/
26.2% t/
46.6% Documentation/RelNotes/
16.6% t/
The same duplication happens for --shortstat together with --dirstat=files, but
not for --shortstat together with --dirstat=lines.
Limit output to only include one dirstat part, calculated as specified
by the --dirstat parameter. Also, add test for this.

The rename code cannot handle an input where we have
duplicate destinations (i.e., more than one diff_filepair in
the queue with the same string in its pair->two->path). We
end up allocating only one slot in the rename_dst mapping.
If we fill in the diff_filepair for that slot, when we
re-queue the results, we may queue that filepair multiple
times. When the diff is finally flushed, the filepair is
processed and free()d multiple times, leading to heap
corruption.
This situation should only happen when a tree diff sees
duplicates in one of the trees (see the added test for a
detailed example). Rather than handle it, the sanest thing
is just to turn off rename detection altogether for the
diff.

This function manages the mapping of destination pathnames
to filepairs, and it handles both insertion and lookup. This
makes the return value a bit confusing, as we return a newly
created entry (even though no caller cares), and have no
room to indicate to the caller that an entry already
existed.
Instead, let's break this up into two distinct functions,
both backed by a common binary search. The binary search
will use our normal "return the index if we found something,
or negative index minus one to show where it would have
gone" semantics.
