When the child process's environment is set up in start_command(), error
messages were written to wherever the parent redirected the child's stderr
channel. However, even if the parent redirected the child's stderr, errors
during this setup process, including the exec itself, are usually an
indication of a problem in the parent's environment. Therefore, the error
messages should go to the parent's stderr.
Redirection of the child's error messages is usually only used to redirect
hook error messages during client-server exchanges. In these cases, hook
setup errors could be regarded as information leak.
This patch makes a copy of stderr if necessary and uses a special
die routine that is used for all die() calls in the child that sends the
errors messages to the parent's stderr.
The trace call that reported a failed execvp is removed (because it writes
to stderr) and replaced by die_errno() with special treatment of ENOENT.
The improvement in the error message can be seen with this sequence:
mkdir .git/hooks/pre-commit
git commit
Previously, the error message was
error: cannot run .git/hooks/pre-commit: No such file or directory
and now it is
fatal: cannot exec '.git/hooks/pre-commit': Permission denied

If one had multiple URLs configured for remote with previous one
having forced helper but the subsequent one not, like:
url = foo::bar://baz
url = ssh://example/example.git
Then the subsequent URL is passed to foo helper, which isn't
correct. Fix it to be parsed normally by resetting foreign VCS
name before parsing the URL protocol.

I just wanted to add the recently learnt '--reset-author' option, but
then noticed that there are many more options missing. This patch
adds support for all of 'git commit's options, except '--allow-empty',
because it is primarily there for foreign scm interfaces.
Furthermore, this patch also adds support for completing the arguments
of those options that take a non-filename argument: valid modes are
offered for '--cleanup' and '--untracked-files', while refs for
'--reuse-message' and '--reedit-message', because these two take a
commit as argument.

What used to happen is that diffcore_count_changes() simply ignored any
hashes in the destination that didn't match hashes in the source. EXCEPT
if the source hash didn't exist at all, in which case it would count _one_
destination hash that happened to have the "next" hash value. As a
consequence, newly added material was often undercounted, making output
from --dirstat and "complete rewrite" detection used by -B unrelialble.
This changes it so that:
- whenever it bypasses a destination hash (because it doesn't match a
source), it counts the bytes associated with that as "literal added"
- at the end (once we have used up all the source hashes), we do the same
thing with the remaining destination hashes.
- when hashes do match, and we use the difference in counts as a value,
we also use up that destination hash entry (the 'd++').

The existing code checked to make sure we were not in a bare
repository when doing a hard reset. However, we should take
this one step further, and make sure we are in a worktree.
Otherwise, we can end up munging files inside of '.git'.
Furthermore, we should do the same check for --merge resets,
which have the same properties. Actually, a merge reset of
HEAD^ would already complain, since further down in the code
we want a worktree. However, it is nicer to check up-front;
then we are sure we cover all cases ("git reset --merge"
would run, even though it wasn't doing anything) and we can
give a more specific message.
Add tests to t7103 to cover these cases and some missing ones.

The rr-cache directory should always exist if we are doing
garbage collection (earlier code paths check this
explicitly), but we may not necessarily succeed in opening
it (for example, due to permissions problems). In that case,
we should print an error message rather than simply

Newer DocBook stylesheets want man.base.url.for.relative.links
parameter set when formatting manpages with external references
to turn them into full URLs, and leave a helpful "you should
set this parameter" message in the output. Earlier we added
the MAN_BASE_URL make variable to specify the value for it.
When MAN_BASE_URL is not given, it ought to be safe to set the
parameter to empty; it would result in an empty leading path for
older stylesheets that ignore the parameter, and newer ones
would produce the same "relative URL" without the message.
Unfortunately, older xmlto (at least version 0.0.18 released in
early 2004 that comes with RHEL/CentOS 5) does not understand
the --stringparam command line option, so we cannot add the
parameter definition unconditionally to the command line. Work
it around by passing the parameter only when set.
If you do not have a suitable URL prefix, you can pass a quoted empty
string to it, like so:
$ make MAN_BASE_URL='""'

When loading a notes tree, the code primarily looks for SHA1-like paths
whose total length (discounting directory separators) are 40 chars
(interpreted as valid note entries) or less (interpreted as subtree
entries that may in turn contain note entries when unpacked).
However, there is an additional condition that must hold for valid
subtree entries: They must be _tree_ objects (duh).
This patch adds an appropriate test for this condition, thereby fixing
the crash that occured when passing a non-tree object to the tree-walk
API.
The patch also adds another selftest verifying correct behaviour of
non-notes in note trees.

The '--no-chain-reply-to' option is a Getopt::Long boolean option. The
'--no-' prefix (as in --no-chain-reply-to) for boolean options is not
supported in Getopt::Long version 2.32 which was released with Perl 5.8.0.
This version only supports '--no' as in '--nochain-reply-to'. More recent
versions of Getopt::Long, such as version 2.34, support either prefix. So
use the older form in the tests.
