The function takes a user-supplied string that is supposed to be a branch
name, and puts it in a strbuf after expanding possible shorthand notation.
A handful of open coded sequence to do this in the existing code have been
changed to use this helper function.

These allow you to say "git checkout @{-2}" to switch to the branch two
"branch switching" ago by pretending as if you typed the name of that
branch. As it is likely that we will be introducing more short-hands to
write the name of a branch without writing it explicitly, rename the
functions from "nth_last_branch" to more generic "branch_name", to prepare
for different semantics.

When --pickaxe-regex is used, forward past the end of matches instead of
advancing to the byte after their start. This way matches count only
once, even if the regular expression matches their tail -- like in the
fixed-string fork of the code.
E.g.: /.*/ used to count the number of bytes instead of the number of
lines. /aa/ resulted in a count of two in "aaa" instead of one.
Also document the fact that regexec() needs a NUL-terminated string as
its second argument by adding an assert().

The import-tars script is typically employed to (re)create the past
history of a project from stored tars. Although assigning authorship in
these cases can be a somewhat arbitrary process, it makes sense to set
the author to whoever created the tars in the first place (if it's
known), and (s)he can in general be different from the committer
(whoever is running the script).
Implement this by having separate author and committer data, making them
settable from the usual GIT_* environment variables.

MSYS's bash rewrites /something/bin/... into a Windows path that looks like
c:/msysgit/something/bin/... before git sees it. But later the test case
verifies that the path was used and compares it to the unmangled version.
This fails, of course. This make the path relative so that the path
mangling is not triggered.

We do not have /dev/zero on Windows. This replaces it by data generated
with printf, perl, or echo. Most of the cases do not depend on that the
data is a stream of zero bytes, so we use something printable; nor is an
unlimited stream of data needed, so we produce only as many bytes as the
test cases need.

On Windows, there is an unfortunate interaction between the MSYS bash and
git's command line processing:
- Since Windows's CMD does not do the wildcard expansion, but passes
arguments like path* through to the programs, the programs must do the
expansion themselves. This happens in the startup code before main() is
entered.
- bash, however, passes the argument "path*" to git, assuming that git will
see the unquoted word unchanged as a single argument.
But actually git expands the unquoted word before main() is entered.
In t2200, not all names that the test case is interested in exist as files
at the time when 'git ls-files' is invoked. git expands "path?" to only
the subset of files the exist, and only that subset was listed, so that the
test failed. We now list all interesting paths explicitly.
In t7004, git exanded the pattern "*a*" to "actual" (the file that stdout
was redirected to), which is not what the was tested for. We fix it by
renaming the output file (and removing any existing files matching *a*).
This was originally fixed by Johannes Schindelin.

On Windows, you cannot remove files that are in use, not even with
'rm -rf'. So we need to run 'exec <foo/bar' inside a subshell lest
removing the whole test repository fail.

This function replaces sequences of 'chmod +x' and 'git update-index
--chmod=+x' in the test suite, whose purpose is to help filesystems
that need core.filemode=false. Two places where only 'chmod +x' was used
we also use this new function.
The function calls 'git update-index --chmod' without checking
core.filemode (unlike some of the call sites did). We do this because the
call sites *expect* that the executable bit ends up in the index (ie. it
is not the purpose of the call sites to *test* whether git treats
'chmod +x' and 'update-index --chmod=+x' correctly). Therefore, on
filesystems with core.filemode=true the 'git update-index --chmod' is a
no-op.
The function uses --add with update-index to help one call site in
t6031-merge-recursive. It makes no difference for the other callers.
