f2b6a19907 rebase --root: print usage on too many args
Just like

  git rebase --onto newbase upstream branch error

displays the usage message, so should clearly

  git rebase --onto newbase --root branch error

, but it doesn't. Instead, it ignores both "branch" and "error" and
rebases the current HEAD. This is because we try to match the number
of remainging arguments "$#", which fails to match "1" argument and
matches the "*" that really should have been a "0".

Make sure we display usage information when too many arguments are
given. Also fail-fast in case of similar bugs in the future by
matching on exactly 0 arguments and failing on unknown numbers.

572a7c52bb rebase: don't source git-sh-setup twice
The git-sh-setup script is already sourced in git-rebase.sh before
calling into git-rebase--(am|interactive|merge).sh. There are no other
callers of these scripts. It is therefore unnecessary to source
git-sh-setup again in them.

8ced1aa08f git-checkout: disallow --detach on unborn branch
abe199808c (git checkout -b: allow switching out of an unborn branch)
introduced a bug demonstrated by

  git checkout --orphan foo
  git checkout --detach
  git symbolic-ref HEAD

which gives 'refs/heads/(null)'.

This happens because we strbuf_addf(&branch_ref, "refs/heads/%s",
opts->new_branch) when opts->new_branch can be NULL for --detach.

Catch and forbid this case, adding a test to t2017 to catch it in
future.

a7271ad1dc git-remote-mediawiki: add credential support
The previous version implemented the possibility to log in a wiki, but
the username and password had to be provided as configuration variables.
We add the possibility to use the Git credential system to prompt
the password.

The support if implemented with generic functions that mimic the C API,
designed to be usable from other contexts in the future (i.e. they may
migrate to Git.pm if someone is interested).

While we're there, do a bit of refactoring in mw_connect_maybe.

2d6dc182b8 git credential fill: output the whole 'struct credential'
Instead of outputing only the username and password, print all the
attributes, even those that already appeared in the input.

This is closer to what the C API does, and allows one to take the exact
output of "git credential fill" as input to "git credential approve" or
"git credential reject".

e30b2feb1b add 'git credential' plumbing command
The credential API is in C, and not available to scripting languages.
Expose the functionalities of the API by wrapping them into a new
plumbing command "git credentials".

In other words, replace the internal "test-credential" by an official Git
command.

0e8593dc5b config: write to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config file when appropriate
Teach git to write to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config if

 - it already exists,
 - $HOME/.gitconfig file doesn't, and
 - The --global option is used.

Otherwise, write to $HOME/.gitconfig when the --global option is
given, as before.

If the user doesn't create $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config, there is
absolutely no change. Users can use this new file only if they want.

If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is either not set or empty, $HOME/.config/git/config
will be used.

Advice for users who often come back to an old version of Git: you
shouldn't create this file.

dc79687e0b Let core.excludesfile default to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/ignore
To use the feature of core.excludesfile, the user needs:

 1. to create such a file,

 2. and add configuration variable to point at it.

Instead, we can make this a one-step process by choosing a default value
which points to a filename in the user's $HOME, that is unlikely to
already exist on the system, and only use the presence of the file as a
cue that the user wants to use that feature.

And we use "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config/git}/ignore" as such a
file, in the same directory as the newly added configuration file
("${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config/git}/config).  The use of this
directory is in line with XDG specification as a location to store
such application specific files.

21cf322791 config: read (but not write) from $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config file
Teach git to read the "gitconfig" information from a new location,
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config; this allows the user to avoid
cluttering $HOME with many per-application configuration files.

In the order of reading, this file comes between the global
configuration file (typically $HOME/.gitconfig) and the system wide
configuration file (typically /etc/gitconfig).

We do not write to this new location (yet).

If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is either not set or empty, $HOME/.config/git/config
will be used. This is in line with XDG specification.

If the new file does not exist, the behavior is unchanged.

304970dd5d diff-no-index: exit(1) if 'diff --quiet <repo file> <external file>' finds changes
When running 'git diff --quiet <file1> <file2>', if file1 or file2
is outside the repository, it will exit(0) even if the files differ.
It should exit(1) when they differ.

This happens because 'diff_no_index' looks at the 'found_changes'
member from 'diff_options' to determine if changes were made.  This
is the wrong thing to do, since it is only set if xdiff is actually
run and it finds a change (the diff machinery will optimize out the
xdiff call when it is not necessary) and in that case HAS_CHANGED
flag needs to be taken into account.

Use diff_result_code() that knows all these details for the correct
exit value instead.

60475183c0 docs: always define git-relative-html-prefix attribute
Commit fe77b41 introduced a new attribute to let the linkgit macro
create cross-directory HTML references from the technical/ and howto/
subdirectories back to the main documentation. We define that attribute
to "../" on the command-line when building inside those subdirectories,
and otherwise leave it unset under the assumption that it would default
to being blank.  Instead, asciidoc omits the link entirely, leading to
broken documentation. Fix this by defining git-relative-html-prefix to
blank in asciidoc.conf (and an instance on the command-line, when
present, will override it).

b8ba629264 Makefile: fold MISC_H into LIB_H
We keep a list of most of the header files in LIB_H, but
some are split out into MISC_H. The original point
of LIB_H was that it would force recompilation of C files
when any of the library headers changed. It was
over-encompassing, since not all C files included all of the
library headers; this made it simple to maintain, but meant
that we sometimes recompiled when it was not necessary.

Over time, some new headers were omitted from LIB_H, and
rules were added to the Makefile for a few specific targets
to explicitly depend on them. This avoided some unnecessary
recompilation at the cost of having to maintain the
dependency list of those targets manually (e.g., d349a03).

Later, we needed a complete list of headers from which we
should extract strings to localized. Thus 1b8b2e4 introduced
MISC_H to mention all header files not included in LIB_H,
and the concatenation of the two lists is fed to xgettext.
Headers mentioned as dependencies must also be manually
added to MISC_H to receive the benefits of localization.

Having to update multiple locations manually is a pain and
has led to errors. For example, see "git log -Swt-status.h
Makefile" for some back-and-forth between the two locations.
Or the fact that column.h was never added to MISC_H, and
therefore was not localized (which is fixed by this patch).
Moreover, the benefits of keeping these few headers out of
LIB_H is not that great, for two reasons:

  1. The better way to do this is by auto-computing the
     dependencies, which is more accurate and less work to
     maintain. If your compiler supports it, we turn on
     computed header dependencies by default these days. So
     these manual dependencies are used only for people who
     do not have gcc at all (which increases the chance of
     them becoming stale, as many developers will never even
     use them).

  2. Even if you do not have gcc, the manual header
     dependencies do not help all that much.  They obviously
     cannot help with an initial compilation (since their
     purpose is to avoid unnecessary recompilation when a
     header changes), which means they are only useful when
     building a new version of git in the working tree that
     held an existing build (e.g., after checkout or during a
     bisection). But since a change of a header in LIB_H
     will force recompilation, and given that the vast
     majority of headers are in LIB_H, most version changes
     will result in a full rebuild anyway.

Let's just fold MISC_H into LIB_H and get rid of these
manual rules. The worst case is some extra compilation, but
even that is unlikely to matter due to the reasons above.

The one exception is that we should keep common-cmds.h
separate. Because it is generated, the computed dependencies
do not handle it properly, and we must keep separate
individual dependencies on it. Let's therefore rename MISC_H
to GENERATED_H to make it more clear what should go in it.

fc890030c1 Makefile: sort LIB_H list
This was mostly sorted already, but put things like
"cache-tree.h" after "cache.h", even though "-" comes before
"." (at least in the C locale). This will make it easier to
keep the list sorted later by piping it through "sort".

b7be4366ea completion: respect $GIT_DIR
The __gitdir() helper function finds out the path of the git
repository by running 'git rev-parse --git-dir'.  However, it has a
shortcut first to avoid the overhead of running a git command in a
subshell when the current directory is at the top of the work tree,
i.e. when it contains a '.git' subdirectory.

If the 'GIT_DIR' environment variable is set then it specifies the
path to the git repository, and the autodetection of the '.git'
directory is not necessary.  However, $GIT_DIR is only taken into
acocunt by 'git rev-parse --git-dir', and the check for the '.git'
subdirectory is performed first, so it wins over the path given in
$GIT_DIR.

There are several completion (helper) functions that depend on
__gitdir(), and when the above case triggers the completion script
will do weird things, like offering refs, aliases, or stashes from a
different repository, or displaying wrong or broken prompt, etc.

So check first whether $GIT_DIR is set, and only proceed with checking
the '.git' directory in the current directory if it isn't.  'git
rev-parse' would also check whether the path in $GIT_DIR is a proper
'.git' directory, i.e. 'HEAD', 'refs/', and 'objects/' are present and
accessible, but we don't have to be that thorough for the bash prompt.
And we've lived with an equally permissive check for '.git' in the
current working directory for years anyway.
