Before parsing a suspected smart-HTTP response verify the returned
Content-Type matches the standard. This protects a client from
attempting to process a payload that smells like a smart-HTTP
server response.
JGit has been doing this check on all responses since the dawn of

was introduced. At the time I didn't know how to get the Content-Type
from libcurl. I punted, meant to circle back and fix this, and just
plain forgot about it.

Recent enhancements to git-completion.bash provide intelligent path
completion for git commands. Such completions do not provide the
'/' at the end of directories for recent versions of bash; instead,
bash itself will add the trailing slash to directories to the result
provided by git-completion.bash. However, the completion for tcsh
uses the result of the bash completion script directly, so it either
needs to add the necessary slash itself, or needs to ask the bash
script to keep the trailing slash.
Adding the slash itself is difficult because we have to check the
each path in the output of the bash script to see if it is meant to
be a directory or something else. For example, assuming there is a
directory named 'commit' in the current directory, then, when
completing
git add commit<tab>
we would need to add a slash, but for
git help commit<tab>
we should not.
Figuring out such differences would require adding much intelligence
to the tcsh completion script. Instead, it is simpler to ask the
bash script to keep the trailing slash. This patch does this.
Also, tcsh does not handle the colon as a completion separator so we
remove it from the list of separators.

"gcc -MF depfile -MMD -MP -c -o path/to/file.o" produces a makefile
snippet named "depfile" describing what files are needed to build the
target given by "-o". When ccache versions before v3.0pre0~187 (Fix
handling of the -MD and -MDD options, 2009-11-01) run, they execute
gcc -MF depfile -MMD -MP -E
instead to get the final content for hashing. Notice that the "-c -o"
combination is replaced by "-E". The result is a target name without
a leading path.
Thus when building git with such versions of ccache with
COMPUTE_HEADER_DEPENDENCIES enabled, the generated makefile snippets
define dependencies for the wrong target:
$ make builtin/add.o
GIT_VERSION = 1.7.8.rc3
* new build flags or prefix
CC builtin/add.o
$ head -1 builtin/.depend/add.o.d
add.o: builtin/add.c cache.h git-compat-util.h compat/bswap.h strbuf.h \
After a change in a header file, object files in a subdirectory are
not automatically rebuilt by "make":
$ touch cache.h
$ make builtin/add.o
$
Luckily we can prevent trouble by explicitly supplying the name of the
target to ccache and gcc, using the -MQ option. Do so.

TortoiseGitMerge, unlike TortoiseMerge, can be told to handle paths
with spaces in them by using -option "$FILE" (not -option:"$FILE",
which does not work for such paths) syntax.
This change was necessary because of MSYS path mangling [1], the ":"
after the "base" etc. arguments to TortoiseMerge caused the whole
argument instead of just the file name to be quoted in case of file
names with spaces. So TortoiseMerge was passed
"-base:new file.txt"
instead of
-base:"new file.txt"
(including the quotes). To work around this, TortoiseGitMerge does not
require the ":" after the arguments anymore which fixes handling file
names with spaces [2] (as written above).

because they didn't indicate *which* pipe couldn't be created.

"git am -3" uses this function to build a tree that records how the
preimage the patch was created from would have looked like. An
abbreviated object name on the index line is ordinarily sufficient
for us to figure out the object name the preimage tree would have
contained, but a change to a submodule by definition shows an object
name of a submodule commit which our repository should not have, and
get_sha1_blob() is not an appropriate way to read it (or get_sha1()
for that matter).
Use get_sha1_hex() and complain if we do not find a full object name
there.
We could read from the payload part of the patch to learn the full
object name of the commit, but the primary user "git rebase" has
been fixed to give us a full object name, so this should suffice
for now.

The local variable sha1_ptr in the build_fake_ancestor() function
used to either point at the null_sha1[] (if the ancestor did not
have the path) or at sha1[] (if we read the object name into the
local array), but 7a98869 (apply: get rid of --index-info in favor
of --build-fake-ancestor, 2007-09-17) made the "missing in the
ancestor" case unnecessary, hence sha1_ptr, when used, always points
at the local array.
Get rid of the unneeded variable, and restructure the if/else
cascade a bit to make it easier to read. There should be no
behaviour change.

Earlier, a230949 (am --rebasing: get patch body from commit, not
from mailbox, 2012-06-26) learned to regenerate patch body from the
commit object while rebasing, instead of reading from the rebase-am
front-end. While doing so, it used "git diff-tree" but without
giving it the "--full-index" option.
This does not matter for in-repository objects; during rebasing, any
abbreviated object name should uniquely identify them.
But we may be rebasing a commit that contains a change to a gitlink,
in which case we usually should not have the object (it names a
commit in the submodule). A full object name is necessary to later
reconstruct a fake ancestor index for them.

may find 'pull.default = tracking' and wonder what it means, but
earlier we stopped mentioning this value, even though the code still
support it and more importantly, we have no intention to force old
timers to update their configuration files.
Instead of not mentioning it, add it to the description in a way
that makes it clear that users have no reason to add new uses of it
preferring over 'upstream', by not listing it as a separate item on
the same footing as other values but as a deprecated synonym of the
'upstream' in its description.

Currently, a branch filter like `--contains`, `--merged`, or
`--no-merged` is ignored when we are not in listing mode.
For example:
git branch --contains=foo bar
will create the branch "bar" from the current HEAD, ignoring
the `--contains` argument entirely. This is not very
helpful. There are two reasonable behaviors for git here:
1. Flag an error; the arguments do not make sense.
2. Implicitly go into `--list` mode
This patch chooses the latter, as it is more convenient, and
there should not be any ambiguity with attempting to create
a branch; using `--contains` and not wanting to list is
nonsensical.
That leaves the case where an explicit modification option
like `-d` is given. We already catch the case where
`--list` is given alongside `-d` and flag an error. With
this patch, we will also catch the use of `--contains` and
other filter options alongside `-d`.
