da0204df58 fetch: if not fetching from default remote, ignore default merge
When doing "git fetch <remote>" on a remote that does not have the
branch referenced in branch.<current-branch>.merge, git fetch failed.
It failed because it tried to add the "merge" ref to the refs to be
fetched.

Fix that.  And add a test case.

Incidentally, this unconvered a bug in our own test suite, where
"git pull <some-path>" was expected to merge the ref given in the
defaults, even if not pulling from the default remote.

2e13e5d892 Merge branch 'master' into db/fetch-pack
There's a number of tricky conflicts between master and
this topic right now due to the rewrite of builtin-push.
Junio must have handled these via rerere; I'd rather not
deal with them again so I'm pre-merging master into the
topic.  Besides this topic somehow started to depend on
the strbuf series that was in next, but is now in master.
It no longer compiles on its own without the strbuf API.

11f2441f05 Add a --dry-run option to git-push.
The default behaviour of git-push is potentially confusing
for new users, since it will push changes that are not on
the current branch. Publishing patches that were still
cooking on a development branch is hard to undo.

It would also be nice to be able to verify the expansion
of refspecs if you've edited them, so that you know
what branches matched on the server.

Adding a --dry-run flag allows the user to experiment
safely and learn how to use git-push properly. Originally
suggested by Steffen Prohaska.

304b5af64f Clean up "git log" format with DIFF_FORMAT_NO_OUTPUT
This fixes an unnecessary empty line that we add to the log message when
we generate diffs, but don't actually end up printing any due to having
DIFF_FORMAT_NO_OUTPUT set.

This can happen with pickaxe or with rename following. The reason is that
we normally add an empty line between the commit and the diff, but we do
that even for the case where we've then suppressed the actual printing of
the diff.

This also updates a couple of tests that assumed the extraneous empty
line would exist at the end of output.

We lost rsync support when transitioning from shell to C.  Support it
again (even if the transport is technically deprecated, some people just
do not have any chance to use anything else).

Also, add a test to t5510.  Since rsync transport is not configured by
default on most machines, and especially not such that you can write to
rsync://127.0.0.1$(pwd)/, it is disabled by default; you can enable it by
setting the environment variable TEST_RSYNC.

This changes the interporate() to replace entries with NULL values
by the empty string, and uses it to interpolate missing fields in
custom format output used in git-log and friends.  It is most useful
to avoid <unknown> output from %b format for a commit log message
that lack any body text.

These options can be used to override --no-commit and --squash, which is
needed since --no-commit and --squash now can be specified as default merge

The change also introduces slightly different behavior for --no-commit:
when specified, it explicitly overrides --squash. Earlier,
'git merge --squash --no-commit' would result in a squashed merge (i.e. no
$GIT_DIR/MERGE_HEAD was created) but with this patch the command will
behave as if --squash hadn't been specified.

85682c1903 Correct handling of branch.$name.merge in builtin-fetch
My prior bug fix for git-push titled "Don't configure remote "." to
fetch everything to itself" actually broke t5520 as we were unable
to evaluate a branch configuration of:

  [branch "copy"]
    remote = .
    merge = refs/heads/master

as remote "." did not have a "remote...fetch" configuration entry to
offer up refs/heads/master as a possible candidate available to be
fetched and merged.  In shell script git-fetch and prior to the above
mentioned commit this was hardcoded for a url of "." to be the set of
local branches.

Chasing down this bug led me to the conclusion that our prior behavior
with regards to branch.$name.merge was incorrect.  In the shell script
based git-fetch implementation we only fetched and merged a branch if
it appeared both in branch.$name.merge *and* in remote.$r.fetch, where
$r = branch.$name.remote.  In other words in the following config file:

  [remote "origin"]
    url = git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git
    fetch = refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/master
  [branch "master"]
    remote = origin
    merge = refs/heads/master
  [branch "pu"]
    remote = origin
    merge = refs/heads/pu

Attempting to run `git pull` while on branch "pu" would always give
the user "Already up-to-date" as git-fetch did not fetch pu and thus
did not mark it for merge in .git/FETCH_HEAD.  The configured merge
would always be ignored and the user would be left scratching her
confused head wondering why merge did not work on "pu" but worked
fine on "master".

If we are using the "default fetch" specification for the current
branch and the current branch has a branch.$name.merge configured
we now union it with the list of refs in remote.$r.fetch.  This
way the above configuration does what the user expects it to do,
which is to fetch only "master" by default but when on "pu" to
fetch both "master" and "pu".

This uncovered some breakage in the test suite where old-style Cogito
branches (.git/branches/$r) did not fetch the branches listed in
.git/config for merging and thus did not actually merge them if the
user tried to use `git pull` on that branch.  Junio and I discussed
it on list and felt that the union approach here makes more sense to
DWIM for the end-user than silently ignoring their configured request
so the test vectors for t5515 have been updated to include for-merge
lines in .git/FETCH_HEAD where they have been configured for-merge
in .git/config.

Since we are now performing a union of the fetch specification and
the merge specification and we cannot allow a branch to be listed
twice (otherwise it comes out twice in .git/FETCH_HEAD) we need to
perform a double loop here over all of the branch.$name.merge lines
and try to set their merge flag if we have already schedule that
branch for fetching by remote.$r.fetch.  If no match is found then
we must add new specifications to fetch the branch but not store it
as no local tracking branch has been designated.

d8b3a2bf18 Don't attempt to merge non-existant remotes in t5515
This was actually reverted in 756373da by Junio.  We no longer
support merging the right hand side of a fetchspec in a branch's
branch.$name.merge configuration setting as we interpret these
names as being only those published by the remote we are going to
fetch from.

The older shell based implementation of git-fetch did not report an
error when branch.$name.merge was referencing a branch that does
not exist on the remote and we are running `git fetch` for the
current branch.  The new builtin-fetch does notice this failure
and aborts the fetch, thus breaking the tests.

Junio and I kicked it around on #git earlier today and decided that
the best approach here is to error out and tell the user that their
configuration is wrong, as this is likely more user friendly than
silently ignoring the user's request.  Since the new builtin-fetch
is already issuing the error there is no code change required, we
just need to remove the bad configuration from our test.

b888d61c83 Make fetch a builtin
Thanks to Johannes Schindelin for review and fixes, and Julian
Phillips for the original C translation.

This changes a few small bits of behavior:

branch.<name>.merge is parsed as if it were the lhs of a fetch
refspec, and does not have to exactly match the actual lhs of a
refspec, so long as it is a valid abbreviation for the same ref.

branch.<name>.merge is no longer ignored if the remote is configured
with a branches/* file. Neither behavior is useful, because there can
only be one ref that gets fetched, but this is more consistant.

Also, fetch prints different information to standard out.

5c633a4cbe git-push: documentation and tests for pushing only branches
Commit 098e711e caused git-push to match only branches when
considering which refs to push. This patch updates the
documentation accordingly and adds a test for this behavior.

cba8d48961 git-commit: partial commit of paths only removed from the index
Because a partial commit is meant to be a way to ignore what are
staged in the index, "git rm --cached A && git commit A" should
just record what is in A on the filesystem.  The previous patch
made the command sequence to barf, saying that A has not been
added yet.  This fixes it.

64586e75af git-commit: Allow partial commit of file removal.
When making a partial commit, git-commit uses git-ls-files with
the --error-unmatch option to expand and sanity check the user
supplied path patterns.  When any path pattern does not match
with the paths known to the index, it errors out, in order to
catch a common mistake to say "git commit Makefiel cache.h"
and end up with a commit that touches only cache.h (notice the
misspelled "Makefile").  This detection however does not work
well when the path has already been removed from the index.

If you drop a path from the index and try to commit that
partially, i.e.

	$ git rm COPYING
	$ git commit -m 'Remove COPYING' COPYING

the command complains because git does not know anything about
COPYING anymore.

This introduces a new option --with-tree to git-ls-files and
uses it in git-commit when we build a temporary index to
write a tree object for the partial commit.

When --with-tree=<tree-ish> option is specified, names from the
given tree are added to the set of names the index knows about,
so we can treat COPYING file in the example as known.

Of course, there is no reason to use "git rm" and git-aware
people have long time done:

	$ rm COPYING
	$ git commit -m 'Remove COPYING' COPYING

which works just fine.  But this caused a constant confusion.

ece7b74903 apply --index-info: fall back to current index for mode changes
"git diff" does not record index lines for pure mode changes (i.e. no
lines changed).  Therefore, apply --index-info would call out a bogus
error.

Instead, fall back to reading the info from the current index.

Incidentally, this fixes an error where git-rebase would not rebase a
commit including a pure mode change, and changes requiring a threeway
merge.

Noticed and later tested by Chris Shoemaker.

023756f4eb revision walker: --cherry-pick is a limited operation
We used to rely on the fact that cherry-pick would trigger the code path
to set limited = 1 in handle_commit(), when an uninteresting commit was
encountered.

However, when cherry picking between two independent branches, i.e. when
there are no merge bases, and there is only linear development (which can
happen when you cvsimport a fork of a project), no uninteresting commit
will be encountered.

So set limited = 1 when --cherry-pick was asked for.

Noticed by Martin Bähr.
