There are three ways to specify an external diff command:
GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF in the environment, diff.external in the
config, or a "diff" gitattribute. The current order of
precedence is:
1. gitattribute
2. GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF
3. diff.external
Usually our rule is that environment variables should take
precedence over on-disk config (i.e., option 2 should come
before option 1). However, this situation is trickier than
some, because option 1 is more specific to the individual
file than option 2 (which affects all files), so it might be
preferable. So the current behavior can be seen as
implementing "do the specific thing if we can, but fall back
to this general thing".
This is probably not what we would do if we were writing git
from scratch, but it has been this way for several years,
and is not worth changing. So let's at least document that
this is the way it's supposed to work with a test.
While we're there, let's also make sure that diff.external
(which was not previously tested at all) works by running it
through the same tests as GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF.

Upon seeing a type-change filepair, "diff --no-ext-diff" does not
show the usual "deletion followed by addition" split patch and does
not run the external diff driver either.
This is because the logic to disable external diff was placed at a
wrong level in the callchain. run_diff_cmd() decides to show the
split patch only when external diff driver is not configured or
specified via GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF environment, but this is done before
checking if --no-ext-diff was given. To make things worse,
run_diff_cmd() checks --no-ext-diff and disables the output for such
a filepair completely, as the callchain below it (e.g. builtin_diff)
does not want to handle typechange filepairs.

If "git am" fails to apply something, the end user may need to know
where to find the patch that failed to apply, so that the user can
do other things (e.g. trying "GNU patch" on it, running "diffstat"
to see what it tried to change, etc.) The input to "am" may have
contained more than one patch, or the message may have been MIME

Since 69c3051 (submodules: refactor computation of relative gitdir path)
cloning a submodule recursively fails for nested submodules when a
symbolic link is part of the path to the work tree of the superproject.
This happens when module_clone() tries to find the relative paths between
the work tree and the git dir. When a symbolic link in current $PWD points
to a directory that is at a different level, then determining the number
of "../" needed to traverse to the superproject's work tree leads to a
wrong result.
As there is no portable way to say "pwd -P", use cd_to_toplevel to remove
the link from $PWD, which fixes this problem.
A test for this issue has been added to t7406.

When we do not have any pathspec, we typically disallow an
explicit "--only", because it makes no sense (your commit
would, by definition, be empty). But since 6a74642
(git-commit --amend: two fixes., 2006-04-20), we have
allowed "--amend --only" with the intent that it would amend
the commit, ignoring any contents staged in the index.
However, while that commit allowed the combination, we never
actually implemented the logic to make it work. The current
code notices that we have no pathspec and assumes we want to
do an as-is commit (i.e., the "--only" is ignored).
Instead, we must make sure to follow the partial-commit
code-path. We also need to tweak the list_paths function to
handle a NULL pathspec.

The original version of the git-clone just used mkdir(1) to create
the working directories. The version rewritten in C creates all
directories inside the working tree by using the mode argument of
0777 when calling mkdir(2) to let the umask take effect.
But the top-level directory of the working tree is created by
passing the mode argument of 0755 to mkdir(2), which results in an
overly tight restriction if the user wants to make directories group
writable with a looser umask like 002.

When we try to push a ref and the right-hand side of the
refspec does not find a match, we try to create it. If it is
not fully qualified, we try to guess where it would go in
the refs hierarchy based on the left-hand source side. If
the source side is not a ref, then we give up and give a
long explanatory message.
For deletions, however, this doesn't make any sense. We
would never want to create on the remote side, and if an
unqualified ref can't be matched, it is simply an error. The
current code handles this already because the left-hand side
is empty, and therefore does not give us a hint as to where
the right-hand side should go, and we properly error out.
Unfortunately, the error message is the long "we tried to
qualify this, but the source side didn't let us guess"
message, which is quite confusing.
Instead, we can just be more succinct and say "we can't
delete this because we couldn't find it". So before:
$ git push origin :bogus
error: unable to push to unqualified destination: bogus
The destination refspec neither matches an existing ref on the remote nor
begins with refs/, and we are unable to guess a prefix based on the source ref.
error: failed to push some refs to '$URL'
and now:
$ git push origin :bogus
error: unable to delete 'bogus': remote ref does not exist
error: failed to push some refs to '$URL'
It is tempting to also catch a fully-qualified ref like
"refs/heads/bogus" and generate the same error message.
However, that currently does not error out at all, and
instead gets sent to the remote side, which typically
generates a warning:
$ git push origin:refs/heads/bogus
remote: warning: Deleting a non-existent ref.
To $URL
- [deleted] bogus
While it would be nice to catch this error early, a
client-side error would mean aborting the push entirely and
changing push's exit code. For example, right now you can
do:
$ git push origin refs/heads/foo refs/heads/bar
and end up in a state where "foo" and "bar" are deleted,
whether both of them currently exist or not (and see an
error only if we actually failed to contact the server).
Generating an error would cause a regression for this use
case.

A path containing a space must be quoted when used as an
argument to either the copy or rename commands (because
unlike other commands, the path is not the final thing on
the line for those commands).
Commit 6280dfdc3b (fast-export: quote paths in output,
2011-08-05) previously attempted to fix fast-export's
quoting by passing all paths through quote_c_style().
However, that function does not consider the space to be a
character which requires quoting, so let's special-case the
space inside print_path(). This will cause space-containing
paths to also be quoted in other commands where such quoting
is not strictly necessary, but it does not hurt to do so.
The test from 6280dfdc3b did not detect this because, while
it does introduce renames in the export stream, it does not
actually turn on rename detection, so they were presented as
pairs of deletions/adds. Using "-M" reveals the bug.
