The previous text was not exactly accurate; it is OK to
change space and minus lines, but only in certain ways. This
patch attempts to cover explicitly what can be done at the
individual line level, and cautions the user that
conceptually larger changes (like modifying a line) require
some understanding of the patch format.

When a line contains nothing but whitespace with at least one tab
and the core.whitespace config option contains blank-at-eol, the
whitespace on the line is being printed twice, once unhighlighted
(unless otherwise matched by one of the other core.whitespace values),
and a second time highlighted for blank-at-eol.
Update the leading indentation check to stop checking when it reaches
the trailing whitespace.

The "shortlog" command defaults to HEAD only when its standard input is

git-pack-objects is already careful to start out its temporary packs
under .git/objects/pack/ (cf. 8b4eb6b, Do not perform cross-directory
renames when creating packs, 2008-09-22), but git-repack did not
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.

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):
[...]
fatal: delta size changed
error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://example.com/foo/bar'

What happened?
Some .mailmap entry is of the <email1> <email2> form,
while a subsequent one looks like "User Name <Email2>,
and the two email addresses on the right are not identical
but are "equal" when using a case-insensitive comparator.
Then, when add_mapping is processing the latter line, new_email is NULL
and we free me->email, yet do not replace it with a new strdup'd string.
Thus, when later we attempt to use the buffer behind that ->email pointer,
we reference freed memory.
The solution is to free ->email and ->name only if we're about to replace them.

There are buggy implementations of S_ISxxx(m) macros on some platforms
(e.g. NetBSD). The issue is that NetBSD doesn't take care to wrap its
macro arguments in parentheses, so on Linux and sane systems we have
S_ISREG(m) defined as something like:
(((m) & S_IFMT) == S_IFREG)
But on NetBSD:
((m & _S_IFMT) == _S_IFREG)
Since a caller in builtin/diff.c called our macro as `S_IFREG | 0644'
this bug introduced a logic error on NetBSD, since the precedence of
bit-wise & is higher than | in C.

The ctype functions isspace(), isalnum(), et al take an integer
argument representing an unsigned character, or -1 for EOF. On
platforms with a signed char, it is unsafe to pass a char to them
without casting it to unsigned char first.
Most of git is already shielded against this by the ctype
implementation in git-compat-util.h, but xdiff, which uses libc
ctype.h, ought to be fixed.

If setup_git_env() is run before the usual repository discovery
sequence and .git is a file with the text
gitdir: <path>
(with <path> any string) then the in-core git_dir variable is set to
the result of converting <path> to an absolute path using
make_absolute_path().
Unfortunately make_absolute_path() returns its result in a static
buffer that is overwritten by later calls. Such a call could cause
later accesses to git_dir (from git_pathdup(), for example) to read
the wrong path, leaving git very confused.
It is not obvious whether any existing code in git will trigger the
problem, but in any case, it is worth a few dozen bytes to copy the
return value from make_absolute_path() for some added peace of mind.
