The work in progress to enable separate reflog for HEAD will make it
independent from reflog of any branch HEAD might be pointing to. In
the mean time disallow HEAD@{...} until that work is completed. Otherwise
people might get used to the current behavior which makes HEAD@{...} an
alias for <current_branch>@{...} which won't be the case later.

This updates "git-checkout" to report which branch you are
switching to. Especially for people who do not use __git_ps1
from contrib/completion/git-completion.bash this would give a
friendlier feedback of what is going on, and should make the
reminder message much less scary.
Here is a sample session (the prompt tells which branch I am on).
* I have some local modification and realize that the change deserves
to be on its own new topic branch.
[git.git (master)]$ git diff --stat
git-checkout.sh | 10 ++++++++--
1 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)
* So I switch to a new branch. I get a listing of local modifications
and assuring "Switched to a new branch" message.
[git.git (master)]$ git checkout -b jc/checkout
M git-checkout.sh
Switched to a new branch "jc/checkout"
* If I switch back to "master", I get essentially the same.
[git.git (jc/checkout)]$ git checkout master
M git-checkout.sh
Switched to branch "master"
* Detaching head would say which commit I am at and reminds me that
I am not on any branch (not that I would detach my HEAD while keeping
precious local changes around in any real-world workflow -- this is
just a sample session).
[git.git (master)]$ git checkout master^
M git-checkout.sh
Note: you are not on any branch and are at commit "master^"
If you want to create a new branch from this checkout, you may do so
(now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:
git checkout -b <new_branch_name>
* Coming back to an attached state can lose the detached HEAD, so
I get warned and stopped.
[git.git]$ git checkout master
You are not on any branch and switching to branch 'master'
may lose your changes. At this point, you can do one of two things:
(1) Decide it is Ok and say 'git checkout -f master';
(2) Start a new branch from the current commit, by saying
'git checkout -b <branch-name>'.
Leaving your HEAD detached; not switching to branch 'master'.
* Moving around while my HEAD is detached is Ok. I still get the list
of local modifications.
[git.git]$ git checkout master^0
M git-checkout.sh
* The previous step that switched to the tip commit is an obscure but
useful trick. My HEAD is still detached but now it is pointed at by
an existing ref, so I can come back safely.
[git.git]$ git checkout master
M git-checkout.sh
Switched to branch "master"
* And we are back on the "master" branch.
[git.git (master)]$ exit

I am not very happy with trailing whitespaces in the new

Recent commit ae1dffcb28ee89a23f8d2747be65e17c8eab1690 by Junio
changed the way --upload-pack was passed around between clone,
fetch and ls-remote and modified the handling of the command
line parameter parsing.
Unfortunately FreeBSD 6.1 insists that the expression
expr --upload-pack=git-upload-pack : '-[^=]*=\(.*\)'
is illegal, as the --upload-pack option is not supported by their
implementation of expr.
Elsewhere in Git we use z as a leading prefix of both arguments,
ensuring the -- isn't seen by expr.

We used to use lock_any_ref_for_update() because the command
needs to also update HEAD (which is not under refs/, so
lock_ref_sha1() cannot be used). The function however did not
check for refs with illegal characters in them.
Use check_ref_format() to catch malformed refs. For this check,
we specifically do not want to say having less than two levels
in the name is illegal to allow HEAD (and perhaps other special
refs in the future).

I know it's only an example, but having this might save someone else the
trouble of writing an enhanced version for themselves.
It basically does the same job as the old update hook, but with these
differences:
* The recipients list is read from the repository config file from
hooks.mailinglist
* Updating unannotated tags can be allowed by setting
hooks.allowunannotated
* Announcement emails (via annotated tag creation) can be sent to a
different mailing list by setting hooks.announcelist
* Output email is more verbose and generates specific content depending
on whether the ref is a tag, an annotated tag, a branch, or a
tracking branch
* The email is easier to filter; the subject line is prefixed with
[SCM] and a project description pulled from the "description" file
* It catches (and displays differently) branch updates that are
performed with a --force
Obviously, it's nothing that clever - it's the update hook I use on my
repositories but I've tried to keep it general, and tried to make the
output always relevant to the type of update.

I got bitten because in the UK (where one would expect 1970-01-01 00:00
to be UTC 0) some politicians decided to mess around with daylight
savings time from 1968 to 1971; it was permanently BST (+0100). That
means that on my computer the following is true:
$ date --date="1970-01-01 00:00" +"%F %T %z (%Z)"
1970-01-01 00:00:00 +0100 (BST)
This of course means that the --date argument to date is specified in
local time, not UTC. So when the hooks--update script does this:
date=$(date --date="1970-01-01 00:00:00 $ts seconds")
It's actually saying (in my timezone) "1970-01-01 01:00:00 UTC" + $ts.
Clearly this is wrong. The UNIX epoch started at midnight UTC not 1am
UTC.
This leads to the tagged time in hooks--update being shown as one hour
earlier than the true tagged time (in my timezone). The problem would
be worse for other timezones. For a +1300 timezone on 1970-01-01, the
tagged time would be 13 hours earlier. Oops.
The solution is to force the reference time to UTC, which is what this
patch does. In my timezone:
$ date --date="1970-01-01 00:00 +0000" +"%F %T %z (%Z)"
1970-01-01 01:00:00 +0100 (BST)
Much better.
