This is to resolve conflicts early in preparation for possible
inclusion of "reflog on detached HEAD" series by Nico, as having
it in 1.5.0 would really help us remove confusion between
detached and attached states.

Even when -l is not given from the command line, the repository
may have the configuration variable core.logallrefupdates set,
or an old-timer might have done ": >.git/logs/refs/heads/new"
before running "git branch new". In these cases, the code gave
an uninitialized msg[] from the stack to be written out as the
reflog message.
This also passes a different message when '-f' option is used.
Saying "git branch -f branch some-commit" is a moral equilvalent
of doing "git-reset some-commit" while on the branch.

Back when only handful commands that created commit and tag were
the only users of committer identity information, it made sense
to explicitly call setup_ident() to pre-fill the default value
from the gecos information. But it is much simpler for programs
to make the call automatic when get_ident() is called these days,
since many more programs want to use the information when updating
the reflog.

This allows "git checkout v1.4.3" to dissociate the HEAD of
repository from any branch. After this point, "git branch"
starts reporting that you are not on any branch. You can go
back to an existing branch by saying "git checkout master", for
example.
This is still experimental. While I think it makes sense to
allow commits on top of detached HEAD, it is rather dangerous
unless you are careful in the current form. Next "git checkout
master" will obviously lose what you have done, so we might want
to require "git checkout -f" out of a detached HEAD if we find
that the HEAD commit is not an ancestor of any other branches.
There is no such safety valve implemented right now.
On the other hand, the reason the user did not start the ad-hoc
work on a new branch with "git checkout -b" was probably because
the work was of a throw-away nature, so the convenience of not
having that safety valve might be even better. The user, after
accumulating some commits on top of a detached HEAD, can always
create a new branch with "git checkout -b" not to lose useful
work done while the HEAD was detached.
We'll see.

Style copied from color.status and meanings derived from the code.
Moved the color meanings from color.diff.<slot> to color.branch.<slot>
since the latter comes first alphabetically.

This is a mechanical clean-up of the way *.c files include
system header files.
(1) sources under compat/, platform sha-1 implementations, and
xdelta code are exempt from the following rules;
(2) the first #include must be "git-compat-util.h" or one of
our own header file that includes it first (e.g. config.h,
builtin.h, pkt-line.h);
(3) system headers that are included in "git-compat-util.h"
need not be included in individual C source files.
(4) "git-compat-util.h" does not have to include subsystem
specific header files (e.g. expat.h).

If there are more than one branches to be deleted, failure on
one will no longer stop git-branch to process the next ones.
The command still reports failures by exitting non-zero status.

Because -r already means "remote" when listing, you can say:
$ git branch -d -r origin/todo origin/html origin/man
I just twisted it not to check fast-forwardness with the current
branch when you are removing a tracking branch. Most likely,
removal of a tracking branch is not because you are "done with"
it (for a local branch, it usually means "you merged it up"),
but because you are not even interested in it. In other words,
remote tracking branches are more like tags than branches.

Showing local and remote branches in green and red was simply
overkill, as all we wanted was to make it easy to tell them
apart (local ones can be built on top by committing, but the
remote tracking ones can't).
Use plain coloring for local branches and paint remotes in red.

I wanted to have a visual indication of which branches are local and
which are remote in git-branch -a output; however Junio was concerned
that someone might be using the output in a script. This patch
addresses the problem by colouring the git-branch output - which in
"auto" mode won't be activated.
I've based it off the colouring code for builtin-diff.c; which means
there is a branch color configuration variable that needs setting to
something before the color will appear.
The colour parameter is "color.branch" rather than "branch.color" to
avoid clashing with the default namespace for default branch merge
definitions.
This patch chooses green for local, red for remote and bold green for
current.

setup_ident() before any logmessages are written.

Extend git-branch with the following options:
git-branch -m|-M [<oldbranch>] newbranch
The -M variation is required to force renaming over an exsisting
branchname.
This also indroduces $GIT_DIR/RENAME_REF which is a "metabranch"
used when renaming branches. It will always hold the original sha1
for the latest renamed branch.
Additionally, if $GIT_DIR/logs/RENAME_REF exists, all branch rename
events are logged there.
Finally, some testcases are added to verify the new options.

This makes "git branch -D other_branch" work even when HEAD
points at a yet-to-be-born branch.
Earlier, we checked the HEAD ref for the purpose of "subset"
check even when the deletion was forced (i.e. not -d but -D).
Because of this, you cannot delete a branch even with -D while
on a yet-to-be-born branch.
With this change, the following sequence that now works:
mkdir newdir && cd newdir
git init-db
git fetch -k $other_repo refs/heads/master:refs/heads/othre
# oops, typo
git branch other othre
git branch -D othre

Instead of storing a list of refnames in append_ref, a list of
structures is created. Each of these stores the refname and a
symbolic constant representing its type.
The creation of the list is filtered based on a command line
switch; no switch means "local branches only", "-r" means "remote
branches only" (as they always did); but now "-a" means "local
branches or remote branches".
As a side effect, the list is now not global, but allocated in
print_ref_list() where it used.
Also a memory leak is plugged, the memory allocated during the
list creation was never freed.
It lays a groundwork to also display tags, but the command being
'git branch' it is not currently used.
