* 'jk/ui-color-always-to-auto-maint' (early part):
color: make "always" the same as "auto" in config
provide --color option for all ref-filter users
t3205: use --color instead of color.branch=always
t3203: drop "always" color test
t6006: drop "always" color config tests
t7502: use diff.noprefix for --verbose test
t7508: use test_terminal for color output
t3701: use test-terminal to collect color output
t4015: prefer --color to -c color.diff=always
test-terminal: set TERM=vt100
A recently added "--color-moved" feature of "diff" fell into
infinite loop when ignoring whitespace changes, which has been
fixed.
* sb/diff-color-move:
diff: fix infinite loop with --color-moved --ignore-space-change
When columns are set to automatic for git tag and the output is
paginated by git, the output is a single column instead of multiple
columns.
Standard behaviour in git is to honor auto values when the pager is
active, which happens for example with commands like git log showing
colors when being paged.
Since ff1e72483 (tag: change default of `pager.tag` to "on",
2017-08-02), the pager has been enabled by default, exposing this
problem to more people.
finalize_colopts in column.c only checks whether the output is a TTY to
determine if columns should be enabled with columns set to auto. Also
check if the pager is active.
Adding a test for git column is possible but requires some care to work
around a race on stdin. See commit 18d8c2693 (test_terminal: redirect
child process' stdin to a pty, 2015-08-04). Test git tag instead, since
that does not involve stdin, and since that was the original motivation
for this patch.

The --color-moved code uses next_byte() to advance through
the blob contents. When the user has asked to ignore
whitespace changes, we try to collapse any whitespace change
down to a single space.
However, we enter the conditional block whenever we see the
IGNORE_WHITESPACE_CHANGE flag, even if the next byte isn't
whitespace.
This means that the combination of "--color-moved and
--ignore-space-change" was completely broken. Worse, because
we return from next_byte() without having advanced our
pointer, the function makes no forward progress in the
buffer and loops infinitely.
Fix this by entering the conditional only when we actually
see whitespace. We can apply this also to the
IGNORE_WHITESPACE change. That code path isn't buggy
(because it falls through to returning the next
non-whitespace byte), but it makes the logic more clear if
we only bother to look at whitespace flags after seeing that
the next byte is whitespace.

When the write opertion fails, we write that we could
not read. Change the error message to match the operation
and remove the full stop at the end.
When ftruncate() fails, we write that we couldn't finish
the operation on the todo file. It is more accurate to write
that we couldn't truncate as we do in other calls of ftruncate().

The call to cmd_diff_index() "git merge-ours" makes has been working
by accident that the function did not call exit(3), and the caller
exited almost immediately after making a call, but it sets a bad
precedent for people to cut and paste.
For finding out if the index exactly matches the HEAD (or a given
tree-ish), there is index_differs_from() which is exactly written
for that purpose.

The cmd_foo() function is a moral equivalent of 'main' for a Git
subcommand 'git foo', and as such, it is allowed to do many things
that make it unsuitable to be called as a subroutine, including
- call exit(3) to terminate the process;
- allocate resource held and used throughout its lifetime, without
releasing it upon return/exit;
- rely on global variables being initialized at program startup,
and update them as needed, making another clean invocation of the
function impossible.
The call to cmd_diff_index() "git describe" makes has been working
by accident that the function did not call exit(3); it sets a bad
precedent for people to cut and paste.
We could invoke it via the run_command() interface, but the diff
family of commands have helper functions in diff-lib.c that are
meant to be usable as subroutines, and using the latter does not
make the resulting code all that longer. Use it.
Note that there is also an invocation of cmd_name_rev() at the end;
"git describe --contains" massages its command line arguments to be
suitable for "git name-rev" invocation and jumps to it, never to
regain control. This call is left as-is as an exception to the
rule. When we start to allow calling name-rev repeatedly as a
helper function, we would be able to remove this call as well.

There are "git checkout [-p][<tree-ish>][--][<paths>...]" in the
SYNOPSIS section, and "git checkout [-p][<tree-ish>][--]<paths>..."
as the header for the section that explains the "check out paths
from index/tree-ish" mode. It is unclear if we require at least one
path, or it is entirely optional.
Actually, both are wrong. Without the "-p(atch)" option, you must
have <pathspec> (otherwise, with a commit that is a <tree-ish>, you
would be checking out that commit to build a new history on top of
it). With it, it is already clear that you are checking out paths,
it is optional. In other words, you cannot omit both.
The source of the confusion is that -p(atch) is described as if it
is just another "optional" part and its description is lumped
together with the non patch mode, even though the actual end user
experience is vastly different.
Let's split the entry into two, and describe the regular mode and
the patch mode separately. This allows us to make it clear that the
regular mode MUST be given at least one pathspec, that the patch
mode can be invoked with either '-p' or '--patch' but one of these
must be given, and that the pathspec is entirely optional in the
patch mode.
Also, revamp the explanation of "checkout paths" by removing
extraneous description at the beginning, that says "checking out
paths is not checking out a branch". Explaining what it is for and
when the user wants to use it upfront is the most direct way to help
the readers.

The write_entry() function switches on the mode of the entry
we're going to write out. The cases for S_IFLNK and S_IFREG
are lumped together. In earlier versions of the code, this
made some sense. They have a shared preamble (which reads
the blob content), a short type-specific body, and a shared
conclusion (which writes out the file contents; always for
S_IFREG and only sometimes for S_IFLNK).
But over time this has grown to make less sense. The preamble
now has conditional bits for each type, and the S_IFREG body
has grown a lot more complicated. It's hard to follow the
logic of which code is running for which mode.
Let's give each mode its own case arm. We will still share
the conclusion code, which means we now jump to it with a
goto. Ideally we'd pull that shared code into its own
function, but it touches so much internal state in the
write_entry() function that the end result is actually
harder to follow than the goto.
While we're here, we'll touch up a few bits of whitespace to
make the beginning and endings of the cases easier to read.

When retrying a delayed filter-process request, we don't
need to send the blob to the filter a second time. However,
we read it unconditionally into a buffer, only to later
throw away that buffer. We can make this more efficient by
skipping the read in the first place when it isn't
necessary.

When write_entry() retries a delayed filter request, we
don't need to send the blob content to the filter again, and
set the pointer to NULL. But doing so means we leak the
contents we read earlier from read_blob_entry(). Let's make
sure to free it before dropping the pointer.

A common mistake when writing binary search is to allow possible
integer overflow by using the simple average:
mid = (min + max) / 2;
Instead, use the overflow-safe version:
mid = min + (max - min) / 2;
This translation is safe since the operation occurs inside a loop
conditioned on "min < max". The included changes were found using
the following git grep:
git grep '/ *2;' '*.c'
Making this cleanup will prevent future review friction when a new
binary search is contructed based on existing code.
