The grafts feature was a convenient way to "stitch together" ancient
history to the fresh start of linux.git.
Its implementation is, however, not up to Git's standards, as there are
too many ways where it can lead to surprising and unwelcome behavior.
For example, when pushing from a repository with active grafts, it is
possible to miss commits that have been "grafted out", resulting in a
broken state on the other side.
Also, the grafts feature is limited to "rewriting" commits' list of
parents, it cannot replace anything else.
The much younger feature implemented as `git replace` set out to remedy
those limitations and dangerous bugs.
Seeing as `git replace` is pretty mature by now (since 4228e8bc98
(replace: add --graft option, 2014-07-19) it can perform the graft
file's duties), it is time to deprecate support for the graft file, and
to retire it eventually.

The topic appears to inflict severe regression in renaming merges,
even though the promise of it was that it would improve them.
We do not yet know which exact change in the topic was wrong, but in
the meantime, let's play it safe and revert it out of 'master'

In 0b294c0abf (make deleting a missing ref more quiet, 2008-07-08), we
added a test to verify that deleting an already-deleted ref does not
show an error.
Our test simply looks for the substring 'error' in the output of the
`git push`, which might look innocuous on the face of it.
Suppose, however, that you are a big fan of whales. Or even better: your
IT administrator has a whale of a time picking cute user names, e.g.
referring to you (due to your like of India Pale Ales) as "one of the
cuter rorquals" (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rorqual to learn a
thing or two about rorquals) and hence your home directory becomes
/home/cuterrorqual. If you now run t5404, it fails! Why? Because the
test calls `git push origin :b3` which outputs:
To /home/cuterrorqual/git/t/trash directory.t5404-tracking-branches/.
- [deleted] b3
Note how there is no error displayed in that output? But of course
"error" is a substring of "cuterrorqual". And so that `grep error
output` finds something.
This bug was not, actually, caught having "error" as a substring of the
user name but while working in a worktree called "colorize-push-errors",
whose name was part of that output, too, suggesting that not even
testing for the *word* `error` via `git grep -w error output` would fix
the underlying issue.
This patch chooses instead to look for the prefix "error:" at the
beginning of the line, so that there can be no ambiguity that any catch
was indeed a message generated by Git's `error_builtin()` function.

Commit 8894d53580 (commit: allow partial commits with relative paths,

prefix argument to 'pathspec_prefix' removed and the 'list_paths'

It's possible to have libcurl installed but not the curl
command-line utility. The latter is not generally needed for
Git's http support, but we use it in t5561 for basic tests
of http-backend's functionality. Let's detect when it's
missing and skip this test.
Note that we can't mark the individual tests with the CURL
prerequisite. They're in a shared t556x_common that uses the
GET and POST functions as a level of indirection, and it's
only our implementations of those functions in t5561 that
requires curl. It's not a problem, though, as literally
every test in the script would depend on the prerequisite
anyway.

Following a rename of worktree "source" to "destination", the "move
worktree" test uses grep to verify that the output of "git worktree list
--porcelain" does not contain "source" (and does contain "destination").
Unfortunately, the grep expression is too loose and can match
unexpectedly. For example, if component of the test trash directory path
matches "source" (e.g. "/home/me/sources/git/t/trash*"), then the test
will be fooled into thinking that "source" still exists. Tighten the
expression to avoid such accidental matches.
While at it, drop an unused variable ("toplevel") from the test and
tighten a similarly too-loose expression in a related test.

Commit f57f37e2e1 (files-backend: remove the use of
git_path(), 2017-03-26) introduced a regression when a
relative $GIT_DIR is used in a working tree:
- when we initialize the ref backend, we make a copy of
get_git_dir(), which may be relative
- later, we may call setup_work_tree() and chdir to the
root of the working tree
- further calls to the ref code will use the stored git
directory, but relative paths will now point to the
wrong place
The new test in t1501 demonstrates one such instance (the
bug causes us to write the ref update to the nonsense
"relative/relative/.git").
Since setup_work_tree() now uses chdir_notify, we can just
ask it update our relative paths when necessary.

rebase --merge accepts --keep-empty but just ignores it, by using an
implicit interactive rebase the user still gets the rename detection
of a merge based rebase but with with --keep-empty support.
If rebase --keep-empty without --interactive or --merge stops for the
user to resolve merge conflicts then 'git rebase --continue' will
fail. This is because it uses a different code path that does not
create $git_dir/rebase-apply. As rebase --keep-empty was implemented
using cherry-pick it has never supported the am options and now that
interactive rebases support --signoff there is no loss of

regressions.
This new option makes it easy to spot such possible regressions.
This new option is named '--sort-by=regression' to make it
possible and easy to add other ways to sort the results, like for
example '--sort-by=utime'.
If we would like to sort according to how much the stime regressed
we could also add a new option called '--sort-by=regression:stime'.
