Introduce GIT_PS1_DESCRIBE option you can set to "contains", "branch", or
"describe" to tweak the way how a detached HEAD is described.
The default behaviour is to describe only exact match with some tag
(otherwise use the first 7 hexdigits) as before.

As I very often work on a detached HEAD, I found it pretty confusing
when __git_ps1() said 'some-name'. Did I create a branch with that name
by mistake, or do I happen to be on a commit with that exact tag?
This patch fixes the issue by enclosing non branch names in a pair of
parentheses when used to substitute %s token in __git_ps1() argument.
It also fixes a small bug where the branch part is left empty when
.git/HEAD is unreadable for whatever reason. The output now says
"(unknown)".

If your merge stops in a conflict while on a detached HEAD, recent
completion code fails to show anything. This was because various cases
added to support the operation-in-progress markers (e.g. REBASE, MERGING)
forgot that they need to set the variable "b" to something for the result
they computed to be displayed at all.
Probably not many people make trial merges on a detached HEAD (which is
tremendously useful feature of git, by the way), and that may be why this
was not noticed for a long time.

Previously, checkout would tell the user this message before moving HEAD,
without regard to whether the upcoming move will result in success.
If the move failed, this causes confusion.
Show the message after the move, unless the move failed.

The logic in 83ae209 (checkout branch: prime cache-tree fully,
2009-04-20) is bogus; checkout can switch branches with a dirty
index and in such a case the tree won't match HEAD.
Add t2014-switch to catch this breakage.

POSIX only requires sed to work on text files and MERGE_RR is not a text

terminated, and exit non-zero. Use perl instead which does not have a

These two lines appear to be unnecessary. They set variables which are not
used afterwards. The primary motivation to remove them is that the sed
invocation exits non-zero for seds which require newline termination of
input files.

Some versions of sed exit non-zero if the file they are supplied is not
newline terminated. Solaris's /usr/xpg4/bin/sed is one such sed. So
rework this test to avoid doing so.
This affects tests t8001-annotate.sh and t8002-blame.sh.

Some versions of sed exit non-zero if the file they are supplied is not
newline terminated. Solaris's /usr/xpg4/bin/sed is one such sed. In
this case the sed invocation can be avoided entirely since the resulting
file is equivalent to a previously created file. So, just copy that file
into place instead.
