The git_config() function signals error by returning -1 in
two instances:
1. An actual error occurs in opening a config file (parse
errors cause an immediate die).
2. Of the three possible config files, none was found.
However, this second case is often not an error at all; it
simply means that the user has no configuration (they are
outside a repo, and they have no ~/.gitconfig file). This
can lead to confusing errors, such as when the bash
completion calls "git config --list" outside of a repo. If
the user has a ~/.gitconfig, the command completes
succesfully; if they do not, it complains to stderr.
This patch allows callers of git_config to distinguish
between the two cases. Error is signaled by -1, and
otherwise the return value is the number of files parsed.
This means that the traditional "git_config(...) < 0" check
for error should work, but callers who want to know whether
we parsed any files or not can still do so.

Commit 5edde51 (fast-import: filemodify after M 040000 <tree> ""

object db as needed when it is time to access them.
But it went too far. In change_note_fanout(), an empty,

load_tree() at that point is exactly the wrong thing to do.

git-gui currently uses its own logic to determine the work-tree setting
but 'git rev-parse --toplevel' directly returns git's work-tree value
by calling get_git_work_tree() and is therefore always correct.
This fixes an inability to handle some repository configurations. In
particular where .git is a file containing a path to the real directory
(a cross-platform symbolic link).
To continue to support older versions than 1.7.0, setting the work-tree
by normalizing the --show-cdup value is more reliable as git-dir might be
outside the work-tree entirely.

git-pack-objects is already careful to start out its temporary packs

respond in kind so the effort was lost when the filesystem boundary is
exactly at that directory.
Let git-repack pass a path under .git/objects/pack/ as the base for
its temporary packs.
This means we might need the $PACKDIR sooner (before the pack-objects
invocation), so move the mkdir up just to be safe.
Also note that the only use of *.pack is in the find invocation way
before the pack-objects call, so the temporary packs will not suddenly
show up in any wildcards because of the directory change.

tree_content_set(root:foo/bar, "", ...)
And as a side-effect of 2794ad5 (fast-import: Allow filemodify to set

the tree entry for root:foo/bar to refer to the specified tree.

For terminal tests that capture output/stderr, the TTY prerequisite
warning does not quite work for commands like
test_terminal foo >out 2>err
because the warning gets "swallowed" up by the redirection that's
supposed only to be done by the subcommand.
Even worse, the outcome depends on whether stdout was already a
terminal (in which case test_terminal is a noop) or not (in which case
test_terminal introduces a pseudo-tty in the middle of the pipeline).
$ test_terminal.perl sh -c 'test -t 1 && echo >&2 YES' >out
YES
$ sh -c 'test -t 1 && echo >&2 YES' >out
$
So:
- use the test_terminal script even when running with "-v".
- skip tests that require a terminal when the test_terminal
script is unusable because IO::Pty is not installed.
- write the "need to declare TTY prerequisite" message to fd 4,
where it will be printed when running tests with -v, rather
than being swallowed up by an unrelated redireciton.

Saying "pack-objects died with strange error" after "pack-objects died
of signal 13" seems kind of redundant. The latter message was
introduced when the run-command API changed to report abnormal exits
on behalf of the caller (v1.6.5-rc0~86^2~5, 2009-07-04).
Similarly, after a controlled pack-objects failure (detectable as a
normal exit with nonzero status), a "died with strange error" message
would be redundant next to the message from pack-objects itself.
So leave off the "strange error" messages.
The result should look something like this:
$ git push sf master
Counting objects: 21542, done.
Compressing objects: 100% (4179/4179), done.
fatal: Unable to create temporary file: Permission denied
error: pack-objects died of signal 13
error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://sf.net/gitroot/project/project'

Or in the "controlled exit" case (contrived example):
