18e95f279e ident.c: remove unused variables
d5cc2de (ident.c: Trim hint printed when gecos is empty., 2006-11-28)
reworded the message used as printf() format and dropped "%s" from it;
these two variables that hold the names of GIT_{AUTHOR,COMMITTER}_NAME
environment variables haven't been used since then.

47b7012024 git-rm doc: Describe how to sync index & work tree
Newcomers to git that want to remove from the index only the
files that have disappeared from the working tree will probably
look for a way to do that in the documentation for 'git rm'.

Therefore, describe how that can be done (even though it involves
other commands than 'git rm'). Based on a suggestion by Junio,
but re-arranged and rewritten to better fit into the style of
command reference.

While at it, change a single occurrence of "work tree" to "working
tree" for consistency.

730f72840c unpack-trees.c: look ahead in the index
This makes the traversal of index be in sync with the tree traversal.
When unpack_callback() is fed a set of tree entries from trees, it
inspects the name of the entry and checks if the an index entry with
the same name could be hiding behind the current index entry, and

 (1) if the name appears in the index as a leaf node, it is also
     fed to the n_way_merge() callback function;

 (2) if the name is a directory in the index, i.e. there are entries in
     that are underneath it, then nothing is fed to the n_way_merge()
     callback function;

 (3) otherwise, if the name comes before the first eligible entry in the
     index, the index entry is first unpacked alone.

When traverse_trees_recursive() descends into a subdirectory, the
cache_bottom pointer is moved to walk index entries within that directory.

All of these are omitted for diff-index, which does not even want to be
fed an index entry and a tree entry with D/F conflicts.

This fixes 3-way read-tree and exposes a bug in other parts of the system
in t6035, test #5.  The test prepares these three trees:

 O = HEAD^
    100644 blob e69de29bb2    a/b-2/c/d
    100644 blob e69de29bb2    a/b/c/d
    100644 blob e69de29bb2    a/x

 A = HEAD
    100644 blob e69de29bb2    a/b-2/c/d
    100644 blob e69de29bb2    a/b/c/d
    100644 blob 587be6b4c3f93f93c489c0111bba5596147a26cb    a/x

 B = master
    120000 blob a36b77384451ea1de7bd340ffca868249626bc52    a/b
    100644 blob e69de29bb2    a/b-2/c/d
    100644 blob e69de29bb2    a/x

With a clean index that matches HEAD, running

    git read-tree -m -u --aggressive $O $A $B

now yields

    120000 a36b77384451ea1de7bd340ffca868249626bc52 3       a/b
    100644 e69de29bb2 0       a/b-2/c/d
    100644 e69de29bb2 1       a/b/c/d
    100644 e69de29bb2 2       a/b/c/d
    100644 587be6b4c3f93f93c489c0111bba5596147a26cb 0       a/x

which is correct.  "master" created "a/b" symlink that did not exist,
and removed "a/b/c/d" while HEAD did not do touch either path.

Before this series, read-tree did not notice the situation and resolved
addition of "a/b" and removal of "a/b/c/d" independently.  If A = HEAD had
another path "a/b/c/e" added, this merge should conflict but instead it
silently resolved "a/b" and then immediately overwrote it to add
"a/b/c/e", which was quite bogus.

Tests in t1012 start to work with this.

da165f470e unpack-trees.c: prepare for looking ahead in the index
This prepares but does not yet implement a look-ahead in the index entries
when traverse-trees.c decides to give us tree entries in an order that
does not match what is in the index.

A case where a look-ahead in the index is necessary happens when merging
branch B into branch A while the index matches the current branch A, using
a tree O as their common ancestor, and these three trees looks like this:

   O        A       B
   t                t
   t-i      t-i     t-i
   t-j      t-j
            t/1
            t/2

The traverse_trees() function gets "t", "t-i" and "t" from trees O, A and
B first, and notices that A may have a matching "t" behind "t-i" and "t-j"
(indeed it does), and tells A to give that entry instead.  After unpacking
blob "t" from tree B (as it hasn't changed since O in B and A removed it,
it will result in its removal), it descends into directory "t/".

The side that walked index in parallel to the tree traversal used to be
implemented with one pointer, o->pos, that points at the next index entry
to be processed.  When this happens, the pointer o->pos still points at
"t-i" that is the first entry.  We should be able to skip "t-i" and "t-j"
and locate "t/1" from the index while the recursive invocation of
traverse_trees() walks and match entries found there, and later come back
to process "t-i".

While that look-ahead is not implemented yet, this adds a flag bit,
CE_UNPACKED, to mark the entries in the index that has already been
processed.  o->pos pointer has been renamed to o->cache_bottom and it
points at the first entry that may still need to be processed.

230a456638 rebase -i: teach --onto A...B syntax
When rewriting commits on a topic branch, sometimes it is easier to
compare the version of commits before and after the rewrite if they are
based on the same commit that forked from the upstream. An earlier commit
by Junio (fixed up by the previous commit) gives "--onto A...B" syntax to
rebase command, and rebases on top of the merge base between A and B;
teach the same to the interactive version, too.

which there are more than one merge bases, but forgot to give --all option

So pass the flags used to generate each .o file when generating

31838b4dcd Makefile: regenerate assembler listings when asked
'make var.s' fails to regenerate an assembler listing if var.c
has not changed but a header it includes has:

	$ make var.s
	    CC var.s
	$ touch cache.h
	$ make var.s
	$

The corresponding problem for 'make var.o' does not occur because
the Makefile lists dependencies for each .o target explicitly;
analogous dependency rules for the .s targets are not present.
Rather than add some, it seems better to force 'make' to always
regenerate assembler listings, since the assembler listing
targets are only invoked when specifically requested on the make
command line.

uname might not be the best way to determine the default location for

6396258368 t4030, t4031: work around bogus MSYS bash path conversion
Recall that MSYS bash converts POSIX style absolute paths to Windows style
absolute paths. Unfortunately, it converts a program argument that begins
with a double-quote and otherwise looks like an absolute POSIX path, but
in doing so, it strips everything past the second double-quote[*]. This
case is triggered in the two test scripts. The work-around is to place the
Windows style path returned by $(pwd) between the quotes to avoid the path
conversion.

[*] It is already bogus that a conversion is even considered when a program
argument begins with a double-quote because it cannot be an absolute POSIX
path.

    t-2  u
    t/a  v

When we are currently looking at an entry "t-1" in tree A, and tree B has
returned "t", feeding "t" from the B and not feeding anything from A, only
because "t-1" sorts later than "t", will miss an entry for a subtree "t"
behind the current entry in tree A.

This introduces extended_entry_extract() helper function that gives what
name is expected from the tree, and implements a mechanism to look-ahead
in the tree object using it, to make sure such a case is handled sanely.
Traversal in tree A in the above example will first return "t" to match
that of B, and then the next request for an entry to A then returns "t-1".

This roughly corresponds to what Linus's "prepare for one-entry lookahead"
wanted to do, but because this does implement look ahead, t6035 and one more
test in t1012 reveal that the approach would not work without adjusting the
side that walks the index in unpack_trees() as well.

e11d7b5969 "reset --merge": fix unmerged case
Commit 9e8ecea (Add 'merge' mode to 'git reset', 2008-12-01) disallowed
"git reset --merge" when there was unmerged entries.  But it wished if
unmerged entries were reset as if --hard (instead of --merge) has been
used.  This makes sense because all "mergy" operations makes sure that
any path involved in the merge does not have local modifications before
starting, so resetting such a path away won't lose any information.

The previous commit changed the behavior of --merge to accept resetting
unmerged entries if they are reset to a different state than HEAD, but it
did not reset the changes in the work tree, leaving the conflict markers
in the resulting file in the work tree.

Fix it by doing three things:

 - Update the documentation to match the wish of original "reset --merge"
   better, namely, "An unmerged entry is a sign that the path didn't have
   any local modification and can be safely resetted to whatever the new
   HEAD records";

 - Update read_index_unmerged(), which reads the index file into the cache
   while dropping any higher-stage entries down to stage #0, not to copy
   the object name from the higher stage entry.  The code used to take the
   object name from the a stage entry ("base" if you happened to have
   stage #1, or "ours" if both sides added, etc.), which essentially meant
   that you are getting random results depending on what the merge did.

   The _only_ reason we want to keep a previously unmerged entry in the
   index at stage #0 is so that we don't forget the fact that we have
   corresponding file in the work tree in order to be able to remove it
   when the tree we are resetting to does not have the path.  In order to
   differentiate such an entry from ordinary cache entry, the cache entry
   added by read_index_unmerged() is marked as CE_CONFLICTED.

 - Update merged_entry() and deleted_entry() so that they pay attention to
   cache entries marked as CE_CONFLICTED.  They are previously unmerged
   entries, and the files in the work tree that correspond to them are
   resetted away by oneway_merge() to the version from the tree we are
   resetting to.

d0f379c2dc reset: use "unpack_trees()" directly instead of "git read-tree"
This patch makes "reset_index_file()" call "unpack_trees()" directly
instead of forking and execing "git read-tree". So the code is more
efficient.

And it's also easier to see which unpack_tree() options will be used,
as we don't need to follow "git read-tree"'s command line parsing
which is quite complex.

As Daniel Barkalow found, there is a difference between this new
version and the old one. The old version gives an error for
"git reset --merge" with unmerged entries, and the new version does
not when we reset the entries to some states that differ from HEAD.
Instead, it resets the index entry and succeeds, while leaving the
conflict markers in the corresponding file in the work tree (which
will be corrected by the next patch).

The code comes from the sequencer GSoC project:

(at commit 5a78908b70ceb5a4ea9fd4b82f07ceba1f019079)

4cefa495ca git-difftool: Add '--gui' for selecting a GUI tool
Users might prefer to have git-difftool use a different
tool when run from a Git GUI.

This teaches git-difftool to honor 'diff.guitool' when
the '--gui' option is specified.  This allows users to
configure their preferred command-line diff tool in
'diff.tool' and a GUI diff tool in 'diff.guitool'.
