If an --author argument is specified but does not contain a '>' then git tries
to find the argument within the existing authors; and gives the error
message "No existing author found with '%s'" if there is no match.
This is confusing for users who try to specify a valid complete author
name.
Rename the error message to make it clearer that the failure has two
reasons in this case.
(This codepath is touched only when we know already that the argument
cannot be a completely wellformed author ident.)

4fe10219 (rev-list: add --indexed-objects option, 2014-10-16) adds
"--indexed-objects" option to "rev-list", and it is only useful in
the context of "git rev-list" and not "git log". There are other
object traversal options that do not make sense for "git log" that
are shown in the manual page.
Move the description of "--indexed-objects" to the object traversal
section so that it sits together with its friends "--objects",
"--objects-edge", etc. and then show them only in "git rev-list"
documentation.

If you use git-p4 with the "--prepare-p4-only" option, then
it prints the p4 command line to use. However, the command
line was incorrect: the changelist specification must be
supplied on standard input, not as an argument to p4.

The list_and_choose() helper is given a prompt and a list, asks the
user to make selection from the list, and then returns a list of
items chosen. Even when it is given an empty list as the original
candidate set to choose from, it gave a prompt to the user, who can
only say "I am done choosing".
Return an empty result when the input is an empty list without
bothering the user. The existing caller must already have a logic
to say "Nothing to do" or an equivalent when the returned list is
empty (i.e. the user chose to select nothing) if it is necessary, so
no change to the callers is necessary.
This fixes the case where "add untracked" is asked in "git add -i"
and there is no untracked files in the working tree. We used to give
an empty list of files to choose from with a prompt, but with this
change, we no longer do.

Under --whitespace=fix option, match_fragment() function examines
the preimage (the common context and the removed lines in the patch)
and the file being patched and checks if they match after correcting
all whitespace errors. When they are found to match, the common
context lines in the preimage is replaced with the fixed copy,
because these lines will then be copied to the corresponding place
in the postimage by a later call to update_pre_post_images(). Lines
that are added in the postimage, under --whitespace=fix, have their
whitespace errors already fixed when apply_one_fragment() prepares
the preimage and the postimage, so in the end, application of the
patch can be done by replacing the block of text in the file being
patched that matched the preimage with what is in the postimage that
was updated by update_pre_post_images().
In the earlier days, fixing whitespace errors always resulted in
reduction of size, either collapsing runs of spaces in the indent to
a tab or removing the trailing whitespaces. These days, however,
some whitespace error fix results in extending the size.
250b3c6c (apply --whitespace=fix: avoid running over the postimage
buffer, 2013-03-22) tried to compute the final postimage size but
its math was flawed. It counted the size of the block of text in
the original being patched after fixing the whitespace errors on its
lines that correspond to the preimage. That number does not have
much to do with how big the final postimage would be.
Instead count (1) the added lines in the postimage, whose size is
the same as in the final patch result because their whitespace
errors have already been corrected, and (2) the fixed size of the
lines that are common.

"git apply --whitespace=fix" used to be able to assume that fixing
errors will always reduce the size by e.g. stripping whitespaces at
the end of lines or collapsing runs of spaces into tabs at the
beginning of lines. An update to accomodate fixes that lengthens
the result by e.g. expanding leading tabs into spaces were made long
time ago but the logic miscounted the necessary space after such
whitespace fixes, leading to either under-allocation or over-usage
of already allocated space.
Illustrate this with a runtime sanity-check to protect us from
future breakage. The test was stolen from Kyle McKay who helped
to identify the problem.

In earlier days, the abbreviated commit object name shown to the end
users were generated with hardcoded --abbrev=7; 56895038 (rebase
-i: respect core.abbrev, 2013-09-28) tried to make it honor the user
specified core.abbrev, but it missed the very initial invocation of
the editor.
These days, we try to use the full 40-hex object names internally to
avoid ambiguity that can arise after rebase starts running. Newly
created objects during the rebase may share the same prefix with
existing commits listed in the insn sheet. These object names are
shortened just before invoking the sequence editor to present the
insn sheet to the end user, and then expanded back to full object
names when the editor returns.
But the code still used the shortened names when preparing the insn
sheet for the very first time, resulting "7 hexdigits or more"
output to the user. Change the code to use full 40-hex commit
object names from the very beginning to make things more uniform.

A typical remote helper will return a `list` of refs containing a symbolic
ref HEAD, pointing to, e.g. refs/heads/master. In the case of a clone, all
the refs are being requested through `fetch` or `import`, including the
symbolic ref.
While this works properly, in some cases of a fetch, like `git fetch url`
or `git fetch origin HEAD`, or any fetch command involving a symbolic ref
without also fetching the corresponding ref it points to, the fetch command
fails with:
fatal: bad object 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000
error: <remote> did not send all necessary objects
(in the case the remote helper returned '?' values to the `list` command).
This is because there is only one ref given to fetch(), and it's not
further resolved to something at the end of fetch_with_import().
While this can be somehow handled in the remote helper itself, by adding
a refspec for the symbolic ref, and storing an explicit ref in a private
namespace, and then handling the `import` for that symbolic ref
specifically, very few existing remote helpers are actually doing that.
So, instead of requesting the exact list of wanted refs to remote helpers,
treat symbolic refs differently and request the ref they point to instead.
Then, resolve the symbolic refs values based on the pointed ref.
This assumes there is no more than one level of indirection (a symbolic
ref doesn't point to another symbolic ref).

Further, it was unclear what "When omitted, defaults to 'medium'"

or is it "When --pretty is given without =<something>"? Clarify

Even though "advice.h" includes "git-compat-util.h", it is not
sensible to have it as the first #include and indirectly satisify
the "You must give git-compat-util.h a clean environment to set up
feature test macros before including any of the system headers are
included", which is the real requirement.
Because:
- A command that interacts with the object store, config subsystem,
the index, or the working tree cannot do anything without using
what is declared in "cache.h";
- A built-in command must be declared in "builtin.h", so anything
in builtin/*.c must include it;
- These two headers both include "git-compat-util.h" as the first
thing; and
- Almost all our *.c files (outside compat/ and borrowed files in
xdiff/) need some Git-ness from "cache.h" to do something
Git-ish.
let's explicitly specify that one of these three header files must
be the first thing that is included.
Any of our *.c file should include the header file that directly
declares what it uses, instead of relying on the fact that some *.h
file it includes happens to include another *.h file that declares
the necessary function or type. Spell it out as another guideline
item.
