- in the push.default entry separate the last paragraph from the

Split a rather heavy-ish "git completion" script out to create a
separate "git prompting" script, to help lazy-autoloading of the
completion part while making prompting part always available.
Teach "git submodule" deal with nested submodule structure where a
module is contained within a module whose origin is specified as a
relative URL to its superproject's origin.
When "--simplify-merges/by-decoration" is given together with
"--first-parent" to "git log", the combination of these options
makes the simplification logic to use in-core commit objects that
haven't been examined for relevance, either producing incorrect
result or taking too long to produce any output. Teach the
simplification logic to ignore commits that the first-parent
traversal logic ignored when both are in effect to work around the
issue.
"git add" allows adding a regular file to the path where a submodule
used to exist, but "git update-index" does not allow an equivalent
operation to Porcelain writers.
Attempt to optimize matching with an exclude pattern with a deep
directory hierarchy by taking the part that specifies leading path
without wildcard literally.
Setting this to a URL prefix instead of a path to a local directory allows
git-help --web to work even when HTML docs aren't locally installed, by
pointing the browser at a copy accessible on the web. For example,
[help]
format = html
htmlpath = http://git-scm.com/docs
will use the publicly available documentation on the git homepage.

The construct used to get the return code was flawed, in that
errors in the &&-chain before the semicolon were not caught. Use
the standard test_expect_code instead.
Set PATH in a subshell instead of relying on the bashism of
setting it just for a single command.
And fix the grep line so it doesn't worry about grep segfaults,
and doesn't fail for i18n issues.

The original t9800 test code has a mix of assorted topics, some
of which are big enough to deserve their own homes.
Interdependencies between the topics make it confusing when
trying to study one in isolation. And it takes so long to run
that debugging an individual test is difficult.
Split out three big chunks of tests into their own files:
t9812-git-p4-wildcards.sh gets the 8 p4 wildcard tests
t9813-git-p4-preserve-users.sh gets the 4 --preserve-user tests
t9814-git-p4-rename.sh gets the 2 copy and rename tests
Test 9800 execution time drops from 29 sec to 9 sec. The
sequential time to run all tests is a slower due to the three
extra p4d startup/shutdown sequences, but the overall parallel
execution time is about the same, at 52 sec.

The p4 program is finicky about making sure the recorded client Root
matches the current working directory. The way it discovers the latter
seems to be to inspect shell variable $PWD. This could involve symlinks,
that while leading to the same place as the client Root, look different,
and cause p4 to fail.
Resolve all client paths using "test-path-utils real_path $path". This
removes ".." and resolves all symlinks.
Discovered while running with --root=/dev/shm, which is a link to
/run/shm.

Running tests at high parallelism on a slow machine, 5 sec is
not enough to wait for p4d to start. Change it to 5 minutes,
adding an environment variable P4D_START_PATIENCE to shrink
that if needed in automated test environments.
Also check if the pid of the p4d that we started is still
around. If not, quit waiting for it immediately.

A path containing a space must be quoted when used as an
argument to either the copy or rename commands (because
unlike other commands, the path is not the final thing on
the line for those commands).
Commit 6280dfdc3b (fast-export: quote paths in output,
2011-08-05) previously attempted to fix fast-export's
quoting by passing all paths through quote_c_style().
However, that function does not consider the space to be a
character which requires quoting, so let's special-case the
space inside print_path(). This will cause space-containing
paths to also be quoted in other commands where such quoting
is not strictly necessary, but it does not hurt to do so.
The test from 6280dfdc3b did not detect this because, while
it does introduce renames in the export stream, it does not
actually turn on rename detection, so they were presented as
pairs of deletions/adds. Using "-M" reveals the bug.

The Cygwin implementation of pread() is not thread-safe since, just
like the emulation provided by compat/pread.c, it uses a sequence of
seek-read-seek calls. In order to avoid failues due to thread-safety
issues, commit b038a61 disables threading when NO_PREAD is defined.
(ie when using the emulation code in compat/pread.c).
We introduce a new build variable, NO_THREAD_SAFE_PREAD, which allows
use to disable the threaded index-pack code on cygwin, in addition to
the above NO_PREAD case.

introduced a bug demonstrated by
git checkout --orphan foo
git checkout --detach
git symbolic-ref HEAD
which gives 'refs/heads/(null)'.
This happens because we strbuf_addf(&branch_ref, "refs/heads/%s",
