When reviewing a change that also updates a submodule in Gerrit, a
common review practice is to download and cherry-pick the patch
locally to test it. However when testing it locally, the 'git
submodule update' may fail fetching the correct submodule sha1 as
the corresponding commit in the submodule is not yet part of the
project history, but also just a proposed change.
If $sha1 was not part of the default fetch, we try to fetch the $sha1
directly. Some servers however do not support direct fetch by sha1,
which leads git-fetch to fail quickly. We can fail ourselves here as
the still missing sha1 would lead to a failure later in the checkout
stage anyway, so failing here is as good as we can get.

Paths that have been told the index about with "add -N" are not
quite yet in the index, but a few commands behaved as if they
already are in a harmful way.
* nd/ita-cleanup:
grep: make it clear i-t-a entries are ignored
add and use a convenience macro ce_intent_to_add()
blame: remove obsolete comment
The documentation for "git clean" has been corrected; it mentioned
that .git/modules/* are removed by giving two "-f", which has never
been the case.
* mm/clean-doc-fix:
Documentation/git-clean.txt: don't mention deletion of .git/modules/*
The vimdiff backend for "git mergetool" has been tweaked to arrange
and number buffers in the order that would match the expectation of
majority of people who read left to right, then top down and assign
buffers 1 2 3 4 "mentally" to local base remote merge windows based
on that order.

mergetool: reorder vim/gvim buffers in three-way diffs
The emulated "yes" command used in our test scripts has been
tweaked not to spend too much time generating unnecessary output
that is not used, to help those who test on Windows where it would
not stop until it fills the pipe buffer due to lack of SIGPIPE.
* js/test-lib-windows-emulated-yes:
test-lib: limit the output of the yes utility
"git push --force-with-lease" has been taught to report if the push
needed to force (or fast-forwarded).

push: fix ref status reporting for --force-with-lease
"git worktree" had a broken code that attempted to auto-fix
possible inconsistency that results from end-users moving a
worktree to different places without telling Git (the original
repository needs to maintain backpointers to its worktrees, but
"mv" run by end-users who are not familiar with that fact will
obviously not adjust them), which actually made things worse
when triggered.
* nd/do-not-move-worktree-manually:
worktree: stop supporting moving worktrees manually
worktree.c: fix indentation
The low-level merge machinery has been taught to use CRLF line
termination when inserting conflict markers to merged contents that
are themselves CRLF line-terminated.
* js/xmerge-marker-eol:
merge-file: ensure that conflict sections match eol style
merge-file: let conflict markers match end-of-line style of the context
When invoking default (g)vimdiff three-way merge, the merged file is
loaded as the first buffer but moved to the bottom as the fourth window.
This causes a disconnect between vim commands that operate on window
positions (e.g. CTRL-W_w) and those that operate on buffer index (e.g.
do/dp).
This change reorders the buffers to have the same index as windows while
keeping the cursor default to the merged result as the bottom window.

Asking gitweb for a nonexistent commit left a warning in the server

Some codepaths used fopen(3) when opening a fixed path in $GIT_DIR
(e.g. COMMIT_EDITMSG) that is meant to be left after the command is
done. This however did not work well if the repository is set to
be shared with core.sharedRepository and the umask of the previous

unlink(2) and retrying after fopen(3) fails with EPERM.

On Windows, there is no SIGPIPE. A consequence of this is that the
upstream process of a pipe does not notice the death of the downstream
process until the pipe buffer is full and writing more data returns an
error. This behavior is the reason for an annoying delay during the
execution of t7610-mergetool.sh: There are a number of test cases where
'yes' is invoked upstream. Since the utility is basically an endless
loop it runs, on Windows, until the pipe buffer is full. This does take
a few seconds.
The test suite has its own implementation of 'yes'. Modify it to produce
only a limited amount of output that is sufficient for the test suite.
The amount chosen should be sufficiently high for any test case, assuming
that future test cases will not exaggerate their demands of input from
an upstream 'yes' invocation.

The --force--with-lease push option leads to less
detailed status information than --force. In particular,
the output indicates that a reference was fast-forwarded,
even when it was force-updated.
Modify the --force-with-lease ref status logic to leverage
the --force ref status logic when the "lease" conditions
are met.
Also, enhance tests to validate output status reporting.

In the previous patch, we made sure that the conflict markers themselves
match the end-of-line style of the input files. However, this still left
out the conflicting text itself: if it lacks a trailing newline, we
add one, and should add a carriage return when appropriate, too.

When merging files with CR/LF line endings, the conflict markers should
match those, lest the output file has mixed line endings.
This is particularly of interest on Windows, where some editors get
*really* confused by mixed line endings.
The original version of this patch by Beat Bolli respected core.eol, and
a subsequent improvement by this developer also respected gitattributes.
This approach was suboptimal, though: `git merge-file` was invented as a
drop-in replacement for GNU merge and as such has no problem operating
outside of any repository at all!
Another problem with the original approach was pointed out by Junio
Hamano: legacy repositories might have their text files committed using
CR/LF line endings (and core.eol and the gitattributes would give us a
false impression there). Therefore, the much superior approach is to
simply match the context's line endings, if any.
We actually do not have to look at the *entire* context at all: if the
files are all LF-only, or if they all have CR/LF line endings, it is
sufficient to look at just a *single* line to match that style. And if
the line endings are mixed anyway, it is *still* okay to imitate just a
single line's eol: we will just add to the pile of mixed line endings,
and there is nothing we can do about that.
So what we do is: we look at the line preceding the conflict, falling
back to the line preceding that in case it was the last line and had no
line ending, falling back to the first line, first in the first
post-image, then the second post-image, and finally the pre-image.
If we find consistent CR/LF (or undecided) end-of-line style, we match
that, otherwise we use LF-only line endings for the conflict markers.
Note that while it is true that there have to be at least two lines we
can look at (otherwise there would be no conflict), the same is not true
for line *endings*: the three files in question could all consist of a
single line without any line ending, each. In this case we fall back to
using LF-only.
