Verify that the update hooks work as documented/advertised. This is
a simple set of tests to check that the update hooks run with the
parameters expected, have their STDOUT and STDERR redirected to
the client side of the connection, and that their STDIN does not
contain any data (as its actually /dev/null).

Sometimes its necessary to supply a value as a power of two in a
configuration parameter. In this case the user may want to use the
standard suffixes such as K, M, or G to indicate that the numerical
value should be multiplied by a constant base before being used.
Shell scripts/etc. can also benefit from this automatic option
parsing with `git repo-config --int`.

Currently the update hook invoked by receive-pack has its stdin
connected to the pushing client. The hook shouldn't attempt to
read from this stream, and doing so may consume data that was
meant for receive-pack. Instead we should give the update hook
/dev/null as its stdin, ensuring that it always receives EOF and
doesn't disrupt the protocol if it attempts to read any data.
The post-update hook is similar, as it gets invoked with /dev/null
on stdin to prevent the hook from reading data from the client.
Previously we had invoked it with stdout also connected to /dev/null,
throwing away anything on stdout, to prevent client protocol errors.
Instead we should redirect stdout to stderr, like we do with the
update hook.

If an update hook outputs to stdout then that output will be sent
back over the wire to the push client as though it were part of
the git protocol. This tends to cause protocol errors on the
client end of the connection, as the hook output is not expected
in that context. Most hook developers work around this by making
sure their hook outputs everything to stderr.
But hooks shouldn't need to perform such special behavior. Instead
we can just dup stderr to stdout prior to invoking the update hook.

The argc parameter is never used by the run_command_v family of
functions. Instead they require that the passed argv[] be NULL
terminated so they can rely on the operating system's execvp
function to correctly pass the arguments to the new process.
Making the caller pass the argc is just confusing, as the caller
could be mislead into believing that the argc might take precendece
over the argv, or that the argv does not need to be NULL terminated.
So goodbye argc. Don't come back.

Many users find it unfriendly that they can create a bare git
repository easily with `git clone --bare` but are then unable to
run simple commands like `git log` once they cd into that newly
created bare repository. This occurs because we do not check to
see if the current working directory is a git repository.
Instead of failing out with "fatal: Not a git repository" we should
try to automatically detect if the current working directory is
a bare repository and use that for GIT_DIR, and fail out only if
that doesn't appear to be true.
We test the current working directory only after we have tried
searching up the directory tree. This is to retain backwards
compatibility with our previous behavior on the off chance that
a user has a 'refs' and 'objects' subdirectories and a 'HEAD'
file that looks like a symref, all stored within a repository's
associated working directory.
This change also consolidates the validation logic between the case
of GIT_DIR being supplied and GIT_DIR not being supplied, cleaning
up the code.

Many users have noticed that core.filemode doesn't appear to be
automatically set right on Cygwin when using a repository stored
on NTFS. The issue is that Cygwin and NTFS correctly supports
the executable mode bit, and Git properly detected that, but most
native Windows applications tend to create files such that Cygwin
sees the executable bit set when it probably shouldn't be.
This is especially bad if the user's favorite editor deletes the
file then recreates it whenever they save (vs. just overwriting)
as now a file that was created with mode 0644 by checkout-index
appears to have mode 0755.
So we introduce NO_TRUSTABLE_FILEMODE, settable at compile time.
Setting this option forces core.filemode to false, even if the
detection code would have returned true. This option should be
enabled by default on Cygwin.

In very obscure cases, a merge can hit an unexpected code path (where the
original code went as far as saying that this was a bug). This failing
merge was noticed by Alexandre Juillard.
The problem is that the original file contains something like this:
-- snip --
two non-empty lines
before two empty lines
after two empty lines
-- snap --
and this snippet is reduced to _one_ empty line in _both_ new files.
However, it is ambiguous as to which hunk takes the empty line: the first
or the second one?
Indeed in Alexandre's example files, the xdiff algorithm attributes the
empty line to the first hunk in one case, and to the second hunk in the
other case.
(Trimming down the example files _changes_ that behaviour!)
Thus, the call to xdl_merge_cmp_lines() has no chance to realize that the
change is actually identical in both new files. Therefore,
xdl_refine_conflicts() finds an empty diff script, which was not expected
there, because (the original author of xdl_merge() thought)
xdl_merge_cmp_lines() would catch that case earlier.

After re-coding the commit message into the encoding the user
specified (either with core.logoutputencidng or --encoding
option), this drops the "encoding" header altogether. The
output is after re-coding as the user asked (either with the
config or --encoding=<encoding> option), and the extra header
becomes redundant information.

Telling the git-log family not to do any character conversion is
done with --encoding=none, which sets log_output_encoding to an
empty string. However, logmsg_reencode() confused this with
log_output_encoding and commit_encoding set to NULL. The latter
means we should use the default encoding (i.e. utf-8).

send-pack builds a pipeline that runs "rev-list | pack-objects"
and sends the output from pack-objects to the other side, while
feeding the input side of that pipe from itself. However, the
file descriptor that is given to this pipeline (so that it can
be dup2(2)'ed into file descriptor 1 of pack-objects) is closed
by the caller before the complex fork+exec dance! Worse yet,
the caller already dup2's it to 1, so the child process did not
even have to.
I do not understand how this code could possibly have been
working, but it somehow was working by accident.
Merging the sliding mmap() code reveals this problem, presumably
because it keeps one extra file descriptor open for a packfile
and changes the way file descriptors are allocated. I am too
tired to diagnose the problem now, but this seems to be a
sensible fix.

When '*.ig' is ignored, and you have two files f.ig and d.ig/foo
in the working tree,
$ git add .
correctly ignored f.ig but failed to ignore d.ig/foo. This was
caused by a thinko in an earlier commit 4888c534, when we tried
to allow adding otherwise ignored files.
After reverting that commit, this takes a much simpler approach.
When we have an unmatched pathspec that talks about an existing
pathname, we know it is an ignored path the user tried to add,
so we include it in the set of paths directory walker returned.
This does not let you say "git add -f D" on an ignored directory
D and add everything under D. People can submit a patch to
further allow it if they want to, but I think it is a saner
behaviour to require explicit paths to be spelled out in such a
case.

This changes the default remote.origin.fetch configuration
created by git-clone so that it allows non-fast-forward updates.
When using the separate-remote layout with reflog enabled, it
does not make much sense to refuse to update the remote tracking
branch just because some of them do not fast-forward. git-fetch
issues warnings on non-fast-forwardness, and the user can peek
at what the previous state was using the reflog.

In some environments, certain tests have no way of succeeding
due to platform limitation, such as lack of 'unzip' program, or
filesystem that do not allow arbitrary sequence of non-NUL bytes
as pathnames.
You should be able to say something like
$ cd t
$ GIT_SKIP_TESTS=t9200.8 t9200-git-cvsexport-commit.sh
and even:
$ GIT_SKIP_TESTS='t[0-4]??? t91?? t9200.8' make test
to omit such tests. The value of the environment variable is a
SP separated list of patterns that tells which tests to skip,
and either can match the "t[0-9]{4}" part to skip the whole
test, or t[0-9]{4} followed by ".$number" to say which
particular test to skip.
Note that some tests in the existing test suite rely on previous
test item, so you cannot arbitrarily disable one and expect the
remainder of test to check what the test originally was intended
to check.

We have less code to worry about now. As a bonus, --revision
can be used to reliably skip parts of history whenever fetch is
run, not just the first time. I'm not sure why anybody would
want to skip history in the middle, however...
For people (nearly everyone at the moment) without the
do_switch() function in their Perl SVN library, the entire tree
must be refetched if --follow-parent is used and a parent is
found. Future versions of SVN will have a working do_switch()
function accessible via Perl.
Accessing repositories on the local machine (especially file://
ones) is also slightly slower as a result; but I suspect most
git-svn users will be using it to access remote repositories.
