The point of rename limiting is to bound the amount of time
we spend figuring out inexact renames. Currently we use a
single value, diff.renamelimit, for all situations. However,
it is probably the case that a user is willing to spend more
time finding renames during a merge than they are while
looking at git-log.
This patch provides a way of setting those values separately
(though for backwards compatibility, merge still falls back
on the diff renamelimit).

Most users should be using git-gc instead of directly
calling prune. For those who really do want more information
on pruning, let's point them at git-fsck, which goes into
slightly more detail on reachability.
And since we're pointing users there, let's make sure
reflogs are mentioned in git-fsck(1).

The command
git svn clone (URL of an empty SVN repo here)
works, creates an empty git repository. I can perform the initial
commit there, but then, "git svn dcommit" says :
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at .../git-svn line 414.
Committing to ...
Unable to determine upstream SVN information from HEAD history
I guess a correct management of the initial commit in git-svn would be
hard to implement, but at least, the error message can be improved.
First step is something like the patch below, and better would be for
"git svn clone" to warn that it won't be able to do much with the
cloned repo.

In get_sha1_basic, we parse a string like
HEAD@{10 seconds ago}:path/to/file
into its constituent ref, reflog date, and path components.
We never actually munge the string itself, but instead keep
offsets into the string with their associated lengths.
When we call approxidate on the contents inside braces,
however, we pass just a string without a length. This means
that approxidate could sometimes look past the closing brace
and (erroneously) interpret the rest of the string as part
of the date.

Since git-remote always uses remote tracking branches, it
should be safe to always force updates of those branches.
I.e., we should generate
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/$remote/*
instead of
fetch = refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/$remote/*

have been lost in the C rewrite.

Previously, a push like:
git push remote src:dst
would go through the following steps:
1. check for an unambiguous 'dst' on the remote; if it
exists, then push to that ref
2. otherwise, check if 'dst' begins with 'refs/'; if it
does, create a new ref
3. otherwise, complain because we don't know where in the
refs hierarchy to put 'dst'
However, in some cases, we can guess about the ref type of
'dst' based on the ref type of 'src'. Specifically, before
complaining we now check:
2.5. if 'src' resolves to a ref starting with refs/heads
or refs/tags, then prepend that to 'dst'
So now this creates a new branch on the remote, whereas it
previously failed with an error message:
git push master:newbranch
Note that, by design, we limit this DWIM behavior only to
source refs which resolve exactly (including symrefs which
resolve to existing refs). We still complain on a partial
destination refspec if the source is a raw sha1, or a ref
expression such as 'master~10'.

This test tried to push into a remote with ambiguous refs in
remotes/$x/master and remotes/$y/master. However, the remote
never actually tells us about the refs/remotes hierarchy, so
we don't even see this ambiguity.
The test happened to pass because we were simply looking for
failure, and the test fails for another reason: the dst
refspec does not exist and does not begin with refs/, making
it invalid.
