2122f8b963 rev-parse: Add support for the ^! and ^@ syntax
Those shorthands are explained in the rev-parse documentation but were not
actually supported by rev-parse itself.

gitk internally uses rev-parse to interpret its command line arguments, and
being able to use these "limit with parents" syntax is handy there.

47c6ef1c8d make sure parsed wildcard refspec ends with slash
A wildcard refspec is internally parsed into a refspec structure with src
and dst strings.  Many parts of the code assumed that these do not include
the trailing "/*" when matching the wildcard pattern with an actual ref we
see at the remote.  What this meant was that we needed to make sure not
just that the prefix matched, and also that a slash followed the part that
matched.

But a codepath that scans the result from ls-remote and finds matching
refs forgot to check the "matching part must be followed by a slash" rule.
This resulted in "refs/heads/b1" from the remote side to mistakenly match
the source side of "refs/heads/b/*:refs/remotes/b/*" refspec.

Worse, the refspec crafted internally by "git-clone", and a hardcoded
preparsed refspec that is used to implement "git-fetch --tags", violated
this "parsed widcard refspec does not end with slash" rule; simply adding
the "matching part must be followed by a slash" rule then would have
broken codepaths that use these refspecs.

This commit changes the rule to require a trailing slash to parsed
wildcard refspecs.  IOW, "refs/heads/b/*:refs/remotes/b/*" is parsed as
src = "refs/heads/b/" and dst = "refs/remotes/b/".  This allows us to
simplify the matching logic because we only need to do a prefixcmp() to
notice "refs/heads/b/one" matches and "refs/heads/b1" does not.

c7f7457026 git-gui: "Stage Line": Treat independent changes in adjacent lines better
Assume that we want to commit these states:

  Old state == HEAD    Intermediate state   New state
  --------------------------------------------------------
  context before       context before       context before
  old 1                new 1                new 1
  old 2                old 2                new 2
  context after        context after        context after

that is, want to commit two changes in this order:

  1. transform "old 1" into "new 1"
  2. transform "old 2" into "new 2"

[This discussion and this patch is about this very case and one other case
as outlined below; any other intermediate states that one could imagine are
not affected by this patch.]

Now assume further, that we have not staged and commited anything, but we
have already changed the working file to the new state. Then we will see
this hunk in the "Unstaged Changes":

  @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@
   context before
  -old 1
  -old 2
  +new 1
  +new 2
   context after

The obvious way to stage the intermediate state is to apply "Stage This
Line" to "-old 1" and "+new 1". Unfortunately, this resulted in this
intermediate state:

  context before
  old 2
  new 1
  context after

which is not what we wanted. In fact, it was impossible to stage the
intermediate state using "Stage Line". The crux was that if a "+" line was
staged, then the "-" lines were converted to context lines and arranged
*before* the "+" line in the forged hunk that we fed to 'git apply'.

With this patch we now treat "+" lines that are staged differently. In
particular, the "-" lines before the "+" block are moved *after* the
staged "+" line. Now it is possible to get the correct intermediate state
by staging "-old 1" and "+new 1". Problem solved.

But there is a catch.

Noticing that we didn't get the right intermediate state by staging
"-old 1" and "+new 1", we could have had the idea to stage the complete
hunk and to *unstage* "-old 2" and "+new 2". But... the result is the same.
The reason is that there is the exact symmetric problem with unstaging the
last "-" and "+" line that are in adjacent blocks of "-" and "+" lines.

This patch does *not* change the way in which "-" lines are *unstaged*.

Why? Because if we did (i.e. move "+" lines before the "-" line after
converting them to context lines), then it would be impossible to stage
this intermediate state:

  context before
  old 1
  new 2
  context after

that is, it would be impossible to stage the two independet changes in the
opposite order.

Let's look at this case a bit further: The obvious way to get this
intermediate state would be to apply "Stage This Line" to "-old 2" and
"+new 2". Before this patch, this worked as expected. With this patch, it
does not work as expected, but it can still be achieved by first staging
the entire hunk, then *unstaging* "-old 1" and "+new 1".

In summary, this patch makes a common case possible, at the expense that
a less common case is made more complicated for the user.

fa6b5b3944 git-gui: Fix "Stage/Unstage Line" with one line of context.
To "Stage/Unstage Line" we construct a patch that contains exactly one
change (either addition or removal); the hunk header was forged by counting
the old side and adjusting the count by +/-1 for the new side. But when we
counted the context we never counted the changed line itself. If the hunk
had only one removal line and one line of context, like this:

which does not apply because git apply deduces that it must apply at the
end of the file. ("context 2" is considered garbage and ignored.) The fix
is that removal lines must be counted towards the context of the old side.

35eeef4722 Windows: Make sure argv[0] has a path
Since the exec-path on Windows is derived from the program invocation path,
we must ensure that argv[0] always has a path. Unfortunately, if a program
is invoked from CMD, argv[0] has no path. But on the other hand, the
C runtime offers a global variable, _pgmptr, that always has the full path
to the program. We hook into main() with a preprocessor macro, where we
replace argv[0].

10c4c881c4 Allow add_path() to add non-existent directories to the path
This function had used make_absolute_path(); but this function dies if
the directory that contains the entry whose relative path was supplied in
the argument does not exist. This is a problem if the argument is, for
example, "../libexec/git-core", and that "../libexec" does not exist.

Since the resolution of symbolic links is not required for elements in
PATH, we can fall back to using make_nonrelative_path(), which simply
prepends $PWD to the path.

We have to move make_nonrelative_path() alongside make_absolute_path() in
abspath.c so that git-shell can be linked. See 5b8e6f85f.

49fa65a7a8 Allow the built-in exec path to be relative to the command invocation path
If GIT_EXEC_PATH (the macro that is defined in the Makefile) is relative,
it is interpreted relative to the command's invocation path, which usually
is $(bindir).

(absolute) installation directory.

966c6edd31 Fix relative built-in paths to be relative to the command invocation
$(gitexecdir) (as defined in the Makefile) has gained another path
component, but the relative paths in the MINGW section of the Makefile,
which are interpreted relative to it, do not account for it.

Instead of adding another ../ in front of the path, we change the code that
constructs the absolute paths to do it relative to the command's directory,
which is essentially $(bindir). We do it this way because we will also
allow a relative $(gitexecdir) later.

46beb55988 Makefile: Normalize $(bindir) and $(gitexecdir) before comparing
The install target needs to check whether the user has opted to make
$(gitexecdir) equal to $(bindir). It did so by a straight string
comparison. Since we are going to allow a relative $(gitexecdir), we have
to normalize paths before comparison, which we do with $(cd there && pwd).

The normalized paths are stored in shell variables. These we can now
reuse in the subsequent install statements, which conveniently shortens
the lines a bit.

c70a8d98a5 Makefile: Do not install a copy of 'git' in $(gitexecdir)
There is already a copy in $(bindir). A subsequent patch will enable git
to derive the exec-path from its invocation path. If git is invoked
recursively, the first invocation puts the exec-path into PATH, so that
the recursive invocation would find the instance in the exec-path. This
second instance would again try to derive an exec-path from its invocation
path, but would base its result on the wrong "bindir".

We do install the copy of git first, but remove it later, so that we can
use it as the source of the hardlinks for the builtins.

exactly that path when we source it during the application start
we can correctly run gitk on any Git 1.5 or later.

2007-11-16), "$1" is used from a regexp without using () to capture
anything in $1. Later, when that value was used, it causes a warning about
a variable being undefined, instead of using the correct value for
comparison (not that it makes difference in the current code that does not
do actual re-encoding).

a2d07d80ec document that git-tag can tag more than heads
After looking the git-tag manpage, someone on #git wondered how
to tag a commit that is not a branch head.  This patch changes
the synopsis to say "<commit> | <object>" instead of "<head>" to
address his question.

Samuel Bronson had the idea of putting "<commit> | <object>"
for "<object>" because most tags point to commits (and for the
rest of the manpage, all tags point to commits).

Commit d773c631 (bash: offer only paths after '--', 2008-07-08) did the
same for several other git commands, but 'git checkout' went unnoticed.

859fdabaed git-checkout: improve error messages, detect ambiguities.
The patch is twofold: it moves the option consistency checks just under
the parse_options call so that it doesn't get in the way of the tree
reference vs. pathspecs desambiguation.

The other part rewrites the way to understand arguments so that when
git-checkout fails it does with an understandable message. Compared to the
previous behavior we now have:

  - a better error message when doing:

        git checkout <blob reference> --

    now complains about the reference not pointing to a tree, instead of
    things like:

        error: pathspec <blob reference> did not match any file(s) known to git.
        error: pathspec '--' did not match any file(s) known to git.

  - a better error message when doing:

        git checkout <path> --

    It now complains about <path> not being a reference instead of the
    completely obscure:

        error: pathspec '--' did not match any file(s) known to git.

  - an error when -- wasn't used, and the first argument is ambiguous
    (i.e. can be interpreted as both ref and as path).
