git config --global user.name "Your Name"

When git am does an automatic gc it doesn't clean up the rebase-apply
directory until after this has finished. This means that if the user
aborts the gc then future am or rebase operations will report that an
existing operation is in progress, which is undesirable and confusing.

However, the only bug was that the testcases wrote *blobs* because I

Ever since the "See linkgit:git-config[1]..." paragraph was added to the
description for --untracked-files (d6293d1), the paragraphs for the
following options were indented at the same level as the "See
linkgit:git-config[1]" paragraph. This problem showed up in the
manpages, but not in the HTML documentation.
While this does fix the alignment of the options following

If we remove a path in a/deep/subdirectory, we should try to
remove as many trailing components as possible (i.e.,
subdirectory, then deep, then a). However, the test for the
return value of rmdir was reversed, so we only ever deleted
at most one level.
The fix is in remove_path, so "apply" and "merge-recursive"
also are fixed.

It is misleading to say that we pull refs from $GIT_DIR/refs/*, because we
may also consult the packed refs mechanism. These days we tend to treat
the "refs hierarchy" as more of an abstract namespace that happens to be
represented as $GIT_DIR/refs. At best, this is a minor inaccuracy, but at
worst it can confuse users who then look in $GIT_DIR/refs and find that it
is missing some of the refs they expected to see.
This patch drops most uses of "$GIT_DIR/refs/*", changing them into just
"refs/*", under the assumption that users can handle the concept of an
abstract refs namespace. There are a few things to note:
- most cases just dropped the $GIT_DIR/ portion. But for cases where
that left _just_ the word "refs", I changed it to "refs/" to help
indicate that it was a hierarchy. I didn't do the same for longer
paths (e.g., "refs/heads" remained, instead of becoming
"refs/heads/").
- in some cases, no change was made, as the text was explicitly about
unpacked refs (e.g., the discussion in git-pack-refs).
- In some cases it made sense instead to note the existence of packed
refs (e.g., in check-ref-format and rev-parse).

dwim_ref: fix dangling symref warning
stash pop: remove 'apply' options during 'drop' invocation
diff: make sure --output=/bad/path is caught
Remove hyphen from "git-command" in two error messages
If we encounter a symref that is dangling, in most cases we will warn
about it. The one exception is a dangling HEAD, as that indicates a
branch yet to be born.
However, the check in dwim_ref was not quite right. If we were fed
something like "HEAD^0" we would try to resolve "HEAD", see that it is
dangling, and then check whether the _original_ string we got was
"HEAD" (which it wasn't in this case). And that makes no sense; the
dangling thing we found was not "HEAD^0" but rather "HEAD".
Fixing this squelches a scary warning from "submodule summary HEAD" (and
consequently "git status" with status.submodulesummary set) in an empty
repo, as the submodule script calls "git rev-parse -q --verify HEAD^0".

The 'git stash pop' option parsing used to remove the first argument
in --index mode. At the time this was implemented, this first
argument was always --index. However, since the invention of the -q
option in fcdd0e9 (stash: teach quiet option, 2009-06-17) you can
cause an internal invocation of
git stash drop --index
by running
git stash pop -q --index
which then of course fails because drop doesn't know --index.
To handle this, instead let 'git stash apply' decide what the future
argument to 'drop' should be.
Warning: this means that 'git stash apply' must parse all options that
'drop' can take, and deal with them in the same way. This is
currently true for its only option -q.

This gets rid of the fixed-size buffer and an unchecked
sprintf. That sprintf is actually OK as the only
variable-sized thing put in it is an abbreviated sha1, which
is bounded at 40 characters. However, the next patch will
change that to something unbounded.
Note that this function now returns an allocated buffer
instead of a static one; however, it doesn't matter as the
only caller exits immediately.
