c2d17ba3db branch --edit-description: protect against mistyped branch name
It is very easy to mistype the branch name when editing its description,
e.g.

	$ git checkout -b my-topic master
	: work work work
	: now we are at a good point to switch working something else
	$ git checkout master
	: ah, let's write it down before we forget what we were doing
	$ git branch --edit-description my-tpoic

The command does not notice that branch 'my-tpoic' does not exist.  It is
not lost (it becomes description of an unborn my-tpoic branch), but is not
very useful.  So detect such a case and error out to reduce the grief
factor from this common mistake.

This incidentally also errors out --edit-description when the HEAD points
at an unborn branch (immediately after "init", or "checkout --orphan"),
because at that point, you do not even have any commit that is part of
your history and there is no point in describing how this particular
branch is different from the branch it forked off of, which is the useful
bit of information the branch description is designed to capture.

We may want to special case the unborn case later, but that is outside the
scope of this patch to prevent more common mistakes before 1.7.9 series
gains too much widespread use.

b5c9f1c1b0 merge: do not create a signed tag merge under --ff-only option
Starting at release v1.7.9, if you ask to merge a signed tag, "git merge"
always creates a merge commit, even when the tag points at a commit that
happens to be a descendant of your current commit.

Unfortunately, this interacts rather badly for people who use --ff-only to
make sure that their branch is free of local developments. It used to be
possible to say:

	$ git checkout -b frotz v1.7.9~30
        $ git merge --ff-only v1.7.9

and expect that the resulting tip of frotz branch matches v1.7.9^0 (aka
the commit tagged as v1.7.9), but this fails with the updated Git with:

	fatal: Not possible to fast-forward, aborting.

because a merge that merges v1.7.9 tag to v1.7.9~30 cannot be created by
fast forwarding.

We could teach users that now they have to do

	$ git merge --ff-only v1.7.9^0

but it is far more pleasant for users if we DWIMmed this ourselves.

When an integrator pulls in a topic from a lieutenant via a signed tag,
even when the work done by the lieutenant happens to fast-forward, the
integrator wants to have a merge record, so the integrator will not be
asking for --ff-only when running "git pull" in such a case. Therefore,
this change should not regress the support for the use case v1.7.9 wanted
to add.

2c733fb24c parse_date(): '@' prefix forces git-timestamp
The only place that the issue this series addresses was observed
where we read "cat-file commit" output and put it in GIT_AUTHOR_DATE
in order to replay a commit with an ancient timestamp.

With the previous patch alone, "git commit --date='20100917 +0900'"
can be misinterpreted to mean an ancient timestamp, not September in
year 2010.  Guard this codepath by requring an extra '@' in front of
the raw git timestamp on the parsing side. This of course needs to
be compensated by updating get_author_ident_from_commit and the code
for "git commit --amend" to prepend '@' to the string read from the
existing commit in the GIT_AUTHOR_DATE environment variable.

3d9f5b674f t0300: use write_script helper
t0300 creates some helper shell scripts, and marks them with
"!/bin/sh". Even though the scripts are fairly simple, they
can fail on broken shells (specifically, Solaris /bin/sh
will persist a temporary assignment to IFS in a "read"
command).

Rather than work around the problem for Solaris /bin/sh,
using write_script will make sure we point to a known-good
shell that the user has given us.

840c519d7e tests: add write_script helper function
Many of the scripts in the test suite write small helper
shell scripts to disk. It's best if these shell scripts
start with "#!$SHELL_PATH" rather than "#!/bin/sh", because
/bin/sh on some platforms is too buggy to be used.

However, it can be cumbersome to expand $SHELL_PATH, because
the usual recipe for writing a script is:

	cat >foo.sh <<-\EOF
	#!/bin/sh
	echo my arguments are "$@"
	EOF

To expand $SHELL_PATH, you have to either interpolate the
here-doc (which would require quoting "\$@"), or split the
creation into two commands (interpolating the $SHELL_PATH
line, but not the rest of the script). Let's provide a
helper function that makes that less syntactically painful.

While we're at it, this helper can also take care of the
"chmod +x" that typically comes after the creation of such a
script, saving the caller a line.

2ad9ba0382 request-pull: explicitly ask tags/$name to be pulled
When asking for a tag to be pulled, disambiguate by leaving tags/ prefix
in front of the name of the tag. E.g.

    ... in the git repository at:

      git://example.com/git/git.git/ tags/v1.2.3

    for you to fetch changes up to 123456...

This way, older versions of "git pull" can be used to respond to such a
request more easily, as "git pull $URL v1.2.3" did not DWIM to fetch
v1.2.3 tag in older versions. Also this makes it clearer for humans that
the pull request is made for a tag and he should anticipate a signed one.

d475536658 Merge branch 'svn-fe' of git://repo.or.cz/git/jrn into jn/svn-fe
This simplifies svn-fe a great deal and fulfills a longstanding wish:
support for dumps with deltas in them, and incremental imports.

The cost is that commandline usage of the svn-fe tool becomes a little
more complicated since it no longer keeps state itself but instead reads
blobs back from fast-import in order to copy them between revisions and
apply deltas to them.

Also removes a couple of custom data structures and replaces them with
strbufs like other parts of Git.

e7d7a56796 t9801: do not overuse test_must_fail
test_must_fail is to make sure a program we can potentially break during
the course of updating git itself exits with a non-zero status in a clean
and controlled way.

When we expect a non-zero exit status from the commands we use from the
underlying platform in tests, e.g. making sure a string "error: " does not
appear in the output by running "grep 'error: '", just use "! grep" for
readability. It is not like we will try to update Git and suddenly 'grep'
we use from the system starts segfaulting.

1017c1abcb submodule add: fix breakage when re-adding a deep submodule
Since recently a submodule with name <name> has its git directory in the
.git/modules/<name> directory of the superproject while the work tree
contains a gitfile pointing there.

When the same submodule is added on a branch where it wasn't present so
far (it is not found in the .gitmodules file), the name is not initialized
from the path as it should. This leads to a wrong path entered in the
gitfile when the .git/modules/<name> directory is found, as this happily
uses the - now empty - name. It then always points only a single directory
up, even if we have a path deeper in the directory hierarchy.

Fix that by initializing the name of the submodule early in module_clone()
if module_name() returned an empty name and add a test to catch that bug.

f8246281af merge: use editor by default in interactive sessions
Traditionally, a cleanly resolved merge was committed by "git merge" using
the auto-generated merge commit log message without invoking the editor.

After 5 years of use in the field, it turns out that people perform too
many unjustified merges of the upstream history into their topic branches.
These merges are not just useless, but they are often not explained well,
and making the end result unreadable when it gets time for merging their
history back to their upstream.

Earlier we added the "--edit" option to the command, so that people can
edit the log message to explain and justify their merge commits. Let's
take it one step further and spawn the editor by default when we are in an
interactive session (i.e. the standard input and the standard output are
pointing at the same tty device).

There may be existing scripts that leave the standard input and the
standard output of the "git merge" connected to whatever environment the
scripts were started, and such invocation might trigger the above
"interactive session" heuristics.  GIT_MERGE_AUTOEDIT environment variable
can be set to "no" at the beginning of such scripts to use the historical
behaviour while the script runs.

Note that this backward compatibility is meant only for scripts, and we
deliberately do *not* support "merge.edit = yes/no/auto" configuration
option to allow people to keep the historical behaviour.

50dd0f2fd9 grep: fix -l/-L interaction with decoration lines
In threaded mode, git-grep emits file breaks (enabled with context, -W
and --break) into the accumulation buffers even if they are not
required.  The output collection thread then uses skip_first_line to
skip the first such line in the output, which would otherwise be at
the very top.

This is wrong when the user also specified -l/-L/-c, in which case
every line is relevant.  While arguably giving these options together
doesn't make any sense, git-grep has always quietly accepted it.  So
do not skip anything in these cases.

aae5239be2 t/Makefile: Use $(sort ...) explicitly where needed
Starting from GNU Make 3.82 $(wildcard ...) no longer sorts the result
(from NEWS):

    * WARNING: Backward-incompatibility!
      Wildcards were not documented as returning sorted values, but the results
      have been sorted up until this release..  If your makefiles require sorted
      results from wildcard expansions, use the $(sort ...)  function to request
      it explicitly.

    2a59dc32aa

I usually watch test progress visually, and if tests are sorted, even
with make -j4 they go more or less incrementally by their t number. On
the other side, without sorting, tests are executed in seemingly random
order even for -j1. Let's please maintain sane tests order for perceived
prettyness.

Another note is that in GNU Make sort also works as uniq, so after sort
being removed, we might expect e.g. $(wildcard *.sh a.*) to produce
duplicates for e.g. "a.sh". From this point of view, adding sort could
be seen as hardening t/Makefile from accidentally introduced dups.

It turned out that prevous releases of GNU Make did not perform full
sort in $(wildcard), only sorting results for each pattern, that's why
explicit sort-as-uniq is relevant even for older makes.

5238cbf656 remote-curl: Fix push status report when all branches fail
The protocol between transport-helper.c and remote-curl requires
remote-curl to always print a blank line after the push command
has run. If the blank line is ommitted, transport-helper kills its
container process (the git push the user started) with exit(128)
and no message indicating a problem, assuming the helper already
printed reasonable error text to the console.

However if the remote rejects all branches with "ng" commands in the
report-status reply, send-pack terminates with non-zero status, and
in turn remote-curl exited with non-zero status before outputting
the blank line after the helper status printed by send-pack. No
error messages reach the user.

This caused users to see the following from git push over HTTP
when the remote side's update hook rejected the branch:

  $ git push http://... master
  Counting objects: 4, done.
  Delta compression using up to 6 threads.
  Compressing objects: 100% (2/2), done.
  Writing objects: 100% (3/3), 301 bytes, done.
  Total 3 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
  $

Always print a blank line after the send-pack process terminates,
ensuring the helper status report (if it was output) will be
correctly parsed by the calling transport-helper.c. This ensures
the helper doesn't abort before the status report can be shown to
the user.

In a topic branch workflow, you often want to find the latest commit that
merged a side branch that touched a particular area of the system, so that
a new topic branch to work on that area can be forked from that commit.
For example, I wanted to find an appropriate fork-point to queue Luke's
changes related to git-p4 in contrib/fast-import/.

"git log --first-parent" traverses the first-parent chain, and "-m --stat"
shows the list of paths touched by commits including merge commits.  We
could ask the question this way:

    # What is the latest commit that touched that path?
    $ git log --first-parent --oneline -m --stat master |
      sed -e '/^ contrib\/fast-import\/git-p4 /q' | tail

The above finds that 8cbfc11 (Merge branch 'pw/p4-view-updates',
2012-01-06) was such a commit.

But a more natural way to spell this question is this:

    $ git log --first-parent --oneline -m --stat -1 master -- \
      contrib/fast-import/git-p4

Unfortunately, this does not work. It finds ecb7cf9 (git-p4: rewrite view
handling, 2012-01-02). This commit is a part of the merged topic branch
and is _not_ on the first-parent path from the 'master':

    $ git show-branch 8cbfc11 ecb7cf9
    ! [8cbfc11] Merge branch 'pw/p4-view-updates'
     ! [ecb7cf9] git-p4: rewrite view handling
    --
    -  [8cbfc11] Merge branch 'pw/p4-view-updates'
    +  [8cbfc11^2] git-p4: view spec documentation
    ++ [ecb7cf9] git-p4: rewrite view handling

The problem is caused by the merge simplification logic when it inspects
the merge commit 8cbfc11. In this case, the history leading to the tip of
'master' did not touch git-p4 since 'pw/p4-view-updates' topic forked, and
the result of the merge is simply a copy from the tip of the topic branch
in the view limited by the given pathspec.  The merge simplification logic
discards the history on the mainline side of the merge, and pretends as if
the sole parent of the merge is its second parent, i.e. the tip of the
topic. While this simplification is correct in the general case, it is at
least surprising if not outright wrong when the user explicitly asked to
show the first-parent history.

Here is an attempt to fix this issue, by not allowing us to compare the
merge result with anything but the first parent when --first-parent is in
effect, to avoid the history traversal veering off to the side branch.

c4d2539af7 test-lib: add the test_pause convenience function
Since 781f76b15 (test-lib: redirect stdin of tests) you can't simply put a
"bash &&" into a test for debugging purposes anymore. Instead you'll have
to use "bash <&6 >&3 2>&4".

As that invocation is not that easy to remember add the test_pause
convenience function. It invokes "$SHELL_PATH" to provide a sane shell
for the user.

This function also checks if the -v flag is given and will error out if
that is not the case instead of letting the test hang until ^D is pressed.

5a7d5b683f clone: allow --branch to take a tag
Because a tag ref cannot be put to HEAD, HEAD will become detached.
This is consistent with "git checkout <tag>".

This is mostly useful in shallow clone, where it allows you to clone a
tag in addtion to branches.

920b691fe4 clone: refuse to clone if --branch points to bogus ref
It's possible that users make a typo in the branch name. Stop and let
users recheck. Falling back to remote's HEAD is not documented any
way.

Except when using remote helper, the pack has not been transferred at
this stage yet so we don't waste much bandwidth.

7f08c6858e clone: write detached HEAD in bare repositories
If we don't write, HEAD is still at refs/heads/master as initialized
by init-db, which may or may not match remote's HEAD.
