When the child process's environment is set up in start_command(), error
messages were written to wherever the parent redirected the child's stderr
channel. However, even if the parent redirected the child's stderr, errors
during this setup process, including the exec itself, are usually an
indication of a problem in the parent's environment. Therefore, the error
messages should go to the parent's stderr.
Redirection of the child's error messages is usually only used to redirect
hook error messages during client-server exchanges. In these cases, hook
setup errors could be regarded as information leak.
This patch makes a copy of stderr if necessary and uses a special
die routine that is used for all die() calls in the child that sends the
errors messages to the parent's stderr.
The trace call that reported a failed execvp is removed (because it writes
to stderr) and replaced by die_errno() with special treatment of ENOENT.
The improvement in the error message can be seen with this sequence:
mkdir .git/hooks/pre-commit
git commit
Previously, the error message was
error: cannot run .git/hooks/pre-commit: No such file or directory
and now it is
fatal: cannot exec '.git/hooks/pre-commit': Permission denied

The environment variable EMAIL has been honored since 28a94f8 (Fall back
to $EMAIL for missing GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL and GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL,

bb1ae3f (commit: Show committer if automatic, 2008-05-04) added a logic to
check both name and email were given explicitly by the end user, but it
assumed that fmt_ident() is never called before git_default_user_config()
is called, which was fragile. The former calls setup_ident() and fills
the "default" name and email, so the check in the config parser would have
mistakenly said both are given even if only user.name was provided.
Make the logic more robust by keeping track of name and email separately.

The documentation was quite inconsistent when spelling 'git cmd' if it
only refers to the program, not to some specific invocation syntax:
both 'git-cmd' and 'git cmd' spellings exist.
The current trend goes towards dashless forms, and there is precedent
in 647ac70 (git-svn.txt: stop using dash-form of commands.,
2009-07-07) to actively eliminate the dashed variants.
Replace 'git-cmd' with 'git cmd' throughout, except where git-shell,
git-cvsserver, git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack, and
git-upload-archive are concerned, because those really live in the
$PATH.
Use `code snippet` style instead of 'emphasis' for `git cmd ...`
according to the following rules:
* The SYNOPSIS sections are left untouched.
* If the intent is that the user type the command exactly as given, it
is `code`.
If the user is only loosely referred to a command and/or option, it
remains 'emphasised'.

kill_some_child() compares the entire sockaddr_storage
structure (with the pad-bits zeroed out) when trying to
find out if connections originate from the same host.
However, sockaddr_storage contains the port-number for
the connection (which varies between connections), so
the comparison always fails.
Change the code so we only consider the host-address,
by introducing the addrcmp()-function that inspects
the address family and compare as appropriate.

If the status of a ref is REF_STATUS_NONE, the remote helper will not
be told to push the ref (via a 'push' command).
However, the remote helper may still act on these refs.
If the helper does act on the ref, and prints a status for it, ignore
the report (ie. don't overwrite the status of the ref with it, nor the
message in the remote_status member) if the reported status is 'no
match'.
This allows the user to be alerted to more "interesting" ref statuses,
like REF_STATUS_NONFASTFORWARD.

Mark the test on the return status of non-fast-forward push to fail.
Git now exits with success, as transport.c::transport_push() does not
check for refs with status REF_STATUS_REJECT_NONFASTFORWARD nor does it

Given pathspecs that share a common prefix, ls-files optimized its call
into recursive directory reader by starting at the common prefix
directory.
If you have a directory "t" with an untracked file "t/junk" in it, but the
top-level .gitignore file told us to ignore "t/", this resulted in:
$ git ls-files -o --exclude-standard
$ git ls-files -o --exclude-standard t/
t/junk
$ git ls-files -o --exclude-standard t/junk
t/junk
$ cd t && git ls-files -o --exclude-standard
junk
We could argue that you are overriding the ignore file by giving a
patchspec that matches or being in that directory, but it is somewhat
unexpected. Worse yet, these behave differently:
$ git ls-files -o --exclude-standard t/ .
$ git ls-files -o --exclude-standard t/
t/junk
This patch changes the optimization so that it notices when the common
prefix directory that it starts reading from is an ignored one.

When you have "t" directory that is marked as ignored in the top-level

from the top-level correctly excludes files in "t" directory, but
any of the following:
$ git ls-files -o --exclude-standard t/
$ cd t && git ls-files -o --exclude-standard
would show untracked files in that directory.
