Previously when merging directly from a local tracking
branch like:
git merge origin/master
The merge message said:
Merge commit 'origin/master'
* commit 'origin/master':
...
Instead, let's be more explicit about what we are merging:
Merge remote branch 'origin/master'
* origin/master:
...
We accomplish this by recognizing remote tracking branches
in git-merge when we build the simulated FETCH_HEAD output
that we feed to fmt-merge-msg.
In addition to a new test in t7608, we have to tweak the
expected output of t3409, which does such a merge.

If we have both a tag and a branch named "foo", then calling
"git merge foo" will warn about the ambiguous ref, but merge
the tag.
When generating the commit message, though, we simply
checked whether "refs/heads/foo" existed, and if it did,
assumed it was a branch. This led to the statement "Merge
branch 'foo'" in the commit message, which is quite wrong.
Instead, we should use dwim_ref to find the actual ref used,
and describe it appropriately.
In addition to the test in t7608, we must also tweak the
expected output of t4202, which was accidentally triggering
this bug.

There are a few remaining ones, but this fixes the trivial ones. It boils
down to two main issues that sparse complains about:
- warning: Using plain integer as NULL pointer
Sparse doesn't like you using '0' instead of 'NULL'. For various good
reasons, not the least of which is just the visual confusion. A NULL
pointer is not an integer, and that whole "0 works as NULL" is a
historical accident and not very pretty.
A few of these remain: zlib is a total mess, and Z_NULL is just a 0.
I didn't touch those.
- warning: symbol 'xyz' was not declared. Should it be static?
Sparse wants to see declarations for any functions you export. A lack
of a declaration tends to mean that you should either add one, or you
should mark the function 'static' to show that it's in file scope.
A few of these remain: I only did the ones that should obviously just
be made static.
That 'wt_status_submodule_summary' one is debatable. It has a few related
flags (like 'wt_status_use_color') which _are_ declared, and are used by
builtin-commit.c. So maybe we'd like to export it at some point, but it's
not declared now, and not used outside of that file, so 'static' it is in
this patch.

The following is an easy mistake to make for users coming from version
control systems with an "update and commit"-style workflow.
1. git pull
2. resolve conflicts
3. git pull
Step 3 overrides MERGE_HEAD, starting a new merge with dirty index.
IOW, probably not what the user intended. Instead, refuse to merge
again if a merge is in progress.

A function that runs a hook is used in several Git commands.
builtin-commit.c has the one that is most general for cases without
piping. The one in builtin-gc.c prints some useful warnings.
This patch moves a merged version of these variants into libgit and
lets the other builtins use this libified run_hook().
The run_hook() function used in receive-pack.c feeds the standard
input of the pre-receive or post-receive hooks. This function is
renamed to run_receive_hook() because the libified run_hook() cannot
handle this.

Since commit 6bb6b034 (builtin-commit: use commit_tree(), 2008-09-10),
builtin-commit performs a reduce_heads() unconditionally. However,
it's not always needed, and in some cases even harmful.
reduce_heads() is not needed for the initial commit or for an
"ordinary" commit, because they don't have any or have only one
parent, respectively.
reduce_heads() must be avoided when 'git commit' is run after a 'git
merge --no-ff --no-commit', otherwise it will turn the
non-fast-forward merge into fast-forward. For the same reason,
reduce_heads() must be avoided when amending such a merge commit.
To resolve this issue, 'git merge' will write info about whether
fast-forward is allowed or not to $GIT_DIR/MERGE_MODE. Based on this
info, 'git commit' will only perform reduce_heads() when it's
committing a merge and fast-forward is enabled.
Also add test cases to ensure that non-fast-forward merges are
committed and amended properly.

The "trivial merge" codepath wants to optimize itself by making an
internal call to the read-tree machinery, but it does not read the index
before doing so, and the codepath is never exercised. Incidentally, this
failure to read the index upfront means that the safety to refuse doing
anything when the index is unmerged does not kick in, either.
These two problem are fixed by using read_cache_unmerged() that does read
the index before checking if it is unmerged at the beginning of
cmd_merge().
The primary logic of the merge, however, assumes that the process never
reads the index in-core, and the call to write_cache_as_tree() it makes
from write_tree_trivial() will always read from the on-disk index that is
prepared the strategy back-ends. This assumption is now broken by the
above fix. To fix this issue, we now call discard_cache() before calling
write_tree_trivial() when it wants to write the on-disk index as a tree.
When multiple strategies are tried, their results are evaluated by reading
the resulting index and inspecting it. The codepath needs to make a call
to read_cache() for each successful strategy, and for that to work, they
need to discard_cache() the one read by the previous round.
Also the "trivial merge" forgot that the current commit is one of the
parents of the resulting commit.

When merging an early part of a branch, e.g. "git merge xyzzy~20", we were
supposed to say "branch 'xyzzy' (early part)", but it incorrectly said
"branch 'refs/heads/xy' (early part)" instead.
The logic was supposed to first strip away "~20" part to make sure that
what follows "~" is a non-zero posint, prefix it with "refs/heads/" and
ask resolve_ref() if it is a ref. If it is, then we know xyzzy was a
branch, and we can give the correct message.
However, there were a few bugs. First of all, the logic to build this
"true branch refname" did not count the characters correctly. At this
point of the code, "len" is the number of trailing, non-name part of the
given extended SHA-1 expression given by the user, i.e. number of bytes in
"~20" in the above example.
In addition, the message forgot to skip "refs/heads/" it prefixed from the
output.

Allow using a custom strategy, as long as it's named git-merge-foo. The
error handling is now done using is_git_command(). The list of available
strategies is now shown by list_commands().
If an invalid strategy is supplied, like -s foobar, then git-merge would
list all git-merge-* commands. This is not perfect, since for example
git-merge-index is not a valid strategy.
These are removed from the output by scanning the list of main commands;
if the git-merge-foo command is listed in the all_strategy list, then
it's shown, otherwise excluded. This does not exclude commands somewhere
else in the PATH, where custom strategies are expected.
