e6d1f76ccf git-merge.sh: better handling of combined --squash,--no-ff,--no-commit options
git-merge used to use either the --squash,--no-squash, --no-ff,--ff,
--no-commit,--commit option, whichever came last in the command line.
This lead to some un-intuitive behavior, having

 git merge --no-commit --no-ff <branch>

actually commit the merge.  Now git-merge respects --no-commit together
with --no-ff, as well as other combinations of the options.  However,
this broke a selftest in t/t7600-merge.sh which expected to have --no-ff
completely override the --squash option, so that

 git merge --squash --no-ff <branch>

fast-forwards, and makes a merge commit; combining --squash with --no-ff
doesn't really make sense though, and is now refused by git-merge.  The
test is adapted to test --no-ff without the preceding --squash, and
another test is added to make sure the --squash --no-ff combination is
refused.

The unexpected behavior was reported by John Goerzen through
 http://bing.sdebian.org/468568

0f2d4476c1 revert: actually check for a dirty index
The previous code mistakenly used wt_status_prepare to check whether the
index had anything commitable in it; however, that function is just an
init function, and will never report a dirty index.

The correct way with wt_status_* would be to call wt_status_print with the
output pointing to /dev/null or similar. However, that does extra work by
both examining the working tree and spewing status information to nowhere.

Instead, let's just implement the useful subset of wt_status_print as an
"is_index_dirty" function.

90d0ed96b7 tests: introduce test_must_fail
When we expect a git command to notice and signal errors, we
carelessly wrote in our tests:

    test_expect_success 'reject bogus request' '
        do something &&
        do something else &&
        ! git command
    '

but a non-zero exit could come from the "git command" segfaulting.

A new helper function "tset_must_fail" is introduced and it is
meant to be used to make sure the command gracefully fails (iow,
dying and exiting with non zero status is counted as a failure
to "gracefully fail").  The above example should be written as:

    test_expect_success 'reject bogus request' '
        do something &&
        do something else &&
        test_must_fail git command
    '

0f497e75f0 Eliminate confusing "won't bisect on seeked tree" failure
This error message is very confusing---it doesn't tell the user
anything about how to fix the situation. And the actual fix
for the situation ("git bisect reset") does a checkout of a
potentially random branch, (compared to what the user wants to
be on for the bisect she is starting).

The simplest way to eliminate the confusion is to just make
"git bisect start" do the cleanup itself. There's no significant
loss of safety here since we already have a general safety in
the form of the reflog.

Note: We preserve the warning for any cogito users. We do this
by switching from .git/head-name to .git/BISECT_START for the
extra state, (which is a more descriptive name anyway).

959ba670ad commit: discard index after setting up partial commit
There may still be some entries from the original index that
should be discarded before we show the status. In
particular, if a file was added in the index but not
included in the partial commit, it would still show up in
the status listing as staged for commit.

Ultimately the correct fix is to keep the two states in
separate index_state variables. Then we can avoid having
to reload the cache from the temporary file altogether, and
just point wt_status_print at the correct index.

We used to use "cat-file commit $commit" to extract the original

5ac2715 (Consistent message encoding while reusing log from an

you have a file in your work tree that can be interpreted as a
valid object name (e.g. "HEAD"), this conversion will not work.

8464010f97 Make git prune remove temporary packs that look like write failures
Write errors when repacking (eg, due to out-of-space conditions)
can leave temporary packs (and possibly other files beginning
with "tmp_") lying around which no existing
codepath removes and which aren't obvious to the casual user.
These can also be multi-megabyte files wasting noticeable space.
Unfortunately there's no way to definitely tell in builtin-prune
that a tmp_ file is not being used by a concurrent process,
such as a fetch. However, it is documented that pruning should
only be done on a quiet repository and --expire is honoured
(using code from Johannes Schindelin, along with a test case
he wrote) so that its safety is the same as that of loose
object pruning.

Since they might be signs of a problem (unlike orphaned loose
objects) the names of any removed files are printed.

c3b0dec509 Be more careful about updating refs
This makes write_ref_sha1() more careful: it actually checks the SHA1 of
the ref it is updating, and refuses to update a ref with an object that it
cannot find.

Perhaps more importantly, it also refuses to update a branch head with a
non-commit object. I don't quite know *how* the stable series maintainers
were able to corrupt their repository to have a HEAD that pointed to a tag
rather than a commit object, but they did. Which results in a totally
broken repository that cannot be cloned or committed on.

So make it harder for people to shoot themselves in the foot like that.

The test t1400-update-ref.sh is fixed at the same time, as it
assumed that the commands involved in the particular test would
not care about corrupted repositories whose refs point at
nonexistant bogus objects.  That assumption does not hold true
anymore.

It is a good practice to write program output to a temporary file
during the test, as it would allow easier postmortem when the tested
program does break.  But there is no benefit in writing the expected
output out to the temporary.

This actually fixes a bug in check_verify_failure() routine.
The intention of the test seems to make sure the "git mktag" command
fails, and it spits out the expected error message.  But if the
command did not fail as expected, the shell function as originally

02e5ba4ae6 config: handle lack of newline at end of file better
The config parsing routines use the static global
'config_file' to store the FILE* pointing to the current
config file being parsed. The function get_next_char()
automatically converts an EOF on this file to a newline for
the convenience of its callers, and it sets config_file to
NULL to indicate that EOF was reached.

This throws away useful information, though, since some
routines want to call ftell on 'config_file' to find out
exactly _where_ the routine ended. In the case of a key
ending at EOF boundary, we ended up segfaulting in some
cases (changing that key or adding another key in its
section), or failing to provide the necessary newline
(adding a new section).

This patch adds a new flag to indicate EOF and uses that
instead of setting config_file to NULL. It also makes sure
to add newlines where necessary for truncated input. All
three included tests fail without the patch.

0faf2da7e5 Fix "git log --diff-filter" bug
In commit b7bb760d5ed4881422673d32f869d140221d3564 (Fix revision
log diff setup, avoid unnecessary diff generation) an optimization was
made to avoid unnecessary diff generation.  This was partly fixed in
99516e35d096f41e7133cacde8fbed8ee9a3ecd0 (Fix embarrassing "git log
--follow" bug).  The '--diff-filter' option also needs the diff machinery
in action.

c8deb5a146 Improve error messages when int/long cannot be parsed from config
If a config file has become mildly corrupted due to a missing LF
we may discover some other option joined up against the end of a
numeric value.  For example:

	[section]
	number = 1auto

where the "auto" flag was meant to occur on the next line, below
"number", but the missing LF has caused it to no longer be its
own option.  Instead the word "auto" is parsed as a 'unit factor'
for the value of "number".

Before this change we got the confusing error message:

  fatal: unknown unit: 'auto'

which told us nothing about where the problem appeared.  Now we get:

  fatal: bad config value for 'aninvalid.unit'

which at least points the user in the right direction of where to
search for the incorrectly formatted configuration file.

Noticed by erikh on #git, which received the original error from
a simple `git checkout -b` due to a midly corrupted config.

5f06573743 Allow selection of different cleanup modes for commit messages
Although we traditionally stripped away excess blank lines, trailing
whitespaces and lines that begin with "#" from the commit log message,
sometimes the message just has to be the way user wants it.

For instance, a commit message template can contain lines that begin with
"#", the message must be kept as close to its original source as possible
if you are converting from a foreign SCM, or maybe the message has a shell
script including its comments for future reference.

The cleanup modes are default, verbatim, whitespace and strip. The
default mode depends on if the message is being edited and will either
strip whitespace and comments (if editor active) or just strip the
whitespace (for where the message is given explicitely).

The way to signal failure is to leave non-zero in $?, not abort
the entire test.
