We currently call parse_commit and then assume we can
dereference the resulting "tree" struct field. If parsing
failed, however, that field is NULL and we end up
segfaulting.
Instead of a segfault, let's print an error message and die
a little more gracefully.
Note that this should never happen in practice, but may
happen in a corrupt repository.

In shorten_unambiguous_ref, we build and cache a reverse-map of the
rev-parse rules like this:
static char **scanf_fmts;
static int nr_rules;
if (!nr_rules) {
for (; ref_rev_parse_rules[nr_rules]; nr_rules++)
... generate scanf_fmts ...
}
where ref_rev_parse_rules is terminated with a NULL pointer.
Compiling with "gcc -O2 -Wall" does not cause any problems, but
compiling with "-O3 -Wall" generates:
$ make CFLAGS='-O3 -Wall' refs.o
refs.c: In function ‘shorten_unambiguous_ref’:
refs.c:3379:29: warning: array subscript is above array bounds [-Warray-bounds]
for (; ref_rev_parse_rules[nr_rules]; nr_rules++)
Curiously, we can silence this by explicitly nr_rules to 0
in the beginning of the loop, even though the compiler
should be able to tell that we follow this code path only
when nr_rules is already 0.

The said function has this signature:
extern int checkout_entry(struct cache_entry *ce,
const struct checkout *state,
char *topath);
At first glance, it might appear that the caller of checkout_entry()
can specify to which path the contents are written out by the last
parameter, and it is tempting to add "const" in front of its type.
In reality, however, topath[] is to point at a buffer to store the
temporary path generated by the callchain originating from this
function, and the temporary path is always short, much shorter than
the buffer prepared by its only caller in builtin/checkout-index.c.
Document the code a bit to clarify so that future callers know how
to use the function better.

The old code does not do boundary check so any paths longer than
PATH_MAX can cause buffer overflow. Replace it with strbuf to handle
paths of arbitrary length.
The OS may reject if the path is too long though. But in that case we
report the cause (e.g. name too long) and usually move on to checking
out the next entry.

Commit 1bbcc224 ("http: refactor options to http_get_*", 28-09-2013)
changed the type of final 'options' argument of the http_get_file()
function from an int to an 'struct http_get_options' pointer.
However, it neglected to update the (single) call site. Since this
call was passing '0' to that argument, it was (correctly) being
interpreted as a null pointer. Change to argument to NULL.
Noticed by sparse. ("Using plain integer as NULL pointer")

The --octopus, --independent and --is-ancestor are mutually

so these are now separately checked in each command mode.

git-fast-import documentation says that paths can be C-style quoted.
Unfortunately, the current remote-hg helper doesn't unquote quoted
path and pass them as-is to Mercurial when the commit is created.
This results in the following situation:
- clone a mercurial repository with git
- add a file with space in a directory: `>dir/foo\ bar`
- commit that new file, and push the change to mercurial
- the mercurial repository now has a new directory named '"dir',
which contains a file named 'foo bar"'
Use Python str.decode('string-escape') to unquote the string if it
starts and ends with ". It has been tested with quotes, spaces, and
utf-8 encoded file-names.

In send_pack(), clear the fd passed to pack_objects() by setting
it to -1, since pack_objects() closes the fd (via a call to
run_command()). Likewise, in get_pack(), clear the fd passed to

Not doing so risks having git_transport_push(), caller of

some other open file; or similarly with fetch_refs_from_pack(),

--valgrind-parallel was broken from the start: during review I made
the whole valgrind setup code conditional on not being a
--valgrind-parallel worker child. But even the children crucially
need $GIT_VALGRIND to be set; it should therefore have been set
outside the conditional.
The fix would be a two-liner, but since the introduction of the
feature, almost four months have passed without anyone noticing that
it is broken. So this feature is not worth the about hundred lines of
test-lib.sh complexity. Revert it.

The gitk manpage suffers from a bit of neglect: there have been only
minor changes, and no changes to the set of options documented, since
a2df1fb (Documentation: New GUI configuration and command-line
options., 2008-11-13). In the meantime, the set of rev-list options
has been expanded several times by options that are useful in gitk,
e.g., --ancestry-path and the optional globbing for --branches, --tags
and --remotes.
Restructure and expand the manpage. List more options that the author
perceives as useful, while remaining somewhat terse. Ideally the user
should not have to look up any of the references, but we dispense with
precise explanations in some places and refer to git-log(1) instead.
Note that the options that have an easy GUI equivalent (e.g.,
--word-diff, -S, --grep) are deliberately not listed even in the cases
where they simply fill in the GUI fields.

When parse_pathspec() is called with no paths, the behavior could be
either return no paths, or return one path that is cwd. Some commands
do the former, some the latter. parse_pathspec() itself does not make
either the default and requires the caller to specify either flag if
it may run into this situation.
I've grep'd through all parse_pathspec() call sites. Some pass
neither, but those are guaranteed never pass empty path to
parse_pathspec(). There are two call sites that may pass empty path
and are fixed with this patch.

The previous code was detecting the presence of "--" by looking only at
argument 1. As a result, "git checkout foo bar --" was interpreted as an
ambiguous file/revision list, and errored out with:
error: pathspec 'foo' did not match any file(s) known to git.
error: pathspec 'bar' did not match any file(s) known to git.
error: pathspec '--' did not match any file(s) known to git.

"--", and now complains about the number of references given.

The "--" notation disambiguates files and branches, but as a side-effect
of the previous implementation, also disabled the branch auto-creation
when $branch does not exist.
A possible scenario is then:
git checkout $branch
=> fails if $branch is both a ref and a file, and suggests --
git checkout $branch --
=> refuses to create the $branch
This patch allows the second form to create $branch, and since the -- is
provided, it does not look for file named $branch.

This file isn't really harmful, but isn't useful either, and can create
minor annoyance for the user:
* It's confusing, as the presence of a *.pid file often implies that a
process is currently running. A user running "ls .git/" and finding
this file may incorrectly guess that a "git gc" is currently running.
* Leaving this file means that a "git gc" in an already gc-ed repo is
no-longer a no-op. A user running "git gc" in a set of repositories,
and then synchronizing this set (e.g. rsync -av, unison, ...) will see
all the gc.pid files as changed, which creates useless noise.
This patch unlinks the file after the garbage collection is done, so that
gc.pid is actually present only during execution.
Future versions of Git may want to use the information left in the gc.pid
file (e.g. for policies like "don't attempt to run a gc if one has
already been ran less than X hours ago"). If so, this patch can safely be
reverted. For now, let's not bother the users.
