Occasionally, it may be useful to prevent branches from getting deleted from
a centralized repository, particularly when no administrative access to the
server is available to undo it via reflog. It also makes
receive.denyNonFastForwards more useful if it is used for access control
since it prevents force-updating by deleting and re-creating a ref.

The comments for normalize_absolute_path explicitly claim
that the source and destination buffers may be the same
(though they may not otherwise overlap). Thus the call to
memcpy may involve copying overlapping data, and memmove
should be used instead.
This fixes a valgrind error in t1504.

In the main loop of find_deltas, we do:
struct object_entry *entry = *list++;
...
if (!*list_size)
...
break
Because we look at and increment *list _before_ the check of
list_size, in the very last iteration of the loop we will
look at uninitialized data, and increment the pointer beyond
one past the end of the allocated space. Since we don't
actually do anything with the data until after the check,
this is not a problem in practice.
But since it technically violates the C standard, and
because it provokes a spurious valgrind warning, let's just
move the initialization of entry to a safe place.
This fixes valgrind errors in t5300, t5301, t5302, t303, and
t9400.

Most cache_entry structs are allocated by using the
cache_entry_size macro, which rounds the size of the struct
up to the nearest multiple of 8 bytes (presumably to avoid
memory fragmentation).
There is one exception: the special "conflict entry" is
allocated with an empty name, and so is explicitly given
just one extra byte to hold the NUL.
However, later code doesn't realize that this particular
struct has been allocated differently, and happily tries
reading and copying it based on the ce_size macro, which
assumes the 8-byte alignment.
This can lead to reading uninitalized data, though since
that data is simply padding, there shouldn't be any problem
as a result. Still, it makes sense to hold the padding
assumption so as not to surprise later maintainers.
This fixes valgrind errors in t1005, t3030, t4002, and
t4114.

Previously, conflict markers were highlighted in two ways: (1) They
received a distinguishing color; and (2) they had the '+' removed at the
beginning of the line. However, by doing (2), a hunk that contained
conflict markers could not be staged or unstaged because the resulting
patch was corrupted. With this change we no longer modify the diff text
of a 2-way diff, so that "Stage Hunk" and friends work.
Note that 3-way diff of a conflicted file is unaffected by this change,
and '++' before conflict markers is still removed. But this has no negative
impact because in this mode staging hunks or lines is disabled anyway.

OpenSSH allows specifying an external program to use
for direct user interaction. While most Linux systems
already have such programs, some environments, for
instance, msysgit, lack it. This patch adds a simple
fallback Tcl implementation of the tool.
In msysgit it is also necessary to set a fake value of
the DISPLAY variable, because otherwise ssh won't even
try to use SSH_ASKPASS handlers.

Generating a new SSH key or finding an existing one may
be a difficult task for non-technical users, especially
on Windows.
This commit adds a new dialog that shows the public key,
or allows the user to generate a new one if none were found.
Since this is a convenience/informational feature for new
users, and the dialog is mostly read-only, it is located
in the Help menu.
The command line used to invoke ssh-keygen is designed to
force it to use SSH_ASKPASS if available, or accept empty
passphrases, but _never_ wait for user response on the tty.

This allows us replace perl when getting the mtime of a file because
of time zone conversions, though at the moment only one platform which
does this has been identified: Cygwin when used with ActiveState Perl
(as usual).
The output format is:
<mtime1> TAB <filename1> <LF>
<mtime2> TAB <filename2> <LF>
...
which, if only mtime is needed can be parsed with cut(1):
test-chmtime -v +0 filename1 | cut -f 1
Also, the change adds a description of programs features, with examples.

The original patch that lead to an earlier commit adbc0b6 (cygwin: Use
native Win32 API for stat, 2008-09-30) did not call git_default_config()
and it was a good thing. The lazy config reading when lstat/stat is
called for the first time to find out if core.filemode is set can happen
anytime in the calling program. If it happens after the calling program
parsed the configuration file to prime its default parameter settings and
processed its command line parameters to tweak them, this will overwrite
the values set by the program with the values read from the config file.
This essentially reverts the code to the version as submitted by Mark,
with a bit more comments to clarify why we do not fall back on the default
configuration parser from git_cygwin_config().

In the alternate_object_database structure, ent->base[] is a buffer the
users can use to form pathnames to loose objects, and ent->name is a
pointer into that buffer (it points at one beyond ".git/objects/"). If
you get a call to add_refs_from_alternate() after somebody used the entry
(has_loose_object() has been called, for example), *ent->name would not be
NUL, and ent->base[] won't be the path to the object store.
This caller is expecting to read the path to the object store in ent->base[];
it needs to NUL terminate the buffer if it wants to.

Of course the IP address can't be used to get strong security;

If a file is different between the working tree copy, the index, and the
HEAD, then we do not allow it to be deleted without --force.
However, this is overly tight in the face of "git add --intent-to-add":
$ git add --intent-to-add file
$ : oops, I don't actually want to stage that yet
$ git rm --cached file
error: 'empty' has staged content different from both the
file and the HEAD (use -f to force removal)
$ git rm -f --cached file
Unfortunately, there is currently no way to distinguish between an empty
file that has been added and an "intent to add" file. The ideal behavior
would be to disallow the former while allowing the latter.
This patch loosens the safety valve to allow the deletion only if we are
deleting the cached entry and the cached content is empty. This covers
the intent-to-add situation, and assumes there is little harm in not
protecting users who have legitimately added an empty file. In many
cases, the file will still be empty, in which case the safety valve does
not trigger anyway (since the content remains untouched in the working
tree). Otherwise, we do remove the fact that no content was staged, but
given that the content is by definition empty, it is not terribly
difficult for a user to recreate it.
However, we still document the desired behavior in the form of two
tests. One checks the correct removal of an intent-to-add file. The other
checks that we still disallow removal of empty files, but is marked as
expect_failure to indicate this compromise. If the intent-to-add feature
is ever extended to differentiate between normal empty files and
intent-to-add files, then the safety valve can be re-tightened.
