You can detach the HEAD at an arbitrary commit in order to browse the
files in various points in the history or build older versions of the
software, without recording any new commit, and come back to an existing
branch. When used in this "sightseer" mode, detached HEAD is a perfectly
safe mechanism. It also is a useful state to experiment with throw-away
commits.
When coming back to an existing branch with "git checkout master",
however, the commits that were created on the detached HEAD will become
unreachable from anywhere but the reflog of the HEAD. Check if the commit
we are about to leave is connected to some ref, and give a final warning
otherwise to remind the user for safety.

Instead of stripping space characters past the beginning of the
line and overflowing a buffer, stop at the beginning of the line
(mimicking the corresponding fix in remote-fd).
The argument to isspace does not need to be cast explicitly because
git isspace takes care of that already.

Since the message advises to fix the configuration first, the
advantage of using this command is that it is cut-and-paste ready,
while using --author='...' requires the user to type his name and

get_git_work_tree() takes input as core.worktree, core.bare,
GIT_WORK_TREE and decides correct worktree setting.
Unfortunately it does not do its job well. core.worktree and
GIT_WORK_TREE should only be taken into account, if GIT_DIR is set
(which is handled by setup_explicit_git_dir). For other setup cases,
only core.bare matters.
Add a temporary variable setup_explicit to adjust get_git_work_tree()
behavior as such. This variable will be gone once setup_* rework is
done.
Also remove is_bare_repository_cfg check in set_git_work_tree() to
ease the rework. We are going to check for core.bare and core.worktree
early before setting worktree. For example, if core.bare is true, no
need to set worktree.

When determine_author_info() returns to the calling prepare_to_commit(),
we already know the pieces of information necessary to determine what
author ident will be used in the final message, but deferred making a call
to fmt_ident() before the final commit_tree(). Most importantly, we would
open the editor to ask the user to compose the log message before it.
As one important side effect of fmt_ident() is to error out when the given
information is malformed, this resulted in us spawning the editor first
and then refusing to commit due to error, even though we had enough
information to detect the error before starting the editor, which was
annoying.
Move the fmt_ident() call to the end of determine_author_info() where we
have final determination of author info to rectify this.

All files that include this header file use the same four line
incantation:

Move the responsibility for that gymnastics to the header file from the

services that are related to threading in thread-utils.h and have them
available to all the threading code.

Now that struct commit.util is not used until after we've checked that
the argument doesn't exactly match a tag, we can wait until then to
look up the commits for each tag.
This avoids a lot of I/O on --exact-match queries in repositories with
many tags. For example, 'git describe --exact-match HEAD' becomes
about 12 times faster on a cold cache (3.2s instead of 39s) in a
linux-2.6 repository with 2000 packed tags. That is a huge win for the
interactivity of the __git_ps1 shell prompt helper when on a detached
HEAD.

describe is currently forced to look up the commit at each tag in
order to store the struct commit_name pointers in struct commit.util.
For --exact-match queries, those lookups are wasteful. In preparation
for removing them, put the commit_names into a hash table, indexed by
commit SHA1, that can be used to quickly check for exact matches.

--refresh and --really-refresh accept flags (like -q) and modify
an error indicator. It might make sense to make the error
indicator global, but just pass the flags and a pointer to the error
indicator in a struct instead.
--cacheinfo wants 3 arguments. Use the OPTION_LOWLEVEL_CALLBACK
extension to grab them and PARSE_OPT_NOARG to disallow the "sticked"
--cacheinfo=foo form. (The resulting message
$ git update-index --cacheinfo=foo
error: option `cacheinfo' takes no value
is unfortunately incorrect.)
--assume-unchanged and --no-assume-unchanged probably should use the
OPT_UYN feature; but use a callback for now so the existing MARK_FLAG
and UNMARK_FLAG values can be used.
--stdin and --index-info are still constrained to be the last argument
(implemented using the OPTION_LOWLEVEL_CALLBACK extension).
--unresolve and --again consume all arguments that come after them
(also using OPTION_LOWLEVEL_CALLBACK).
The order of options matters. Each path on the command line is
affected only by the options that come before it. A custom
argument-parsing loop with parse_options_step() brings that about.
In exchange for all the fuss, we get the usual perks: support for
un-sticked options, better usage error messages, more useful -h
output, and argument parsing code that should be easier to tweak
in the future.

parse_options_check() is being called for each invocation of
parse_options_step which can be quite a bit for some commands. The
commit introducing this function cb9d398 (parse-options: add
parse_options_check to validate option specs., 2009-06-09) had the
correct motivation and explicitly states that parse_options_check()
should be called from parse_options_start(). However, the implementation
differs from the motivation. Fix it.
