One long-standing flaw in the pack transfer protocol used by "git
clone" was that there was no way to tell the other end which branch
"HEAD" points at, and the receiving end needed to guess.  A new
capability has been defined in the pack protocol to convey this
information so that cloning from a repository with more than one

reliably sets the initial branch in the resulting repository.

95c62fb9ea subtree: add makefile target for html docs
The Makefile currently builds the roff manpage, but not the
html form. As some people may prefer the latter, let's make
it an option to build that, too. We also wire it into "make
doc" so that it is built by default.

This patch does not build or install it as part of
"install-doc"; that would require extra infrastructure to
handle installing the html as we do in git's regular
Documentation/ tree. That can come later if somebody is
interested.

53039ab154 Avoid difference in tr semantics between System V and BSD
Solaris' tr (both /usr/bin/ and /usr/xpg4/bin) uses the System V
semantics for tr whereby string1's length is truncated to the length
of string2 if string2 is shorter. The BSD semantics, as used by GNU tr
see string2 padded to the length of string1 using the final character
in string2. POSIX explicitly doesn't specify the correct behavior
here, making both equally valid.

This difference means that Solaris' native tr implementations produce
different results for tr ":\t\n" "\0" than GNU tr. This breaks a few
tests in t0008-ignores.sh.

Possible fixes for this are to make string2 be "\0\0\0" or "[\0*]".

Instead, use perl to perform these transliterations which means we
don't need to worry about the difference at all. Since we're replacing
tr with perl, we also use perl to replace the sed invocations used to
transform the files.

Replace four identical transforms with a function named
broken_c_unquote. Replace the other two identical transforms with a
fuction named broken_c_unquote_verbose.

b74cf64803 for-each-ref: avoid loading objects to print %(objectname)
If you ask for-each-ref to print each ref and its object,
like:

  git for-each-ref --format='%(objectname) %(refname)'

this should involve little more work than looking at the ref
files (and packed-refs) themselves. However, for-each-ref
will actually load each object from disk just to print its
sha1. For most repositories, this isn't a big deal, but it
can be noticeable if you have a large number of refs to
print. Here are best-of-five timings for the command above
on a repo with ~10K refs:

  [before]
  real    0m0.112s
  user    0m0.092s
  sys     0m0.016s

  [after]
  real    0m0.014s
  user    0m0.012s
  sys     0m0.000s

This patch checks for %(objectname) and %(objectname:short)
before we actually parse the object (and the rest of the
code is smart enough to avoid parsing if we have filled all
of our placeholders).

Note that we can't simply move the objectname parsing code
into the early loop. If the "deref" form %(*objectname) is
used, then we do need to parse the object in order to peel
the tag. So instead of moving the code, we factor it out
into a separate function that can be called for both cases.

While we're at it, we add some basic tests for the
dereferenced placeholders, which were not tested at all
before. This helps ensure we didn't regress that case.

9462953ad2 cvsserver: Determinize output to combat Perl 5.18 hash randomization
Perl 5.18 randomizes the seed used by its hash function, so iterating
through hashes results in different orders from run to run:
  http://perldoc.perl.org/perl5180delta.html#Hash-overhaul

This usually broke t9400 (gitcvs.dbname, gitcvs.ext.dbname, when
running cmp on two .sqlite files) and t9402 (check [cvswork3] diff,
when running test_cmp on two diffs).

To fix this, hide the internal order of hashes with sort when sending
output or running database queries.

(An alternative workaround is PERL_HASH_SEED=0, but this seems nicer.)

94221d2203 t: use perl instead of "$PERL_PATH" where applicable
As of the last commit, we can use "perl" instead of
"$PERL_PATH" when running tests, as the former is now a
function which uses the latter. As the shorter "perl" is
easier on the eyes, let's switch to using it everywhere.

This is not quite a mechanical s/$PERL_PATH/perl/
replacement, though. There are some places where we invoke
perl from a script we generate on the fly, and those scripts
do not have access to our internal shell functions. The
result can be double-checked by running:

  ln -s /bin/false bin-wrappers/perl
  make test

which continues to pass even after this patch.

a0e0ec9f7d t: provide a perl() function which uses $PERL_PATH
Once upon a time, we assumed that calling a bare "perl" in
the test scripts was OK, because we would find the perl from
the user's PATH, and we were only asking that perl to do
basic operations that work even on old versions of perl.

Later, we found that some systems really prefer to use
$PERL_PATH even for these basic cases, because the system
perl misbehaves in some way (e.g., by handling line endings
differently). We then switched "perl" invocations to
"$PERL_PATH" to respect the user's choice.

Having to use "$PERL_PATH" is ugly and cumbersome, though.
Instead, let's provide a perl() shell function that tests
can use, which will transparently do the right thing.

Unfortunately, test writers still have to use $PERL_PATH in
certain situations, so we still need to keep the advice in
the README.

Note that this may fix test failures in t5004, t5503, t6002,
t6003, t6300, t8001, and t8002, depending on your system's
perl setup. All of these can be detected by running:

  ln -s /bin/false bin-wrappers/perl
  make test

which fails before this patch, and passes after.

f8fc0ee314 t/README: tests can use perl even with NO_PERL
The git build system supports a NO_PERL switch to avoid installing
perl bindings or other features (like "git add --patch") that rely on
perl on runtime, but even with NO_PERL it has not been possible for a
long time to run tests without perl.  Helpers such as

	nul_to_q () {
		"$PERL_PATH" -pe 'y/\000/Q/'
	}

use perl as a better tr or sed and are regularly used in tests without
worrying to add a PERL prerequisite.

Perl is portable enough that it seems fine to keep relying on it for
this kind of thing in tests (and more readable than the alternative of
trying to find POSIXy equivalents).  Update the test documentation to
clarify this.

4a2d5ae262 pathspec: stop --*-pathspecs impact on internal parse_pathspec() uses
Normally parse_pathspec() is used on command line arguments where it
can do fancy thing like parsing magic on each argument or adding magic
for all pathspecs based on --*-pathspecs options.

There's another use of parse_pathspec(), where pathspec is needed, but
the input is known to be pure paths. In this case we usually don't
want --*-pathspecs to interfere. And we definitely do not want to
parse magic in these paths, regardless of --literal-pathspecs.

Add new flag PATHSPEC_LITERAL_PATH for this purpose. When it's set,
--*-pathspecs are ignored, no magic is parsed. And if the caller
allows PATHSPEC_LITERAL (i.e. the next calls can take literal magic),
then PATHSPEC_LITERAL will be set.

This fixes cases where git chokes when GIT_*_PATHSPECS are set because
parse_pathspec() indicates it won't take any magic. But
GIT_*_PATHSPECS add them anyway. These are

   export GIT_LITERAL_PATHSPECS=1
   git blame -- something
   git log --follow something
   git log --merge

"git ls-files --with-tree=path" (aka parse_pathspec() in
overlay_tree_on_cache()) is safe because the input is empty, and
producing one pathspec due to PATHSPEC_PREFER_CWD does not take any
magic into account.

4d715ac05c Windows: a test_cmp that is agnostic to random LF <> CRLF conversions
In a number of tests, output that was produced by a shell script is
compared to expected output using test_cmp. Unfortunately, the MSYS bash--
when invoked via git, such as in hooks--converts LF to CRLF on output
(as produced by echo and printf), which leads to many false positives.

Implements a diff tool that undoes the converted CRLF. To avoid that
sub-processes are spawned (which is very slow on Windows), the tool is
implemented as a shell function. Diff is invoked as usual only when a
difference is detected by the shell code.

b3e9ce1332 reset: pass real rev name to add--interactive
The add--interactive --patch mode adjusts the UI based on
whether we are pulling changes from HEAD or elsewhere (in
the former case it asks to unstage the reverse hunk, rather
than apply the forward hunk).

Commit 166ec2e taught reset to work on an unborn branch, but
in doing so, switched to always providing add--interactive
with the sha1 rather than the symbolic name. This meant we
always used the "apply" interface, even for "git reset -p
HEAD".

We can fix this by passing the symbolic name to
add--interactive.  Since it understands unborn branches
these days, we do not even have to cover this special case
ourselves; we can simply pass HEAD.

The tests in t7105 now check that the right interface is
used in each circumstance (and notice the regression from
166ec2e we are fixing). The test in t7106 checks that we
get this right for the unborn case, too (not a regression,
since it didn't work at all before, but a nice improvement).

a4165851e7 silence gcc array-bounds warning
In shorten_unambiguous_ref, we build and cache a reverse-map of the
rev-parse rules like this:

  static char **scanf_fmts;
  static int nr_rules;
  if (!nr_rules) {
	  for (; ref_rev_parse_rules[nr_rules]; nr_rules++)
		  ... generate scanf_fmts ...
  }

where ref_rev_parse_rules is terminated with a NULL pointer.
Compiling with "gcc -O2 -Wall" does not cause any problems, but
compiling with "-O3 -Wall" generates:

  $ make CFLAGS='-O3 -Wall' refs.o
  refs.c: In function ‘shorten_unambiguous_ref’:
  refs.c:3379:29: warning: array subscript is above array bounds [-Warray-bounds]
     for (; ref_rev_parse_rules[nr_rules]; nr_rules++)

Curiously, we can silence this by explicitly nr_rules to 0
in the beginning of the loop, even though the compiler
should be able to tell that we follow this code path only
when nr_rules is already 0.

38db01b7fb drop redundant semicolon in empty while
The extra semi-colon is harmless, since we really do want
the while loop to do nothing. But it does trigger a warning
from clang.

af2a651d2e checkout_entry(): clarify the use of topath[] parameter
The said function has this signature:

	extern int checkout_entry(struct cache_entry *ce,
				  const struct checkout *state,
				  char *topath);

At first glance, it might appear that the caller of checkout_entry()
can specify to which path the contents are written out by the last
parameter, and it is tempting to add "const" in front of its type.

In reality, however, topath[] is to point at a buffer to store the
temporary path generated by the callchain originating from this
function, and the temporary path is always short, much shorter than
the buffer prepared by its only caller in builtin/checkout-index.c.

Document the code a bit to clarify so that future callers know how
to use the function better.

fd356f6aa8 entry.c: convert checkout_entry to use strbuf
The old code does not do boundary check so any paths longer than
PATH_MAX can cause buffer overflow. Replace it with strbuf to handle
paths of arbitrary length.

The OS may reject if the path is too long though. But in that case we
report the cause (e.g. name too long) and usually move on to checking
out the next entry.

70900eda4a http.c: Spell the null pointer as NULL
Commit 1bbcc224 ("http: refactor options to http_get_*", 28-09-2013)
changed the type of final 'options' argument of the http_get_file()
function from an int to an 'struct http_get_options' pointer.
However, it neglected to update the (single) call site. Since this
call was passing '0' to that argument, it was (correctly) being
interpreted as a null pointer. Change to argument to NULL.

Noticed by sparse. ("Using plain integer as NULL pointer")
