772f811398 Merge branch 'mz/reset-misc'
Various 'reset' optimizations and clean-ups, followed by a change
to allow "git reset" to work even on an unborn branch.

* mz/reset-misc:

  reset $pathspec: exit with code 0 if successful
  reset $pathspec: no need to discard index

c08e4d5b5c Enable minimal stat checking
Specifically the fields uid, gid, ctime, ino and dev are set to zero
by JGit. Other implementations, eg. Git in cygwin are allegedly also
somewhat incompatible with Git For Windows and on *nix platforms
the resolution of the timestamps may differ.

Any stat checking by git will then need to check content, which may
be very slow, particularly on Windows. Since mtime and size
is typically enough we should allow the user to tell git to avoid
checking these fields if they are set to zero in the index.

This change introduces a core.checkstat config option where the
the user can select to check all fields (default), or just size
and the whole second part of mtime (minimal).

ec55559f93 push: Add support for pre-push hooks
Add support for a pre-push hook which can be used to determine if the
set of refs to be pushed is suitable for the target repository.  The
hook is run with two arguments specifying the name and location of the
destination repository.

Information about what is to be pushed is provided by sending lines of
the following form to the hook's standard input:

  <local ref> SP <local sha1> SP <remote ref> SP <remote sha1> LF

If the hook exits with a non-zero status, the push will be aborted.

This will allow the script to determine if the push is acceptable based
on the target repository and branch(es), the commits which are to be
pushed, and even the source branches in some cases.

2934a484fd git-svn: teach find-rev to find near matches
When a single SVN repository is split into multiple Git repositories
many SVN revisions will exist in only one of the Git repositories
created.  For some projects the only way to build a working artifact is
to check out corresponding versions of various repositories, with no
indication of what those are in the Git world - in the SVN world the
revision numbers are sufficient.

By adding "--before" to "git-svn find-rev" we can say "tell me what this
repository looked like when that other repository looked like this":

    git svn find-rev --before \
        r$(git --git-dir=/over/there.git svn find-rev HEAD)

eff80a9fd9 Allow custom "comment char"
Some users do want to write a line that begin with a pound sign, #,
in their commit log message.  Many tracking system recognise
a token of #<bugid> form, for example.

The support we offer these use cases is not very friendly to the end
users.  They have a choice between

 - Don't do it.  Avoid such a line by rewrapping or indenting; and

 - Use --cleanup=whitespace but remove all the hint lines we add.

Give them a way to set a custom comment char, e.g.

    $ git -c core.commentchar="%" commit

so that they do not have to do either of the two workarounds.

[jc: although I started the topic, all the tests and documentation
updates, many of the call sites of the new strbuf_add_commented_*()
functions, and the change to git-submodule.sh scripted Porcelain are
from Ralf.]

40d69ac3a4 git p4: allow short ref names to --branch
For a clone or sync, --branch says where the newly imported
branch should go, or which existing branch to sync up.  It
takes an argument, which is currently either something that
starts with "refs/", or if not, "refs/heads/p4" is prepended.

Putting it in heads seems like a bad default; these should
go in remotes/p4/ in most situations.  Make that the new default,
and be more liberal in the form of the branch name.

4dcb167fc3 fetch: add --unshallow for turning shallow repo into complete one
The user can do --depth=2147483647 (*) for restoring complete repo
now. But it's hard to remember. Any other numbers larger than the
longest commit chain in the repository would also do, but some
guessing may be involved. Make easy-to-remember --unshallow an alias
for --depth=2147483647.

Make upload-pack recognize this special number as infinite depth. The
effect is essentially the same as before, except that upload-pack is
more efficient because it does not have to traverse to the bottom
anymore.

The chance of a user actually wanting exactly 2147483647 commits
depth, not infinite, on a repository with a history that long, is
probably too small to consider. The client can learn to add or
subtract one commit to avoid the special treatment when that actually
happens.

(*) This is the largest positive number a 32-bit signed integer can
    contain. JGit and older C Git store depth as "int" so both are OK
    with this number. Dulwich does not support shallow clone.

c082df2453 dir.c: use a single struct exclude_list per source of excludes
Previously each exclude_list could potentially contain patterns
from multiple sources.  For example dir->exclude_list[EXC_FILE]
would typically contain patterns from .git/info/exclude and
core.excludesfile, and dir->exclude_list[EXC_DIRS] could contain
patterns from multiple per-directory .gitignore files during
directory traversal (i.e. when dir->exclude_stack was more than
one item deep).

We split these composite exclude_lists up into three groups of
exclude_lists (EXC_CMDL / EXC_DIRS / EXC_FILE as before), so that each
exclude_list now contains patterns from a single source.  This will
allow us to cleanly track the origin of each pattern simply by adding
a src field to struct exclude_list, rather than to struct exclude,
which would make memory management of the source string tricky in the
EXC_DIRS case where its contents are dynamically generated.

Similarly, by moving the filebuf member from struct exclude_stack to
struct exclude_list, it allows us to track and subsequently free
memory buffers allocated during the parsing of all exclude files,
rather than only tracking buffers allocated for files in the EXC_DIRS
group.

709ca730f8 run-command: encode signal death as a positive integer
When a sub-command dies due to a signal, we encode the
signal number into the numeric exit status as "signal -
128". This is easy to identify (versus a regular positive
error code), and when cast to an unsigned integer (e.g., by
feeding it to exit), matches what a POSIX shell would return
when reporting a signal death in $? or through its own exit
code.

So we have a negative value inside the code, but once it
passes across an exit() barrier, it looks positive (and any
code we receive from a sub-shell will have the positive
form). E.g., death by SIGPIPE (signal 13) will look like
-115 to us in inside git, but will end up as 141 when we
call exit() with it. And a program killed by SIGPIPE but run
via the shell will come to us with an exit code of 141.

Unfortunately, this means that when the "use_shell" option
is set, we need to be on the lookout for _both_ forms. We
might or might not have actually invoked the shell (because
we optimize out some useless shell calls). If we didn't invoke
the shell, we will will see the sub-process's signal death
directly, and run-command converts it into a negative value.
But if we did invoke the shell, we will see the shell's
128+signal exit status. To be thorough, we would need to
check both, or cast the value to an unsigned char (after
checking that it is not -1, which is a magic error value).

Fortunately, most callsites do not care at all whether the
exit was from a code or from a signal; they merely check for
a non-zero status, and sometimes propagate the error via
exit(). But for the callers that do care, we can make life
slightly easier by just using the consistent positive form.

This actually fixes two minor bugs:

  1. In launch_editor, we check whether the editor died from
     SIGINT or SIGQUIT. But we checked only the negative
     form, meaning that we would fail to notice a signal
     death exit code which was propagated through the shell.

  2. In handle_alias, we assume that a negative return value
     from run_command means that errno tells us something
     interesting (like a fork failure, or ENOENT).
     Otherwise, we simply propagate the exit code. Negative
     signal death codes confuse us, and we print a useless
     "unable to run alias 'foo': Success" message. By
     encoding signal deaths using the positive form, the
     existing code just propagates it as it would a normal
     non-zero exit code.

The downside is that callers of run_command can no longer
differentiate between a signal received directly by the
sub-process, and one propagated. However, no caller
currently cares, and since we already optimize out some
calls to the shell under the hood, that distinction is not
something that should be relied upon by callers.

Fix the same logic in t/test-terminal.perl for consistency [jc:
raised by Jonathan in the discussion].
