4f4a6cb988 apply: register conflicted stages to the index
Now we have all the necessary logic to fall back on three-way merge when
the patch does not cleanly apply, insert the conflicted entries to the
index as appropriate.  This obviously triggers only when the "--index"
option is used.

When we fall back to three-way merge and some of the merges fail, just
like the case where the "--reject" option was specified and we had to
write some "*.rej" files out for unapplicable patches, exit the command
with non-zero status without showing the diffstat and summary.  Otherwise
they would make the list of problematic paths scroll off the display.

cfb6f9acc3 apply: accept -3/--3way command line option
Begin teaching the three-way merge fallback logic "git am -3" uses
to the underlying "git apply".  It only implements the command line
parsing part, and does not do anything interesting yet, other than
making sure that "--reject" and "--3way" are not given together, and
making "--3way" imply "--index".

fafd38299b log-tree: the previous one is still not quite right
The correct output would have NUL after each commit, so "-z --format=%s"
would have a single-liner subject with the line-terminating LF replaced
with NUL, and "-p/--stat -z --format=%s" would have a single-liner subject
with its line-terminating LF, followed by the diff/diffstat in which the
terminating LF of the last line is replaced with NUL, but to be consistent
with what "-p/--stat -z --pretty=format:%s" does, I think it is OK to
append NUL to the diff/diffstat part instead of replacing its last LF with
NUL.

The added test shows the update is still not right for "-p -z --format".

e304aeba20 t5541: test more combinations of --progress
Previously, we tested only that "push --quiet --no-progress"
was silent. However, there are many other combinations that
were not tested:

  1. no options at all (but stderr as a tty)
  2. --no-progress by itself
  3. --quiet by itself
  4. --progress (when stderr not a tty)

These are tested elsewhere for general "push", but it is
important to test them separately for http. It follows a
very different code path than git://, and options must be
relayed across a remote helper to a separate send-pack
process (and in fact cases (1), (2), and (4) have all been
broken just for http at some point in the past).

We can drop the "--quiet --no-progress" test, as it is not
really interesting (it is already handled by testing them
separately in (2) and (3) above).

9d7d446ae9 git p4: submit files with wildcards
There are four wildcard characters in p4.  Files with these
characters can be added to p4 repos using the "-f" option.  They
are stored in %xx notation, and when checked out, p4 converts
them back to normal.

When adding files with wildcards in git, the submit path must
be careful to use the encoded names in some places, and it
must use "-f" to add them.  All other p4 commands that operate
on the client directory expect encoded filenames as arguments.

Support for wildcards in the clone/sync path was added in
084f630 (git-p4: decode p4 wildcard characters, 2011-02-19),
but that change did not handle the submit path.

There was a problem with wildcards in the sync path too.  Commit
084f630 (git-p4: decode p4 wildcard characters, 2011-02-19)
handled files with p4 wildcards that were added or modified in
p4.  Do this for deleted files, and also in branch detection
checks, too.

b6ad6dcc3b git p4: fix writable file after rename or copy
The way rename works is with a "p4 integrate", optionally
followed by a "p4 edit" if the change is not a 100% rename.
Contents are generated by applying a patch, not doing a file
system rename.  Copy is similar.

In this case, p4 does not fix the permissions back to read-only.
Make sure this happens by calling "p4 sync -f".

dc801e71a7 diff --stat: use less columns for change counts
Number of columns required for change counts is now computed based on
the maximum number of changed lines instead of being fixed. This means
that usually a few more columns will be available for the filenames
and the graph.

The graph width logic is also modified to include enough space for
"Bin XXX -> YYY bytes".

If changes to binary files are mixed with changes to text files,
change counts are padded to take at least three columns. And the other
way around, if change counts require more than three columns, then
"Bin"s are padded to align with the change count. This way, the +-
part starts in the same column as "XXX -> YYY" part for binary files.
This makes the graph easier to parse visually thanks to the empty
column. This mimics the layout of diff --stat before this change.

Tests and the tutorial are updated to reflect the new --stat output.
This means either the removal of extra padding and/or the addition of
up to three extra characters to truncated filenames. One test is added
to check the graph alignment when a binary file change and text file
change of more than 999 lines are committed together.

3f8eccbe16 column: add dense layout support
Normally all cells (and in turn columns) share the same width. This
layout mode can waste space because one long item can stretch our all
columns.

With COL_DENSE enabled, column width is calculated indepdendently. All
columns are shrunk to minimum, then it attempts to push cells of the
last row over to the next column with hope that everything still fits
even there's one row less. The process is repeated until the new layout
cannot fit in given width any more, or there's only one row left
(perfect!).

Apparently, this mode consumes more cpu than the old one, but it makes
better use of terminal space. For layouting one or two screens, cpu
usage should not be detectable.

This patch introduces option handling code besides layout modes and
enable/disable to expose this feature as "dense". The feature can be
turned off by specifying "nodense".

b082687cba test-lib: skip test with COLUMNS=1 under mksh
mksh does not allow $COLUMNS to be set below 12.  mksh(1) says that
$COLUMNS is "always set, defaults to 80, unless the value as reported
by stty(1) is non-zero and sane enough". This applies also to setting
it directly for one command:

    $ COLUMNS=10 python -c 'import os; print os.environ["COLUMNS"]'
    98

Add a test prerequisite by checking if we can set COLUMNS=1, to allow
us to skip tests that needs it.

7e29b8254f Add column layout skeleton and git-column
A column option string consists of many token separated by either
a space or a  comma. A token belongs to one of three groups:

 - enabling: always, never and auto
 - layout mode: currently plain (which does not layout at all)
 - other future tuning flags

git-column can be used to pipe output to from a command that wants
column layout, but not to mess with its own output code. Simpler output
code can be changed to use column layout code directly.

46e3581581 t5570: fix forwarding of git-daemon messages via cat
The shell function that starts git-daemon wants to read the first line of
the daemon's stderr to ensure that it started correctly. Subsequent daemon
errors should be redirected to fd 4 (which is the terminal in verbose mode
or /dev/null in quiet mode). To that end the shell script used 'read' to
get the first line of output, and then 'cat &' to forward everything else
in a background process.

The problem is, that 'cat >&4 &' does not produce any output because the
shell redirects a background process's stdin to /dev/null. To have this
command invocation do anything useful, we have to redirect its stdin
explicitly (which overrides the /dev/null redirection).

The shell function connects the daemon's stderr to its consumers via a
FIFO. We cannot just do this:

   read line <git_daemon_output
   cat <git_daemon_output >&4 &

because after the first redirection the pipe is closed and the daemon
could receive SIGPIPE if it writes at the wrong moment. Therefore, we open
the readable end of the FIFO only once on fd 7 in the shell and dup from
there to the stdin of the two consumers.

ref.

By Marc Branchaud
* mb/fetch-call-a-non-branch-a-ref:
  fetch: describe new refs based on where it came from
