65969d4 (merge: honor prepare-commit-msg hook, 2011-02-14) tried to
make "git commit" and "git merge" consistent, because a merge that
required user assistance has to be concluded with "git commit", but
back then only "git commit" triggered prepare-commit-msg hook.
When it added a call to run the prepare-commit-msg hook, however, it
forgot to check the exit code from the hook like "git commit" does,
and ended up replacing one inconsistency with another.
When prepare-commit-msg hook that is run from "git merge" exits with
a non-zero status, abort the commit.

The test Makefile knows about a few "lint" checks for common
errors. However, they are not enabled as part of "make test"
by default, which means that many people do not bother
running them. Since they are both quick to run and accurate
(i.e., no false positives), there should be no harm in
turning them on and helping submitters catch errors earlier.
We could just set:
TEST_LINT = test-lint
to enable all tests. But that would be unnecessarily
annoying later on if we add slower or less accurate tests
that should not be part of the default. Instead, we name the
tests individually.

find_branch_name() assumes to take refs/heads/<branch>. But we also
have symbolic refs, such as HEAD, that can point to a valid branch in
refs/heads and do not follow refs/heads/<branch> syntax. Remove the
assumption and apply normal ref resolution. After all it would be
confusing if rev machinery resolves a ref in one way and
find_branch_name() another.

Add the perl script "check-non-portable-shell.pl" to detect
non-portable shell syntax.
"echo -n" is an example of a shell command working on Linux, but not
on Mac OS X.
These shell commands are checked and reported as error:
- "echo -n" (printf should be used)
- "sed -i" (GNUism; use a temp file instead)
- "declare" (bashism, often used with arrays)
- "which" (unreliable exit status and output; use type instead)
- "test a == b" (bashism for "test a = b")
"make test-lint-shell-syntax" can be used to run only the check.

Starting with v1.7.12-rc0~4^2 (build: reconfigure automatically if
configure.ac changes, 2012-07-19), "config.status --recheck" is
automatically run every time the "configure" script changes. In
particular, that means the configuration procedure repeats whenever
the version number changes (since the configure script changes to
support "./configure --version" and "./configure --help"), making
bisecting painfully slow.
The intent was to make the reconfiguration process only trigger for
changes to configure.ac's logic. Tweak the Makefile rule to match
that intent by depending on configure.ac instead of configure.

The current behavior of git-status is inconsistent and misleading.
Especially when used with --untracked-files=all option:
- files ignored in untracked directories will be missing from
status output.
- untracked files in committed yet ignored directories are also
missing.
- with --untracked-files=normal, untracked directories that
contains only ignored files are dropped too.
Make the behavior more consistent across all possible use cases:
- "--ignored --untracked-files=normal" doesn't show each specific
files but top directory. It instead shows untracked directories
that only contains ignored files, and ignored tracked directories
with untracked files.
- "--ignored --untracked-files=all" shows all ignored files, either
because it's in an ignored directory (tracked or untracked), or
because the file is explicitly ignored.

"**" is adjusted to only be effective when surrounded by slashes, in
40bbee0 (wildmatch: adjust "**" behavior - 2012-10-15). Except that
the commit did it wrong:
1. when it checks for "the preceding slash unless ** is at the
beginning", it compares to wrong pointer. It should have compared
to the beginning of the pattern, not the text.
2. prev_p points to the character before "**", not the first "*". The
correct comparison must be "prev_p < pattern" or
"prev_p + 1 == pattern", not "prev_p == pattern".
3. The pattern must be surrounded by slashes unless it's at the
beginning or the end of the pattern. We do two checks: one for the
preceding slash and one the trailing slash. Both checks must be
met. The use of "||" is wrong.
This patch fixes all above.

The credit lines "By" and "Via" to credit authors and committers for
their contributions on the side branch are meant as a hint to the
integrator to decide whom to mention in the log message text. After
the integrator saves the message in the editor, they are meant to go
away and that is why they are commented out.
When a merge is recorded without editing the generated message,
however, its contents do not go through the normal stripspace()
and these lines are left in the merge.
Stop producing them when we know the merge is going to be recorded
without editing, i.e. when --no-edit is given.

When testing aliases in t/t1020-subdirectory.sh use longer names so that
they're less likely to conflict with a git-* command somewhere in the
$PATH.
I have a git-ss command in my path which prevents the 'ss' alias from
being used. This command will always fail for git.git, causing the test
to fail. Even if the command succeeded, that would be a false success
for the test since the alias wasn't actually used. A longer, more
descriptive name will make it much less likely that somebody has a
command in their $PATH which will shadow the alias created for the test.
While here, use a longer name for the 'test' alias as well since that is
also short and meaningful enough to make it not unlikely that somebody
would have a command in their $PATH which will shadow that as well.
