00eebe351c refs: create a base class "ref_store" for files_ref_store
We want ref_stores to be polymorphic, so invent a base class of which
files_ref_store is a derived class. For now there is exactly one
ref_store for the main repository and one for any submodules whose
references have been accessed.

3dce444f17 refs: add a backend method structure
Add a `struct ref_storage_be` to represent types of reference stores. In
OO notation, this is the class, and will soon hold some class
methods (e.g., a factory to create new ref_store instances) and will
also serve as the vtable for ref_store instances of that type.

As yet, the backends cannot do anything.

65a0a8e5fa refs: rename struct ref_cache to files_ref_store
The greater goal of this patch series is to develop the concept of a
reference store, which is a place that references, their values, and
their reflogs are stored, and to virtualize the reference interface so
that different types of ref_stores can be implemented. We will then, for
example, use ref_store instances to access submodule references and
worktree references.

Currently, we keep a ref_cache for each submodule that has had its
references iterated over. It is a far cry from a ref_store, but they are
stored the way we will want to store ref_stores, and ref_stores will
eventually have to hold the reference caches. So let's treat ref_caches
as embryo ref_stores, and build them out from there.

As the first step, simply rename `ref_cache` to `files_ref_store`, and
rename some functions and attributes correspondingly.

5a29cbc6e9 patch-ids: turn off rename detection
The patch-id code may be running inside another porcelain
like "git log" or "git format-patch", and therefore may have
set diff_detect_rename_default, either via the diff-ui
config, or by default since 5404c11 (diff: activate
diff.renames by default, 2016-02-25). This is the case even
if a command is run with `--no-renames`, as that is applied
only to the diff-options used by the command itself.

Rename detection doesn't help the patch-id results. It
_may_ actually hurt, as minor differences in the files that
would be overlooked by patch-id's canonicalization might
result in different renames (though I'd doubt that it ever
comes up in practice).

But mostly it is just a waste of CPU to compute these
renames.

Note that this does have one user-visible impact: the
prerequisite patches listed by "format-patch --base". There
may be some confusion between different versions of git as
older ones will enable renames, but newer ones will not.
However, this was already a problem, as people with
different settings for the "diff.renames" config would get
different results. After this patch, everyone should get the
same results, regardless of their config.

eb398797cd connect: advertized capability is not a ref
When cloning an empty repository served by standard git, "git clone" produces
the following reassuring message:

	$ git clone git://localhost/tmp/empty
	Cloning into 'empty'...
	warning: You appear to have cloned an empty repository.
	Checking connectivity... done.

Meanwhile when cloning an empty repository served by JGit, the output is more
haphazard:

	$ git clone git://localhost/tmp/empty
	Cloning into 'empty'...
	Checking connectivity... done.
	warning: remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout.

This is a common command to run immediately after creating a remote repository
as preparation for adding content to populate it and pushing. The warning is
confusing and needlessly worrying.

The cause is that, since v3.1.0.201309270735-rc1~22 (Advertise capabilities
with no refs in upload service., 2013-08-08), JGit's ref advertisement includes
a ref named capabilities^{} to advertise its capabilities on, while git's ref
advertisement is empty in this case. This allows the client to learn about the
server's capabilities and is needed, for example, for fetch-by-sha1 to work
when no refs are advertised.

This also affects "ls-remote". For example, against an empty repository served
by JGit:

	$ git ls-remote git://localhost/tmp/empty
	0000000000000000000000000000000000000000        capabilities^{}

Git advertises the same capabilities^{} ref in its ref advertisement for push
but since it never did so for fetch, the client didn't need to handle this
case.  Handle it.

55e4f9365a connect: tighten check for unexpected early hang up
A server hanging up immediately to mark access being denied does not
send any .have refs, shallow lines, or anything else before hanging
up.  If the server has sent anything, then the hangup is unexpected.

That is, if the server hangs up after a shallow line but before sending
any refs, then git should tell me so:

	fatal: The remote end hung up upon initial contact

instead of suggesting an access control problem:

	fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
	Please make sure you have the correct access rights
	and the repository exists.

Noticed while examining this code.  This case isn't likely to come up
in practice but tightening the check makes the code easier to read and
manipulate.

c0e8b3b444 Merge branch 'bw/mingw-avoid-inheriting-fd-to-lockfile' into maint
The tempfile (hence its user lockfile) API lets the caller to open
a file descriptor to a temporary file, write into it and then
finalize it by first closing the filehandle and then either
removing or renaming the temporary file.  When the process spawns a
subprocess after obtaining the file descriptor, and if the
subprocess has not exited when the attempt to remove or rename is
made, the last step fails on Windows, because the subprocess has
the file descriptor still open.  Open tempfile with O_CLOEXEC flag
to avoid this (on Windows, this is mapped to O_NOINHERIT).

* bw/mingw-avoid-inheriting-fd-to-lockfile:
  mingw: ensure temporary file handles are not inherited by child processes

The "git -c var[=val] cmd" facility to append a configuration
variable definition at the end of the search order was described in
git(1) manual page, but not in git-config(1), which was more likely
place for people to look for when they ask "can I make a one-shot
override, and if so how?"

bde42f081e Merge branch 'jk/difftool-command-not-found' into maint
"git difftool" by default ignores the error exit from the backend
commands it spawns, because often they signal that they found
differences by exiting with a non-zero status code just like "diff"
does; the exit status codes 126 and above however are special in
that they are used to signal that the command is not executable,
does not exist, or killed by a signal.  "git difftool" has been
taught to notice these exit status codes.

* jk/difftool-command-not-found:
  difftool: always honor fatal error exit codes
