7ca260abfe branch: set remote color in ref-filter branch immediately
We set the current and local branch colors at the top of the
build_format() function. Let's do the same for the remote
color. This saves a little bit of repetition, but more
importantly it puts all of the color-setting in the same
place. That makes it easier to see that we are coloring all
possibilities.

34d820ee33 branch: use BRANCH_COLOR_LOCAL in ref-filter format
Since 949af0684 (branch: use ref-filter printing APIs,
2017-01-10), git-branch's output is generated by passing a
custom format to the ref-filter code. This format forgot to
pass BRANCH_COLOR_LOCAL, meaning that local branches
(besides the current one) were never colored at all.

We can add it in the %(if) block where we decide whether the
branch is "current" or merely "local".  Note that this means
the current/local coloring is either/or. You can't set:

  [color "branch"]
  local = blue
  current = bold

and expect the current branch to be "bold blue". This
matches the pre-949af0684 behavior.

a5b3663898 branch: only perform HEAD check for local branches
When assembling the ref-filter format to show "git branch"
output, we put the "%(if)%(HEAD)" conditional at the start
of the overall format. But there's no point in checking
whether a remote branch matches HEAD, as it never will.
The check should go inside the local conditional; we
assemble that format inside the "local" strbuf.

By itself, this is just a minor optimization. But in a
future patch, we'll need this refactoring to fix
local-branch coloring.

dc4b4a61ba submodule--helper: do not call utf8_fprintf() unnecessarily
The helper function utf8_fprintf(fp, ...) has exactly the same
effect to the output stream fp as fprintf(fp, ...) does, and the
only difference is that its return value counts in display columns
consumed (assuming that the payload is encoded in UTF-8), as opposed
to number of bytes.

There is no reason to call it unless the caller cares about its
return value.

f15e7cf5cc pull: ff --rebase --autostash works in dirty repo
When `git pull --rebase --autostash` in a dirty repository resulted in a
fast-forward, nothing was being autostashed and the pull failed. This
was due to a shortcut to avoid running rebase when we can fast-forward,
but autostash is ignored on that codepath.

Now we will only take the shortcut if autostash is not in effect.
Based on a few tests against the git.git repo, the shortcut does not
seem to give us significant performance benefits, on Linux at least.
Regardless, it is more important to be correct than to be fast.

66f5f6dca9 C style: use standard style for "TRANSLATORS" comments
Change all the "TRANSLATORS: [...]" comments in the C code to use the
regular Git coding style, and amend the style guide so that the
example there uses that style.

This custom style was necessary back in 2010 when the gettext support
was initially added, and was subsequently documented in commit
cbcfd4e3ea ("i18n: mention "TRANSLATORS:" marker in
Documentation/CodingGuidelines", 2014-04-18).

GNU xgettext hasn't had the parsing limitation that necessitated this
exception for almost 3 years. Since its 0.19 release on 2014-06-02
it's been able to recognize TRANSLATOR comments in the standard Git
comment syntax[1].

Usually we'd like to keep compatibility with software that's that
young, but in this case literally the only person who needs to be
using a gettext newer than 3 years old is Jiang Xin (the only person
who runs & commits "make pot" results), so I think in this case we can
make an exception.

This xgettext parsing feature was added after a thread on the Git
mailing list[2] which continued on the bug-gettext[3] list, but we
never subsequently changed our style & styleguide, do so.

There are already longstanding changes in git that use the standard
comment style & have their TRANSLATORS comments extracted properly
without getting the literal "*"'s mixed up in the text, as would
happen before xgettext 0.19.

Commit 7ff2683253 ("builtin-am: implement -i/--interactive",
2015-08-04) added one such comment, which in commit df0617bfa7 ("l10n:
git.pot: v2.6.0 round 1 (123 new, 41 removed)", 2015-09-05) got picked
up in the po/git.pot file with the right format, showing that Jiang
already runs a modern xgettext.

The xgettext parser does not handle the sort of non-standard comment
style that I'm amending here in sequencer.c, but that isn't standard
Git comment syntax anyway. With this change to sequencer.c & "make
pot" the comment in the pot file is now correct:

     #. TRANSLATORS: %s will be "revert", "cherry-pick" or
    -#. * "rebase -i".
    +#. "rebase -i".

f3a2fffe06 am: handle "-h" argument earlier
If the user provides "-h" on the command line, then our
parse_options() invocation will show a usage message and
quit. But if "-h" is the only argument, the git wrapper
behaves specially: it ignores our RUN_SETUP flag and calls
cmd_am() without having done repository setup at all.  This
is due to 99caeed05 (Let 'git <command> -h' show usage
without a git dir, 2009-11-09).

Before cmd_am() calls parse_options(), though, it runs a few
other setup functions. One of these is am_state_init(),
which uses git_pathdup() to set up the default rebase-apply
path. But calling git_pathdup() when we haven't done
repository setup will fall back to using ".git". That's
mostly harmless (since we won't use the value anyway), but
is forbidden since b1ef400eec ("setup_git_env: avoid blind
fall-back to ".git"", 2016-10-20), and we now BUG().

We can't easily move that setup to after the parse_options()
call; the point is to set up defaults that are overwritten
by the option parsing. Instead, we'll detect the "-h" case
early and show the usage then. This matches the behavior of
other builtins which have a similar setup-ordering issue
(e.g., git-branch).

30d005c020 diff: use blob path for blob/file diffs
When we diff a blob against a working tree file like:

  git diff HEAD:Makefile Makefile

we always use the working tree filename for both sides of
the diff. In most cases that's fine, as the two would be the
same anyway, as above. And until recently, we used the
"name" for the blob, not the path, which would have the
messy "HEAD:" on the beginning.

But when they don't match, like:

  git diff HEAD:old_path new_path

it makes sense to show both names.

This patch uses the blob's path field if it's available, and
otherwise falls back to using the filename (in preference to
the blob's name, which is likely to be garbage like a raw
sha1).

158b06caee diff: use pending "path" if it is available
There's a subtle distinction between "name" and "path" for a
blob that we resolve: the name is what the user told us on
the command line, and the path is what we traversed when
finding the blob within a tree (if we did so).

When we diff blobs directly, we use "name", but "path" is
more likely to be useful to the user (it will find the
correct .gitattributes, and give them a saner diff header).

We still have to fall back to using the name for some cases
(i.e., any blob reference that isn't of the form tree:path).
That's the best we can do in such a case.

42f5ba5bb6 diff: pass whole pending entry in blobinfo
When diffing blobs directly, git-diff picks the blobs out of
the rev_info's pending array and copies the relevant bits to
a custom "struct blobinfo". But the pending array entry
already has all of this information (and more, which we'll
use in future patches). Let's just pass the original entry
instead.

In practice, these two blobs are probably adjacent in the
revs->pending array, and we could just pass the whole array.
But the current code is careful to pick each blob out
separately and put it into another array, so we'll continue
to do so and make our own array-of-pointers.

dc944b65f1 get_sha1_with_context: dynamically allocate oc->path
When a sha1 lookup returns the tree path via "struct
object_context", it just copies it into a fixed-size buffer.
This means the result can be truncated, and it means our
"struct object_context" consumes a lot of stack space.

Instead, let's allocate a string on the heap. Because most
callers don't care about this information, we'll avoid doing
it by default (so they don't all have to start calling
free() on the result). There are basically two options for
the caller to signal to us that it's interested:

  1. By setting a pointer to storage in the object_context.

  2. By passing a flag in another parameter.

Doing (1) would match the way that sha1_object_info_extended()
works. But it would mean that every caller would have to
initialize the object_context, which they don't currently
have to do.

This patch does (2), and adds a new bit to the function's
flags field. All of the callers that look at the "path"
field are updated to pass the new flag.

6b1db43109 clean: teach clean -d to preserve ignored paths
There is an implicit assumption that a directory containing only
untracked and ignored paths should itself be considered untracked. This
makes sense in use cases where we're asking if a directory should be
added to the git database, but not when we're asking if a directory can
be safely removed from the working tree; as a result, clean -d would
assume that an "untracked" directory containing ignored paths could be
deleted, even though doing so would also remove the ignored paths.

To get around this, we teach clean -d to collect ignored paths and skip
an untracked directory if it contained an ignored path, instead just
removing the untracked contents thereof. To achieve this, cmd_clean()
has to collect all untracked contents of untracked directories, in
addition to all ignored paths, to determine which untracked dirs must be
skipped (because they contain ignored paths) and which ones should *not*
be skipped.

For this purpose, correct_untracked_entries() is introduced to prune a
given dir_struct of untracked entries containing ignored paths and those
untracked entries encompassed by the untracked entries which are not
pruned away.

A memory leak is also fixed in cmd_clean().

This also fixes the known breakage in t7300, since clean -d now skips
untracked directories containing ignored paths.

d76650b8d1 interpret-trailers: honor the cut line
If a commit message is edited with the "verbose" option, the buffer
will have a cut line and diff after the log message, like so:

    my subject

    # ------------------------ >8 ------------------------
    # Do not touch the line above.
    # Everything below will be removed.
    diff --git a/foo.txt b/foo.txt
    index 5716ca5..7601807 100644
    --- a/foo.txt
    +++ b/foo.txt
    @@ -1 +1 @@
    -bar
    +baz

"git interpret-trailers" is unaware of the cut line, and assumes the
trailer block would be at the end of the whole thing.  This can easily
be seen with:

     $ GIT_EDITOR='git interpret-trailers --in-place --trailer Acked-by:me' \
       git commit --amend -v

Teach "git interpret-trailers" to notice the cut-line and ignore the
remainder of the input when looking for a place to add new trailer
block.  This makes it consistent with how "git commit -v -s" inserts a
new Signed-off-by: line.

This can be done by the same logic as the existing helper function,
wt_status_truncate_message_at_cut_line(), uses, but it wants the caller
to pass a strbuf to it.  Because the function ignore_non_trailer() used
by the command takes a <pointer, length> pair, not a strbuf, steal the
logic from wt_status_truncate_message_at_cut_line() to create a new
wt_status_locate_end() helper function that takes <pointer, length>
pair, and make ignore_non_trailer() call it to help "interpret-trailers".

Since there is only one caller of wt_status_truncate_message_at_cut_line()
in cmd_commit(), rewrite it to call wt_status_locate_end() helper instead
and remove the old helper that no longer has any caller.

c74271aae7 builtin/log: honor log.decorate
The recent change that introduced autodecorating of refs accidentally
broke the ability of users to set log.decorate = false to override it.
When the git_log_config was traversed a second time with an option other
than log.decorate, the decoration style would be set to the automatic
style, even if the user had already overridden it.  Instead of setting
the option in config parsing, set it in init_log_defaults instead.

Add a test for this case.  The actual additional config option doesn't
matter, but it needs to be something not already set in the
configuration file.

25cd291963 config: complain about --local outside of a git repo
The "--local" option instructs git-config to read or modify
the repository-level config. This doesn't make any sense if
you're not actually in a repository.

Older versions of Git would blindly try to read or write
".git/config". For reading, this would result in a quiet
failure, since there was no config to read (and thus no
matching config value). Writing would generally fail
noisily, since ".git" was unlikely to exist. But since
b1ef400ee (setup_git_env: avoid blind fall-back to ".git",
2016-10-20), we catch this in the call to git_pathdup() and
die with an assertion.

Dying is the right thing to do, but we should catch the
problem early and give a more human-friendly error message.

Note that even without --local, git-config will sometimes
default to using local repository config (e.g., when
writing). These cases are already protected by similar
checks, and covered by a test in t1308.

9932242f59 read-tree -m: make error message for merging 0 trees less smart aleck
"git read-tree -m" requires a tree argument to name the tree to be
merged in.  Git uses a cutesy error message to say so and why:

    $ git read-tree -m
    warning: read-tree: emptying the index with no arguments is
    deprecated; use --empty
    fatal: just how do you expect me to merge 0 trees?
    $ git read-tree -m --empty
    fatal: just how do you expect me to merge 0 trees?

When lucky, that could produce an ah-hah moment for the user, but it's
more likely to irritate and distract them.

Instead, tell the user plainly that the tree argument is
required. Also document this requirement in the git-read-tree(1)
manpage where there is room to explain it in a more straightforward way.

6c48686263 usability: don't ask questions if no reply is required
There has been a bug report by a corporate user that stated that
"spelling mistake of stash followed by a yes prints character 'y'
infinite times."

This analysis was false. When the spelling of a command contains
errors, the git program tries to help the user by providing candidates
which are close to the unexisting command. E.g Git prints the
following:

        git: 'stahs' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.
        Did you mean this?

        stash

and then exits.

The problem with this hint is that it is not formally indicated as an
hint and the user is in fact encouraged to reply to the question,
whereas the Git command is already finished.

The user was unlucky enough that it was the command he was looking
for, and replied "yes" on the command line, effectively launching the
`yes` program.

The initial error is that the Git programs, when launched in
command-line mode (without interaction) must not ask questions,
because these questions would normally require a user input as a reply
that they won't handle indeed. That's a source of confusion on UX
level.

To improve the general usability of the Git suite, the following rule
was applied:

if the sentence
 * appears in a non-interactive session
 * is printed last before exit
 * is a question addressing the user ("you")

the sentence is turned into affirmative and proposes the option.

The basic rewording of the question sentences has been extended to
other spots found in the source.

b9b10d3681 read-tree: "read-tree -m --empty" does not make sense
fb1bb965 ("read-tree: deprecate syntax without tree-ish args",
2010-09-10) wanted to deprecate "git read-tree" without any tree,
which used to be the way to empty the index, and encourage use of
"git read-tree --empty" instead.

However, when used with "-m", "--empty" does not make any sense,
either, simply because merging 0 trees will result in a different
error anyway.

Omit the deprecation warning and let the code to emit real error
message diagnose the error.

cbaf82cc6b receive-pack: verify push options in cert
In commit f6a4e61 ("push: accept push options", 2016-07-14), send-pack
was taught to include push options both within the signed cert (if the
push is a signed push) and outside the signed cert; however,
receive-pack ignores push options within the cert, only handling push
options outside the cert.

Teach receive-pack, in the case that push options are provided for a
signed push, to verify that the push options both within the cert and
outside the cert are consistent.

This sets in stone the requirement that send-pack redundantly send its
push options in 2 places, but I think that this is better than the
alternatives. Sending push options only within the cert is
backwards-incompatible with existing Git servers (which read push
options only from outside the cert), and sending push options only
outside the cert means that the push options are not signed for.

9df4a6074a pack-objects: disable pack reuse for object-selection options
If certain options like --honor-pack-keep, --local, or
--incremental are used with pack-objects, then we need to
feed each potential object to want_object_in_pack() to see
if it should be filtered out. But when the bitmap
reuse_packfile optimization is in effect, we do not call
that function at all, and in fact skip adding the objects to
the to_pack list entirely.  This means we have a bug: for
certain requests we will silently ignore those options and
include objects in that pack that should not be there.

The problem has been present since the inception of the
pack-reuse code in 6b8fda2db (pack-objects: use bitmaps when
packing objects, 2013-12-21), but it was unlikely to come up
in practice.  These options are generally used for on-disk
packing, not transfer packs (which go to stdout), but we've
never allowed pack reuse for non-stdout packs (until
645c432d6, we did not even use bitmaps, which the reuse
optimization relies on; after that, we explicitly turned it
off when not packing to stdout).

We can fix this by just disabling the reuse_packfile
optimization when the options are in use. In theory we could
teach the pack-reuse code to satisfy these checks, but it's
not worth the complexity. The purpose of the optimization is
to keep the amount of per-object work we do to a minimum.
But these options inherently require us to search for other
copies of each object, drowning out any benefit of the
pack-reuse optimization. But note that the optimizations
from 56dfeb626 (pack-objects: compute local/ignore_pack_keep
early, 2016-07-29) happen before pack-reuse, meaning that
specifying "--honor-pack-keep" in a repository with no .keep
files can still follow the fast path.

There are tests in t5310 that check these options with
bitmaps and --stdout, but they didn't catch the bug, and
it's hard to adapt them to do so.

One problem is that they don't use --delta-base-offset;
without that option, we always disable the reuse
optimization entirely. It would be fine to add it in (it
actually makes the test more realistic), but that still
isn't quite enough.

The other problem is that the reuse code is very picky; it
only kicks in when it can reuse most of a pack, starting
from the first byte. So we'd have to start from a fully
repacked and bitmapped state to trigger it. But the tests
for these options use a much more subtle state; they want to
be sure that the want_object_in_pack() code is allowing some
objects but not others. Doing a full repack runs counter to
that.

So this patch adds new tests at the end of the script which
create the fully-packed state and make sure that each option
is not fooled by reusable pack.
