I had a hard time figuring out why this test was failing with
the packed-refs update without running it under "sh -x". This
makes output from "sh t1400-update-ref.sh -v" more descriptive.
Updating other tests would be a good janitorial task.

Alex Riesen (raa.lkml@gmail.com) recently observed that git branch
would fail with no error message due to unexpected situations with
regards to refs. For example, if .git/refs/heads/gu is a file but
"git branch -b refs/heads/gu/fixa HEAD" was invoked by the user
it would fail silently due to refs/heads/gu being a file and not
a directory.
This change adds a test for trying to create a ref within a directory
that is actually currently a file, and adds error printing within
the ref locking routine should the resolve operation fail.
The error printing code probably belongs at this level of the library
as other failures within the ref locking, writing and logging code
are also currently at this level of the code.

This way we don't have to remember to set it for each test; and
if we forget, we won't cause interactive editors to be spawned
for non-interactive tests.

If committing a merge (.git/MERGE_HEAD exists), an initial tree
(no HEAD) or using --amend to amend the prior commit then denote
the subtype of commit in the reflog. This helps to distinguish
amended or merge commits from normal commits.
In the case of --amend the prior sha1 is probably the commit which
is being thrown away in favor of the new commit. Since it is likely
that the old commit doesn't have any ref pointing to it anymore
it can be interesting to know why that the commit was replaced
and orphaned.
In the case of a merge the prior sha1 is probably the first parent
of the new merge commit. Consequently having its prior sha1 in the
reflog is slightly less interesting but its still informative to
know the commit was the result of a merge which had to be completed
by hand.

The reflog message from git-commit should include the first line
of the commit message as supplied by the user.

Its ambiguous to parse "master@2006-05-17 18:30:foo" when foo is
meant as a file name and ":30" is meant as 30 minutes past 6 pm.
Therefore all date specifications in a sha1 expression must now
appear within brackets and the ':' splitter used for the path name
in a sha1 expression ignores ':' appearing within brackets.

Corrected the log starting time displayed in the error message
(as it was always showing the epoch due to a bad input to strtoul).
Improved the log parser so we only scan backwards towards the
'\n' from the end of the prior log; during this scan the last '>'
is remembered to improve performance (rather than scanning forward
to it).
If the log record matched is the last log record in the file only
use its new sha1 value if the date matches exactly; otherwise we
leave the passed in sha1 alone as it already contains the current
value of the ref. This way lookups of dates later than the log
end to stick with the current ref value in case the ref was updated
without logging.
If it looks like someone changed the ref without logging it and we
are going to return the sha1 which should have been valid during
the missing period then warn the user that there might be log data
missing and thus their query result may not be accurate. The check
isn't perfect as its just based on comparing the old and new sha1
values between the two log records but its better than not checking
at all.
Implemented test cases based on git-rev-parse for most of the
boundary conditions.

If config parameter core.logAllRefUpdates is true or the log
file already exists then append a line to ".git/logs/refs/<ref>"
whenever git-update-ref <ref> is executed. Each log line contains
the following information:
oldsha1 <SP> newsha1 <SP> committer <LF>
where committer is the current user, date, time and timezone in
the standard GIT ident format. If the caller is unable to append
to the log file then git-update-ref will fail without updating <ref>.
An optional message may be included in the log line with the -m flag.
