lookup_blob() and lookup_tree() can return NULL if they find an object
of an unexpected type. Accessing the object member is undefined in that
case. Cast the result to a struct object pointer instead; we can do
that because object is the first member of all object types. This trick
is already used in other places in the code.
An error message is already shown by object_as_type(), which is called
by the lookup functions. The walk callback functions are expected to
handle NULL object pointers passed to them, but put_object_name() needs
a valid object, so avoid calling it without one.

Peff points out that different atom parsers handle the empty
"sub-argument" list differently. An example of this is the format
"%(refname:)".
Since callers often use `string_list_split` (which splits the empty
string with any delimiter as a 1-ary string_list containing the empty
string), this makes handling empty sub-argument strings non-ergonomic.
Let's fix this by declaring that atom parser implementations must
not care about distinguishing between the empty string "%(refname:)"
and no sub-arguments "%(refname)". Current code aborts, either with
"unrecognised arg" (e.g. "refname:") or "does not take args"
(e.g. "body:") as an error message.

Of the many ways to spell the three-letter word, the variant "Git"
should be used when referring to a repository in a description; or, in
general, when it is used as a proper noun.
We thus change the pull-request template message so that it reads
"...in the Git repository at:"
Besides, this brings us in line with the documentation, see

The ability to exclude paths with a negative pathspec is not mentioned
in the man pages for git grep and other commands where it might be
useful.
Add an example and a pointer to the pathspec glossary entry in the man
page for git grep to help the user to discover this ability.
Add similar pointers from the git-add and git-status man pages.
Additionally,
- Add a test for the behaviour when multiple exclusions are present.
- Add a test for the ^ alias.
- Improve name of existing test.
- Improve grammar in glossary description of the exclude pathspec.

Commit dc944b65f1 (get_sha1_with_context: dynamically
allocate oc->path, 2017-05-19) changed the rules that
callers must follow for seeing if we parsed a path in the
object name. The rules switched from "check if the oc.path
buffer is empty" to "check if the oc.path pointer is NULL".
But that commit forgot to update some sites in
cat_one_file(), meaning we might dereference a NULL pointer.
You can see this by making a path-aware request like
--textconv without specifying --path, and giving an object
name that doesn't have a path in it. Like:
git cat-file --textconv HEAD
which will reliably segfault.

Some implementations of `echo` support the '-e' option to enable
backslash interpretation of the following string.
As an addition, they support '-E' to turn it off.
However, none of these are portable, POSIX doesn't even mention them,
and many implementations don't support them.
A check for '-n' is already done in check-non-portable-shell.pl,
extend it to cover '-n', '-e' or '-E'.

While git doesn't track empty directories, git archive can be tricked
into putting some into archives. One way is to construct an empty tree
object, as t5004 does. While that is supported by the object database,
it can't be represented in the index and thus it's unlikely to occur in
the wild.
Another way is using the literal name of a directory in an exclude
pathspec -- its contents are are excluded, but the directory stub is
included. That's inconsistent: exclude pathspecs containing wildcards
don't leave empty directories in the archive.
Yet another way is have a few levels of nested subdirectories (e.g.
d1/d2/d3/file1) and ignoring the entries at the leaves (e.g. file1).
The directories with the ignored content are ignored as well (e.g. d3),
but their empty parents are included (e.g. d2).
As empty directories are not supported by git, they should also not be
written into archives. If an empty directory is really needed then it
can be tracked and archived by placing an empty .gitignore file in it.
There already is a mechanism in place for suppressing empty directories.
When read_tree_recursive() encounters a directory excluded by a pathspec
then it enters it anyway because it might contain included entries. It
calls the callback function before it is able to decide if the directory
is actually needed. For that reason git archive adds directories to a
queue and writes entries for them only when it encounters the first
child item -- but currently only if pathspecs with wildcards are used.
Queue *all* directories, no matter if there even are pathspecs present.
This prevents git archive from writing entries for empty directories in
all cases.

The git-cvsserver script is old and largely unmaintained
these days. But git-shell allows untrusted users to run it
out of the box, significantly increasing its attack surface.
Let's drop it from git-shell's list of internal handlers so
that it cannot be run by default. This is not backwards
compatible. But given the age and development activity on
CVS-related parts of Git, this is likely to impact very few
users, while helping many more (i.e., anybody who runs
git-shell and had no intention of supporting CVS).
There's no configuration mechanism in git-shell for us to
add a boolean and flip it to "off". But there is a mechanism
for adding custom commands, and adding CVS support here is
fairly trivial. Let's document it to give guidance to
anybody who really is still running cvsserver.

"git apply" that is used as a better "patch -p1" failed to apply a

is not working on the data in (or derived from) the index at all.

The "tag.pager" configuration variable was useless for those who

while taking input in another.

This is a followup over 9d33439 (send-email: only allow one address
per body tag, 2017-02-20). The first iteration did allow writting
Cc: <foo@example.com> # garbage
but did so by matching the regex ([^>]*>?), i.e. stop after the first
instance of '>'. However, it did not properly deal with
Cc: foo@example.com # garbage
Fix this using a new function strip_garbage_one_address, which does
essentially what the old ([^>]*>?) was doing, but dealing with more
corner-cases. Since we've allowed
Cc: "Foo # Bar" <foobar@example.com>
in previous versions, it makes sense to continue allowing it (but we
still remove any garbage after it). OTOH, when an address is given
without quoting, we just take the first word and ignore everything
after.
