To find the blob object name given a tree and pathname, we were
incorrectly calling "git ls-tree" with a "--" argument followed
by the pathname of the file we wanted to get.
git ls-tree <TREE> -- --dashed/path/name.c
Unlike many command-line interfaces, the "--" alone does not
symbolize the end of non-option arguments on the command-line.
ls-tree interprets the "--" as a prefix to match against, thus
the entire contents of the --dashed/* hierarchy would be
returned because the "--" matches "--dashed" and every path
under it.
Thanks to Anton Gyllenberg for pointing me toward the
Twisted repository as a real-world example of this case.

Embarrassingly, the common prefix calculation did not work properly, due
to a mistake in the assignment: instead of assigning the dirname of the
current file name, the dirname of the current common prefix needs to
be assigned to common prefix, when the current prefix does not match the
current file name.

On a 32-bit system, the maximum possible size for an object is less than
4GB, while 64-bit systems may cope with larger objects. Due to this
limitation, variables holding object sizes are using an unsigned long
type (32 bits on 32-bit systems, or 64 bits on 64-bit systems).
When large objects are encountered, and/or people play with large delta
depth values, it is possible for the maximum allowed delta size
computation to overflow, especially on a 32-bit system. When this
occurs, surviving result bits may represent a value much smaller than
what it is supposed to be, or even zero. This prevents some objects
from being deltified although they do get deltified when a smaller depth
limit is used. Fix this by always performing a 64-bit multiplication.

When --pickaxe-regex is used, forward past the end of matches instead of
advancing to the byte after their start. This way matches count only
once, even if the regular expression matches their tail -- like in the
fixed-string fork of the code.
E.g.: /.*/ used to count the number of bytes instead of the number of
lines. /aa/ resulted in a count of two in "aaa" instead of one.
Also document the fact that regexec() needs a NUL-terminated string as
its second argument by adding an assert().

The existing text was very vague about what exactly it means
for difference to "contain" a change. This seems to cause
confusion on the mailing list every month or two.
To fix it we:
1. use "introduce or remove an instance of" instead of
"contain"
2. point the user to gitdiffcore(7), which contains a more
complete explanation

The config file is not the only place remotes are defined, and without
consulting .git/remotes and .git/branches, you won't know if "origin" is
configured by the user. Don't give up too early and insult the user with
a wisecrack "Where do you want to fetch from today?"
The only thing the previous patch seems to want to prevent from happening
is a lazy "git fetch/push" that does not say where-from/to to produce an
error message 'origin not found', and we can do that by not letting
add_url_alias() to turn a nickname "origin" literally into a pathname
"origin" without changing the rest of the logic.

"git read-tree A B C..." without the "-m" (merge) option is a way to read
these trees on top of each other to get an overlay of them.
An ancient commit ee6566e (Rewrite read-tree, 2005-09-05) passed the
ADD_CACHE_SKIP_DFCHECK flag when calling add_index_entry() to add the
paths obtained from these trees to the index, but it is an incorrect use
of the flag. The flag is meant to be used by callers who know the
addition of the entry does not introduce a D/F conflict to the index in
order to avoid the overhead of checking.
This bug resulted in a bogus index that records both "x" and "x/z" as a
blob after reading three trees that have paths ("x"), ("x", "y"), and
("x/z", "y") respectively. 34110cd (Make 'unpack_trees()' have a separate
source and destination index, 2008-03-06) refactored the callsites of
add_index_entry() incorrectly and added more codepaths that use this flag
when it shouldn't be used.
Also, 0190457 (Move 'unpack_trees()' over to 'traverse_trees()' interface,
2008-03-05) introduced a bug to call add_index_entry() for the tree that
does not have the path in it, passing NULL as a cache entry. This caused
reading multiple trees, one of which has path "x" but another doesn't, to
segfault.
